On the recordMarch 20, 2002
Number one, we have a reserve fund for the extra transportation dollars so it would only be released to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure if in fact they marked it at that higher level, 4.4 of contract authority, 1.3 in outlays. Second, on the firewall that was discussed, that is for a future potential budget enforcement act reform bill that we intend to move on the floor. The third question was whether or not we would try for a higher number with the Senate. We are working to try to get as much money to stimulate the economy as possible. We agree transportation is one of the ways. We will work for as high a number as we can.
