“Mr. Speaker, Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote, ``For my part, I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.'' This Nation's proud history is filled with the deeds and adventures of great explorers and brave pioneers whose journeys were often more fascinating than their destinations. As we continue to explore, pioneer and grow, the people of a young nation no longer travel just for adventure or, as Stevenson opined, solely for travel's sake. We began traveling for a much simpler purpose. We traveled to get somewhere. We never stop finding a way to do it safer, faster and cheaper. Whether it was the trailblazers of the Old West laying rails across a new frontier or immigrants from the Old World digging the ditches of a new canal; the growth, prosperity and opportunities of this great Nation have been intertwined with our ability, as a people, to move.”
