Political Quotes

On the recordApril 1, 1998
I rise today to simply say that BESTEA is a good, bipartisan bill. It will provide better, safer roads. It will provide new and improved public transit systems. It will improve air quality by reducing traffic congestion and by promoting public transit. It will provide good jobs for middle-class Americans. It will ensure America's future as a world leader by maintaining and improving our world class transportation system. I strongly urge all of my colleagues to vote to invest in America's future and vote in favor of H.R. 2400 today.
