Try to do something good for truckers without doing something bad. Don't cripple them with unnecessary insurance increases and speed limiter mandates.

We want more truck parking. Not only should you cosponsor the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act, but let's get it done.

Illinois Representatives Bustos and Bost introduced H.R. 4988, the 'Conservation Assistance Loan Act of 2018.'

In full disclosure, I had the privilege to work on this concept with Illinois Farm Bureau.

Our natural resources are a foundation of our quality of life, and how we manage them must transcend party politics.

We need to be able to work through restrictions that are caused by NEPA.

My constituents are very, very tired of it. They are tired of the roadblocks to the work.

We will have to be bold, and step over lines, say, 'No, we must do this.'

I appreciate her being here, and I appreciate the opportunity to introduce her.

I am happy to have the opportunity to introduce our constituent, Geri Boyer from Belleville, Illinois, as a witness for today's hearing.

Congress must provide sufficient resources to staff a ninth office. This includes providing a minimum of $96 million for antidumping and countervailing duty activities. In addition, we should require the Secretary of Commerce to provide…

I urge the committee and USACE to consider the authorization of a long-term, permanent plan at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam that fully and effectively stops Asian carp.

We must be clear-eyed about the damage climate change is already doing and invest in the necessary flood mitigation infrastructure to protect the people of Chicago now.

No community should have to go through the difficulties that Hamburg faced simply to protect themselves from severe flooding.

We can't continue to throw good money after bad, and need to repair this levee to the fullest possible extent and not simply the cheapest.

The challenges Hamburg faced are unacceptable and I'm testifying today to get things changed for my constituents in Southwest Iowa and communities across the country that may face similar challenges.

Congress needs to make protecting and preserving the Great Lakes a national priority.

Timely completion of the work at Brandon Road is essential for the next steps in the process of safeguarding the Great Lakes region.

The importance of protecting our vulnerable lakes' freshwater system from this disastrous invasive species cannot be overstated.

I urge Members to include provisions that would protect and restore the resiliency of the Great Lakes shoreline for today, tomorrow, and generations to come.

The Soo Locks are essential to both our national economy and our national security.

The Brandon Road Lock and Dam Project represents our best opportunity to prevent Asian carp from ever reaching the Great Lakes.

I support the existing authorization and future appropriation of full funding to modernize the Soo locks.

We must authorize at full Federal cost-share levels the appropriate funds to begin the preconstruction engineering and design at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam project.

In Michigan, protecting our waterways and the Great Lakes is one of the most bipartisan issues.
