This is simply more of the same.

I look forward to hearing your testimony and having a productive dialogue about the current state of CRS and ways in which improvements can be made.

What I am interested in doing is having this Committee lay out our expectations for a path forward that will drive the necessary institutional changes that are needed in any agency.

An agency with such an influential and rich history should be the gold standard of research organizations not just here but worldwide.

Let me be clear: I expect the Congressional Research Service and the Library of Congress to respond to the concerns and recommendations expressed by the Committee today.

Congress has relied on CRS since the early 1900s as its primary support agency for public policy research and analysis.

Dear Chair Holmes Norton and Ranking Member Davis:

Safety has and must continue to be a focus of the surface transportation reauthorization bill.

I do not think the rules that we pass in this committee, the bills that we pass and sign into law, ever intended for somebody like that to be impacted the way he is.

As you examine the pressure the trucking industry faces, we hope you will consider the benefits identified by The Americans for Modern Transportation Coalition.

we can make a bunch of partisan noise. We can do that here today and blame one another for who should have done more to protect our elections. Or we can make progress.
