Mary Landrieu: “There's no way around it. And until we can figure out a way to put more private and public money on the table, we're not…”

Senator Landrieu recently announced that on June 30, we are going to be holding a field hearing on trade issues down in New Orleans.

I generally support the goals of the enhancements to the FAST Act, and do believe, as Senator McCaskill said, that having--and both of you--a permanent director, a budget, a staff to give some strength to what you all are trying to do.

That MOU would not have been possible without Alex and without the Federal push coming down to tell them, 'You must work together,' and maybe we need stronger.

There is a lot of room to avoid duplication.
