Mary Landrieu: “I would like to answer the Senator from California by saying the record will speak for itself because that vote we just…”

On the recordJuly 29, 2010
I would like to answer the Senator from California by saying the record will speak for itself because that vote we just took, there were 59 Senators, all on this side of the aisle, who pushed a green light, and there were 41 on the other side who pushed a red light. So it is very clear who is trying to move forward and who is trying to stop this bill. It is very clear. I don't think there is anyone, even in the press, confused about that because this debate, amazingly, has been so open. So much of it has gone on on the Senate floor that they can actually follow it. These deals are not being done in back rooms; they are being done right here on the Senate floor, and they are following it. They know there are 70 organizations, and they know this bill is bipartisan.

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.
