Mary Landrieu: “Thank you Chairman Durbin and Ranking Member Collins for calling this oversight hearing on the Consumer Product Safety…”

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.

If this process is not fixed or focused or made better, it would really be not worth speaking about.

There is a lot of room to avoid duplication.

Thank you for continuing your focus on this, because the work is not done, and there are billions and billions of dollars of projects that could be built.
