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.

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.
