I appreciate your efforts.

May I ask for the time remaining on both sides again. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Missouri has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Washington has 7\1/2\ minutes remaining.

We are here today to discuss discretionary grant programs at the Department of Transportation (DOT) and to hear firsthand from stakeholders about their experiences with the Department's grant processes.

With your partnership, we can keep this momentum going, we can deliver good projects for more communities, and we can build and rebuild our transportation systems to meet the 21st, and even 22nd, century needs of Americans.
