I am very pleased this morning to welcome Mr. Matt Greek as one of our experts providing testimony this morning.

I urge my colleagues to work together to get this important legislation to the President's desk.

We need to do that on the scoring. That will absolutely bring resources to you, help get projects done.

I have a bill in with Senator Cory Booker, so it is a bipartisan bill on WIFIA.

I worry that many communities in North Dakota and across the nation that rely on CDBG will be losing a valuable tool.

I want to commend you for moving authority for Section 408 request to the district level.

I rise in support of S. 140, as amended, the bill sponsored by the outstanding Senator from the great State of Kansas, Mr. Moran. This bill affirms Tribal sovereignty and upholds the unique government-to-government relationship the United…
