I will conclude with this: In a recent study, it was found that the United States could add $500 billion to the gross domestic product over the next 15 years by increasing the number of workers with postsecondary education by 20…

it is an honor to stand here with a chorus of my colleagues speaking about an issue that goes to the core of the idea of this country; that is, every generation will be better than the one before. It is the idea that in this Nation we…

The tunnels carry over 160,000 passengers; as I said, again, the busiest river crossing in the United States of America.

This is an article about the deterioration of the Hudson Crossing which is the busiest river crossing in the United States of America and a critical part of our national economy.

It's with great hesitancy that, while it's the first time I have the Chair of the Commerce Committee, that I look across the table at my friend and colleague, Senator Heller.

The public-private partnership on funding infrastructure, I don't know if you've looked at the legislation that Senator Blunt and Senator Bennet and I and others, and maybe even some of the others that are still here, have done is…

The clock is ticking if that 20 years is coming down.
