Frank Lautenberg: “What sources of funding might Congress consider for these future high-speed rail investments?”

I believe it is time for this subcommittee and others to give serious thought to the way the IRS is funded.

I am honored to serve as chairman of this subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over crucial Federal programs that support our economy.

We also need to expand our research into climate change so we better understand the coming impacts, and how to mitigate them.

Both agencies were crucial in helping New Jersey respond to and recover from Superstorm Sandy, and Congress must support them so that we are better prepared for future storms.
