If you care about a new 21st century transportation policy, if you care about the fact that the United States of America is falling behind because of the state of disrepair of our system, the delays for our businesses and industry, the lack of competitiveness because of that system, if we look at what our competitors are doing to build out new systems and efficient systems, if you care about those things, you will vote for my amendment. Strip the $200 million from an unauthorized program. Remember, this is an appropriations bill. You're not supposed to create new programs or authorize things. All we say is, it's subject to authorization. That is why I'm happy to look at the $200 million or even more for an office of livability in an authorizing bill. Let's have a meaningful discussion. Let's get it done. Don't let the administration cherry-pick and end-run us.
