I thank Congressman Carson. I thank him for reminding us that America's infrastructure is in desperate need of investment. That is what this is about. Talking about investment, Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Lawrence), the second vice chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, the chair of the Women's Caucus, someone who understands infrastructure probably more than most of us. You see, when she started as a postal worker before she worked her way up, she was in the community and on those roads. She was traveling across those bridges, and she was listening to people. That is why her constituents voted her to be mayor. As mayor, we certainly understand the things that you are hit with the most, our infrastructure, our roads, our bridges, our care for human infrastructure.
