I agree that the pending transportation bill is not the place to consider budget enforcement provisions within the Budget Committee's jurisdiction. Even though the budget enforcement provisions in this bill are meaningless in the absence of other process measures, I did not support their inclusion.

I will work closely with the Senator from North Dakota to make sure all Senate Budget Committee members have an opportunity to provide input on these issues.
