"Everyone knows that the Chairman and I don't always see eye to eye, but infrastructure is one of the issues that we do agree on."

"It is a good idea to have this during this lame duck session because it lets people know, it reminds them that we are going to move forward with this."

"I would like to start by commending you, Madam Chairman, for your leadership and dedication to addressing the nation's infrastructure challenges."

"I think we have an opportunity here to make tremendous progress in the short term."
