I also want to thank Chairman DeFazio in particular for his work in shaping this legislation.
Being Chair of the Committee over the past four years has been the highlight of my 36-year career.
Much of this forward-looking, practice-relevant, and transportation workforce expanding effort was catalyzed through the leadership of Congressman DeFazio fifteen years ago.
I am proud of the work of this committee and this Congress, as a whole, for these last 2 years to break through that inertia and deliver for the American people.
