Cohen emphasizes the need for comprehensive environmental justice laws.

This was built at a time when there were not--it was before the Interstate Highway System, so, it didn't have any interstate highway levels of protection and stats.
Thank you, Chairman Graves and Ranking Member Cohen, and distinguished members of the committee.
I hope we get a vote when we come back next week to support the Ukrainians, who are valiantly fighting to maintain democracy.
