Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I thank the lead sponsors of this bill, Congressman Dunn - an 11-year Army veteran and M.D. - and Mr. Takano.”

I would just encourage the Secretary and the leadership at DOT to stay focused on ensuring that these funds are getting out to local communities as quickly as possible.

We want people who are intellectually curious, I think, to get those people and get them into the field.

Ultimately, however, we will need to enact policy to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
