Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I strongly believe that any NASA authorization bill that comes out of this Committee should reflect these realities.”

Thank you, Chairman DeFazio, and Ranking Member Graves, for holding today's hearing on implementation of the IIJA.

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.

Written statement by Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, Chairwoman, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives.

I don't agree that the blame game of Republicans or the prior Administration holds any significance to where we are.
