There are so many projects, like I-45 in Texas, that recklessly tears into minority neighborhoods without any response to those voters, those constituents, wiping out their houses and churches and schools. So the Department of Transportation funding will be in here that we will have the opportunity to assess environment impact statements. Finally, let me offer my greatest appreciation for Chairwoman Nita Lowey; yes, an angel on this floor for so many years, guiding us, leading us in a way that brought back the kind of success that America needs. Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. DeLauro for her hard work and I wish her success as well.
