The $100 billion in funding for rail projects included in this monumental law is a game changer for communities nationwide.

The American people have a right to know.

We believe the bi-partisan efforts to increase funding through the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail grant program is sound policy.

We want to express our support of your efforts to improve the nineteenth-century infrastructure on the Northeast Corridor.

Let's be clear. We are here today because Joe Biden opened his mouth. When Joe Biden took office, he had to do nothing. He had to do nothing to secure our southern border. All he had to do was keep President Trump's policies in place…

I ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the following statements from the Private Railcar Food and Beverage Association...

Thank you, Ranking Member Payne.

The supply chain situation boiled over into a full-blown crisis last year as the Biden administration sat idle and helpless to fix the problem.

Ninety-seven Members of the House, including Chairman Nehls, Ranking Member Payne, and Ranking Member Larsen, actually have already signed a letter requesting fiscal year 2024 appropriations funding for CRISI at the fully authorized level.

The committee also held hearings on the Surface Transportation Board proposals and activities aimed at addressing rail service challenges.

We need to go out there and fix the problems.

I think we should provide a lot more funding and support to try to think about how we can support this program.

The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to ripple through supply chains and transportation modes, including freight railroads.

Our tax dollars should not go to foreign firms, supported by nonmarket economies or countries watchlisted by the U.S. Trade Representative.

Just imagine if Congress opted to ban lobbyists from using bathrooms as you wait outside these committee rooms or offices.

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) recently introduced H.J.Res. 53, which mirrors Sen. Fischer's efforts by nullifying EPA's final rule.

I have been a strong supporter of the need to establish a motor carrier safety selection standard.

I believe strongly that when taxpayer funds are spent the primary beneficiaries should be American companies and American workers.

We strongly encourage members of the Committee to cosponsor this important legislation, which will demonstrate to professional drivers that their lawmakers not only understand the challenges they routinely face on the road, but are willing…

I believe it is the right thing to do. I will continue to fight like hell, Mr. Pugh, to pass these two important pieces of legislation.

Far too many Members of Congress, including many on this Committee, have readily accepted the driver shortage myth, which illustrates a troubling lack of understanding about our industry among policymakers.

Mike Bost has the piece of legislation, the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act, and I am a cosponsor of it.

I just want to put on the record and say to all the lobbyists and trade associations trying to sink this bill--because they are out there trying to sink this bill--first of all, I really don't care what you think on this issue, I really…

We thank Congressman Nehls and Members of this Committee who have cosponsored this critical piece of legislation.

I ask the committee to support my bill. Let experienced pilots fly, raising the age from 65 to 67.
