“I rise today to offer the Rogan amendment that will facilitate effective traffic mitigation at reasonable cost for the citizens of South Pasadena and the surrounding communities of Pasadena, Altadena, La Canada, and East Los Angeles. The reason that I am offering the Rogan amendment, and the gentleman from California (Mr. Rogan) himself is not here to offer it, is that in addition to being a dedicated Member of this House, he is also a dedicated parent. He and his wife Christine at this moment are attending to the urgent medical needs of their daughters. He would very much himself have wanted to be here to offer this amendment, and I am happy to do it in his stead. This amendment is supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as well as environmental organizations, including Friends of the Earth and the Sierra Club. It is identical to a measure passed with bipartisan support in the last Congress. It will reduce the cost to taxpayers of freeway construction in southern California and free Federal funds for traffic mitigation and infrastructure support projects.”
