On the recordNovember 7, 1997
I particularly call on the National Governors' Association. They came forward in a hearing that I chaired last week, and were very explicit on this whole matter. It was made very clear by the contractors who also appeared at that hearing that there is a short period for certain States for construction. It is imperative that this matter go forward. We have made, as I say, in a bipartisan way, our best effort. Now, with the help of the infrastructure, I am sure that the other body will see the wisdom in this measure, and pass it.
