On the recordApril 2, 2004
I would just like to concur in the commendation that our chairman extended to the working staff on both sides of the aisle, and to say to my colleagues that this is a work in progress. This is an important milestone, but this is not the end of the process by any means. We will be working on this and voting on it over the coming months, and then we will be back under the terms of this bill in about 18 months to readdress the needs of our Nation in the transportation area. So this is not a one-time snapshot that is set. This is a work in progress; and I hope that, as we continue with this work in progress, we will work together to meet the transportation needs of our country, which are enormous.
