On the recordMarch 29, 2012

I and the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio) and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Bishop) have tried and tried and tried to bring that up and on the floor of the House. Yet we get turned down at every turn in the road. At every corner in the road, we get turned down in our efforts to bring up the bipartisan Senate transportation bill. It is not very often that you will find such a measure produced by that other body. Yet they've done it this time, and we cannot get it brought up to the floor of this body.
