Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I come from Memphis, which is a transportation hub, but I am an American, and transportation moves goods and products and creates jobs.

I am proud to be for this bill. I would have preferred having the bill that the Transportation Committee came up with. We worked until 4 in the morning to come up with a bill.

But that is not reality. This is the only bill that in reality can happen. This is much more of a Republican bill; bipartisan from the Senate, endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, endorsed by many, many Republican groups.

Nobody do I think more of than the dean of the House, and I am so happy Don Young endorsed this bill. I hope more Republicans will join with him. This is a good bill for America. I will vote for it to move America forward.
