Advanced Vehicle Technology Act Of 2009

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. VAN HOLLEN. Mr Chair, I rise in support of the Advanced Vehicle Technology Act of 2009.

This bipartisan bill will provide long term, sustained funding for a comprehensive research and development program across a spectrum of vehicle sizes and advanced vehicle technologies. It will focus and better coordinate the ongoing work of our federal agencies, research institutions and private industry on this important task. And it will benefit all Americans by strengthening our energy security, reducing harmful emissions, providing consumers with more vehicle choice, boosting our manufacturing sector and enhancing our international competitiveness.

I commend Representatives PETERS and BIGGERT for crafting this forward-looking legislation. I urge my colleagues' support.
