“Over the course of the past two congresses, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has demonstrated an ability to efficiently move legislation from the hearing room to the president’s desk. We have been effective thanks in no small part to our talented staff, whose experience and knowledge have enabled our committee to advance an agenda to ensure America has a 21st century infrastructure and to strengthen the nation’s competitiveness,” Shuster said, Dec. 6.
