Works committee. Its about two hours. I call this hearing to order. Todays hearing is about the need for this committee to draft and to pass a bipartisan Highway Infrastructure bill. Both Ranking Member carpers staff and my staff have been working on drafting this legislation along with all of the members of this committee. We appreciate all the input we received from our home states, from our fellow members and from transportation stakeholders. Its our shared goal to advance a bill out of the committee this summer. That means the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will be first out of the gate to pass a Highway Infrastructure bill. This is appropriate given the history of bipartisan efforts to pass previous surface as far as surface transportation bills. Chef crumbling roads and bridges and they need to replaced. Projected population growth and existing congestion require states to build new capacity to meet future needs. Our economy is built upon a well functioning road sy

We cant be hypocritical of the chinese for enforcing their own. I think the key question that is being put on the table the question is in fact certain what are proported to be private enterprises are in fact tools of the Foreign Government for the purpose of espionage. Im not here to suggest whether in fact huawei is or is not. Theyre doing us a favor in one respect. You remember, i remember back when we were worried about the threat from the japanese against the when they bought Rockefeller Center down the street and everyone thought the world was coming to an end. One of the great things i remember from one of my professors at columbia was, you know, if we didnt have the japanese we should have invented them. They made us
Close to old media, to a lot of different places in old media not just broadcast licensees. So need to be careful to balance. Theres no balance here.
