To me. as chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. recognizing that the entire highway bill is endingthe entire highway program is ending on May 31to take up this bill without taking care of that is absurd. To take up this bill before raising the minimum wage is ridiculous. To take up this bill before we make sure we have comprehensive immigration reform so workers can come out of the shadows is just the height of insanity. To take up this bill before we have taken up the ExIm Bank. as I know my friend from Washington has explained. is absurd. We have deals that are pending with our small businesses through the ExIm Bank.
