House Committee Votes to Add At Least $4.4 Billion for Highways
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has approved a bill that would restore a minimum of $4.4 billion in fiscal 2003 highway aid that President Bush proposed cutting in his budget proposal. But since then, administration officials have endorsed adding back that money.
In an April 26 video message to the Associated General Contractors, Bush himself referred to the agreement on additional highway aid among his administration and House transportation and budget committee leaders.
