House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) says he’s planning to reach a final agreement with the Senate on a multi-year highway-transit bill by Nov. 30, the day Congress returns from its Thanksgiving break. But he acknowledges that meeting that deadline will be a challenge.
At the Nov. 18 first meeting of the House-Senate conference committee charged with working out differences between the measures that each chamber approved earlier, lawmakers said they were making progress.
