                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 9, 2009

  Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the entire Virginia 
Congressional delegation, the people of the 10th District of Virginia, 
and everyone who uses Washington Dulles International Airport, I want 
to thank Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters for her efforts in 
giving final Federal approval to the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.
  The Department of Transportation signed off on the project committing 
some $900 million in Federal funds to this project, which has been 
discussed and in the planning stages for decades. It is gratifying to 
see this project become a reality and it would not have been possible 
without Secretary Peters's bold leadership, personal attention, and 
ability to recognize the critical need for congestion relief in the 
Dulles corridor.
