  I would also like to take this opportunity to clarify my vote on

  On H.R. 4923 I would have voted for the bill despite concerns about 
the increase in funding for fossil fuel research at the expense of 
decreases in funding for renewable energy technologies. Furthermore, I 
was concerned by a

policy rider that would prevent the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers 
from moving forward with rulemaking to clarify the definition of Waters 
of the U.S. under the Clean Water Act.
  On H.R. 5021 I voted yes because it is critically important that we 
keep our Highway Trust Fund solvent and transportation projects moving 
forward. However, I am frustrated that we have not yet been able to 
achieve a longer-term fix for the Highway Trust Fund. In crafting a new 
highway reauthorization I urge my colleagues to work on a bipartisan 
basis to ensure a reliable, dedicated funding source for our highway 
projects.
