        TRANSPORTATION AND VETERANS AFFAIRS APPROPRIATIONS BILLS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, today we will continue working on two 
appropriations measures that responsibly fund American priorities. The 
first will invest in our transportation infrastructure and fund 
economic development efforts. The second will support our veterans, 
servicemembers, and their families.
  These are good, bipartisan bills that prioritize funding for 
important programs. They are the result of the continuing leadership of 
Senators Collins and Kirk. I would encourage my colleagues to work 
together to continue moving these appropriations bills forward.
