WITNESS

HON. BOB LIVINGSTON, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF LOUISIANA

INTRODUCTION

Mr. WOLF [presiding]. Good morning. I want to welcome everyone to the first of eight hearings on the fiscal year 2000 budget request for the Department of Transportation and related agencies.

But before we start I would like to introduce the new members of the subcommittee. Once a group of 15 members; we now total 17. We will have several new faces with us, including the first woman to serve on the subcommittee.

There are so many of us in fact that it is going to be a little tight if everyone shows up to all the meetings.

First, I want to welcome the returning members of the committee. They include Mr. DeLay, Mr. Regula, Mr. Packard, Mr. Callahan, Mr. Tiahrt, Mr. Aderholt, Mr. Ölver, Mr. Pastor; and Mr. Sabo returns as the subcommittee is ranking minority member.

We have had a close working relationship over the past 2 years, and I know without doubt it will be the same for this Congress. If we worked well last Congress, I think we will work well here.

On the Republican side of the aisle, the subcommittee welcomes Ms. Kay Granger from Fort Worth, Texas. Congresswoman Granger over the past few years has worked closely with the subcommittee, particularly on the issue related to the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport which is located in her district. She joins us from the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

On the Democratic side of the aisle, we are pleased to welcome Ms. Carolyn Kilpatrick, Mr. José Serrano, and Mr. James Clyburn. Ms. Kilpatrick is from Detroit, Michigan and is a new member of the Committee on Appropriations. Her past experience as chairperson of the Appropriations Committee on Transportation in Michigan will certainly be a big help to all of us.
