Excerpt from The Implications of Taking the Transportation Trust Funds Off-Budget: Hearing Before the Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, Hearing Held in Washington, DC, March 28, 1996 Chairman kasich. We are going to have Messrs. Shuster and Oberstar, and then we are going to have Messrs. Livingston, Wolf, and Coleman. Then we will have an economist go over this issue. Bud has got to be out of here at Mr. Sabo, and you and I could make opening statements, but I don't see it as constructive. So why don't we just go ahead at this point and let Mr. Shuster go ahead and give his testimony and answer some questions. I want to keep him on track. I want to thank Bud for being here this morning. I know how long he has been involved in this issue and how passionately he feels about it, and if there is anything I respect, it is passion. Thanks for being here, Bud, and I look forward to your testi mony. The floor is yours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
