Oberstar and DeFazio Send “Dear Colleague” Letter Regarding Highway Trust Fund
House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) and House T&I Subcommittee Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) sent a letter to their congressional colleagues on March 18, 2009, expressing their grave concern over the projected status of the Highway Trust Fund. In their opinions, if the Trust Fund situation is not addressed in an adequate fashion, then the Fund will only be able to support approximately $20.5 billion in Fiscal Year 2010, which is one-half the amount of that which is being invested this year.
