Oberstar Applauds Pres Jobs Plan

Congressman Jim Oberstar approves of President Obama's plan to develop new jobs by fixing the nation's roads and bridges.

The chairman of the powerful House Transportation committee says he is pleased that the President shares the Committee’s objectives of restoring our surface and air transportation systems to a state of good repair, increasing energy efficiency, and relieving the road and rail congestion that is crippling our economy.

Oberstar says the principles outlined by the President are consistent with those put forward by the Committee in the Blueprint for Investment and Reform and the Surface Transportation Authorization Act.
