a multiyear transportation reauthorization bill, and due to constant pressure from the senate, as was noticed with last week's markup by the house transportation and infrastructure committee, we can actually see the path to getting a bill done with our house colleagues, and the fact that the short-term extension before the senate sets a november 20 deadline, along with the house planning to take up a multiyear transportation bill next week, indicates that it is, in fact, possible to soon get a multiyear transportation bill across the finish line. and i would say, mr. president, nobody should misinterpretty my work, my efforts with my colleagues here in the senate in addressing the harms associated with failing to fix the looming positive training control deadline. as a major part of the overall drive act, the transportation bill that passed the senate, legislative text that originated from the senate commerce committee and i will not be backing down in my efforts to see a host of transportation safety freight and rail provisions signed into law in the coming weeks. together we have averted the potential harm that would come with a congressionally caused rail shutdown. we

the floor of the senate the environment and public works six-year transportation bill, coauthored by senator inhofe and senator boxer, republican and democrat, reported out of the committee unanimously. most people think we fight about everything here. well, we don't. and in environment and public works, senators inhofe and boxer have been very good at working together on these authorization bills. the authorization bill does not contain the funding, but it says these are our transportation policies and this is a level we think is appropriate but doesn't actually fund a dollar to go to those appropriations. over in the house of representatives today, they got in the act and the house, as i understand it, the house transportation committee has reported out -- i think on a voice vote -- reported out on a voice vote their own six-year authorization bill. so this is good. this is progress. it hasn't passed the house yet but at least it is out of committee with parntsly a full amount of -- parntsl apparentlyl amount of support. the senate-passed bill, called the drive act, passed the senate here recently, this is a bill that -- just like names for ca cars, the drive act surfa

transportation infrastructure across the country. and in the senate, i sat on the environment and public works committee last congress and was privileged to serve as chair of the senate subcommittee on transportation and infrastructure. so i thought a fair amount about these issues. i believe that we have for years -- you think about the way we pay for roads, highways, bridges, transit. what was used for years is a user pay system. the people, the businesses that use our roads, highways, bridges and transit system, we pay for them. we pay for them. and in some places we sort of have gotten away from that, and there's an unwillingness to ask people to pay for what they want to use. everybody wants to have better transportation system, and we're asked to pay for that. when i was governor of delaware i asked for modest increases, just a couple of cents on the fee for gas and diesel tax. not a whole lot was raised, but we cobbled together money from other user fees and were able to fund, transportation funding. here in the nation we have -- we have had for a number of years a transportation trust fund. most of the money for that transporta

the commerce committee has been working on a surface transportation board reform bill to provide more transparency in the rail industry and reform rail rates. senator thune says he hopes the changes will help avoid another melt down like 2014. sorghum harvest reached the half-way mark. usda's crop progress report shows it hit 51percent this week. that's seven points ahead of average. kansas leads the nation in planted acres with three-point-three-million acres. nearly 40percent is cut, running ahead of average. texas is second in acreage with harvested. both of those states saw big jumps in acreage this year. texas added 850-thousand acres from last year. strong demand -especially from china encouraged farmers to plant more sorghum. u-s sorghum growers are on pace to harvest one of the biggest sorghum crops in about a decade. and growers in the texas panhandle had good growing conditions right out of the chute. we head excellent moisture and got off to a great start. rains kept coming all the way to the first of august, then they turned off. dry the rest of august and september. record heat in september taht we hadn't had all summer. got into 100's

committees of jurisdiction, the senate has acted. the committee of jurisdiction in the house is working on a transportation bill. we hope it is something that will meet the needs of the american people and not make matters worse because it's too meager, but be bold enough and fiscally sound enough to take us toward creating jobs and promoting commerce and doing all the things a transportation infrastructure bill is designed to do. full faith and credit of the united states, we want to remove all doubt. just the thought of it before lowered our credit rating. we can't go to that place again. and win the omnibus, the committees of jurisdiction are working on the actual dollar amount we will have once we know what the pay-forwards are and a discussion of know surprise when it -- no surprises when it comes to policy and moves they want to put in the bill, any riders. so everybody is working in their own piece of it. and hopefully all of this will meet the deadline. hopefully the republicans will come to terms as to who their recommendation will be for speaker, but that's really up to them. >> let me just reiterate w

committee where i serve, reported out unanimously authorizing legislation that would authorize investments in transportation systems, roads, highways, bridges and transit for the next six years -- actually very smart legislation. i give senator boxer, senator inhofe, the lead democrat, lead republican on the committee, a lot of credit for leading that effort. over in the house of representatives, they're coming up with a six-year transportation authorization plan that reflects in many ways what we've done in the senate. to the extent that that's the case, we applaud their efforts as well. some of you may remember another poster i showed earlier this week or last week, and it was a photograph, a large photograph of a fellow wearing a cowboy hat, kind of like he was asleep on his back. the cowboy hat was covering his face. he didn't look like the marlboro man. he looked like a cowboy who had ridden hard. but the caption at the bottom of the poster, that picture of that guy was talking about the hat, all hat, no cattle. suggesting that that guy wasn't a real cowboy. all hat, no cattle. it's great that we have sound, smart transportation authorization legislation -- and we do. what's really disappointing is all hat and no cattle

senate is in a quorum call. mrs. fischer: i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. fischer: thank you, madam president. last friday, the house transportation and infrastructure committee released a bipartisan six-year highway bill proposal. if everything goes as expected, the house transportation committee will mark up its legislation this week. from what i understand, house leadership is committed to taking up this crucial legislation in the coming weeks. as many of you know, passing a long-term transportation bill has been one of my goals as a member of this body. in fact, since my time in the nebraska unicameral, i've made transportation infrastructure funding a top priority. two of my signature accomplishments in the unicameral led to increased investment for nebraska's infrastructure and helped local communities move forward with starting and completing vital transportation projects. this august, i welcomed our united states transportation secretary anthony fox to lincoln, nebraska, and we had convened a roundtable at the university of nebraska lincoln's transportation research center. we were joined by local transportation stakeholders representing railroad, hig
