the committee as to what the consequences of a continuing resolution would be for the department of transportation. secretary buttigieg: thank you for the question. we share that bipartisan view. a full year continuing resolution has a number of negative impacts on our department's ability to do our work. one, no additional funding to support increased air traffic control hiring, something we proposed in the 24 budget which is important to have the right level of certified controllers and prevent staffing issues contributing to delays. there could be delays in modernizing technology including systems like the system that caused problems. over $1.7 billion in authorized transportation grant funding supporting infrastructure projects and safety initiatives would not be available to the states. and we would see increased pressure on our operational and administrative funding across the board because you have those inflationary issues and pay increases. it would cause a lot of concern and frustrate us in our mission. mr. cole: as you know, many of the large discretionary grant programs through the dep
