higgins: mr. speaker, last month the president and c.e.o. of fedex freight spoke to the transportation league. he warned that our nation's roads, highways and bridges weren't equipped to handle future needs. the american society of civil engineers reports there are 69,000 structurally deficient bridges in this country, meaning that every second of every day seven cars drive on a bridge that is structurally deficient. and $3.6 trillion will be needed by 2020 to address our aging infrastructure. despite this, the most recent transportation bill passed by congress spends a pathetically weak $52 billion a year on infrastructure. companies like fedex understand the long-term benefits of efficient transportation of people and goods. the u.s. chamber of commerce estimates that we will experience $336 billion in lost growth over the next five years due to inadequate infrastructure. i urge my colleagues to understand the robust infrastructure investment not only creates jobs but promotes pro-business policies that sustain and produce economic growth.

higgins: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the new market tax credit program which is set to expire at the end of this year. this program is proving critical toward making successful investments in communities like my own in western new york. in the city of buffalo, new market investments have leveraged over $180 million for projects, including restoration of the historic electric tower and the development of the innovation center at the buffalo-niagara medical campus. thanks to funding, construction is currently under way at roswell park cancer institute's new clinical science center. mr. speaker, at a time when our economy is recovering from collapse, support for programs that yield economic development and job creation is more critical than ever. i've joined my colleagues in seeking a permanent extension of this program and encourage our other colleagues to join us in the same pursuit. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does
