to quickly give you a status update on the federal legislative program and i will introduce juanita martinez to speak to the state legislative program. since the last finance committee meeting, the president signed a 90-day extension of the service transportation program. no changes from current law. it extends the bill through june 30, 2012. june 30 is likely the last date prior to the november elections that congress can realistically complete a multi-year bill. , we bump up against the summer recess and follow -- following that, we bump up against the summer recess. then congress returns from recess which goes until april 16 and the senate has already passed maps 21 which with a two- year bill and now it's more like a 15-month bill to take the transportation program to the end of fiscal year 13 and the house has yet to pass a bill and will be in deliberations as soon as that returns from recess. with that, i will turn the podium over to juanita who can talk about the bills we are recommending support for in this current rocket which begins on page 13 on the legislative matrix. >> sorry fo
