the second point on coal ash, we have a coal fired ferry that goes from manitowoc, wisconsin, to lake michigan and dumps 500 tons of coal ash each other. if you would like this coal ash, please tell us the lake we can send them to. >> thank you senator. now we go to representative hall for five minutes. >> turn on your mike. >> i'm on the science and technology committee, i'm not sure i know how to do that. but for my long time friendship with senator derbin, i would have taken four minutes and given him four minutes, but that didn't happen. we need to leave the acrimony to other bills and get together on this transportation bill. it's that important. i want to thank chairman micah for his leadership in this conference to ensure that hard workering taxpayers dollars are being used more effectively. the house committee on science space and technology, i think it's crucial that -- enhancing safety, reducing congestion and improving -- i introduce legislation to achieve these goals for surface transportation research programs. the goals and tasks before us must avoid -- more competition
