[Excerpt] On behalf of the AFL-CIO. I write in strong support of H.R. 4348, a bill to extend the surface transportation law until September 30, 2012. Time is running out to reauthorize the massive transportation infrastructure bill, which is currently operating on its ninth extension. Any further delay will render state and local governments unable to plan for the remainder of the construction season, putting tens of thousands of jobs at risk.

[Excerpt] On behalf of the AFL-C10. I am writing to urge you to vote against the Interest Rate Reduction Act (H.R. 4628), which would eliminate the Prevent and Public Health Fund in order to offset the cost of capping student loan costs, and instead support an alternative that would cap the interest rate on needs-based student loans at 3.4% without slashing important disease prevention programs.
