The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly supports the transportation infrastructure reauthorization legislation that the House has begun to consider. This package of bills, H.R. 7, H.R. 3408 and H.R. 3813, would reinvest in domestic transportation infrastructure, and would help enhance U.S. energy policy by expanding domestic energy production; long term revenues from increased exploration would help ensure long term transportation funding. The Chamber urges you to strongly support this legislation, and urges you to oppose any amendments that would weaken it.

The organizations listed below share a common belief that affordable and reliable electricity is critical to our economic growth and job creation. We also share a deep concern that the Utility MACT rule, due to be issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on December 16, 2011 could cause significant electricity reliability constraints that would have a ripple effect through our fragile economy, hurting businesses of all sizes. We urge you, as President, to provide the leadership necessary to ensure that electric reliability risks of the final rule can be managed effectively.
