We are delighted to have all of you, participants from fifty states and five U.S. territories, with us for today’s conversation, which is on the record.

We’re delighted to have with us today Ms. Crebo-Rediker and Coordinator Landrieu to talk about infrastructure in the conversation coming. We have shared their bios with you, so I will just give you a few highlights.
