Foxx urges advocates to lobby Congress on new White House funding plan

摘要

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx urged members of a rail travel advocacy group yesterday to get behind the Obama administration's newly unveiled transportation bill at the start of what is likely to be a contentious campaign to turn legislation into law. "I need your help convincing Congress not to do the bare minimum this time," Foxx told a roomful of members of the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP) gathered for an evening reception on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers, he added, "need to hear from you."
