Washington, DC 20510
I write in support of S. 1926, your bill to establish the National Infrastructure Bank to provide funding for qualified infrastructure projects throughout the United States.
Your bill, which provides for the creation of a new and robust financing model for US infrastructure, is critical to the future of the United States for the following reasons:
1. Your bill will make the resources available for a necessary tripling of US infrastructure investment (from the currently level of roughly $150 billion to nearly $500 billion/annually) creating not only jobs and opportunities for small business owners, but creating a new competitiveness capacity for all of our citizens at a time of rapid globalization;
2. S. 1926 will create a new and powerful channel for our citizens to invest in the US future bonds that support the National Infrastructure Bank can be purchased by pension and other funds, and even middle class investors, who will be able to make sound investments in the future or our country;
3. Your bill is critical to our future prosperity not only because it creates the infrastructure necessary for high productivity, efficient operation and consistent creativity, but also because it will allow great US infrastructure firms to fully participate in the $1.5 trillion global infrastructure marketplace by designing and building those projects, and by pulling through cutting edge US equipment and technology, thus redefining our leadership in catalyzing progress throughout the globe.
Please know that you can count on my support for S. 1926, and let me know what we can do to ensure that your bill becomes law as soon as possible, and that the subsequent National Infrastructure Bank create the infrastructure
required to secure a great future for the next generation.

We are potential suppliers for raw materials and proprietary technologies that can be used in the re-building of America's infrastructure.

As I travel the nation and speak with transportation and water officials I see how dire our government officials are in meeting the infrastructure demands of the nation. We need to rebuild and utilize technology to enhance our network of infrasturture and to also use the skills of people who need jobs.

We are engaged in the Maritime Administration's American Marine Highway Program. The program is promoting short sea shipping on our nation's coastal waters and inland waterways. An alternative but complimentary mode to truck and rail, short sea shipping mitigates congestion on our highways and cities. It is a safe and clean way to transport freight. It is estimated that the costs to build a mile of highway is about $30M. 75% of the population in the United States live on the coast or rivers. There are no stoplights or potholes on our oceans/rivers.

This issue is important to me as a maritime executive. When terminal operators envision building port infrastructure we often realize that the inland infrastructure of roads, bridges, rail, tunnels and other facilities are inadequate to meet future demand. Further, current taxation and regulation has prevented short-sea shipping from becoming an economic reality that would de-congest our highways and provide pollution relief from some of our most congested cities.

The locks and dams of our country's inland waterways are in desperate need of modernization in order to allow the towboat and barge industry to continue to provide to shippers and consumers the most cost efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transporting all categories of goods and cargo. The National Infrastructure Bank should be an effective means to provide financing for projects in futherance of this.

It is the time to renew the base in which the American economy will grow - it is the time to have a serious and long term governmental commitment on infrastructure - now it is the time for this generation to make the change America needs in its roads, bridges, oil & gas, renewable energy, water and wastewater, ports, etc.

Without massive infrastructure investment, the US economy will have a slow, indeterminate recovery. We need to invest $300 billion/ year in order to get this economy running again.

Unregulated markets leads to privatizing for profits and socializing of losses. These practices need to be stopped for the benefit of the nation as a whole, not just the top 1% of income earners.

It's time to turn our attention to the public good, especially after seeing the utter failure of unrestricted hyper-individualist capitalism.

It is time to renew the great infrastructure investment made during the post-war expansion period, and provide the means to creat the right kind of growth and kick start the economy.
