Committee Passes Legislation to Advance Green Transportation Research, Fire Safety and Border Security

Committee Chairman Bart Gordon (D-TN) led the markup on H.R. 5161, the Green Transportation Infrastructure Research and Technology Transfer Act; H.R. 4847, the United States Fire Administration Reauthorization Act of 2008; and H.R. 3916, a bill to provide for the next generation of border and maritime security technologies.

"These three bills deal with public safety, improving the environment and border security - addressing some of the nation's most pressing issues," said Gordon. "I strongly support each of these bills, and look forward to working with my colleagues on the Committee to advance this important legislation in the House."
