Our third nominee, Mr. Roberti, is ready to manage PHMSA, which oversees transport of hazardous materials. This includes the movement of oil, natural gas and other critical American energy products. Over 3 million miles of pipeline in this country. That's in addition to hazardous materials that we move by truck, rail, water or air. I am hopeful that Ranking member Cantwell and I can broker an agreement on an overdue PHMSA reauthorization that can be implemented by the new PHMS administrator. (02:33–02:37)
