Quote of the Day

"The U.S. economy expanded at a faster clip than initially forecast in the third quarter, helped by more robust consumer spending and by stronger exports. The economy grew at a 2.5% annualized pace in the quarter, revised up from the initial estimate of 2.0%, the government said in its second estimate of quarterly gross domestic product. GDP growth was 1.7% during the second quarter.”

COSTELLO WILL NOT PURSUE RANKING MEMBERSHIP OF THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON – Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) issued the following statement today regarding his intention not to pursue the ranking membership of the Science and Technology Committee in the 112th Congress:

“After much consideration, I have decided not to pursue the ranking member position on the House Science and Technology Committee during the 112th Congress. I am deeply committed to my work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and there is a great deal of important legislation to address next year, including possibly the FAA Reauthorization bill, a new highway bill, and the Water Resources Development Act. I want to maintain my focus on these issues in which I have invested so much time and attention, and which should be a major part of our continued efforts to improve the economy.”
