U.S. Rep. Sam Graves (D-MO), ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, asked White House Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu for a full Committee briefing on the implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Graves said the briefing would provide congressional oversight; ensure the IIJA is being implemented according to Congress’ wishes; and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.
“While I am aware that your Task Force has engaged in various media events and outreach to governors and mayors, you have yet to fully engage all relevant Members of Congress on these matters,” Graves said in his request letter to Landrieu.
