| 摘要： | Washington, D.C.-A long-sought trillion-dollar bipartisan infrastructure deal cleared its first procedural hurdle in the Senate, where it still faces significant challenges before winning final approval. By a vote of 67 to 32, seven more than needed, senators began the legislative process to consider H.R. 3684, the House bill chosen to be used as the vehicle. A White House fact sheet stated the deal "invests $17 billion in port infrastructure." That is $1 billion more than the $16 billion announced for ports and waterways weeks ago, when the bipartisan group of senators and President Joe Biden first thought they had an agreement, only to see it delayed. Immediately after the successful vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schum-er (D-N.Y.) repeated the legislative approach he and House Speaker Nancy Pe-losi (D-Calif.) laid out previously. That calls for a two-track strategy to have both the bipartisan "brick-and-mor-tar" infrastructure bill and a much larger soft or human infrastructure measure passed by the Senate in July, before senators head home lor their traditional August break. |
