on that system, and while it may often be out of sight and out of
mind, just let one of those gates on the lock and dam fail. You'll
see an immediate influx of tractor-trailer rigs out on the interstate,
putting more people's safety at risk and adding to the wear and tear
of the infrastructure. Everybody in our country depends on our
infrastructure system.
ACEC: Do you think Congress will take up a single
infrastructure bill that covers a variety of infrastructure
needs such as water, transportation and communications, or do you think it will be more segmented?
Also, will the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA)
be included?
Westerman: As it stands now the goal is for a broad infrastruc-

ture plan. Whether WRDA will be included is still being decided.
There are so many negotiations that have yet to take place. Most
importantly, we need to figure out how to pay for it. I think highspeed broadband will also be in the plan, plus a lot of innovative
ways to fund infrastructure. The key comes back to how much can
we afford.

ACEC: As you know, Congress in late December cleared
the first major tax reform bill in over 30 years. From
your perspective, how will the new tax law help the
economy and job growth going forward?
Westerman: I think we're already seeing an impact from the new

tax law. We're seeing millions of employees getting bonuses from
their employers as a result of the tax bill. We're seeing companies
talk about billions of dollars of investment, and I believe that's
only going to grow. The problem I see is that the economy will be
growing so well that we'll need to do a better job of training people
to fill any new jobs. We have 24 million able-bodied, working-age
adults sitting on the sideline right now. We need to use federal

policy to motivate them even more to enter the job market. Having good jobs and a demand for labor is a key part of sustaining
that economic growth. ■
