The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“DULLES CORRIDOR METRORAIL PROJECT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E55 on Jan. 9, 2009.

DULLES CORRIDOR METRORAIL PROJECT
______
HON. FRANK R. WOLF
of virginia
in the house of representatives
Friday, January 9, 2009
Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the entire Virginia Congressional delegation, the people of the 10th District of Virginia, and everyone who uses Washington Dulles International Airport, I want to thank Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters for her efforts in giving final Federal approval to the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.
The Department of Transportation signed off on the project committing some $900 million in Federal funds to this project, which has been discussed and in the planning stages for decades. It is gratifying to see this project become a reality and it would not have been possible without Secretary Peters's bold leadership, personal attention, and ability to recognize the critical need for congestion relief in the Dulles corridor.
