On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), I write to express our strong support for Adam Telle to be Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works. Mr. Telle knows firsthand how the work of the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) will impact the lives of people in the United States and worldwide. His decades of public service have demonstrated a strong commitment to the safety, security and prosperity of the many Americans who benefit from the ports, waterways and flood control infrastructure maintained by the Corps across our nation.

Recent congressional support for roads, bridges and public transportation systems has helped deliver much-needed projects to every congressional district across the country. These improvements have enhanced safety, mobility and efficiency nationwide. These outcomes are made possible by the continuity and predictability of funding supported by a healthy Highway Trust Fund (HTF).
