The following is a transcript of an interview with Rep. French Hill, Republican of Arkansas, that aired on April 7, 2024.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And we go now to Arkansas and Republican Congressman French Hill, who joins us from Little Rock. Good morning to you, Congressman.REP.
Well, we had a serious collapse of the Interstate 40 bridge over the Mississippi River in Memphis and so I'm completely supportive of states working with the federal government to get the bridge back up and open as soon as possible. Naturally, there's a role for insurance, private settlement with the companies and parties responsible. And then the traditional federal-state split for infrastructure program.
Margaret, I believe that speaker Johnson will bring up support for the supplemental appropriations for Ukraine, for Taiwan, for Israel immediately after completing the work on FISA and FISA's extension. That deadline of April 19 makes it a priority for the first few days that we're back. But Ukraine remains a priority, as does our support for Israel, and Taiwan. And yes, I believe he's fully committed to bringing it up to the floor immediately thereafter.
