WASHINGTON, D.C. – Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) senior vice president of government and industry relations Kip Eideberg issued the following statement in response to the agreed upon infrastructure framework released by a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators informally known as the “G21”:

“Equipment manufacturers applaud the steadfast leadership provided by President Biden, the G21 group of senators, and others closely involved in crafting the current bipartisan infrastructure framework. The Association of Equipment Manufacturers and the 2.8 million men and women of this industry have long called for a transformative investment in our nation’s physical infrastructure so they can continue to build, feed, and power the world, and are pleased to see such important progress being announced today. However, the job is not done. Despite what skeptics say, we can and must get this deal all the way across the finish line in a bipartisan manner. Equipment manufacturers urge lawmakers, staff, stakeholders, and the American public to remain positive and focused on getting this generational bill passed and signed into law. “
