Smith, Chairman and CEO of FedEx Corporation, told members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee at a hearing today on Building a 21st Century Infrastructure for America. Mr. Smith addressed topics of great importance to FedEx, including support of NextGen, improving the interstate road system, and the use of 33 foot trailers.
