I would be pleased to do so, as I know of the considerable interest of the Senator from Alaska in continuing to see to it that the Alaska Railroad remains one of the premier transportation systems for Alaska. The adoption of amendment No. 1444 authorizes any State that does not have Amtrak service as of the legislation's enactment date, to use the mass transit account of the highway trust fund for capital improvements to, and operating support for, intercity passenger rail service. This means that congestion, mitigation, and air quality funds, as well as Surface Transportation Program funds will be eligible for the State of Alaska to use for its State railroad.
