I think Senator D'Amato has certainly showed his statesmanship this morning in recognition of the transit needs of the more rapidly growing regions of this Nation, much of which is occurring in the Western United States as well as in the Southern States. States like Colorado are experiencing extraordinary growth, and our citizens are certainly anxious to have a fair return on transit dollars. As the chairman knows, Senator Grams and I have filed and discussed an amendment that addresses new dollars that will flow into the New Starts and Fixed Guideway Modernization Programs. I now submit the revised language and urge its acceptance. I thank again Chairman D'Amato for his willingness to ensure high-growth areas that are experiencing problems of congestion and air quality nonattainment shall be recipients of Federal dollars for New Start projects.
