Funding and continuation, as I mentioned, of the TIGER program is absolutely instrumental in advancing rail projects in the Northeast Corridor (NEC).

I am also encouraged by the great progress you are making with New York and New Jersey on the Gateway Tunnel project.

I am hopeful that we will continue to work on that this year.
