On the recordJuly 31, 1996
I have very strong concerns that this requirement could result in indefinite delays in the project. Further, I understand Secretary Pena, Governor Wilson, and the Federal Transit Administration [FTA] share these same concerns. I understand it is not the chairman's intent with this report language to kill this project. Further, the chairman does not intend to impose any restrictions on the BART-SFO extension that have not previously been demanded of this and other transit projects seeking full funding grant agreements from the FTA. I have a July 30 letter from Secretary Pena stating that the language contained in the committee report could encourage lawsuits and further that he would prefer not to see this language included.
