All States that want to step into the 21st century with high-speed rail are going to need more Federal support to do it.

I want to really commend Chair Payne for choosing to focus on this important issue.

We've really starved investment in passenger rail capacity while lavishing generous Federal matches on highway funding.

I think it is important that we do that with an eye toward the 21st century, making sure we 'build back better.'
