Thank you sir. Thank you for yielding. I would agree that the President can come up with more money if he feels that he wants to transfer more stimulus dollars, or we may have another vote, depending on another allocation or appropriation that may want to spend money on high-speed rail. This amendment says that our gas tax dollars will go back to California to be used for our highways and roads. That's all this amendment does. That's all I intend to do is to make sure that the Governor of California does not take money out of the block grant from the Federal Government that goes into the STF fund to use it for other things such as high-speed rail. The Governor has to use the money where this Federal Government intends it to be used, very simple.
