"The general conclusion is that the railroad industry retirement system has an acute short-term financial problem as well as long-term financial problems."

"Resolution of the system's financial problems is a serious, pressing concern for rail workers, the rail industry, and the million rail pension beneficiaries."

"A financially sound rail industry pension is vital to the one million annuitants now receiving benefits."

"I and the Democratic Party are better qualified to run this Nation the next 4 years."
