Is it your impression that what the gentleman is saying is that they can't take highway trust fund money and put it into high- speed rail and that they can't take transit dollars and put it into high-speed rail? It would be my understanding, since there is no money in the bill for high-speed rail, that he is talking about other pots of money that would go to California and about just trying to wall that off from being used. That's my understanding. Maybe the gentleman has a different interpretation.
