Patrick Moynihan: “The Maglev Deployment Program in the ISTEA reauthorization legislation contains contract authority of $60 million for…”

On the recordJuly 8, 1998
The Maglev Deployment Program in the ISTEA reauthorization legislation contains contract authority of $60 million for pre-construction activities including investment analyses, environmental impact statements and other corridor development activities. The program then provides authorization of $950 million for construction of a project. I wish to ask the chairman to confirm my understanding that these pre-construction activities are to be funded in the same fashion as other transportation programs, that is to say, with an 80 percent Federal match. The Federal role in the actual construction program, however, is limited to not more than a two-thirds match. Is that also the chairman's understanding?

May I simply thank my revered friend. We have been together, even across the aisle, for a near quarter century. There is no one whose regard I greater value and whose remarks I could not be more moved by.

I dare not ask a World War II pilot veteran to lift this or the rules on ergonomics might be contradicted. But I congratulate you, sir.
