I do think that there can be new rules and regulations. And I think while we were at DOT, we promulgated some very strong rules and regulations regarding rail safety.
I would hope that we could find Members of Congress that wouldn't prohibit the Federal Government from funding high-speed rail projects.
The reason that California wants high-speed rail is because the Governor wanted it. A Republican Governor, Governor Schwarzenegger, started that program.
