We have seen these investments improve service. We have seen these investments improve on-time service to the point where now Amtrak is at an all-time ridership high.

I think 110 is pretty fast.

The high speed rail in four years, we have invested $12 billion. That's just the federal money.

In some parts of the country, we are going to have trains going 200 miles an hour.

This has been an extraordinary four years for high-speed rail.

Well, I think people like the investments we're making. There's so much enthusiasm in America for high-speed rail.

In some parts of the country, we're going to have trains going 200 miles an hour.

They need to come to the table with a proposal.

It will move more goods more efficiently. It's going to create jobs for the economy up in Vermont, and it did increase speeds just a little bit.

It's going to move goods more efficiently; it's going to create jobs for the economy up in Vermont.

We are not going to get $1 as long as there is language in the appropriation bills that says no Federal money can be spent on California high-speed rail.

I would hope that we could find Members of Congress that wouldn't prohibit the Federal Government from funding high-speed rail projects.

The U.S. Government remains strongly opposed, on both legal and policy grounds, to the imposition of EU ETS on U.S. airlines.

We think this is a very lousy, bad policy that they should not be doing.

I can tell you, this is something that I care a lot about, and we will continue to talk about it within the administration.

This administration takes a back seat to no one when it comes to environmental issues, emissions issues.

I particularly would like to recognize the leadership of both Senator Thune and McCaskill.

We strongly urge the EU to cease application of ETS to international aviation in order to help accelerate our efforts to forge a global solution on aviation emissions.

The answer is definitely yes, we're moving in the right direction.

The idea that one government establishes a tax and says the hell with everybody else is not right.

Nobody has been bolder, nobody has been more frank, than Ray LaHood representing this administration.

We remain strongly opposed, on both legal and policy grounds, to the imposition of ETS on U.S. and other non-EU airlines.

That's a good place to start, not by one government saying, OK, we're going to tax you all.

A year ago, I asked pipeline operators to take a hard look at their infrastructure and identify those sections of pipeline that need to be repaired, rehabilitated or replaced to ensure safer and more reliable delivery of energy resources.

We are committed to this project.
