There are no funds made available in this Act for high-speed rail. None. And so, since this is a 1-year bill, I don't think this amendment does very much. The gentleman from California has a problem with a process that has been going on now for at least a decade in the development of a high- speed rail process program, and the people of California have spoken on this by referendum. They have passed the bond bill by referendum. I think bond bills usually take an extraordinary vote, two-thirds vote or something like that. Am I correct? Would the gentleman from California confirm that it was a two-thirds vote by which the referendum was passed? I yield to the gentleman.
