John W. Olver: “I, again, agree with the urgency of the issue that has come up in…”

On the recordSeptember 15, 2004

I, again, agree with the urgency of the issue that has come up in terrorism, and I think it does appropriately ask for collaboration. I hope that the gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Istook), within that context, that the gentleman and I might be able to work together as this subcommittee goes to conference since, probably, the Subcommittee on Homeland Security will be part of the same overall omnibus conference in that process and to make certain that rail somehow is not left out and that the security on rail is to our liking as well.

How does that guarantee that California's gas tax moneys will not be used for high-speed rail?
