On the recordJune 30, 2021
To the gentleman on the right, I would like to use a great quote from somebody who all of you loved over there: ``There you go again.'' Madam Speaker, as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, I rise today in opposition to the amendments offered en bloc, including the one offered by Mr. Perry that would prohibit expansion of Amtrak service. I strongly oppose the prohibition which would prevent Amtrak from expanding their network across the country. Allowing Amtrak to expand the national network will connect communities that have previously been isolated and create new economic opportunities. It is vital that we add new service to underserved cities and not just maintain the status quo. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendments offered en bloc.
