I also ask this question to my friend. The Senator is aware that my legislation--after 9/11, other things got in the way and nothing happened with that. Is the Senator aware that the Banking Committee, which does mass transit--they have agreed on a mass transit bill. Is the Senator also aware that the Finance Committee has agreed-- in fact, they have probably done that by now because they were meeting this afternoon--to make sure that bill is funded properly, as is our highway bill? Is the Senator aware that that has taken place?
