Jean Schmidt: “I want to make sure that Amtrak is profitable in the future so that when I want to use it, it is there for me to use.”

I am concerned about what happened on September 11th, not for political reasons but for security reasons.

First off, my heart goes out to the families of those who lost their loved ones, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Officer Sean Smith, U.S. Security Officers Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.

I think we need to have a real honest explanation of what happened. First off, could this have been prevented, and secondly, how can we ensure that those that are in harm's way will never have this happen to them again.

I think it is incumbent on all of us to find ways to use those precious dollars in a very wise and judicious manner.
