I agree entirely. Additional funding for Amtrak through the intercity passenger rail reserve fund established in the resolution should only be permitted if reform legislation is enacted. In my role as chairman of the House Committee on the Budget I will categorically refuse to release funds from the reserve fund for Amtrak if authorizing legislation reforming Amtrak has not been enacted into law or if the additional funds are not made contingent upon the enactment of such reforms.
