The bus and bus facilities distribution table included in the statement of managers accompanying the conference report--House Report 104-785--directs funds to Hood River, OR, for buses. However, it has lately been brought to my attention that these funds can best be used for intermodal purposes. I ask my colleague if he will agree that the notation ``buses'' should be interpreted by the Federal Transit Administration to include an intermodal project at Hood River?
