Twenty-nine percent of Puerto Ricans have power, is the estimate. And this is definitely not something that I would rate as a 10-plus, as the President has rated our response.

Hopefully, we can learn from this and we can build in such a way that they will better serve their citizens in future events like this, which are becoming all too frequent.

let's not create a myth here, pursuing an ideological agenda which would both undermine national security, probably deprive the people of Puerto Rico of a good shipping service and other things.

This is the last definitive study on whether or not there are additional costs, and whether or not Puerto Rico would benefit from the loss of the Jones Act.

I hope, once and for all, to put to rest the idea that somehow the Jones Act is inhibiting the recovery of Puerto Rico.

I want to hear more about the infrastructure problems that are inhibiting the distribution, and what we can do about that in the short and the long term.

I am certain there is still tremendous displacement in southern Florida and Texas.

I am thrilled to hear that.

there is a really interesting new statistic, which is that the average toll rate per mile for a P3 toll road is $.30, and the average rate for a non-P3 toll road is $.14.

Transportation does not end at State lines. So we need the Federal investment, as the chairman said.

that is not a solution, and it is not even the major tool in the toolbox, and it can't be.

Actually, the Republicans took a very substantive step last week on transportation and infrastructure. They cut it $25 billion in their budget.

I think it points to the absolute essential need for us to have a robust, long-term spending stream.

almost every large P3 out there is substantially funded by the Federal Government.

if you look at America's broad infrastructure needs, P3s with the best facilitation through law can deal with somewhere between 10 and 12 percent of our infrastructure needs.

I think--and if you have ideas on this, some States have already gone up to the bar, taken the risk.

We can do this in a bipartisan way, but all we are doing is talking.

we have seen nothing concrete--not to make a bad pun--from this administration or the White House.

we are going to put up $200 billion, source unknown, of Federal money.

I was sad to see that the President basically proposed to kill Amtrak yet again.

It is interesting. I have been both to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and I didn't observe any discrepancy.

I would hope that you would ask for a very, very robust number, you know, and not--and, I think, Admiral Z has been getting more and more outspoken on this.

I have been critical of the Coast Guard in one respect on these issues, which is you are always too nice.

I understand the pressures you are--the Service has been under, and I am--always endeavor to support additional funding.

OK, excellent. OK. Well, thank you.
