The current bill contains a provision in which the result is a reallocation of certain funds that were appropriated for what is called Corridor One in central Pennsylvania, a very vital item in the revitalization of mass transit transportation and economic development. We want to try to reconstitute this reallocation and allow the stream of funding to continue, and we would urge the chairman, and I will yield to him for a colloquy on this. I would ask him to work with us, staff-to-staff and Member to Member, so that we can try to refashion the appropriation and restore what has been reallocated.
