"For the sake of the air traveling public, this is a time for reason and compromise, not objection."

"I am a strong supporter of a national network for intercity passenger rail service, and believe high-speed rail service can be competitive with highway and air travel along densely populated corridors..."

"I am a strong supporter of having high-speed rail in Texas."

"I am also a strong supporter of a better balance at the STB between the needs of the freight railroads and their customers."
