I thank you very much for accepting the amendment. I think it will be helpful to us here. Much of my concern about this issue arose from the fact that in our area, my hometown of Austin, an effort was made to require in transportation planning that we measure greenhouse gas emissions and that we consider that. It was rejected, and it is not representative of the feelings of people in the central Texas area. I appreciate not only your endorsing amendment No. 25, which can bring about important changes, but also incorporating in the base bill the Green Transportation Act which we worked on with your staff to ensure that greenhouse gas emissions are measured, evaluated, and considered in transportation planning. {time} 2015
