If, for example, as happened down in Texas, an MPO arbitrarily provides that a new MPO voting representative gets added any time a new city comes along and surpasses a population of 50,000, but is not providing a voting representative for every 50,000 residents in longstanding urban areas, would you agree that that does not constitute representation which is equal, proportional, or equitable, and that with the adoption of this amendment a change must be made to ensure equal representation? Mr. DeFAZIO. Absolutely, I concur with the gentleman.
