awe by know you take that train between, amtrak, between delaware and d.c. the time. >> well, wolf, as i took the amtrak train down here this morning, there was literally one passenger per car. there were only six passengers on an entire train. so i did take the precaution of wiping down with a clorox wipe every surface before i touched it, but i frankly felt fairly safe about that travel. and i do think an important part of this large stimulus bill we're going to take up is support for amtrak and for other commuter rail systems that have seen their ridership drop swiftly. wolf, we've been working hard all weekend. mostly on a bipartisan basis. i remind you. the last two bills that came through, the first one was $8 billion. the second $100 billion done quickly and in a positive spirit between the house and senate. this one's run into real speed bumps. we're supposed to take a proposal vote at 3:00, and most of us still haven't seen any language of the final bill. the piece of it i've worked hardest on is small business lending. that's actually done very wel

inadequacies in the budget, including a $374.5 million decrease for northeast corridor grants to amtrak. a $90 million decrease to capital investment grants. elimination of federal state partnership for state of good repair grants. no proposal to pay for crucial spending for roads, bridges, and transit, that comes from the highway trust fund. these decreases and eliminations would seriously jeopardize safety of the traveling public. these proposals are opposed by the american people and bipartisan majorities in both chambers. while this proposal is better than in previous years, the committee will continue prioritizing safety. as i mentioned during our meeting, i am very pleased that the department has made the portal north bridge eligible to advance toward funding. and i look forward to seeing that happen soon, and i thank you very much for your efforts. however, neglecting to advance the hudson tunnel project is a political decision that endagers the safety of travelers who pass through the tunnel every day. our current infrastructure is in such desperate need of repair, by preparing
