Baby steps, and this is one of them.
And it's a long way away from being passed.

It still has to go the full house for approval. Then the Senate must pass the bill and finally we've got to get President Bush to sign the bill. So there is a very tough battle still ahead. However at least it's a start and this time it's coming from the House which last year wanted to low-ball the Amtrak funding.
 
Alan said what I would have said...the House committee is one of the first steps and I'm very willing to bet that it will be slashed by the time final funding levels are approved (as much as I don't want to say that).

I hope this go through! And Mr. Bush signs it! I think it will come through! :) :) :)
If Bush were smart, he'd sign it. I guess this means we should all worry a little. :lol:
