Sen. Patty Murray’s Comments on Amtrak

The following is taken from U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s Weekly Report to the People of Washington, March 5, 2007:

Last Tuesday, I chaired a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development to discuss the President's Fiscal Year 2008 budget request for Amtrak. At the hearing we discussed Amtrak's successes, some needed reforms, and what can be done to keep Amtrak alive for the growing number of Americans who depend on it.
