(GERTLER):
"WE'RE ENCOURAGED THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA CONTINUES TO SUPPORT
HIGH-SPEED RAIL IN AMERICA--ENVISIONING THAT, IN 20 YEARS, 80-PERCENT OF
THE NATION WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED RAIL. FROM A
BUSINESS-PERSPECTIVE, INVESTING IN HIGH-SPEED RAIL IS ONE OF THE BEST
FINANCIAL-MOVES THAT OUR NATION CAN MAKE. HIGH-SPEED RAIL
GENERATES MULTIPLE, POSITIVE ECONOMIC-OUTCOMES: IT SPURS
JOB-CREATION, PROMOTES ECONOMIC-VITALITY, AND ENHANCES QUALITY-OF-LIFE.
PLUS, PEOPLE LIKE IT. SO, WHAT'S NEEDED NOW IS A DEDICATED
FUNDING-SOURCE--AND A SUCCESSFUL FIRST-STEP: A COMPLETED HIGH-SPEED-RAIL
PROJECT ON AMERICAN SOIL. WHETHER THAT PROJECT IS IN CALIFORNIA,
FLORIDA, OR ANY OTHER STATE, IT WILL SERVE AS AN INSPIRING NEW CHAPTER
IN OUR NATION'S TRANSPORTATION-HISTORY."
