And ceo of the association of american railroads. Jim cb, commissioner of the southwest chief and Front Range Passenger Rail commission, and jennifer homendy, Member National Transportation Safety board. I continue to be a strong supporter of our real industry both freight and passenger. Rail service is safe and efficient. It also reduces congestion on our highways and spurs economic growth. In mississippi, for example, we have 26 Freight Railroads, 2,400 miles of track, five of the seven class ones, two longdistance amtrak routes, 10 stations, and more than 100,000 annual riders. Rail is vital to mississippi. I have been a tireless advocate for the restoration of the gulf coast Passenger Service, which was suspended in 2005 after hurricane katrina. With funding support from dot, amtrak, and the states, i am pleased to report that mississippi, louisiana, and alabama are likely once again to have this amtrak route and that will give mississippi a third amtrak route. Restoration of this

Minutes. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady from florida is recognized for two minutes. Ms. Brown thank you mr. Speaker. Here we go again passing another extension and failing in our duties to provide a world class Transportation System. Transportation program is much too critical to our economy to be delayed any longer. Unfortunately, the Republican Leadership in washington continues its long running failure to fund Surface Transportation Infrastructure programs. Just last week House Republicans passed a bill cutting taxes by 269 billion for the richest 1 of americans with no offset but failed to pass a real transportation authorization bill that put america to work. We know for every billion dollars we invest in transportation it generates 44,000 permanent jobs. In closing second anthony foxx said all of us have a role to play in shaping our secretary anthony foxx said all of us have a role to play in in shaping our nations infrastructure.

Year. The last longterm bill we passed with safetealu in 2005. That was 10 years ago and that bill was underfunded because of the resistance of raising the gasoline tax or identifying new revenue sources. For over a decade we have failed to address the funding challenges necessary to break the cycle of underinvestment and put this country back on a competitive path with the rest of the world. Today we spend about 1. 7 of g. D. P. On infrastructure while china spends 9 , europe 4. 5 to 5 . We used to spend 4. 5 to 5 also. There is a 800 million backlog. Public transit has an 6 billion backlog of critical maintenance and repair needs which increased by 2. 5 billion each year as bus and Rail Infrastructure ages. While infrastructure crumbles around us, we dont fill the gap in the Highway Trust Fund just to do a longterm bill at current levels. But this week they will put on the floor a tax extenders that will cost 182 billion over 10 years completely unpaid for. Im concerned that we will
