DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from S. 839, the High-Speed Rail Development Act of 1993, and Current Initiatives in High-Speed Ground Transportation: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Surface Transportation of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session May 20, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 1 p.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. J. James Exon (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Donald M. Itzkoff, staff counsel; and Gerri Lynn Hall, minority senior professional staff member. Opening Statement of Senator Exon Senator Exon. The subcommittee will please come to order. This afternoon, the Surface Transportation Subcommittee will consider the Clinton administration's high-speed rail plan, S. 839, which Senators Hollings, Lautenberg, and I have introduced at the administration's request, and certainly in addition to that, the ongoing matter of efforts to develop this promising new transportation mode. As I said in my recent remarks in introducing the President's bill, this train has long been waiting. It has been a long time in coming, and as chairman of this subcommittee I have fought long and hard to preserve a vital role for Amtrak and to focus our attention on the potential benefits to the Nation of the high-speed rail and maglev. Now that we have a President and an administration with real vision for the future we can turn to the difficult task of laying the American groundwork for renewed American transportation infrastructure and high-speed rail trains of the future. I note with great interest a recent article that I read. On the front page of the magazine was the electric experiment. It says down here, "Popular Electrical News Illustrated," and a picture of a maglev train, and it is entitled "Electric Flyer Makes 500 Miles an Hour," see pages 794. This is a real bargain, this magazine. Up in the right-hand corner it says, 15 cents. What kind of a magazine can you buy today for 15 cents? The date on the article helps explain that - March 1917.
