Thank you, Mr. Chair.

You've said here today that the consideration of high-speed rail and public transit ought to go hand in hand, essentially. We have heard cost estimates, by one of our witnesses, for a long-term commitment to high-speed rail of anywhere from $20 billion up to $50 billion. How much of an investment in the necessary connectivity in public transit would we be looking at by way of a commitment at one time?
