June 6, 2002

---

A letter urging funding for Amtrak in 2003 in the amount of $1.975 billion was signed by 162 Representatives and sent to House appropriations leaders. That amount is the same as in the one-year Amtrak authorization bill, H.R.4545, approved by the Railroads Subcommittee on May 8. The amount includes the $1.2 billion Amtrak said it needs to survive in 2003, plus $400 million for life safety work in the New York, Baltimore and Washington tunnels, and $375 million for systemwide security.
