Dear Mr ishop:
Thank you for contacting me to express your support
regarding the BART extension to the San Francisco Airport . It
was good to hear from you.
I am a committed advocate of BART, and have a close working
relationship with BART' s leadership. In my role on the
Transportation Committee, I will work to ensure that BART is
funded adequately and that mass transit systems throughout the
Country receive solid federal support. I will continue to work
hard for worthy transportation projects like BART.
Initially, Subcommittee Appropriations Chairman Frank Wolf
(R-VA) refused to consider BART funding in FY 96 . I spoke with
Wolf about the need for funding and he agreed to include $10
million in his Subcommittee ' s legislation to initiate the
extension. I am currently working with BART to find the most
reasonable and cost-effective route into the S . F. Airport . As we
continue to debate this issue in Congress, I will keep your
concerns in mind.
Thanks again for sharing your views with me. I appreciate
your input and look forward to hearing from you again.
T
c(pr2 ,
Bill Baker
Member of Congress
