Paul: On this we cannot agree. I must respectfully submit that as little as I wi***o put Americans out of their jobs, I do not care if we fire Amtrak personnel. Why? Because I am heartless? No. But because the purpose of Amtrak- or any passenger system, for that matter- is not to provide employment. It is to provide transportation. Businesses fail all the time. There is always a human cost in every aspect of human endeavor. This is no excuse to subsidize failure. And if Amtrak is not providing astisfactory transportation, then it should undergo restructuring, or if that fails, liquidization. As for the NEC.... well the rest of us out here in the non NEC states feel a little p.o.'d that we pay for your bullet trains while the corridors out here like CalTrans and Cascade are subsidized by our state dollars. I do not agree with many of Mr Gunn's initiatives. I will, however, give him his grace period to settle in and maybe show some promise of making meaningful change. but if no such meaningful change occurs within the next year or two, showing that reform is possible, then it's time to get it over with and scrap Amtrak and start all over. Respectfully yours, Alexander Craghead Portland, Oregon
