Certainly, in light of present energy shortages, the need for additional publi.c transportation is real. AMTRAK has provided an important link in Wisconsin's transportation network in the past, and, like you, I believe the decision to reduce service was a most unfortunate one. With this in mind� I have been in touch with Department of Transportation official� as well as officials of the National Rail Passanger Corporation in the past in an effort to improve rail pasaenger service to Wisconsin. I intend to continue in this effort and appreciate knowing of �'�- r�_ m.,�on Council's support. Best regards� WAS: bt ours, e William A.

As you know, route surveys and facility analyses were con- ducted in June of this year by State government, AMTRAK, and railroad officials. A report regarding the feasibility study of the Fox Valley route is expected from AMTRAK in the near future. Community support and involvement is essential to the re- development of rail passenger service in Wisconsin. To that end, your City's resolution is especially timely. Local government funds for passenger depot purchase and/or renovation and maintenance, as well as to help defray parking, promotional and other costs can be an important element in securing needed service. I appreciate the City of Oshkosh's expression of community support and involvement. Your efforts can be helpful in re- establishing passenger train service to the Fox Valley area. This project provides an excellent opportunity for State and local government to work together harmoniously to the benefit of our citizens. Sincerely, . . PATRICK .
