Texas the governor had been shot. This is two hours. We have a mobile unit on the way to the white house now. The white house does not seem to have anymore information than the reporters on the scene. We are also establishing contact with Robert Mcneil in dallas. We expect to be getting reports from him very shortly. As you can imagine, extensive efforts are being made to get our men dispensed to the right place of the right timing get as much information as we can. Thank you, frank. We are relaying information as it comes in. Obviously, it will be sketchy for some time, because you can imagine what is happening to every circuit of radio and telephone between the east coast and dallas, texas at this moment. Obviously, at the moment, circuits are jammed. Here is something else. It was impossible to tell at once where kennedy was hit.

Thats what republicans are doing tonight. The chaos in the gop is spilling over. And threatening to blow up our economy. Right now House Republicans are ignoring the potential deal over in the senate. And instead trying to charge ahead with their own plan designed to appease the tea party. But just moments ago, they called off that vote. Its been postponed indefinitely. Apparently because they didnt think they had the votes to pass their own plan. Republicans have been playing games all day, and now they have nothing to show for it. President obama says enough is enough. The problem with the house is right now, i think, the House Republicans still believe that they can get concessions for doing their job and making sure that the American People arent hurt. What im suggesting to the congressional leaders is lets not do any pasturing. Lets not try to save face. Lets not worry about politics. Do whats right. Open the government and make sure were paying our bills. And we could do that tod

And there is 20 parents that were just told their children are dead. It was awful. And you were unable to do anything. Right. We knew at one point they asked the ambulances to leave, that they didnt need them and we knew that wasnt a good sign. Im wolf blitzer in washington.

Riders from new york to boston than all other airlines put together. 50 of people that travel this distance. And between washington d. C. And new york city, amtrak carries twice as many passengers as all Airlines Come bind. Today it carries 75 of inner city travel letters between new york and washington. Amtrak has done all this with the threat of funding cuts and privatization especially of the profitable northeast corridor hanging over its head. We know that in other parts of the world privatization of high speed Passenger Rail has tried and failed to solve the problems it was intended to solve. These plans were almost always preceded by funding cuts, system i can safety and reliability problems caused a great deal of upheaval in the transportation and forced countries to renational lies a system. With that being said, we think that amtraks longterm next general plan for the northeast corridor provides a temp plate for a Public Private partnership that is worth discussing. If the par
