WHEREAS, the United States is presently going through a time when
traditional sources of energy are greatly limited for transportation that relies

could benefit by establishing routes along Florida's East Coast with the
Florida East Coast Railway Company, who presently has usable tracks and
stations, so that passenger service could be furnished to those who wish to
visit Florida, and so that East Coast residents would have an energy saving
and economical means of transportation.
