[Vision2020] Grain Exports

[Tom Hansen]

Maybe Phil is on to something when he suggested that we renew our faith in
the railroad system for the purposes of the Port of Lewiston and its
capabilities to support this nation's export of grain.  Now, if Lewiston
only had the dock space for those super tankers that regularly weighed
anchor outside of New Orleans.

Hey, Phil:  Here is another concept that may be worth sweeping off the old
cobwebs.  We can vastly improve the quality of our postal system by dusting
off a few horses and reinstating the Pony Express.  Whatcha say?

Phil, I believe the 27% applies to the entire Snake-Columbia River system,
not just the Port of Lewiston.

The Port Of New Orleans is indeed a large mover of grains and agricultural
productsm, but you seem to be disparaging of the Port Of Lewiston.  27% of
all grains exported from the USA every year go through the port 27 Miles to
our south.
