That idea might work if Congress was handing the money directly to Amtrak. However, that is not the case. Congress is giving the apropriated monies to the DOT, which means that Mineta can hold up Amtrak's money if Amtrak does not comply.

And you can bet that Mineta would love for that to happen. Or at least the people pulling Mineta's strings would love for that to happen.
