		Turner has said that the 100-plus proposals represent an effort to wage the war on terror on three fronts simultaneously — going after the terrorists wherever they are, improving homeland security and "making the investments and taking the action necessary to prevent the rise of future terrorists."
		He estimates that this nation's investment would be in the range of $100 billion, matched, Turner hopes, by contributions from allies and wealthier Arab states.
		The congressman notes that the entire plan could be paid for with one-tenth of the estimated $4.4 trillion that Bush administration tax cuts would cost over 10 years.

		This latter report was issued by Congressman Jim Turner (Representing the 2nd District of Texas) back in the spring (April 27).
		More importantly, the Democrats are planning to allow Turner to speak (albeit last) on Monday night, which is the first evening of their convention.
		Still, that night's theme is "The Kerry-Edwards Plan for America's Future." Given the Kerry TV commercial emphasis on rail and port security, which reflects some of what Turner recommended in his spring report, I think this is going to receive major play in the next few months during the campaign.

		There is still a good chance that a light rail trolley system may be built, but the relocation of I-40 south of downtown OKC will destroy an existing rail yard that is an essential part of the plan.
