::::::Cool! To that end, below is a suggestion.  The location would be in the 'Funding' section of the article, 2nd to last paragragh.  It would be in context to the preceeding paragragh stating that the initial segment will cost $40 billion. The letter in question cited $3.5 billion in projects, or less than 10% of the initial segment.  The brevity of the text reflects that.   

 ::::::Also, no specific projects ware cited below.  This includes the Transbay Terminal that was not on the Authority list.  We can speculate why at lengths; however, all that can be assumed from the letter is that it was did not meet one of the three criteria cited by the CHSRA.  Let's also recognize that there is no reference to anything being defunded in the CHSRA letter; because nothing is being defunded.  The letter was seeking Feinstein's support for the listed projects.  It was not an application.  Not being on the list means nothing more than it not meeting one of the criteria cited by the Authority in the letter.   

 ::::::That said, suggested text: 

 ::::::In January 2009, the Authority provided a list of construction projects and cost estimates to Senator Diane Feinstein that would stimulate the economy, support the California High Speed Rail project, and are ready to commence.  The sum costs of the projects were approximately $3.5 billion.
