SEC. 313. UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ILLINOIS WATERWAY SYSTEM 
              NAVIGATION MODERNIZATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) exports are necessary to ensure job creation and an 
        improved standard of living for the people of the United 
        States;
            (2) the ability of producers of goods in the United States 
        to compete in the international marketplace depends on a modern 
        and efficient transportation network;
            (3) a modern and efficient waterway system is a 
        transportation option necessary to provide United States 
shippers a safe, reliable, and competitive means to win foreign markets 
in an increasingly competitive international marketplace;
            (4) the need to modernize is heightened because the United 
        States is at risk of losing its competitive edge as a result of 
        the priority that foreign competitors are placing on 
        modernizing their own waterway systems;
            (5) growing export demand projected over the coming decades 
        will force greater demands on the waterway system of the United 
        States and increase the cost to the economy if the system 
        proves inadequate to satisfy growing export opportunities;
            (6) the locks and dams on the upper Mississippi River and 
        Illinois River waterway system were built in the 1930s and have 
        some of the highest average delays to commercial tows in the 
        country;
            (7) inland barges carry freight at the lowest unit cost 
        while offering an alternative to truck and rail transportation 
        that is environmentally sound, is energy efficient, is safe, 
        causes little congestion, produces little air or noise 
        pollution, and has minimal social impact; and
            (8) it should be the policy of the Corps of Engineers to 
        pursue aggressively modernization of the waterway system 
        authorized by Congress to promote the relative competitive 
        position of the United States in the international marketplace.
    (b) Preconstruction Engineering and Design.--In accordance with the 
Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway System Navigation Study, the 
Secretary shall proceed immediately to prepare engineering design, 
plans, and specifications for extension of locks 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 on 
the Mississippi River and the LaGrange and Peoria Locks on the Illinois 
River, to provide lock chambers 110 feet in width and 1,200 feet in 
length, so that construction can proceed immediately upon completion of 
studies and authorization of projects by Congress.
