States;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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.</DELETED>
<DELETED> (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

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.
