     COASTAL HERITAGE TRAIL ROUTE APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORIZATION ACT

  Mr. BRYAN. Mr. President, I ask that the Chair lay before the Senate 
a message from the House of Representatives on a bill (S. 1574) to 
authorize appropriations for the Coastal Heritage Trail Route in the 
State of New Jersey, and for other purposes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the House of Representatives:

       Resolved, That the bill from the Senate (S. 1574) entitled 
     ``An Act to authorize appropriations for the Coastal Heritage 
     Trail Route in the State of New Jersey, and for other 
     purposes'', do pass with the following amendment:
       Strike out all after the enacting clause, and insert: That 
     section 6 of Public Law 100-515 (16 U.S.C. 1244 note) is 
     amended--
       (1) by striking ``There'' and inserting ``(a) There''; and
       (2) by adding at the end the following:
       ``(b)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), 
     there are hereby authorized to be appropriated to the 
     Secretary to carry out the purposes of this Act $1,000,000, 
     which is in addition to any sums appropriated for such 
     purposes for use during fiscal years ending on or before 
     September 30, 1993.
       ``(2) Funds appropriated pursuant to this subsection to 
     carry out the purposes of this Act shall be used solely for 
     technical assistance and the design and fabrication of 
     interpretive materials, devices and signs. In addition to the 
     limitation on funds contained in subsection (a), no funds 
     made available under this subsection shall be used for 
     operation, maintenance, repair or construction except for 
     construction of interpretive exhibits.
       ``(3) The Federal share of any project carried out with 
     funds appropriated pursuant to this subsection may not exceed 
     50 percent of the total cost for that project and shall be 
     provided on a matching basis. The non-Federal share of such 
     cost may be in the form of cash, materials or in-kind 
     services fairly valued by the Secretary.
       ``(c) The authorities provided to the Secretary under this 
     Act shall terminate five years after the date of enactment of 
     this subsection.''.

  Mr. BRYAN. Mr. President, I move that the Senate concur in the 
amendment of the House.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Mr. BRYAN. Mr. President, I move to reconsider the vote by which the 
motion was agreed to.
  Mr. SIMPSON. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
