                        MACK AMENDMENT NO. 1429

  Mr. CHAFEE (for Mr. Mack) proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 440, 
supra; as follows:

     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE FEDERAL-STATE 
                   FUNDING RELATIONSHIP FOR TRANSPORTATION.

       Findings:
       (1) the designation of high priority roads through the 
     National Highway System is required by the Intermodal Surface 
     Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and will ensure the 
     continuation of funding which would otherwise be withheld 
     from the states.
       (2) the Budget Resolution supported the re-evaluation of 
     all federal programs to determine which programs are more 
     appropriately a responsibility of the States.
       (3) debate on the appropriate role of the federal 
     government in transportation will occur in the re-
     authorization of ISTEA.
       Therefore, it is the Sense of the Senate that the 
     designation of the MHS does not assume the continuation or 
     the elimination of the current federal-state relationship nor 
     preclude a re-evaluation of the federal-state relationship in 
     transportation.
