  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
California [Mr. Moorhead] and the gentleman from Virginia [Mr. Scott] 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from California [Mr. Moorhead].
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  (Mr. MOORHEAD asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2297, which 
restates without substantive change, laws related to transportation and 
makes other technical improvements in the United States Code. The bill 
was prepared for the House Judiciary Committee by the Office of the Law 
Revision Counsel under its authority under section 285(b) of title 2, 
United States Code, to prepare and submit periodically revisions of 
positive law titles of the Code to keep those titles current.
  The Office of the Law Revision Counsel is engaged in an ongoing 
project of preparing various titles of the United States Code for 
enactment into positive law. Such codifications are important because 
they facilitate access to the law on a particular subject by putting it 
in one place--obviating the necessity of examining disparate statutes. 
Amending positive law involves fewer technical complexities--and thus 
presents fewer opportunities for errors--because the United States Code 
itself is amended rather than having to enact changes in various acts. 
Finally, positive law facilitates proof in judicial proceedings, 
because the text of United States Code titles enacted into positive law 
is legal evidence in Federal and State courts of the laws contained 
therein.
  Congress codified title 49 into positive law in segments--initially 
completing the task with the July 5, 1994 enactment of Public Law 103-
272. Later that year, Congress enacted Public Law 103-429 to make 
technical improvements and incorporate title 49 transportation related 
laws enacted after the June 30, 1993 cutoff date for Public Law 103-272 
or not otherwise included in title 49.
  Today, we again update title 49--this time to incorporate an 
additional law not already included in the codification and make 
further technical corrections. Some of these technical changes are 
necessitated by events after the September 25, 1994 cutoff date for the 
last transportation related codification--including the enactment of 
Public Law 103-88, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, on December 29, 
1995.
  As the result of comments received from various departments and 
agencies concerned with transportation, and interested private parties, 
the Office of Law Revision Counsel prepared an amendment in the nature 
of a substitute to incorporate changes resulting from the comments. 
After reviewing the legislation as reported by the Committee on the 
Judiciary, the chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Mr. Bliley, and 
the chairman of the Committee on Science, Mr. Walker, advised me of 
their support. To reflect comments from the Committee on Transportation 
and Infrastructure, the Office of Law Revision Counsel proposed some 
additional changes--which are incorporated in the manager's amendment.
  The Law Revision Counsel assures me that H.R. 2297, as amended, makes 
no change in the substance of existing law. Therefore, no additional 
cost to the Government would be incurred as a result of enactment. Pay-
as-you-go procedures would not apply, because enactment would not 
affect direct spending or receipts.
  By updating and improving the codification of title 49, this 
legislation will provide to be beneficial to Congress, the courts, and 
the public. I urge my colleagues to support it.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. SCOTT. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, these changes in the bill are technical. There are no 
substantive changes in the law. It merely codifies and clarifies 
present law, and I urge the Members to support the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from California [Mr. Moorhead] that the House suspend the 
rules and pass the bill, H.R. 2297, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
