 NOTICE OF INTENT TO OFFER MOTION TO INSTRUCT CONFEREES ON H.R. 2400, 
    BUILDING EFFICIENT SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AND EQUITY ACT OF 1998

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to clause 1(c) of House Rule XXVIII, 
I hereby notify the House of my intention tomorrow to offer the 
following motion to instruct House conferees on H.R. 2400, Building 
Efficient Surface Transportation and Equity Act of 1998:
  I move that the managers on the part of the House at the conference 
on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the bill, H.R. 2400, be 
instructed to insist that no provisions to prohibit or reduce service-
connected disability compensation to veterans for smoking-related 
illnesses be included in the conference report on H.R. 2400 to offset 
spending for highway or transit programs.
