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

  Mr. MINGE. 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 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 ensure that spending for highways and transit programs 
authorized in the conference agreement on H.R. 2400 is fully paid for 
using estimates of the Congressional Budget Office, to reject the use 
of estimates from any other source, to reject any method of budgeting 
that departs from the budget enforcement principles currently in 
effect, or the use of the budget surplus to pay for spending on 
highways or transit programs.
