 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 
                                  2000


                         Port McKenzie Project

  Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I would like to ask the chairman of the 
Subcommittee on Transportation to clarify a provision in the fiscal 
year 2000 transportation appropriations conference report. The 
conference report refers to the ``Anchorage Ship Creek intermodal 
facility.'' The Ship Creek area of Anchorage is undergoing an important 
redevelopment that will include intermodal access across Knik Arm to 
the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. This grant will help improve the Port 
McKenzie facility, a multi-use facility which will support transit 
between Anchorage and the Mat-Su area. The Matanuska-Sustina Borough is 
the sponsor of this project and the logical applicant for this funding. 
Do I understand correctly that is the intent of the committee?
  Mr. SHELBY. The chairman of the full committee is correct. That is 
the intent of the conference committee.
