  The amendment (No. 1058) was agreed to.
  Mr. REID. I move to reconsider the vote.
  Mr. NICKLES. I move to lay that motion on the table.
  The motion to lay on the table was agreed to.
  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I am pleased to rise today in support of 
H.R. 2299, the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2002.
  The bill provides $15.575 billion in discretionary budget authority, 
including $695 million for defense spending. The budget authority will 
result in new outlays in 2002 of $20.257 billion. When outlays from 
prior-year budget authority are taken into account, discretionary 
outlays for the Senate bill total $52.926 billion in 2002. Of that 
total, $28.489 billion in outlays counts against the allocation for 
highways spending and $5.275 billion counts against the allocation for 
mass transit spending. The remaining $19.162 billion in outlays, 
including those for defense spending, counts against the allocation for 
general purpose spending. The bill is within its Section 302(b) 
allocations for budget authority and outlays for general purpose, 
defense, highways, and mass transit spending. In addition, the 
committee once again has met its target without the use of any 
emergency designations.
  Once again, I would like to commend Chairman Byrd and Senator 
Stevens, as well as subcommittee Chairwoman Murray and Senator Shelby, 
for their efforts to work cooperatively and expeditiously to move this 
legislation. The bill provides important new resources across all 
transportation modes. Not only does this bill fully meet our previous 
commitment to the highways, mass transit, and aviation programs, but it 
also provides important additional resources to improve pipeline safety 
and to support operations and development at the Coast Guard and the 
Federal Railroad Administration.
  I urge the adoption of the bill.
  I ask unanimous consent that a table displaying the Budget Committee 
scoring of this bill be inserted in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

\1\ The 2002 budget resolution includes a ``firewall'' in the Senate between defense and nondefense spending. Because the firewall is for budget
  authority only, the appropriations committee did not provide a separate allocation for defense outlays. The table combines defense and nondefense
  outlays together as ``general purpose'' for purposes of comparing the Senate-reported outlays with the subcommittee's allocation.
 
Notes.--Details may not add to totals due to rounding. Totals adjusted for consistency with scorekeeping conventions. For enforcement purposes, the
  Budget Committee compares the Senate-reported bill to the Senate 302(b) allocation.
