        RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY CONVEYANCE VALIDATION ACT OF 2003

  The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 1658) to amend the Railroad Right-of-
Way Conveyance Validation Act to validate additional conveyances of 
certain lands in the State of California that form part of the right-
of-way granted by the United States to facilitate the construction of 
the transcontinental railway, and for other purposes.
  There being no objection, the Clerk read the bill as follows:
