National Trails System Act to update the feasibility and suitability 
study originally prepared for the Trail of Tears National Historic 
Trail and provide for the inclusion of new trail segments, land 
components, and campgrounds associated with that trail, and for other 
purposes; ``yea'' to H.R. 3496--National Capital Transportation 
Amendments Act of 2005 and ``yea'' to H.R. 3729--Federal Judiciary 
Emergency Tolling Act of 2005.
