  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Wisconsin (Mr. Petri) and the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 
5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on H.R. 6233.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Wisconsin?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, the bill before us amends the Safe, Accountable, 
Flexible, Efficiency Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, or 
SAFETEA-LU, to make technical corrections.
  The bill was introduced by Chairman Don Young of Alaska, Mr. Jim 
Oberstar of Minnesota, Peter DeFazio of Oregon and me, who worked 
together on the development and passage of the SAFETEA-LU authorization 
bill last year.
  In June, the House passed the technical corrections bill to SAFETEA-
LU, H.R. 5689. Since then, we have been working with our Senate 
colleagues to identify and correct any other outstanding issue from the 
original bill. This bill, H.R. 6233, is the product of those 
negotiations and will make the necessary changes to SAFETEA-LU.
  The technical corrections included in the bill have been identified 
by the Department of Transportation and are mostly of a conforming 
nature or correct drafting errors. The most important correction we are 
making is to strengthen the Federal highway research program by 
ensuring the continuation of the legacy research programs carried out 
by the Department of Transportation. The bill has been scored by the 
Congressional Budget Office and has no budgetary impact.
  I support this legislation and encourage my colleagues to do the 
same.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 6233, a bill to make technical 
corrections to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible Efficient Transportation 
Equity Act: A Legacy for Users, SAFETEA-LU.
  I want to thank my colleagues on the committee and particularly the 
leadership on the committee, Chairman Young; subcommittee chairman, Mr. 
Petri; the ranking member, Mr. Oberstar; the staff who did tremendous 
work on this bill which became law just a little over a year ago.
  It is a tremendous investment in the future of our Nation in terms of 
improving the infrastructure to mitigate for congestion, dealing with 
ongoing problems with maintenance of the existing structure. In 
particular in my State, a substantial amount of funds will be applied 
to fix cracked bridges on the Interstate 5 system, a life-blood system 
which serves the entire west coast of the United States.
  The bill had, as any major bill does, a few inadvertent drafting 
errors, probably due to the Senate, and some legislative language that 
needed some minor change.
  In particular, there was a problem with funding for the Service 
Transportation Research Development and Deployment Account, that the 
funding was oversubscribed. It meant that the Federal Highway 
Administration would not have been able to continue its legacy research 
program, which is an extraordinarily important program that looks at 
activities, including the Biannual Conditions and Performance Report, 
an objective appraisal of highway bridge, transit finance, physical 
condition, operational performance and future investment requirements, 
information that will be absolutely critical as we move forward toward 
the next major Surface Transportation Act in the not-too-distant 
future.
  So the bill is otherwise a straightforward technical correction, 
without additions. I would recommend it to my colleagues.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman 
from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar).
  Mr. OBERSTAR. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  I am relieved that we are that point in the process on this technical 
corrections bill. This has had a longer gestation period than the 
technical corrections bill for the previous reauthorization, TEA-21, 
when we had well over

[[Page H8001]]

1,000 technical corrections. We have many fewer this time, but it seems 
more contentious, particularly with the other body.
  It has just taken seemingly endless hours of discussion and meetings 
among committee staff, and discussions. And I particularly appreciate 
the patience of the chairman, the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), 
who, on occasion, his impatience has moved the process along.
  We should not have to do that. We should have been able to come 
together, look at the problems, just little oversights, misprintings, 
misstatements of what Members agreed upon in the conference and in the 
two versions of the bill that went to conference. We should have been 
able to do that in a matter of a couple of months.
  But here we are almost a year later, well over a year later, and we 
are getting these items ironed out. Meanwhile, of course, a number of 
Members changed their mind about projects that they had, and 
circumstances changed in the various districts across the country.
  So we have come back, and again with great bipartisan cooperation and 
an enormous effort on the part of the majority and minority staff, who 
have given tremendous hours of their time, Saturdays and Sundays, 
working, attempting to work through the August recess, when the other 
body went off and was not willing to cooperate with us.
  But here we are. The SAFETEA-LU bill has proven to be enormously 
successful and effective. The policies that we set forth in that bill 
are being carried out by the States and with the practitioners of 
transportation across this country, and the bill has been received with 
great acclaim.
  The technical corrections that we bring are, the gentleman from 
Wisconsin, the chairman of the subcommittee has spelled out some of 
them, Ranking Member DeFazio has spelled out others.
  I want to particularly address the recapture of critical research 
funds for the future strategic highway research program, which is a 
long-term research initiative addressing the most significant problems 
of highway safety, reliability, capacity, and renewal.
  The University Transportation Center Program, which has been very, 
very successful in offering new initiatives to deal with problems of 
transportation through the application of technology in education 
research, and innovative technological approaches to our transportation 
needs.
  The development of publication of DOT's Conditions and Performance 
Report. That is so important. That is a little-understood item that is 
paid little attention, but it is the basis upon which we will move to 
the next authorization of transportation which will guide the 
practitioners, the State Departments of Transportation, the Federal 
Highway Administration in applying SAFETEA-LU. It gives us an objective 
appraisal of highway conditions, bridge conditions, financing of our 
transit and highway programs, performance of our highway, bridge and 
transit systems, and the needs for future investment.
  This Conditions and Performance Report is a critical matter. I am 
glad we were able to get it straightened out.
  The bill also modifies the Repeat Intoxicated Driver Law, to allow 
for the use of ignition interlock devices.
  We were making a lot of progress against highway fatalities, but 
suddenly in the last 2 years the number has been going on up, somewhere 
around 44-45,000 fatalities a year. Should be going in the other 
direction. Half of those, nearly half of those, 40 percent of those 
fatalities are alcohol-related. It is not the bad road conditions. It 
is not bad bridges. It is alcohol related.
  The interlock provision was included in both House and Senate bills, 
but it was not included in the conference report by simply an 
oversight. So the technical correction incorporates the change of 
giving States flexibility to continue with the 1-year license 
suspension requirement, or a 45-day license suspension. That is an 
important initiative if we are going to continue to save lives.
  I am talking about just the fatalities. There are 1,300,000 people 
injured in accidents nationally. The repeat offenders are just a part 
of the U.S. drunk driving problem. They represent one-third of all DUI, 
driving under the influence, arrests every year. Fifty to 75 percent of 
repeat offenders whose licenses have been suspended continue to drive 
illegally.

                              {time}  1845

  So an ignition interlock will prevent those offenders who have 
imbibed too much from operating their vehicle. They will be able to 
drive to work, drive to school or go to an alcohol treatment program, 
but we want to keep those bad drivers, repeat bad drivers off the road 
and save lives, and this initiative will help do that.
  The technical corrections bill also corrects and states in much 
clearer language an intention that was written in to permit the 
construction of a bridge over Interstate 35 near North Branch in the 
southern tier of my congressional district, and how the State and the 
Federal Highway Administration could have misunderstood the language we 
wrote in that bill is beyond me.
  We authorized $7.5 million for design, engineering and construction 
of a bridge, and the Federal Highway Administration and the State said, 
oh, no, the way you wrote it, we interpret it to be only for design and 
engineering. Well, I tell you, you do not spend $7.5 million to design 
and engineer a $7.5 million bridge. We have made that very clear in 
this technical corrections.
  So with those adjustments, I offer my heartfelt thanks to Chairman 
Young for his patience, for his perseverance; Chairman Petri, for a 
partnership that we have continually had and his leadership; and the 
gentleman from Oregon, who has invested an enormous amount of time; but 
especially to staff on both sides whose continued creativity has made 
it possible for us to bring this bill to this point. Now let us hope 
that the other body passes it with alacrity.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the 
gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young), the chairman of the Transportation 
and Infrastructure Committee.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding, 
and I want to thank Mr. DeFazio and Mr. Petri, and especially Mr. 
Oberstar, the ranking member. This is a good team. We wrote a good 
bill, but the bill was quite large, and there were some errors in 
printing and errors in judgment in the sense that somebody had 
misinterpreted what we wrote, and this bill is truly a technical 
corrections bill.
  The reasons it take a little time. As the gentleman from Minnesota 
mentioned, is because this is a two-body form of government, and there 
was some difference of opinion in the other body on what I will not 
mention, and it has taken us a long time to try to arrive at this 
technical corrections bill that gets done what we tried to do and 
intended to do and will do now in SAFETEA-LU.
  I would like at this time, again it has already been said, but to 
thank the staff, minority and majority, Graham Hill, Ward, and Jim 
Tymon, and everybody that has worked on this legislation, along with 
the other body.
  We now are at a point in the last days of this session that we will 
be able to get this bill done so we can go forth and implement what we 
did in SAFETEA-LU and that is getting transportation built within this 
country as it should.
  The gentleman from Minnesota also mentioned about the foundation, and 
I have to say this because I know we are on this TV or C-SPAN and I 
will say that right now the institution of knowledge about previous law 
is crucially important for the next step in building infrastructure in 
this country. Much of SAFETEA-LU was based upon what was done in the 
previous transportation act and the next one, 4 years from now, will be 
based upon SAFETEA-LU, and that is crucially important to understand 
where we were before we can go forward from where we should be.
  So for Members that say, well, this is an important institution, it 
is not important. If you want transportation to be built adequately and 
justifiably, then you go back through history and go forward on the 
blocks of building which we established in this legislation.
  I just want that it is a good technical correction bill. It will be 
done, I believe, tonight; and the other body has

[[Page H8002]]

agreed to accept this, even though I cannot speak for them, but in 
doing so we will get the roads built, the bridges built and all the 
other programs the gentleman from Minnesota and the gentleman from 
Oregon and the gentleman from Wisconsin mentioned and that are in this 
SAFETEA-LU.
  So I congratulate those that worked so hard and took the time. I 
congratulate you for taking the effort, and I do think we ought to step 
forward and strongly support the passage of this legislation.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I insert this exchange of letters 
between Don Young and Sherwood Boehlert for the Record.

                                         House of Representatives,


                                         Committee on Science,

                               Washington, DC, September 29, 2006.
     Hon. Don Young,
     Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: I am writing to you concerning the 
     jurisdictional interest of the Science Committee in matters 
     being considered in H.R. 6233--To amend the Safe, 
     Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
     Legacy for Users to make technical corrections, and for other 
     purposes. The bill amends research portions of H.R. 3, Safe, 
     Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
     Legacy for Users (P.L. 109-59), which are within the Science 
     Committee's jurisdiction. The Science Committee acknowledges 
     the importance of H.R. 6233 and the need for the legislation 
     to move expeditiously. Therefore, while we have a valid claim 
     to jurisdiction over the bill, I agree not to request a 
     sequential referral. This, of course, is conditional on our 
     mutual understanding that nothing in this legislation or my 
     decision to forgo a sequential referral waives, reduces or 
     otherwise affects the jurisdiction of the Science Committee, 
     and that a copy of this letter and of your response will be 
     included in the Congressional Record when the bill is 
     considered on the House floor.
       The Science Committee also asks that you support our 
     request to be conferees on any provisions over which we have 
     jurisdiction during House-Senate conference on this 
     legislation.
       Thank you for your attention to this matter.
           Sincerely,
                                                Sherwood Boehlert,
     Chairman.
                                  ____

         House of Representatives, Committee on Transportation and 
           Infrastructure,
                               Washington, DC, September 29, 2006.
     Hon. Sherwood L. Boehlert,
     Chairman, Committee on Science,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter of September 
     29, 2006, regarding H.R. 6233, making technical corrections 
     to SAFETEA: LU, and for your willingness to waive 
     consideration of provisions in the bill that fall within your 
     Committee's jurisdiction under House Rules.
       I agree that your waiving consideration of relevant 
     provisions of H.R. 6233 does not waive your Committee's 
     jurisdiction over the bill. I also acknowledge your right to 
     seek conferees on any provisions that are under your 
     Committee's jurisdiction during any House-Senate conference 
     on H.R. 6233 or similar legislation, and will support your 
     request for conferees on such provisions.
       As you request, your letter and this response will be 
     included in the Congressional Record during consideration on 
     the House floor.
       Thank you for your cooperation in moving this important 
     legislation.
           Sincerely,
                                                        Don Young,
                                                         Chairman.

  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. PETRI. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Petri) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 6233.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

                          ____________________
