                       TITLE V--OTHER PROVISIONS

     SEC. 501. DE SOTO COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI.

       Section 219(f)(30) of the Water Resources Development Act 
     of 1992 (106 Stat. 4835; 110 Stat. 3757; 113 Stat. 334; 114 
     Stat. 2763A-220; 119 Stat. 282; 119 Stat. 2257) is amended by 
     striking ``$55,000,000'' and inserting ``$75,000,000''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar) and the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Mica) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Minnesota.


                             General Leave

  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members

[[Page H9520]]

may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks and to include extraneous and tabular material.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Minnesota?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill is one that has not only bipartisan but 
bicameral agreement among all the committees of jurisdiction over the 
Nation's highways, highway safety and public transportation programs. 
Our Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the Senate 
Committees on Environment and Public Works, Banking and Housing and 
Urban Affairs and Commerce, Science and Transportation, all of us met, 
discussed, agreed on these technical corrections.
  In fact, in the last Congress, we were so much in agreement that we 
passed this bill five times in the House. They passed it a couple of 
times in the other body. But somehow it just never got to the point of 
being sent to the President.
  We took it up again this year. We were going to include it in the 
Water Resources Development Act, but at the last moment, technical 
glitches arose in the other body.
  So we are taking it up separately in this body in order to pass it 
and send it over to the other body. Hopefully, they will be able to act 
on it before the end of the week and send it to the President for the 
President's signature.
  There are over 400 technical corrections, really, truly technical in 
nature, waiting for 2 years to be adjusted and to be enacted. Tonight 
we can do that.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to thank Chairman 
Oberstar, Ranking Member Duncan, Mr. DeFazio, who is the chairman of 
the Highways and Transit Subcommittee, everyone, including staff, for 
their work on this important technical corrections bill.
  I am pleased to rise tonight and voice my support for H.R. 3248 and 
encourage my colleagues to do the same. This, in fact, is the fourth 
time we have brought this bill to the floor in the past 18 months. It 
is imperative that we pass this measure and for the Senate to follow 
our lead and pass it as well. I think we have a pretty good agreement 
with the Senate to do just that.
  Once the President signs this legislation, SAFETEA-LU, which is the 
major transportation and highway transit funding bill that we passed 
less than 2 years ago, all the provisions of that will finally be able 
to accomplish what Congress set out to do. There are many minor errors, 
and that was a pretty massive bill, and there are some minor changes in 
policy, tweaks in policy and in Member projects in the SAFETEA-LU bill 
that we passed that need this technical correction.
  We have heard from the Department of Transportation and also several 
State DOTs regarding fixes to different programs and also high-priority 
projects. I believe this bill tonight addresses most of the issues that 
have been brought to the attention of our committee.
  This bill also makes critical corrections to the Federal Highway 
Research Program to ensure that the department can continue essential 
research programs, including the Future Strategic Highway Research 
Program and the University Transportation Center Research Program.
  The bill also extends the deadline for the National Surface 
Transportation and Policy and Review Study Commission and corrects 
several drafting errors regarding the Magnetic Levitation 
Transportation Deployment Program. Extending the deadline on the 
National Transportation Surface Policy and Review Study Commission is 
very important, particularly as we take on in 2009 the important 
responsibility of putting in place another bill that will replace 
SAFETEA-LU to set our policy and projects and transportation priorities 
for the future.
  So, it is important to note that this bill does not make any 
substantial policy changes to the SAFETEA-LU bill, but, again, it deals 
with technical corrections. Again, this bill corrects provisions that 
were not workable by the States or by the Department of Transportation. 
They have relayed their concerns and we have addressed them in this 
bill.
  It also is important to note that the Congressional Budget Office has 
scored this bill and estimates that, over the 2007-2012 period, this 
bill will reduce contract authority by $1 million and will increase 
receipts by less than $500,000.
  There is one purely technical correction that is not included in this 
package. SAFETEA-LU inadvertently changes certain regulations for 
trucks with a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds. When 
Congress passed SAFETEA-LU, this change was not a policy change that 
Congress knew about or intended to make. If Congress wanted to make 
this change, we would have debated and discussed it. Rather, this was 
something we were not aware of, and this change has had, in effect, 
very serious unintended consequences, especially for our small 
businesses.
  I had hoped to fix this problem with a technical fix. However, some 
groups who have benefited from this error have, unfortunately, 
prevented us from doing so tonight and in this legislation. It is 
unfortunate a policy change that no Member anticipated and voted on 
will not be corrected in this legislation tonight.
  Despite this particular shortcoming and oversight, again, I am 
pleased to have worked with Chairman Oberstar, Ranking Member Duncan in 
revitalizing this very necessary technical corrections bill, and I hope 
my colleagues will join me in supporting the bill tonight.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute to observe a very 
tragic occurrence that happened just 2 hours ago in Minneapolis.
  The bridge on Interstate 35 over the Mississippi River near the 
University of Minnesota collapsed just 2 hours ago, dropping at least 
eight cars and a truck in the water. A school bus that had just barely 
missed crashing into the water was damaged, and students on board were 
bloodied and injured.

                              {time}  2030

  The crumbled wreckage of the bridge is on the east bank and in the 
water. The concrete roadway is in the river gorge. It is a 40-year-old 
bridge, and it is a tragic occurrence, and I make that observation 
during the midst of technical corrections as an indication of how 
vitally important it is for us to continue our vigilance on the 
integrity and condition of the Nation's roadways.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I am very pleased to yield 3 
minutes to one of the most distinguished Members of the House, a former 
Speaker of the House of Representatives, the gentleman from Illinois 
(Mr. Hastert).
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member, and I would 
like to ask the chairman of the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure if he would enter into a colloquy with me.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Of course.
  Mr. HASTERT. Mr. Chairman, I have been informed by the Illinois 
Department of Transportation that there may be some confusion regarding 
the intent of one of the Illinois projects included in SAFETEA-LU. 
Funding provided for project number 12 in section 1302(e) of SAFETEA-LU 
was intended to be for the construction of Route 34 in Illinois, 
including interchanges and other improvements.
  The Federal Highway Administration has told the Illinois Department 
of Transportation that the language currently in SAFETEA-LU may 
restrict the scope of the project to only funding interchange 
improvements, when the intent of the language was also to fund other 
improvements along the Route 34 corridor.
  As a result, I would like to clarify the intent of the language and 
work with the chairman and the ranking member to make sure that the 
language interpreted by the FHWA is done correctly in this manner.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would yield.
  Mr. HASTERT. I would be happy to yield.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I recall very well when crafting SAFETEA-
LU, the project that the gentleman has raised, it was never the

[[Page H9521]]

intention of the committee nor the intention of the language to 
restrict the scope of the project only to the interchange when it is 
clear from the thrust of the project that it was intended to cover 
other improvements along the Route 34 corridor.
  Along with Mr. Mica, I will work with the Speaker to make 
adjustments. It is a little late for us to get it into this bill. If we 
had known about it sufficiently in advance, we certainly could have 
made an adjustment. But there will be other vehicles where we will be 
able to accomplish that, and we will work with the gentleman.
  Mr. HASTERT. Once again, I thank you and look forward to working with 
you and Mr. Mica on this matter.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds.
  I want to reiterate for the Record that the issue that former Speaker 
Hastert has brought before the floor, it is my understanding that we 
did not intend to restrict the scope of the project to only funding for 
interchange improvements, and the intent of the language was to also 
fund the other improvements on Route 34, and we will work with the 
gentleman from Illinois to make certain that point is clarified.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from 
Oregon (Mr. DeFazio), the chairman of the Surface Transportation 
Subcommittee.
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
  It was just about 2 years ago this month that we were struggling with 
the final details of the SAFETEA-LU legislation, in my opinion the 
signature legislation of the last Congress, bipartisan legislation, to 
improve the transportation efficiency of the United States of America, 
investing nearly $300 billion.
  But, as good as the bill was, there were technical problems, and we 
are correcting those here; and, as good as that bill was, we must do 
better in the future.
  As chairman of the subcommittee, I have already begun hearings 
looking toward the reauthorization which we would hope to have 
accomplished by the expiration of this legislation, October 1, 2009. We 
hope not to go through multiple continuations and extensions as we did 
in the last Congress.
  We also need to find new resources to better address the 
infrastructure needs of our country. The Bush administration's own 
Department of Transportation estimated before the consideration of the 
last bill that we needed $375 billion, not $283 billion, just to keep 
up with the deterioration and the growth needs of the country, as 
pointed out by the gentleman from Minnesota.
  We need to deal with congestion to improve American's lives, to 
become more fuel efficient, and to deal with just-in-time delivery for 
our businesses, to become a better competitor in the international 
community. Other nations are investing much more. We must do better. 
This is an interim step as we correct the bill from the last Congress, 
and I look forward to working with both sides of the aisle as we 
develop the next bill for 2009.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to yield at this time to the 
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Duncan). And, actually, he is our ranking 
member of the Highway Subcommittee and has done an incredible job on 
this and also leading the Highway Subcommittee and former chairman of 
Water Resources and former chairman of Aviation, and he should have 
handled this bill, but I am delighted to yield 3 minutes to Mr. Duncan.
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank my good friend from Florida, the 
ranking member, for yielding me this time; and I thank him for giving 
me the privilege of serving as the ranking member of the Highway and 
Transit Subcommittee. It is a pleasure to work with him and Chairman 
Oberstar and with my good friend, Chairman Peter DeFazio, on the 
Highway and Transit Subcommittee.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3248 make technical corrections to the Safe, 
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy 
for Users, or what we typically call SAFETEA-LU.
  This is the fourth time we have worked to finalize these technical 
corrections to SAFETEA-LU. During the 109th Congress, the House passed 
H.R. 5689, a bill to make technical corrections to SAFETEA-LU in June, 
2006. During the summer and fall of 2006, we worked with the Senate to 
create the bipartisan H.R. 6233, which was a very similar product to 
the bill that we passed at the beginning of this Congress. Now we are 
trying again; and hopefully this bill, H.R. 3248, will go to the 
President for his signature of this very necessary bill.
  As my colleagues have said, this bill makes numerous technical 
corrections to the Federal Surface Transportation Programs authorized 
by SAFETEA-LU. The technical corrections included in this bill have 
been identified by the Department of Transportation and State DOTs and 
are mostly of a conforming nature or to 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. This research hopefully will lead to not only safer 
highways but also less congestion, which is very, very important to 
this Nation, that we work on that.
  The largest section of this bill is section 105, which makes changes 
to almost 350 of the high-priority projects in section 1702 of SAFETEA-
LU. These changes address ``broken'' surface transportation projects, 
clarifying recipients and increasing certain project funding levels and 
decreasing others to achieve budget neutrality.
  I especially appreciate the fact that Chairman Oberstar and Ranking 
Member Mica have allowed me to put in language that will allow the city 
of Knoxville to go forward with a very important transit center 
project; and, also, I am very pleased that we are rearranging some 
funding so that the very small town of Calhoun, Tennessee, in my 
district, can pave some roads. This is very, very important to them. So 
often we leave out the small towns in rural areas or they don't get 
nearly as much attention and funding as the big cities do.
  This is a very good bill, and I urge the support of all of my 
colleagues. I think it is one that will pass with total bipartisan 
support.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I do have one additional speaker, Mr. McHenry, 
from Spruce Pine and Hickory and other wonderful locations in the great 
State of North Carolina; and I yield him 3 minutes.
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding me 
this time.
  The trial lawyers have an uncanny way of making their living. 
Although the title of this legislation is a technical corrections bill, 
one glaring technical correction that needs to be made is left out.
  As the ranking member said earlier tonight, the original SAFETEA-LU 
bill amended the definition of a commercial motor vehicle to exclude 
vehicles 10,000 pounds and less. The Department of Transportation had 
never issued regulations of this type of vehicle, which is essentially 
a small van or something smaller. It seemed to clear up the books and 
just make sense when it was done at the time. All too often what seems 
to be a simple idea ends up having much more significant consequences.
  What was considered a cleaning up of the books turned out to be a 
dramatic shift in labor law. The Fair Labor Standards Act exempts 
drivers of vehicles that can be regulated by the Secretary of 
Transportation. The definitional change of a commercial vehicle 
unwittingly brought a whole new class of employee under that act.
  In writing the provision, neither Congress nor the administration 
intended to fundamentally alter our national labor policies, but that 
is exactly what happened.
  What are the consequences? As I said, the trial lawyers have an 
uncanny ability to find sources to make money off of. Companies across 
the country that believed that their business model was and is 
perfectly legal because it had been may get a knock on the door from 
their friendly neighborhood trial lawyer informing them that they are 
now liable for overtime wages dating back to August 15, 2005, when 
SAFETEA-LU was signed into law.
  Congress didn't know what they had done. The administration didn't 
know

they had done this. How can we expect a small delivery service or some 
satellite dish installer or plumber to know that their business model 
is no longer viable?
  No one will argue that people aren't entitled to a fair and 
equitable, appropriate wage, but if we are going to significantly alter 
national labor law, we should have a full and open debate and we should 
do it intentionally, not by accident and not by trial lawyers. I think 
that is the one glaring omission from this act. If we would fix that, 
we would have a number of employers from around this country who would 
be safe from more trial lawyer, frivolous lawsuits.
  Shouldn't we ensure that companies are held liable? Sure, but we 
should do it as a Congress in a knowing way, a way that is befitting of 
this body, not by accident. We should not make them pay for our 
Congress' mistakes.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, I have no further speakers. I was hoping the 
gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Boozman) would make it to the floor. We 
took this bill out of the order we anticipated it coming up in, and the 
gentleman from Arkansas would have been recognized.
  Again, I thank Mr. Oberstar working with our side of the aisle; Mr. 
Duncan, my ranking member; the lead Republican on the Highway 
Subcommittee, Mr. DeFazio; and all of the staff on both sides. They 
worked real hard on this and over some weekends.
  We had originally planned to tack this onto the WRDA bill, but that 
was not meant to be. Actually, that might work out quite well because 
this might become law before WRDA, given the comments I have gotten 
from the White House on the WRDA legislation.
  But I thank all those involved in making certain that the laws that 
we pass have the intent and the content and the necessary corrections.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I listened thoughtfully to the comments of 
the gentleman from North Carolina. Those are issues that can be 
addressed in another time and another venue. We will most certainly 
address those matters in good order.

                              {time}  2045

  As I said at the outset, this is the seventh time the House has 
passed this technical corrections bill. We've been waiting patiently 
for the other body to join us in meaningful action on the bill, and so 
I know there's going to be a recorded vote. That's going to be 
reaffirmation of the strong stand the House has taken on these, and 
they truly are technical matters. We ought to just get them passed so 
that we can get over, so the States and the Federal Government agencies 
can get on with the work they need to undertake and that these 
adjustments to Members' projects can be made and be carried forward.
  That's really what this is all about, and other matters that go 
beyond the scope of this current technical correction we will address 
in future legislation.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I rise to clarify an ambiguity in a 
provision in the SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2007. 
Specifically, section 105(a)(99) of the bill refers to a project known 
as ``Dowling Road Extension/Reconstruction West,'' which goes in a 
west-east direction from Minnesota Drive to Old Seward Highway in 
Anchorage, AK. Unfortunately, the provision could be read to mean that 
the project goes in a westerly direction from Minnesota Drive to Old 
Seward Highway, which would create a result that would be completely 
incompatible with the project since it would put the road in the middle 
of a lake and a bog. The word ``west'' as used in section 105(a)(99) is 
part of the name of the project, and is not intended to indicate the 
direction in which the project should be built.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time and 
ask for an ``aye'' vote on the bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar) that the House suspend the 
rules and pass the bill, H.R. 3248.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the 
Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be 
postponed.
