      By Ms. LANDRIEU:
  S. 2985. A bill to amend the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users to correct a reference 
relating to a transit project in Orleans Parish, Louisiana; to the 
Committee on Environment and Public Works.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I rise today to ask that the Senate 
support technical corrections to a few highway bill projects in 
Louisiana. Specifically,

[[Page S3894]]

a modified alignment to a project in Lake Charles, an expanded project 
area for Jefferson Parish and expanded use for a project in New 
Orleans.
  These limited technical corrections will improve transportation in 
Louisiana and get the dollars previously directed toward this work into 
the economy. Notably, the corrections do not change the previously 
authorized level of spending, nor do they fundamentally alter the scope 
of the project.
  I look forward to working with the Environment and Public Works 
Committee to address these technical corrections.
                                 ______
