           By Mr. SCHIFF:
       H.R. 2120.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The Valley-Wide Noise Relief Act is constitutional under 
     Article I, Section 8, Clause 18, the Necessary and Proper 
     Clause. The bill is constitutionally authorized under the 
     Necessary and Proper Clause, which supports the expansion of 
     congressional authority beyond the explicit authorities that 
     are directly discernible from the text.
