    COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR OF COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND 
                             INFRASTRUCTURE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the chair of the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure; which was read and, without objection, referred to the 
Committee on Appropriations:

         Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of 
           Representatives,
                               Washington, DC, September 18, 2014.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker of the House, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On September 17, 2014, pursuant to 
     section 3307 of Title 40, United States Code, the Committee 
     on Transportation and Infrastructure met in open session to 
     consider resolutions to authorize 12 prospectuses. These 12 
     prospectuses include two alteration projects, one 
     construction project, and three leases included in the 
     General Services Administration's (GSA) FY 2014 and FY 2015 
     Capital Investment and Leasing Programs. Six of the 
     prospectuses were included in the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs Construction, Long Range Capital Plans. At the 
     request of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Committee 
     authorized the leases to be executed pursuant to GSA's 
     leasing authority in accordance with the provisions of the 
     Public Buildings Act.
       Our Committee continues to work to cut waste and the cost 
     of federal property and leases. The resolutions include space 
     reductions, consolidations into government-owned space, and 
     reduction in project scopes, saving $225 million in avoided 
     lease costs.
       I have enclosed copies of the resolutions adopted by the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on September 
     17, 2014.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Shuster,
                                                         Chairman.
       Enclosures.
