      COMMUNICATION FROM 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:

         House of Representatives, Committee on Transportation and 
           Infrastructure,
                                      Washington, DC, May 1, 2015.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker of the House, House of Representatives, The Capitol, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On April 30, 2015, 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 two prospectuses, including 
     one construction prospectus and one alteration prospectus 
     included in the General Services Administration's FY2014 and 
     FY2015 Capital Investment and Leasing programs, respectively.
       The Committee continues to work to cut waste and the cost 
     of federal property and leases. The resolutions include 
     projects that will reduce space and support consolidations 
     into Government-owned facilities. The space reductions and 
     consolidations will result in saving $105 million in avoided 
     lease costs. The projects as approved are within amounts 
     included in the relevant appropriations bills.
       I have enclosed copies of the resolutions adopted by the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on April 30, 
     2015.
           Sincerely,
                                                     Bill Shuster,
                                                         Chairman.
       Enclosures.
