ANNOUNCEMENT BY COMMITTEE ON RULES REGARDING AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR THE
DRIVE ACT
(Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. SESSIONS. Madam Speaker, on Tuesday evening, the Rules Committee
circulated a Dear Colleague outlining the amendment process for the
Senate amendments to H.R. 22, the DRIVE
[[Page H7273]]
Act. This will be the vehicle for consideration of H.R. 3763, the
Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act. An amendment
deadline has been set for Friday, October 30, at 2 p.m.
This is an unusual amendment process; so, I ask all Members to please
read the Dear Colleague, which can be found on the Rules Committee Web
site, very carefully and refer any questions to the Rules Committee
staff or myself, as the chairman.
I would also like to point out that, in consultation with the
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, several changes were made
to the bill, as ordered reported. A summary of those changes can also
be found on the Rules Committee Web site. Please feel free to contact
me or any of our staff members if we can be of assistance.
