INTRODUCTION OF HOUSE RESOLUTION 567, COMMENDING IMPORTANCE OF SURFACE 
                TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE COMMUNITY

  (Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, last night I 
introduced House Resolution 567, commending the importance of the 
surface transportation infrastructure community. This integral aspect 
of our economy has continually provided and maintained a system of 
transportation that facilitates commerce and provides consistent modes 
of transit for the traveling public.
  House Resolution 567 recognizes the construction industry, which has 
continually provided us with a safe and efficient system of roadways; 
the trucking and rail industry, which ensures that each town and city 
in America is promptly provided with the goods and services it needs; 
and our system of public transportation, for providing us with a safe 
and viable means of travel.
  I also would like to thank the gentleman from Florida (Chairman 
Young) and the ranking member, the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. 
Oberstar), for supporting this bill.
