        RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY CONVEYANCE VALIDATION ACT OF 2003

  The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 1658) to amend the Railroad Right-of-
Way Conveyance Validation Act to validate additional conveyances of 
certain lands in the State of California that form part of the right-
of-way granted by the United States to facilitate the construction of 
the transcontinental railway, and for other purposes.
  There being no objection, the Clerk read the bill as follows:

                               H.R. 1658

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Railroad Right-of-Way 
     Conveyance Validation Act of 2003''.

     SEC. 2. VALIDATION OF ADDITIONAL RAILROAD CONVEYANCES, SAN 
                   JOAQUIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

       Section 4 of the Railroad Right-of-Way Conveyance 
     Validation Act (Private Law 103-2; 108 Stat. 5061) is amended 
     by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(9) The conveyance entered into between the Central 
     Pacific Railway Company and the Southern Pacific 
     Transportation Company and the Bank of America, as trustee of 
     the last will and testament of Aaron Herschel, recorded 
     September 27, 1945, in volume 942 at page 104 of the official 
     records of the county of San Joaquin.
       ``(10) The conveyance entered into between the Central 
     Pacific Railway Company and the Southern Pacific

     Association, recorded November 13, 1957, in volume 2016 at 
     page 149 of the official records of the county of San 
     Joaquin.''.

  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, was read 
the third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the 
table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. This concludes the call of the Private 
Calendar.
