  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from

  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Alaska.


                             General Leave

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all 
Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their 
remarks and include extraneous material on H.R. 5689.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Alaska?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5689 amends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 
Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users, or SAFETEA-LU, to 
make technical corrections. This bill was introduced by myself, Mr. Jim 
Oberstar of Minnesota, Mr. Peter DeFazio of Oregon and Mr. Petri from 
Wisconsin, who worked together on the development and passage of 
SAFETEA-LU authorization bill last year.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill is necessary because the technical corrections 
included in this bill have been identified by the Department of 
Transportation and are mostly of a conforming nature, or correct 
drafting errors. The most important correction we are making is the 
strengthening of the Federal highway research program by ensuring the 
continuation of legacy research programs carried out by the Department 
of Transportation. This bill has been scored by CBO and has no 
budgetary impact.
  Mr. Speaker, I support this legislation and encourage my colleagues 
to do the same.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  This legislation simply corrects a number of oversights and drafting 
errors, technical mistakes made in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users.
  It does a number of things, clarifying the sense of Congress 
concerning Buy America requirements and the Federal aid bridge program. 
It addresses errors made in the research program funding calculations, 
the Future Strategic Highway Research Program, University 
Transportation Center Program and the biennial Conditions and 
Performance Report, and it modifies the Repeat Intoxicated Driver Law 
to allow for use of ignition interlock devices.
  These are technical matters that we have both agreed on, need to be 
adjusted. They do not result in any increase of cost over the original 
bill as passed.
  I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. DeFazio).
  Mr. DeFAZIO. I thank the ranking member. I thank the chairman for 
bringing this bill forward with such dispatch.
  The bill, as the chairman has stated, has no budgetary impact. It 
makes other technical corrections, particularly going to those where we 
research the future needs and the condition of our interstate system, 
which will be vital for future transportation initiatives.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for 
time, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) that the House suspend the rules and 
pass the bill, H.R. 5689.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
