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 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.
