agencies, modes of transportation, and transportation goals and
planning processes that are not easily addressed or funded
within existing surface transportation program categories.
(4) Projects of national and regional significance have
national and regional benefits, including improving economic
productivity by facilitating international trade, relieving
congestion, and improving transportation safety by facilitating
passenger and freight movement.
(5) The benefits of projects described in paragraph (4)
accrue to local areas, States, and the Nation as a result of the
effect such projects have on the national transportation system.
(6) A program dedicated to constructing projects of national
and regional significance is necessary to improve the safe,
secure, and efficient movement of people and goods throughout
the United States and improve the health and welfare of the
national economy.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the Buy America test required by section 165 of the
Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (23 U.S.C. 101
note) needs to be applied to an entire bridge project and not
only to component parts of such project;
(2) the law clearly states that domestic materials must be
used in Federal highway projects unless there is a finding that
the inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of
the overall project by more than 25 percent;
(3) uncertainty regarding how to apply Buy America laws for
major bridge projects threatens the domestic bridge industry;
(4) because the Nation's unemployment rate continues to
hover around 5.6 percent, steps are needed to protect American
workers and the domestic bridge building industry; and
(5) the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a et seq.) was
designed to ensure that, when taxpayer money is spent on direct
Federal Government procurement and infrastructure projects,
these expenditures stimulate United States production and job
creation.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) there has been considerable progress over the past 25
years in reducing the number and rate of alcohol-related highway
facilities;
(2) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
projects that fatalities in alcohol-related crashes declined in
2003 for the 2nd year in a row;
(3) in spite of this progress, an estimated 17,013 Americans
died in 2003, in alcohol-related crashes;
(4) these fatalities comprise 40 percent of the annual total
highway fatalities;
(5) about 250,000 are injured each year in alcohol-related
crashes;
(6) the past 2 years of decreasing alcohol-related
fatalities follows a 3-year increase;
(7) alcohol-impaired driving is the Nation's most frequently
committed violent crime;
(8) the annual cost of alcohol-related crashes is over
$100,000,000,000, including $9,000,000,000 in costs to
employers;
(9) a Presidential Commission on Alcohol Impaired Driving in
1982 and 1983 helped to lead to substantial progress on this
issue; and
(10) these facts point to the need to renew the national
commitment to preventing these deaths and injuries.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, in an
effort to further change the culture of alcohol-impaired driving on our
Nation's highways, the President should consider establishing a
Presidential Commission on Alcohol-Impaired Driving--

have received enough information about alcohol-impaired driving
and the way in which alcohol affects individual blood alcohol
levels; and
(3) only 28 percent of the American public can correctly
identify the legal limit of blood alcohol concentration of the
State in which they reside.

maintaining a transportation system that meets the goals of
safety, mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and
environmental protection.
(2) Federally sponsored surface transportation research and
development has produced many successes. The development of
rumble strips has increased safety; research on materials has
increased the lifespan of pavements, saving money and reducing
the disruption caused by construction; and Geographic
Information Systems have improved the management and efficiency
of transit fleets.
(3) Despite these important successes, the Federal surface
transportation research and development investment represents
less than 1 percent of overall Government spending on surface
transportation.
(4) While Congress increased funding for overall
transportation programs by about 40 percent in the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, funding for
transportation research and development remained relatively
flat.
(5) The Federal investment in research and development
should be balanced between short-term applied and long-term
fundamental research and development. The investment should also
cover a wide range of research areas, including research on
materials and construction, research on operations, research on
transportation trends and human factors, and research addressing
the institutional barriers to deployment of new technologies.
(6) That it is in the United States interest to increase the
Federal investment in transportation research and development,
and to conduct research in critical research gaps, in order to
ensure that the transportation system meets the goals of safety,
mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and
environmental protection.
