AGENCIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1997, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES
_______
September 16, 1996.--Ordered to be printed
_______________________________________________________________________
Mr. Wolf, from the committee of conference, submitted the following
CONFERENCE REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 3675]
The committee of conference on the disagreeing votes of
the two Houses on the amendments of the Senate to the bill
(H.R. 3675) ``making appropriations for the Department of
Transportation and related agencies for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1997, and for other purposes,'' having met, after
full and free conference, have agreed to recommend and do
recommend to their respective Houses as follows:
* * * * *
Amendment No. 133: Deletes both House and Senate language
on the expenditure of funds for the collection of airline
statistics by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and
makes a technical change to the House engrossed bill. The
conferees note that section 6006(b) of the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) specifies that BTS
compile, analyze and publish ``a comprehensive set of
transportation statistics'' and that the conference report
accompanying ISTEA states, ``data management by [BTS] shall not
be limited to highway transportation, but is extended to
include rail, highways, ships and air transport.'' Therefore,
the conferees believe that funds provided by section 6006(b) of
ISTEA can be used for the purpose of collecting airline
statistics should the Department elect to do so.
