Another provision that I am concerned about in the bill, it allows the Secretary of Transportation to obligate funds for runway construction even if the Committee on Appropriations has specifically prohibited the runway from being built. This section is really referring to a proposed sixth runway at Denver International Airport. Denver officials contend that this is needed. There is some argument about whether it is needed or not. There is tremendous concern about noise created by this airport that was never anticipated by the city of Denver.
