On the recordMarch 14, 1996
I recognize the concerns raised by the Senator from Pennsylvania. In providing the $300 million in appropriations for the emergency fund, it was the committee's intent to provide sufficient funding to cover a range of unforeseen disaster, such as the damage that has occurred on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia. When critical highways are impacted to such a degree that they must be closed and repaired, it is important that Congress ensures the availability of funds to restore the flow of commerce and individuals who are dependent on them. I would be glad to work with the Senator from Pennsylvania to ensure that the conference report on this legislation reflects the Congress' intention that the Interstate 95 fire should be considered as a disaster by the Federal Highway Administration.
