There was only $140 million available for interstate repair and maintenance. That is in the Secretary's discretionary account and that is exactly what he has under the currently existing ISTEA measure, but divided among the States it is some $6 billion--with a ``b'' for billion. So it is a long way from the $140 million the Senator thought was all that was available.
