“The Senator from Virginia simply says that all moneys above the $139 million--that is a clerical error, not a law error--be treated under the ISTEA 1991 law, which is the law of the land today. We should not, as the U.S. Senate, endeavor in this brief period to rewrite that ISTEA 1991 distribution formula. That should await the next piece of legislation which is coming through in the orderly, bipartisan process, through the authorization committee. I make the proffer right now to withdraw the amendment if the Senator will revise the bill before the Senate, such that it reflects that in 1991, the ISTEA law governs the distribution of those funds over and above $139 million in this bill.”
