1 2 BY WEIDMAN
1 3 A House Resolution encouraging the United States

1 9 2000-2001 budget proposal to shift approximately $1.3
1 10 billion from a projected surplus of approximately $3

1 12 loss of approximately $15.9 million in federal highway
1 13 funding for Iowa; and
1 14 WHEREAS, a decrease in federal highway funding
1 15 would hinder Iowa's efforts to maintain and improve

1 24 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
1 25 That the Congress of the United States is urged to
