Im pleased to join my colleagues from Michigan in offering an amendment which I understand the committee will accept. I thank the managers. The first amendment allows improvements and construction on the United States approaches to the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor. Canada. to be eligible for federal funding. As my colleagues may know. the DetroitWindsor border crossing sees one of the largest. if not largest. volumes of international trade in the world. As such. the corresponding volume of traffic is tremendous. particularly truck traffic. The amendment does not allocate funds to repair the years of wear and tear. simply allows currently publicly owned streets and facilities to compete for federal funding.
