President. my fellow senator from the State of North Dakota and I would like to engage the Ranking Member of the Committee on Environment and Public Works in a colloquy regarding the importance of the transportation infrastructure of our region and our states to interregional. national. and international trade. Mr. President. we have followed with interest the development of S. 1173. the ISTEA II legislation. We have been especially interested in Section 1116. which provides planning and border project implementation grants to improve the movement of products and at international border crossings with Mexico and Canada. and along significant transportation trade corridors. As you will recall. in 1994. Congress established the Northern Great Plains Rural Development Commission to develop a tenyear plan for the economic future of our region.
