HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 24
(By Delegate Nesbitt)
Requesting our Congressional representatives to introduce
legislation amending the Intermodal Service Transportation
Efficiency Act (ISTEA) by eliminating the matching funds
contributed by individual states for federal fiscal years

Whereas, The states have enormous other infrastructure needs
which must be dealt with, i.e., water, sewer and schools; and

immediately invest in the country's infrastructure; and

government; and

medical bills; therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That our Congressional representatives introduce legislation
which amends the Intermodal Service Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA) by eliminating the matching funds contributed by
individual states for federal fiscal years 1994-1995; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to each
