Transportation Budget. The FY2004 Department of Transportation (DOT) budget was signed into law on January 23, 2004, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 (P.L. 108-199). It provided DOT $58.8 billion, minus a 0.59% across-the-board rescission (about $58.5 billion). The President requested $58.4 billion for DOT for FY2005. The House passed its DOT appropriation bill (H.R. 5025) on September 22. The Senate Committee on Appropriations reported out a bill (S. 2806) on September 15, 2004, with $59.6 billion for DOT. DOT is operating under a continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 107/P.L. 108-307) until November 20, 2004. Surface Transportation Reauthorization. Authorizing legislation for federal highway and transit programs was scheduled to expire at the end of FY2003. Congress has extended the existing authorization six, times, most recently to May 31, 2005 (H.R. 5183/P.L. 108-310). Disagreement over funding issues has delayed reauthorization: the White House has insisted on a total authorization of $256 billion; the Senate passed a $318 billion bill (SAFETEA; S. 1072 as amended) on February 12, 2004, while the House passed a $275 billion bill (TEA-LU, H.R. 3550) on April 2, 2004. Both House and Senate bills propose more spending than can be supported by current revenues to the Highway Trust Account; proposals to provide additional revenues have met with veto threats from the White House. Aviation Reauthorization. Congress approved H.R. 2115 (P.L. 108-176), reauthorizing key Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) functions. A key issue was protecting certain air traffic control functions from privatization. The conference agreement omitted controversial protection provisions, accepting an FAA commitment not to pursue privatizing these functions during FY2004. Transportation Security. The 9/11 Commissionâ€TMs final report included recommendations for transportation security. H.R. 10 would enact some of the Commissionâ€TMs recommendations for aviation security; S. 2845 would enact Commission recommendations on surface transportation security as well. Two passenger rail and transit security bills (S. 2273 and S. 2884) were passed by the Senate on October 1, 2004. A central policy issue in transportation security is balancing security improvements with the operational needs of transportation systems. Amtrak Issues. For FY2004, Congress provided $1.225 billion for Amtrak, and deferred repayment of a $100 million loan. The Administration had requested $900 million, while Amtrak had asked for $1.8 billion; the same requests were made for FY2005. The House Committee on Appropriations has recommended $900 million for FY2005, the Senate Committee on Appropriations has recommended $1.2 billion. Amtrakâ€TMs authorization expired in 2002; reauthorization has been stalled by disagreement over the future of federal passenger rail policy. Airline Industry Turmoil. The economy and world events have dramatically affected the airline industry. The airlines lost record amounts of money in 2002, which followed what had been the previous record loss experienced in 2001. Congress provided some short-term relief for the ailing airline industry in 2003.

JCS-5-05. Joint Committee Print. Provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. Arranged in chronological order by the date each piece of legislation was signed into law. This document, prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation in consultation with the staffs of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance, provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. The explanation follows the chronological order of the tax legislation as signed into law. For each provision, the document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date. Present law describes the law in effect immediately prior to enactment. It does not reflect changes to the law made by the provision or subsequent to the enactment of the provision. For many provisions, the reasons for change are also included. In some instances, provisions included in legislation enacted in the 108th Congress were not reported out of committee before enactment. For example, in some cases, the provisions enacted were included in bills that went directly to the House and Senate floors. As a result, the legislative history of such provisions does not include the reasons for change normally included in a committee report. In the case of such provisions, no reasons for change are included with the explanation of the provision in this document. In some cases, there is no legislative history for enacted provisions. For such provisions, this document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date, as prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. In some cases, contemporaneous technical explanations of certain bills were prepared and published by the staff of the Joint Committee. In those cases, this document follows the technical explanations. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise indicated.
