HORN, Mrs. SEASTRAND, Mr. BONO, Mr. DREIER, Mr. CALVERT, Mr.
MCKEON, Mr. DOOLITTLE, and Mr. MOORHEAD) introduced the following

A BILL
To provide financial assistance to Mexican border States
for transportation projects that are necessary to accom-
modate increased traffic resulting from the implementa-
tion of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘NAFTA Infrastructure
Responsibility Act of 1996’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) the United States Customs Service collects
over $600,000,000 per year in duties, fees, excise
taxes, and fines from crossings of the border of the
United States and Mexico;
(2) although the United States Customs Service
has collected increased duties, merchandise fees, and
revenues from other commerce-related activities be-
cause of the ratification and implementation of the
North American Free Trade Agreement, these in-
creased revenues have not been accompanied by Fed-
eral funding for improving transportation facilities
along the border of the United States and Mexico to
ensure the free and safe flow of trade destined for
all States and regions of the United States;
(3) because of NAFTA, all 4 States along the
border of the United States and Mexico will require
significant investments in highway infrastructure ca-
pacity and motor carrier safety enforcement at a
time when such States face extreme difficulty in ob-
taining funds to maintain current highway condi-
tions;
(4) the full benefits of increased international
trade can be realized only if delays at the border of
the United States and Mexico are significantly re-
duced; and
