less there is a finding that the inclusion of domestic 
materials will increase the cost of the overall project 
by more than 25 percent;

America laws for major bridge projects threatens the 
domestic bridge industry; 
(4) the Nation’s unemployment rate continues 
to hover around 5.6 percent, steps are needed to
