SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal Government has a responsibility to promote 
        the general welfare of the United States by supporting 
        interstate, national, and international commerce through the 
        use of Federal resources to assist States, Indian tribes, and 
        local governments in the development and maintenance of 
        physical infrastructure, including roads, highways, byways, 
        bridges, and other transportation-related structures;
            (2) there exists a unique legal and political relationship 
        between the United States and tribal governments and a unique 
        Federal responsibility to American Indians and Alaska Natives;
            (3) under law and practice, the United States has 
        undertaken a trust responsibility to protect and preserve 
        Indian tribes, Indians, and tribal assets and resources;
            (4) this Federal responsibility includes working with 
        tribal governments and their members to improve the condition 
        of the physical infrastructure used by tribes for their 
        economic well-being;
            (5) the demonstrated need for improvements to physical 
        infrastructure on Indian land is acute, and the Federal 
        Government should assist in making the improvements and in 
        developing tribal and private mechanisms to achieve the goals 
        of economic self-sufficiency and political self-determination;
            (6)(A) Indian tribes of the United States are served by 
        over 50,000 miles of roads nationwide;
            (B) the road system of the Bureau of Indian Affairs 
        constitutes about 21,000 miles, or 42 percent, of roads serving 
        Indian tribes;
            (C) State and county roads make up the largest percentage, 
        about 49 percent, of roads serving Indian tribes; and
            (D) tribal roads account for approximately 5 percent, and 
        private and Federal roads (other than Bureau of Indian Affairs 
        roads) make up the small balance of approximately 4 percent, of 
        roads serving Indian tribes;
            (7)(A) the Indian reservation roads program established 
        under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 
        1991 (Public Law 102-240) is targeted at the Bureau of Indian 
        Affairs road system that constitutes less than \1/2\ of the 
        total mileage of roads on Indian reservations in the United 
        States;
            (B) only 11 percent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs roads 
        are rated as being in good condition; and
            (C) of the unpaved Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, 90 
        percent are known to be in poor condition and none of the 
        unpaved roads are rated as being in good condition;
            (8)(A) annual funding of the Indian reservation roads 
        program, through the Highway Trust Fund, as authorized by the 
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, has become 
the major source of funding for new road construction on Indian land in 
the United States;
            (B) the Bureau of Indian Affairs road construction budget 
        has virtually vanished; and
            (C) the Bureau of Indian Affairs continues to provide 
        minimal funding of about $25,000,000 per fiscal year for road 
        maintenance of its road system;
            (9)(A) in the late 1950's, Bureau of Indian Affairs road 
        construction and maintenance funding reached a high of 
        $10,000,000 per fiscal year for the first time in history;
            (B) by 1979, Bureau of Indian Affairs road budgets for 
        construction and maintenance reached their peak of almost 
        $80,000,000 per fiscal year, and then declined rapidly;
            (C) in the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 
        (Public Law 97-424), the funding levels for the Indian 
        reservation roads program stabilized at about $100,000,000 
        through the Highway Trust Fund for each of fiscal years 1984 
        through 1986;
            (D) the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation 
        Assistance Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-17) reduced the annual 
        Highway Trust Fund authorization to $80,000,000 for each of 
        fiscal years 1987 through 1991; and
            (E) in almost every fiscal year since fiscal year 1992, the 
        Indian reservation roads program has been funded at 
        $191,000,000 per fiscal year;
            (10)(A) Indian reservation roads are needed to support 
        economic development activities, education, health, and 
        virtually every aspect of reservation life; and
            (B) some of the most scenic highways in the United States 
        are on Indian reservations;
            (11)(A) at current and historic levels of funding, Indian 
        road conditions continue to fall behind national standards; and
            (B) to help alleviate some of the poor transportation 
        conditions on Indian reservations in the United States, there 
        is a need to increase the level of funding, from the Highway 
        Trust Fund, for the Indian reservation roads program to 
        $300,000,000 per fiscal year, from the current level of 
        $191,000,000 per fiscal year; and
            (12) Federal assistance described in this section should be 
        provided in a manner that recognizes the rights of Indian self-
        determination and self-governance by providing the assistance, 
        to the maximum extent practicable, directly to Indian tribal 
        governments.
