Congress finds that— 
106 STAT. 4800 
PUBLIC LAW 102-580—OCT. 31, 1992 
(1) a sound and strong infrastructure is the essential core 
and foundation of the Nation's economic well-being and growth 
and its ability to compete in the global economy; 
(2) the Nation's infrastructure has been sorely neglected 
for years, and there is a desperate need at every level of 
government to increase infrastructure investment for the bene-
fit of future generations; 
(3) it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to 
provide coordination, direction, and assistance in the restora-
tion and maintenance of a sound infrastructure, including a 
national transportation system involving surface, air, and water 
transportation and facilities for restoration and preservation 
of water quality, prevention of damages from floods, and provi-
sion of hydroelectric power and mimicipal and industrial water 
supplies; 
(4) it should be a goal of the United States to develop 
a national intermodal transportation system that moves people 
and goods in an efficient manner; 
(5) the Nation's future economic direction is dependent 
on its ability to confront directly the enormous challenges of 
the global economy, declining productivity growth, energy 
vulnerability, air pollution, water pollution, and the need to 
rebuild the Nation's infrastructure; 
(6) a national intermodal transportation system is a coordi-
nated, flexible network of diverse but complementary^ forms 
of transportetion which moves people and goods in the most 
efficient manner; 
(7) a national intermodal transportetion system will 
enhance the abilitv of United Stetes industiy to compete in 
the global marketplace by reducing transportetion coste; 
(8) all forms of transportetion, including the transportetion 
systems of the future, will be full partners in the effort to 
reduce energy consumption and air pollution while promoting 
economic development and productivity growth; 
(9) investment in the infrastructure of the United Stetes 
will pay immediate and long-term dividends in jobs and eco-
nomic productivity and provide the foundation for the Nation's 
continued leadership in the global economic competition of the 
21st century; 
(10) infrastructure investment differs significantly from 
other forms of government spending because it creates new 
wealth for the Nation; 
(11) the wealth and economic strength of the United Stetes 
is in the Nation's infrastructure which provides the foundation 
for all aspecte of life; 
(12) failure to invest in the Nation's infrastructure has 
placed the United Stetes in danger of becoming a service-
oriented economy rather than having a strong and mdependent 
manufacturing-based economy; 
(13) foreign competitors in the global economy have sur-
passed the Nation's productivity growth through massive infra-
structure investmente, and many forei^ competitors have 
committed to making midti-trillion dollar infrastructure invest-
mente in the future; 
(14) the improvement of the Nation's coastal porte is critical 
to ite ability to compete in the global economy through tiie 
efficient import and export of goods; 
PUBLIC LAW 102-580—(Xrr. 31, 1992 
106 STAT. 4801 
(15) the improvement of the Nation's inland waterway sys-
tem is a centred part of a national intermodal transportation 
system which permits the efficient transport of goods between 
markets within the Nation and between inland markets and 
coastal ports; 
(16) the prevention of massive flood damages to the 
Nation's cities, industries, cultural facilities, mimicipal facili-
ties, and transportation system plays a vital role in the protec-
tion of the Nation's infrastructure and the efficient conduct 
of commerce; 
(17) the provision of municipal and industrial water supply 
plays a crucial role in the well-being and functioning of the 
Nation's communities and industries and in the health, environ-
ment, and quality of life of the Nation; 
(18) the generation of hydroelectric power contributes 
significantly to the Nation's supply of low-cost energy and plays 
a significant role in reducing air pollution; 
(19) the provision of recreational opportunities and the 
protection ana enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat and 
environmental values contribute to the well-being of the people 
of the Nation; and 
(20) improvement and protection of the Nation's infrastruc-
ture is an essential, proper, and necessary role of government 
at all levels.
