    In subsection (a), the text of 49:1653(g) (last sentence) is omitted 
as executed.
    In subsection (a)(4), the word ``ensure'' is substituted for 
``assure'' as being more precise. The words ``of the United States 
Government'' are substituted for ``Federal'', and the words ``United 
States'' are substituted for ``national'', for clarity and consistency.
    In subsection (b), the words ``The Secretaries shall report on April 
1 of each year'' are substituted for ``They shall, within one year after 
the effective date of the Act, and annually thereafter, report'' to omit 
executed words and to specify the date of April 1 because the President 
prescribed April 1, 1967, as the effective date of the Department of 
Transportation Act (Pub. L. 89-670, 80 Stat. 931) by Executive Order No. 
11340, March 30, 1967 (32 F.R. 5443). The word ``consider'' is 
substituted for ``determine'' for consistency.
