The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“STB INFORMATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT ACT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H3083 on April 10, 2018.
The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.
The publication is reproduced in full below:

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The unfinished business is the question on suspending the rules and passing the bill (H.R. 4921) to require the Surface Board of Transportation to implement certain recommendations of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation, as amended.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Mitchell) that the House suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended.
The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to require the Surface Transportation Board to implement certain recommendations of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation.''.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
