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.
“GENERAL LEAVE” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H7397 on July 21, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:

Mr. WOLF. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks on the bill (H.R. 2002) making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and related agencies for fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other purposes, and that I may be permitted to include tables, charts, and extraneous matter.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Morella). Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Virginia?
There was no objection.
