On the recordApril 23, 2002
I applaud Senator Baucus for his efforts to enhance the flow of revenues into the highway trust fund. In particular, his suggestion that the time has come to redirect the 2.5 cents in ethanol tax that is now going into the general fund back to the highway trust fund is both timely and constructive. As we reauthorize the surface transportation program over the coming months, I look forward to working with Senator Baucus and others on the broader issue of the Nation's shifting fuel mix and the implications of that trend on the highway trust fund.
