On the recordMarch 12, 1998
Since the question of donor States has been raised, let me say for those 15 to 20 of our States that contribute historically much more than we get back in terms of Federal gas tax dollars, the bill that is before us now does take some small steps on a long road to fairness for those donor States. We hope that we can improve this bill further in conference from where it is now. There have been some small steps taken through the efforts of many. We are grateful for all of those efforts.
