"I want to make clear that my signing this bill is not part of an overall policy favoring the extension of such leases."

"I would urge the House to retain the natural gas pricing program which I proposed."

"By signing H.R. 2502, I am only accepting Congress judgment that the special circumstances surrounding these leases require a 4-year extension."

"This tax would be earmarked for highway construction and maintenance and for mass transit."
