On the recordMay 22, 1998
The provisions of this title I think are important, first of all, because it continues the Highway Trust Fund, the mass transit account, for an additional 6 years through the fiscal year 2005. As many of my colleagues know as well, I, along with the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Hulshof) and many others, worked to include in the conference report a continuation of the Federal Government's commitment to a clean-burning, renewable fuel, such as ethanol, until the year 2007. This conference report also simplifies the matter in which gasoline and diesel fuel tax refunds are administered. This is welcome news to registered fuel terminals and those who seek a simplified refund procedure for motor fuel excise taxes. Railroads currently face an onerous fuels tax which was imposed in the name of deficit reduction a number of years ago.
