On the recordMay 2, 1996
I have not heard that, but that is my fear. If someone were to bring a bill to the floor of the Senate that says, let us cut the gas tax 4.3 cents per gallon and provide no assurance that that is going to go into the pockets of the American drivers and American taxpayers, guess what. We might very likely have a circumstance where that 4.3 cents per gallon would go into the pockets of the oil industry. I do not think that advantages this country. All that does is increase the debt, enrich the oil companies, and leave the drivers and taxpayers in exactly the same position they are in now.
