On the recordApril 11, 2000
Under S. 2285, lost revenues to the highway trust fund would be made up dollar for dollar from the on-budget surplus. Let's not forget that we are in this position because the President of the United States does not have an energy policy. We cannot continue to risk both the well-being of the American people and our national security. This policy of relying on overseas energy has left us vulnerable to the whims of foreign countries. Passage of S. 2285 will bring relief to working families and protect our highway trust fund. I urge my colleagues to support the legislation.
