On the recordApril 1, 1998
Mr. Chairman, let us make no mistake about it. Under this proposal, first of all, it is deficit-neutral. Secondly, for those who have been struggling to repeal the 4.3 cent gas tax, we would take that to the Committee on Ways and Means and, in fact, repeal the 4.3 cents. Make no mistake about it. In addition to it, let me just suggest one thing. I believe our Governors of our States are actually capable of being able to coordinate the transportation needs of our Nation. We believe that they can do this as Republicans and conservatives for a whole variety of functions. We absolutely believe they can get it right in highways. In fact, if we pass this amendment, they will have more money and less Federal regulations in order to get the job done.
