AAA trying to sabotage federal speed limit repeal.
----------
The National Motorists Association has devoted all its resources to
repealing the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Limit. Major efforts have
been focused on including the repeal legislation in the National Highway
System Act.
Successful in the US Senate, the NMA has shifted it's energies to passage
in the House.
On the day of the first vote on the speed limit provision (Sept 7th), the
American Automobile Association has attempted to undermine the speed
limit repeal campaign by supporting alternative legislation, legislation
developed by proponents of federal speed limits.
Despite the AAA's well-heeled campaign, the National Motorists
Association prevailed in the Surface Transportation Subcommittee and
repeal of the 55 mph federal speed limit was included in the House
version of the National Highway System Act by a vote of 26-9!
