Speed limit repeal being bogged down.



The speed limit repeal, as part of the National Highway System act 
approved by both the US House and Senate, is having a tough time working 
it's way through the conference committee that's trying to hammer out 
differences in the two bills.  The Senate's repeals the speed limit for 
cars but not trucks, the House's just plain repeals it.  

Three Senators on the conference commitee (Moynihan, Chafee and Reid) are 
fighting HARD to keep it in the final version of hte bill.  They're 
meeting right now (5:30 pm CT, Tuesday) and will probably not reach an 
agreement tonight, so calling early Wednesday is also okay.  They should 
have a final bill by Thursday.

Call their offices and let them know that's not acceptable.  All are a/c 
202:

Moynihan: 224-4451,  Reid  224-3542, and Chafee: 224-2921.

It doesn't matter which state you're from.
