  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, Congress has sent a clear message to the 
American people that it is time for Government to raise CAFE standards 
for the first time in 32 years. We have worked very hard during the 
past year--negotiating language to increase the statutory standards by 
40 percent. It is important that the entire Federal Government follow 
the guidelines set forth in H.R. 6 in order to provide regulatory 
certainty for the domestic auto industry, including manufacturers, 
suppliers, and dealers.
