           By Mr. COLE:
       H.R. 6065.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 which allows Congress to 
     ``fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.'' This 
     legislation would set the standards of portable fuel 
     containers.
       Additionally, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 allows 
     Congress to ``regulate Commerce . . . among the several 
     states.'' As portable fuel containers are objects of 
     interstate commerce, it is appropriate for Federal standards 
     to be set.
