           By Mr. GRAVES of Missouri:
        H.R. 3940.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article 1 Section 8
       ``. . . to regulate commerce . . . among the several States 
     . . .''
       ``. . . to make all Laws which shall be necessary and 
     proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers . . 
     .''
       This legislation seeks to promote the use of natural gas in 
     the trucking industry, a vital mode of transporting goods 
     across the country. The use of such a cheap, domestic source 
     of energy will be beneficial to both businesses and 
     consumers. Therefore, it will affect the commerce of the U.S. 
     in a positive way.
