                        CONSUMER AUTO RELIEF ACT

  (Mr. ROGERS of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to discuss the 
Consumer Auto Relief Act, or CAR Act, a bill that I plan to introduce 
later today. This bill will provide a variety of incentives to the 
purchasers of new cars, and will incentivize lenders to loan the money 
to finance these new automobile purchases.
  This legislation is about giving American consumers much needed tax 
relief. It's about stimulating consumer credit markets. It's about 
restoring consumer confidence. It's about jump-starting our stalled 
economy, and it should be a part of the new economic stimulus package.
  I ask the House to support this bill.
