THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3644), memorializing the Congress of the United States to equalize among the states the distribution of federal gasoline taxes, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

MEMORIALIZING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO EQUALIZE AMONG THE STATES THE DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL GASOLINE TAXES CONTRIBUTED TO THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY TRUST FUND.

Whereas, in 1995 South Carolina received fifty-two cents of each dollar it contributed in federal gasoline taxes to the Federal Highway Trust Fund; and

Whereas, for the past five years, South Carolina has averaged a return of seventy-five cents on each dollar contributed to the Federal Highway Trust Fund; and

Whereas, most states receive more than each dollar contributed to the Federal Highway Trust Fund. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the Congress of the United States expeditiously pass legislation that equalizes the distribution to each state of federal gas taxes contributed to the Federal Highway Trust Fund.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and each member of this state's Congressional Delegation.
