MEMORANDUM
July 24, 1990
TO: SENATOR DOLE
FROM : JIM WHITTINGHILL
SUBJECT: CAFE STANDARDS BILL
The auto industry is buzzing with rumors and concerns about the CAFE Standards Bill (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) sponsored by Senator Bryan. It will simply set higher fuel efficiency requirements on automobiles.
You will recall that this was the issue over which the domestic auto manufacturers sold out the Senate Republicans in the Clean Air Bill. In return for keeping CAFE off of Clean Air, Senator Mitchell promised to bring it up later as a free standing bill, or as part of a broader global warming bill. He also promised to give at least three weeks notice to Senator Levin prior to moving to the bill.
He gave notice to Senator Levin three weeks ago, and that's why all the attention. However, Martha told me this was done only to relieve Senator Mitchell from the obligation, freeing him to try to get the matter up before the end of the year.
Republican Senators, especially Nickles, Lott and McConnell, may ask you about the prospects. It appears Senator Mitchell would need to get cloture on both the motion to proceed and on the bill, as well as using up the entire 60 hours of post-cloture debate and layover days to finish the bill. So, we won't see it before the August break.
A possible vehicle could be Transportation Appropriations. But, the Subcommittee will meet no sooner than this Thursday, and the full Committee could not consider it until sometime next week.
