Senate determined to pass tough CAFE plan

Wow, Reid and Bush agree! America needs to get tough on foreign oil dependency

"I know the auto industry is still wavering on this issue," Reid told a Washington think tank. "I met with the CEOs of the Big Three automakers last week, and here is what I told them: The debate on raising CAFE standards is over. It will happen."

"Perhaps if they had joined us instead of fighting us these last 20 years, they might not be in the financial mess they're in today," Reid said. "But now is their chance to do the right thing -- both for their bottom line and for the American people. And if President Bush is truly serious about raising CAFE, he'll help us pass this bill."
