Summary

Declares that it is the sense of Congress that the Department of Energy take necessary steps to provide a set-aside of middle distillate fuels equal to eight percent to each of the States. Declares that the Department of Transportation should establish, on an emergency basis, a uniform national minimum truck weight standard of not less than 80,000 pounds, and a length standard of not less than 60 feet for single trailers and 65 feet for dual trailers. Declares that the Interstate Commerce Commission should further modify its diesel fuel recovery program to assure that pass-through provisions of the freight rate surcharge be passed to subhaulers. Declares that the Governors of the respective States and the President should delay unnecessary summer training programs by National Guard and United States Army and Marine Reserve units, or restrict their movements to the nearest appropriate training center, and to add the middle distillate fuels thereby saved to State set-aside programs.
