A favor?

Could you brief me on current initiatives
in the. Legislature on

1) Removing Lead from gasoline

2) "taxing" pollution -- e.g. a fee for

~ the use of the environment. I read recent-
ly about (and would be interested in the
specifics of) a proposal by Assemblyman

? to tax autos on a sliding
scale related to their emission.

3) why not tax ledd in gas. This would en-

' courage a less convulsive switchover to
other ways of getting sufficient octane
rating, and by the same token could probably

be pushed through that much more quickly. ;

4) any legislative work related to the issues
of the enclosed column? 4
