United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan Tuesday endorsed a 5-
cent-a-gallon raise in the gasoline
tax to help pay for repair of the
nation’s highways.
The plan is expected to pro
vide more than 300,000 jobs but
the president insisted it is not a
program to provide jobs.
Reagan, in an appearance in
the White House briefing room,
also said proposals to speed up
next year’s 10 percent tax cut
from July to January are still
under consideration.
Reagan said that “after
weighing all the considerations
I've decided we should move tor-
ward with a program to repair
the nation’s major highways and
bridges.” He said he would be
consulting with Congress, where
the proposal is expected to sail
through, before submitting the
idea for congressional considera
tion.
The president said the idea
has broad bipartisan support and
added he is considering a series
of other measures to boost the
economy.
Reagan said the 5-cents-per-
gallon increase would cost the av
erage motorist about $30 annual
ly, money that would help repair
miles of aging highways and
thousands of bridges.
