Survey: Texans
favors change
in speed limit
DALLAS (AP) — A survey of
3,000 Texas American Automobile
Association members reveals some
drivers would like to see changes in
the state’s highway laws, including
an increase in the speed limit.
Respondents favor a law banning
open containers in vehicles and also
that truck drivers should pay for
part of highway construction costs.
Cathy McDonnell, association
spokeswoman, said 3,400 members
responded to the survey, which was
mailed to 365,000 Texas members.
Members also favored by a 2-1
margin increasing the speetl limit on
interstate highways, although 51
percent said they oppose the use of
radar detectors to avoid speeding
tickets.
“That’s probably where the law-
and-order aspect comes in,” said Mc
Donnell. “I’d say your AAA mem
bers are basically good citizens.”
Almost a quarter of the members
answering the survey said they
would support a return of the 70-
mph speed limit. But 32 percent
were in favor of a 65-mph cap.
The U.vS. Senate last Wednesday
passed a proposal that would raise
the speetl limit on rural interstate
highways to 65 tnph.
Members also support mandatory
seat belts for school buses and a law
requiring motorcycle drivers and
passengers to wear helmets, McDon
nell said.
The survey results will be used to
{ ruide lobbying efforts in the Legis-
ature, McDonnell said.
For the most part, the responses
were predictable for an organization
whose members have a median age
of 45 and an average household in
come of $46,500, AAA officials said.

AUSTIN (AP) — President Rea
gan has taken a step in the right di
rection on the oil import tariff ques
tion, Gov. Bill Clements said
Tuesday while promising to seek
Reagan’s support for a fee later this
month.
Clements said he was encouraged
by Reagan’s order that Department
of Energy officials prepare a policy
recommendation on imposing a fee
on foreign oil brought into the
United States.
For the past year, Reagan has op
posed tariff proposals from oil in
dustry officials who say cheap for
eign oil is destroying the domestic
petroleum industry.
Clements has said he favored an
import tariff since oil began its price
tumble from $28 per barrel to less
than $ 10 last summer.
“Obviously, the fact that he re
quested a position paper at least says
he has an open mind in this regard,”
Clements said.
