We also owe it to America to provide adequate new revenues for the highway trust fund. as my proposal for a gasoline tax increase would do. so that we may keep our very important highway program on schedule. and fiscal responsibility dictates that we not fail to raise postal rates and thus end the heavy drain on general revenues for postal services which Congress has said by law should be selfsustaining. Our other revenue proposals--notably. extension of certain excise taxes and an added tax on aviation fuelalso need to be approved. Additionally. as I recently emphasized by special message to the Congress. we have compelling reasons to liberalize our immigration law during the course of this session. I remind the Congress. also. that this is World Refugee Year. Our country was one of those sponsoring this move in the United Nations. In harmony with the spirit of this resolution. and in keeping with Americas tradition of leadership in humanitarian causes. we should press forward. in this session. with the refugee legislation I have recommended to the Congress. I add two proposals of special importance to future Presidents of the United States. First is provision of Presidential office space.
