[Honest officer... The throttle really was stuck]

I've had quite a few responses to my previous article about raising
the speed limit. I found the Popular Mechanics that it was in.

(reprinted without permission, Popular Mechanics, May 1984)

Detroit Listening Post (pg. 16)

	  DOUBLE-NICKEL ATTACK: Nine states will consider bills to
	weaken or repeal the 55-mph federally imposed speed limit,
	risking a cutback in federal highway funds. California,
	Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
	South Dakota, and Wyoming feel speed limits are a state's
	rights function.

Also in the same column was this bit:

	  SEAT BELT LAWS: Building on the success of laws passed in
	42 states and Washington, D.C., requiring child safety
	seats in cars, lawmakers in 19 states will consider mandatory
	seat belt use laws for adults in 1984, according to the
	Highway Users Federation. The states are Arizona, California,
	Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
	Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey,
	New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and
	Washington.

Also I heard this morning on the radio something about a new law passed
congress requiring all states to have a 21 drinking age or risk loosing
their federal highway funds. Did I hear right? Was this passed, or
is it up for vote?
