Dear President Clinton:

Global warming is a serious threat to our planet. We need your help to stop it.

Light trucks and sports utility vehicles, like the new Ford Excursion, should be required to meet the same fuel efficiency standards as other passenger cars.

Making SUVs, mini-vans and other light trucks meet the same fuel economy standards as passenger vehicles would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 tons over the lifetime of each vehicle.

Please veto the transportation appropriations bill if it contains language which continues to freeze CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards.

I know that there is intense opposition from the auto industry that wants to keep doing business as usual, but we must take action now.

The Earth hangs in the balance.

Sincerely,
