        DRIVING AMERICA                                                     1

        Your   Car,   Your   Government, Your Choice


This book  sheds light on environmental and other issues, including global
warming,  that will deeply affect the future of the automobile and of all
American  industry. You can agree or disagree with the author's views on
these issues, but you will certainly benefit from reading this book.
               -Hon.  John D. Dingell, member, U.S. House of Representatives

Well-written, well-documented,  and  fun  to read. Johnston details the
inevitable clash between man's desire for freedom of mobility and the gov-
ernment's ever-increasing tendency to want to regulate all aspects of motor
vehicles. A great 'ride' and a must-read for all who cherish their right to buy
and drive the car or truck of their choice.
                    -Diane  Steed, president, Coalition for Vehicle Choice, and
      former administrator, U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Jim  Johnston combines  meticulous  research, homely wisdom,  and  long
experience in the trenches to bring us an informative yet entertaining account
of America's schizophrenic relationship with the automobile. This  book
should be high on the reading list for anyone who drives, or votes, or both.
                 -Marina  v. N. Whitman, professor of business administration
                               and public policy University of Michigan, and
         former vice president and group executive, General Motors Corporation

Global warming  and the other issues covered in this book will have a major
impact on the types of automobiles and trucks Americans will be able to buy-
and what they cost. By reading this book, people will be better prepared for the
fight to preserve the right to choose and use the vehicles that meet their needs.
                               -Frank  E. McCarthy, executive vice president,
                                    National Automobile Dealers Association

James  D. Johnston  is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute,
a  former vice president  of General  Motors   for industry-government
relations, a former special assistant to the president of the Automobile
Manufacturers  Association, and a former  foreign service officer with the
U.S. Department   of State.
