PITTSBURGH (AP) --  John McCain called Tuesday for the federal government to
free people from paying gasoline taxes this summer ...

To help people weather the downturn immediately, McCain urged Congress to
institute a ''gas-tax holiday'' by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax
and 24.4 cent diesel tax from Memorial Day to Labor Day. He also renewed his
call for the United States to stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
and thus lessen to some extent the worldwide demand for oil.

Combined, he said, the two proposals would reduce gas prices, which would
have a trickle-down effect, and ''help to spread relief across the American
economy.''
