Senator William Proxmire says the GAO ruling enforcing a 1940s law will push federal officials to use private cars or public transit. He cites a 1982 survey showing about 190 officials receive chauffeur service at an annual cost of 32 thousand dollars each, totaling 3.4 million for taxpayers in 1982. Proxmire urges extending the law to include the vice president and seeks agency heads to outline compliance plans.
