Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
‘‘(i) the fact that the tax does not
apply in respect of some or all of such
items shall not be taken into account in
determining whether the tax applies in re-
spect of a broad range of classes of items,
and

able under subsection (a)(4) in respect of
items sold at retail in the taxing jurisdic-
tion which are similar to such item.

RULE

VEHI-
CLES.—In the case of motor vehicles, if the rate
