SEC. 848. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LONG-TERM CON-
TRACTING FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELS. 
It is the sense of Congress that long-term contracting 
for alternative fuels is in the best interests of the Depart-
ment of Defense and is a wise use of taxpayer resources. 
Long-term contracts provide stability for industry, which 
allows them to drive the cost down. Long-term contracts 
also provide some insulation to the Department of Defense 
from fuel price increases. The Department of Defense has 
asked for the authority to enter into long-term contracts 
for alternative fuels, and it is the sense of Congress that 
this is a valuable proposal and should be supported.
