I’m going to go with the most current option avaiable for the Admin to clarify whether or not this is Bush’s program. I found...well, today’s White House Press Briefing Handy. Here’s a snip:

“Q Well, I have two questions. Teamsters President Hoffa has called the Bush administration’s test program to allow Mexican trucks unrestricted access to U.S. highways, in his words, “a disaster; all we’re asking is that Mexican trucks and truckers meet the same standards as American trucks and drivers.” My question: Why do the Teamsters have to go to court to try to make Mexican truck drivers meet the same drug screening, physical evaluations and hazmat certifications as U.S. truckers?

MR. SNOW: There are a number of things that the Department of Transportation is involved in, in trying to maintain and ascertain and guarantee the safety of any trucks that are on U.S. highways. I don’t think that I will buy lock, stock and barrel what the President of the Teamsters Union has to say about possibly competing trucking operations. Nonetheless, they have done a filing — I would direct you to take a look at what the Department of Transportation has had to say to respond to some of the factual allegations contained in your question.”

*** I’d say that was the most current and best available option for the WH to clarify, re-phrase, or spin who’s program this is. So that’s that.
