I would really like to believe that, but I'm skeptical. It looks like this is not the only pork in the bill (http://tbm.thebigmoney.com/articles/juicy-bits/2008/10/01/bailout-baloney) by a long shot. Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aKd0vyGN8L2k&refer=us) seems to think that these provisions were added specifically to buy votes on the bill, and a quote from Boehner's office suggests that they're right:

"Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner, said the inclusion of the tax breaks 'will increase the appeal of the package for our members.'"

I'll look to see if I can find what bill the Senate bill was attached to because now I'm curious.
