Building the Interstate Highway System

Nixon talks about why the roads were built but now the roads are used for transcontinental movement and more horsepwoer. He states that more people are using the highways which causes more wrecks which is increasing the amount of injuries and deaths on the road. The court system is backed up because of the civil suits from drivers. He plans to solve the problems of safe and speedy travel, intercity communication, farm to market movement and accessing highways. He feels that if the local and State governments work together they can deal with the problem.
