FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 5, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON SIGNING THE
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ACT OF 1976
THE ROSE GARDEN
3:03 P.M. EDT
Secretary Coleman, distinguished Members of
the Congress, distinguished guests:
I am signing today a bill, H.R. 8235, which
authorizes more than $17.5 billion dollars for the
extension of the Federal Aid to Highways program. Many,
many thousands of jobs will be directly, as well as
indirectly, supported by the legislation which will provide
for key links in the interstate highway system, upgrade
existing highways and develop public transit facilities.
Primary responsibility for selecting projects
and administering this grant program will continue to rest
with the State and local authorities. While this Act
does not include everything that this Administration pro-
posed to the Congress, it is an important step toward
meeting America's transportation needs.
For that reason, Mr. Secretary and members of
the Congress, I am very pleased to sign this legislation
which is a very significant piece of legislation and a very
important one as far as our economy and our transportation
facilities is concerned.
END
