Transportation (T) is a basic element of the US econ complex. It has been a principal factor in the expansion, growth, development of the US. It has played an important role in the ascendance of the US to position of world leadership. It would be folly to assume that T will automatically continue to contribute its optimum benefits domestically or internat'ly. Today, the T system in the US is becoming a limiting factor in our deep need to grow econ'ly at a greater rate. Yet, the T process intrinsically has the potential of helping to lead econ, soc, & pol'al development in this interdependent world. The goal of gov is to aid in producing the conditions under which the growth & progress can occur. This must be accomplished within the framework of a broader & higher goal-the perpetuation of our basic freedoms & their maximum extension to other areas of the world. This requires that the gov foster advanced efficiencies & technological developments with the minimum of regulation consistent with public protection. It requires continued reliance on private investment, profit, the forces of competition. Public promotion & investment our increasingly complex distribution system must be geared to the production of the most efficient T process & not to the narrow requirements of any segment. AA.
