                               RESOLUTION

 
Recognizing the American Highway Users Alliance on the occasion of its 
               75th anniversary, and for other purposes.

Whereas in 1932, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., then president of General Motors 
        Corporation, and other civic leaders had the foresight to found the 
        National Highway Users Conference for the purpose of working ``for good, 
        all-weather roads in every state'';
Whereas in 1970, the National Highway Users Conference merged with the 
        Automotive Safety Foundation to form the Highway Users Federation for 
        Safety and Mobility, which in 1995 was renamed as the American Highway 
        Users Alliance (known as the ``Highway Users'');
Whereas since its founding, the Highway Users has been a persistent and 
        outspoken proponent for adequate funding of the Nation's highway 
        infrastructure and a consistent voice for motorists who use the highways 
        for leisure, family, and business purposes and for those who depend on 
        the Nation's transportation infrastructure for commercial purposes;
Whereas the Highway Users has voiced the interests of motorists and businesses 
        on all major national highway and traffic safety legislation over the 
        past 75 years, including the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which 
        authorized the Interstate Highway System and established the Highway 
        Trust Fund;
Whereas the Highway Users has been a consistent force for protecting the 
        integrity of the Highway Trust Fund and State highway trust funds;
Whereas research conducted by the Highway Users has documented the promise and 
        potential of modern United States highways in improving safety, 
        facilitating emergency evacuations, and growing the national economy; 
        and
Whereas the Highway Users has been a strong advocate in favor of strengthening 
        the national highway network by promoting a strong Federal role in 
        mobility and safety and by advocating policies that benefit highway 
        users: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the American Highway Users Alliance on the 
        occasion of its 75th anniversary;
            (2) commends the many achievements of the American Highway 
        Users Alliance; and
            (3) encourages the American Highway Users Alliance to 
        continue its tradition of excellence in service to motorists 
        and the transportation industry.
