As air pollution was introduced at the beginning of this century, it is fitting that, at century's end, we should find solutions to this vexing problem.
Automobiles are a major source of pollution in our urban areas.
Mr. President, as we speak, my state of Utah is engaged in a mammoth road construction project on Interstate 15. This freeway runs right through Salt Lake City and through three counties in Utah that have struggled to meet national clean air standards. It might suggest that we should not improve or repair highways. I doubt it. While the Eisenhower vision of a vast nation connected by interstate highways may have encouraged more people to commute or vacation by car, the fact is that vehicular traffic is increasing almost everywhere.
