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 Gen-
eral Motors Corporation, and other civic leaders had the 
foresight to found the National Highway Users Con-
ference 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, fam-
ily, 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 mo-
torists 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 High-
way 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 docu-
mented the promise and potential of modern United 
States highways in improving safety, facilitating emer-
gency 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
