contributions that national planning efforts have provided 
to the United States. 
Whereas President Thomas Jefferson commissioned his Sec-
retary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin to provide a new 
vision for transportation that would unite the young Re-
public; 
Whereas 2008 marks the bicentennial of the report that Sec-
retary Gallatin presented to President Jefferson, which 
proposed transportation improvements not as ends in 
themselves but as means to further national unity, which 
was part of the promise of the American Revolution, as 
James Madison, writing in The Federalist No. 14, em-
phasized, ‘‘Let it be remarked . . . that the intercourse 
throughout the Union will be facilitated by new improve-
ments. Roads will everywhere be shortened, and kept in 
better order; accommodations for travelers will be multi-
plied and meliorated; an interior navigation on our east-
ern side will be opened throughout, or nearly throughout, 
the whole extent of the 13 States’’, and whose words 
have served as a worthy reminder of the needs for trans-
portation infrastructure since that time; 
Whereas Gallatin incorporated the legacy Benjamin Franklin 
bequeathed to the country through his improvements to 
the Postal Service, including Franklin’s route surveys, his 
placement of milestones on principle roads, and his devel-
opment of shorter transportation routes; 
Whereas the United States, as a result of Gallatin’s legacy, 
has a record of successful infrastructure partnerships, in-
cluding— 
(1) the partnerships that built the Erie Canal, which 
vastly reduced transportation costs to the interior;
