Shift in Cash
From Highway
Fund Charged

Senator Gore. Democrat Of
Tennessee. today charged the
administration with Imisapply-
ing money from the Federal
Highway Trust Fund Ito make
pretense Of q balanced budget"
The Senator. chairman OF
the Senate Subcommittee on
Roads. asserted that last year
the misapplication Of the fund
began with the withdrawal Of
funds TO pay part Of the cost
Of the operation Of the De-
partment Of Labor"
This year, he said. the adj
ministration proposes to grab"
about s6s million from the
fund.
The Senator spoke before the
American Roadbuilders Assoc
citation at the Sheraton Park
Hotel.
He explained that the fund
was established to remove from
the financing Of the $37.6 bill
lion interstate highway con-
struction program "the un-
certainties Of annual appro-
priation procedures"
Thought Concept Approved
I'VE In the Congress thought
at the time that the admins
tration had also agreed 70 this
concept" he continued. 1T
now appears. however, that the
administration did not"
The Senator, who will con-
duct q hearing on the program
beginning tomorrow. also said
that he was somewhat dis
turbed" by the fact that little
actual road construction had
been accomplished.
He also said that he found
Il somewhat difiicult 10 ind out
from the Bureau Of Public
Roads just how much roads
had been built already under
the program.
He said that he intended 10
find out during the hearings
the actual status Of the l3-year
program.
The statistics submitted by
the bureau. he said. were
highly misleading because
they don't refer to miles Of
completed highway at all"
'Project Miles"
They are so-called project
miles. instead Of facility miles"
he added. so far as ] know.
the bureau has never sub
mitted to the committee or re-
leased 10 the public any Stats
tics which reveal the actual
number Of miles Of highway
which. have been completed
and are available for use by
the public"
The Senator also was critical
OF the varying standards Of
construction proposed by the
States. Some Of the States.
he said. plan more elaborate
and costly construction than
do others.
Yesterday. Federal Highway
Commissioner Bertram d. TALL
amy placed Q possible 20-year
life span on the Nations multi
billion dollar superhighway
program.
Mr.. Tallamy said also that
one Of the most important
needs for the success Of the
program Is public acceptance Of
such features Of the system as
limited access expressways.
The 4l.0O0-mile superhigh-
way network previously had
been mapped for Q l3-year
duration. Secretary Of Com
merce Weeks disclosed early
this month the estimated cost
would be at least s37.6 billion
as compared with t27.6 billion
