Plan for President

President Kennedy has asked
Secretary of Commerce Hodges
to take the lead in developing
recommendations for a message

The President gave Mr..
Hodges the assignment in a
letter yesterday which said:
1T is becoming increasingly
clear that the current difficult
ties facing all segments of the
transportation industry will re-
quire increased leadership and
additional actions on the part
of the Federal Government"
The President said recon-
mendations should include both
long-range and Short-range &C
tions Ito achieve and maintain
healthy and efficient transpor-
tation systems"
He said he was placing pri-
mary responsibility on the
Commerce Department for pre-
pairing the recommendations
since the department has stat
utory authority for the develop
ment of a national transporta-
ton policy. He directed other
Federal agencies and depart
ments to cooperate in develop
ing the recommendations, and
requested they be submitted by

least three years and could
cost as much as $40 million,
Mr.. Whitton estimated. .
A bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Broyhill and now
pending in the House would
authorize the Federal Govern
ment to pay 95 per cent
of the cost of widening the
highway. Because of the pre-
vious differences between the
State and the Bureau of Public
Roads the bill does not specify
how many lanes should be
created.
But Mr.. Broyhill has pre-
dicted that Congress would be
willing to finance as many as
four lanes, provided that Vir-
ginia consented to bear at least
5 per cent of the cost and to
assume responsibility for the
portion of the highway in Ar
lington once 1t is improved.
AS part of the compromise
achieved by Mr.. Whitton and
Mr.. Harris and their staffs,
the State consented to accept
responsibility.
In Richmond, Mr.. Harris also
expressed satisfaction with the
solution.
Shirley is extremely over
loaded and if we can get ap-
proval of eight lanes we can
improve it much quicker than
we could through another cor
ridor. And the eight lanes
would relieve the congestion in

said.
Mr.. Harris indicated he be-
