A Proclamation

I t has earned the respect and excited the admiration of men everywhere. Yet the decades ahead will tax our ingenuity to meet sharply rising demands for transportation services. Transportation facilities must double every 20 years. Responding to this challenge, the Congress has created a new Department of Transportation. I t s mission is to help the transportation industry develop new techniques and better integration of services. The new Department, now in its infancy, can help to assure the Nation the best, the most economical, and the fastest transportation services the world has ever seen.
