The subcommittee met at 10:15 a.m., pursuant to notice, in room 2167, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. John C. Kluczynski, chairman of the subcommittee, presiding. Mr. KLUCZYNSKI. The Subcommittee on Roads will please come to order. The Subcommittee on Roads begins a series of hearings today which is intended to lead to the enactment of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1972. This could be the most far-reaching and important piece of legislation to be produced in the highway field since the passage of the 1956 act creating and funding the Interstate Highway System. We laid the groundwork for much of this year's legislation in the 1970 act. We changed the matching ratio on most Federal-aid work, except the Interstate System, to 70-30 starting in fiscal year 1974. We began financing some of our safety activities from the Highway Trust Fund in that act. The Highway Trust Fund itself was extended to 1977 in title III of that act which was under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Ways and Means. We started a new urban system. We further asked for a number of studies to be submitted early this year calling for recommendations on, among other things, apportionment, a revised Federal-aid system and a future Federal-aid program from 1976 to 1990. This program is intended to lead into a "catching up" process on all those roads which had been put into a relatively lower priority during the construction of the Interstate System. We have received some of these studies and some we have not. A committee bill has not been introduced because we have not received all of these studies. The needs study has been sitting in the Office of Management and Budget for some time and that is the most important of the studies. We know what most of the costs are because the State reports have been forwarded to us. We will, of course, proceed with or without the OMB recommendations. Our schedule this year is extremely tight what with two nominating conventions and a presidential election in addition to House and Senate campaigns. We intend to complete all of our highway and safety hearings by March 29, 1972. It is intended that a bill be reported out of this subcommittee soon thereafter. The schedule of all hearing dates has been sent out in the mail and is available in the committee room for those interested. |
