345 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. viii (1963)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0345 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD This volume is designed to deal with transportation as it is today and as it may be expected to evolve within the framework of the society it serves in the decade or two ahead. Insofar as is practical within the space allotted, the problems of the transportation industry in transition are dealt with so as to include, in his- torico-economic perspective, its physical, logistical, sociopolitical, regulatory, and legal facets. The task of assembling this volume was approached with recognition of the con- tributions which may be made to our national transportation policy not only by those who have a stake in its design and implementation but also by those other professionals-who may be called public members-interested equally in sustain- ing and improving productivity and our economy generally in a free society. The organization of the volume and the nature and scope of its contents have been the responsibility of the Special Editor. Nearly every facet of the industry has here a selected spokesman-excepting pipelines, which need no individual advocate as a useful member of the transportation family. In a task of the dimensions of preparing this volume, a Special Editor usually seeks counsel from his professional friends, although reserving to himself the re- sponsibility of decision and the freedom of action accepted with the task. My friends know of my gratitude. To one of them, however, I owe a publicly stated special word of appreciation for his unflagging encouragement and quiet and dis- tinguished counsel-Colonel Francis W. Crary, USA (Ret.), who has long filled a pivotal position among transport men of all modes and of all shades of national transportation awareness as Executive Vice-President of the National Defense Transportation Association, of which the Special Editor has long been a member and which renders vital service to the transportation industry as a whole. The authors chosen to present papers for this symposium represent a cross-sec- tion of articulate leaders in transportation, industry, and education-men of ac- tion and responsibility who continue to add to their own stature and to the via- bility of the nation's economy. Each contributor accepted an assigned subject and an area of responsibility within the transportation field. Within this frame- work, each author speaks for himself alone and not necessarily for the industry as a whole or for any segment thereof. Nevertheless, the papers which follow do represent the tempered observation of men who have acquired mature discernment and understanding not only of the American political and economic body of which they are a part but also of the philosophy, operations, and machinations of men and laws which guide, control, and otherwise succor twentieth-century transporta- tion. Thus conceived, the authors are both stewards and prophets of the Ameri- can transportation heritage and its future. GEORGE Fox MOTT viii
