The Honorable Jim Wright, Chairman
Subcommittee on Investigations and Review
Committee on Public Works and Transportation
House of Representatives

The Honorable Lloyd M. Bentsen, Chairman
Subcommittee on Transportation
Committee on Public Works
United States Senate

     Enclosed is a summary of information developed to
date on our current review of the highway safety improvement
program of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and
our comments on certain sections of the proposed 1975
highway legislation.

     On December 18, 1975, the House of Representatives
passed H.R. 8235, which, if enacted, will be cited as the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1975.   On December 12, 1975,
the Senate passed S. 2711, which, if enacted, will also be
cited as the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1975. Both bills
have been referred to a joint conference committee to
resolve differences.

     Our representatives were told that you were particularly
interested in our current review of the highway safety
improvement program being administered by FHWA. Although
our review is not yet complete and our conclusions are
tentative, the information we have obtained to date may
be helpful to your Subcommittee in considering H.R. 8235 and
S.2711. We will send our final report to the Congress
after we complete our review.

     We are making our review in eight States--California,
Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas,
and Washington. At least six of the States have made progress


                                                  RED-76-67
