Jimmy Carter actually said...

"I am today transmitting to Congress proposed legislation that will significantly improve the organization and operation of the Federal government's highway and transit programs."

"I will nominate Frank Gregg, of Hingham, Mass., to be Director of the Bureau of Land Management in the Interior Department."

"To promote more efficient short-range and long-range planning by state and local officials, I propose to consolidate highway and transit planning funds."

"The reforms which are proposed in this legislation are designed to make certain that the nation has an effective transportation system."
