"The saving in lives during the past year provides an added incentive for the Government and the Nation to persist in the endeavor to make our vehicles, our highways, and our drivers safer."

"Improvements in the Nation's highways are also making a major contribution to progress in traffic safety."

"On this Labor Day, I say to my fellow Americans who have provided us with so much in the past and from whom we expect even more in the future--thank you."

"It certainly will give to those 30-plus million American workers a greater degree of certainty as they face retirement in the future."
