LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
The Secretary of Commerce,
Washington, January 7, 1958.
Hon. Sam Rayburn,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Speaker: I transmit herewith data regarding reimbursement for certain highways on the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, prepared by the Bureau of Public Roads in cooperation with the several State highway departments.
This report has been prepared in compliance with section 114 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which declares the intent of Congress to determine whether or not reimbursement should be made to the States for highways, toll or free, which have been completed or put under construction on the Interstate System between August 2, 1947, and June 30, 1957.
This report, as directed by the legislation, includes information on the mileage of highways eligible for consideration for such reimbursement, their cost, and depreciation.
Sincerely yours,
Sinclair Weeks,
Secretary of Commerce.
