Can anyone think of a technical field that has not improved its efficiency
in 30 years?  The only one I can think of is our highway system.  It is
hard to believe that in 1965 I could get from point A to point B as fast
or faster than today. 

While the debate rages in Washington over raising the speed limit on
emotional issues, the question is what to do about a highway system that
has not improved at getting people more quickly to their destination in 30
years.  We need to improve highway speeds!  If that means doing more
research on highway or automobile design, then it should be done. 

We should set a national goal of improving highway speeds and developing 
technogies to keep safety high.
