GOP Senaters seek defeat of Eisenhower highway plan
In Washington Senate Republicans move to derail the administration road program, aiming to back Gore's alternative after failing to win passage. Gore proposes nearly 18 billion dollars in federal state spending over five years for interstate, primary, and urban road systems, with about 12.5 billion from federal shares. The plan contrasts with Eisenhower's 138 billion federal state funding over 16 years for the interstate network.
