Whitton to retire shifts highway program focus to feeder roads
Rex M. Whitton, 68, federal highway administrator, retires effective last Friday amid a policy shift from building major new Interstate routes to improving feeder and primary roads. President Johnson lauds his role in the vast road program costing about four billion dollars annually and notes Whitton’s long career from a Missouri survey team in 192 to leading the large national effort. Whitton says the highway system remains essential and the change is not due to his retirement. He informed Commerce Secretary Connally last January of his intent to retire during 1966. resignation letter is dated Oct. 30.
