Quillen Pushes For Extra Road Funds In Hearing
Rep James Quillen of Kingsport pressed for additional highway funding after studying federal road needs for his district and state. He argued to the House Subcommittee on Roads that the Johnson administration request of 231 billion dollars over two years was insufficient, citing district mileage and programs on U S routes, forests, Indian reservations, and public lands. He packed his briefcase with statistics and pointed to a needed 48 million more, enabling a robust two year program. The committee endorsed 2.38 billion for federal highway aid, including the extra 44 million Quillen sought, though final passage remains uncertain before signing by President Johnson.
