Senate Backs Federal Tire Safety Standards
The Senate voted 70 to 1 to authorize federal safety standards for automobile tires, sending the measure to the House. The plan would require the commerce secretary to set minimum standards for new tires and retreads, with a rollout by 1969 after two years of research, and would allow updates by 1969. Senator Gaylord Nelson supported the bill, while industry critics urged voluntary measures first.
