Texan Lawrence Jones of Austin named deputy federal highway administrator leads a Washington study on future highway planning after the 1972 end of the federal aid program. Texas, with 3029 miles of interstate, has the largest share and $920 million in federal money already poured into its highways, with 1357.4 miles opened and 1165 miles under construction. The Bureau of Public Roads will survey and report to Congress on the post 1972 role of federal aid in highway construction.
