Crusade for a National Cancer Authority and safer roads
A Senate bill proposes a National Cancer Authority to coordinate a billion-dollar war on cancer. The Highway Safety Foundation, led by Richard D. Wayman, argues for mandatory seat belts, better road design, and data-driven reforms to cut traffic deaths from over 55 000 annually to 10 000 or fewer. The group calls for a highway safety fund alongside cancer and heart disease funds and urges public donations in victims’ memory.
