Clinton backs $203 billion highway bill to modernize roads
President Clinton pledges to sign the six year transportation package after Congress approved the bill by wide margins. The measure raises highway spending 40 percent, allocates $36 billion to mass transit, and includes a $500 million safety fund to reward states boosting seat belt use. It also directs Highway Trust Fund gas-tax revenues to road construction and limits fund diversions. Several lawmakers praise safety and jobs gains, while critics call the bill expensive and pork filled.
