Highway safety study begun on larger vehicles on federal highways
WASHINGTON UPI A Republican critic said a 30 day quickie study is underway on the safety and maintenance impact of permitting wider trucks and buses. Rep Fred Schwengel noted the DOT formed a committee after pressing for views on the measure which would raise width limits from 96 to 102 inches and set a federal length cap at 70 feet. He warned of serious highway safety problems if bigger vehicles are allowed, while Col Richard McCarthy called the bill special interest legislation. In Tulsa two students filed lunar land claims in the Sea of Tranquility, claiming part ownership as taxpayers based on Ranger 8 photos and first application but were rejected for residence requirements.
