February i4, 1967
A Proclamation
America's transportation network is a living testament to our system of free enterprise. Operating in partnership with the Federal Government, it has met every challenge of war and peace. I t has earned the respect and excited the admiration of men everywhere. Yet the decades ahead will tax our ingenuity to meet sharply rising demands for transportation services. Transportation facilities must double every 20 years. Responding to this challenge, the Congress has created a new Department of Transportation. I t s mission is to help the transportation industry develop new techniques and better integration of services. The new Department, now in its infancy, can help to assure the Nation the best, the most economical, and the fastest transportation services the world has ever seen. I n recognition of the contributions of this great industry, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 16, 1957 (71 Stat. 30), has ^e use leo. requested the President to proclaim annually the third Friday of May of each year as National Defense Transportation Day, and by a joint resolution approved May 14, 1962 (76 Stat. 69), has requested the 36 USC lee.
