The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways is in place and celebrating its 40th anniversary, must surely be the best investment a nation ever made. Consider this:



It has enriched the quality of life for virtually every American.
It has saved the lives of at least 187,000 people.
It has prevented injuries to nearly 12 million people.
It has returned more than $6 in economic productivity for each $1 it cost.
It has positioned the nation for improved international competitiveness.
It has permitted the cherished freedom of personal mobility to flourish.
It has enhanced international security.
It is not an exaggeration, but a simple statement of fact, that the interstate highway system is an engine that has driven 40 years of unprecedented prosperity and positioned the United States to remain the world's pre-eminent power into the 21st century.
