Sen. Cooper Says U. S. Should Build Highway to Alaska
NEW YORK. (P)—Senator John S. Cooper (R.-Ky.) chairman of a sub-committee of the Senate committee on public works, said Monday the next session of Congress should enact legislation to provide for correction of deficiencies in the country's strategic road network. "It is very necessary that the next session of Congress adopt an affirmative position rather than one of mere negative criticism toward the Inter-American Highway, the Alaska Highway and roads within and leading to Alaska, as necessary elements of our national security," he told the 33rd annual convention of the American association of state highway officials. "Agreements should be reached between the governments of the United States and Canada for the provision of suitable connecting roads between the United States and the southern terminus of the Alaska Highway, and for the proper terminus of the Alaska highway itself," he continued.
