Chairman. I rise to address one or two remarks to the chairman of the Committee on Roads having to do with subsection (e) of section 1. The language of paragraph (e) of section 1 attempts to redefine the term "highway" so as to include that portion of any interstate or international bridge and the approaches thereto. the cost of which is assumed by the State highway department. and to include also within the definition of the term "highway" such facilities as may be required by the United States Customs and Immigration Services in connection with the operation of such bridge. In my judgment the entire language in section 1 (e) should be stricken out as establishing a dangerous precedent. It would mean the diversion of an immense amount of highway funds for other than strictly highway purposes.
