Is it the State transportation officials who--like those in so many other Statesfor far too long have left questions of vehicle safety in the hands of their Federal counterparts. oblivious to the conspicuous silence emanating from Washington? Is it the Federal Governmentthe National Highway Traffic Safety Administrationwhich has been given the mandate by Congress to set comprehensive standards for vehicle and passenger safety. but which bears instead the dubious accolade of negligent inaction for so long at so high a cost? How many more young children. how many more farm laborers and migrants. and how many more others must needlessly die or suffer grievous injury before destructive unconcern gives way to constructive action? How many bodies must be piled how high before empty promises and irresponsible buckpassing yields to performance? Who is to blame?
