In a televised address to the nation, President George W. Bush tonight is expected to announce an executive order reducing the maximum highway speed to 55 mph.
You heard the speech was to be about immigration? Well, we will see.
Another two-term Republican, Richard M. Nixon, created the first 55 mph cap in January 1974.
“It was a good idea then, and it’s time for it again now,” said Vice President Dick Cheney, about another matter.
Cheney in 1973 was assistant director of the White House Cost of Living Council.
