I don't know how that's handled. For instance, in New York State the Teconic Highway is superbly cared for, and I think that's a state highway that has maintenance funds. I don't know whether the maintenance would fall on the states afterward or not, but I talked to the head of the office of federal highways in the Department of Commerce, Mr. Rex Whitton, and I was very nervous that Mr. Whitton would be very against the planting of flowers and trees and shrubs.
