Cold War concerns about the containment of communism were a priority for President Dwight Eisenhower, who had been a prominent military general before becoming president. His concerns for increasing and strengthening America's national security gave impetus to the plan to create an interstate highway system.
Eisenhower, the former general, had seen how Germany's Autobahn system of highways had been an asset to their strength. He came to see highways as an important part of our country's national defense. When Eisenhower gave a speech to Congress in 1955, to promote the building of a federal highway system, he listed safety on the roads and economic advantages as strong reasons for the huge project. But he also listed a national security reason, saying: "In case of an atomic attack on our key cities, the road net must permit quick evacuation of target areas, mobilization of defense forces and maintenance of every essential economic function. But the present system in critical areas would be the breeder of a deadly congestion within hours of an attack" (Special Message to the Congress Regarding a National Highway Program, <span>February 22, 1955).

There are different ways for groups of people to suggest a new law in the United States. The process takes place on The U.S. Congress, in the legislative branch of the federal government.
Congress has two legislative bodies or chambers and anyone in both chambers can propose a new law:
- the U.S. Senate
- the U.S. House of Representatives.
The idea of the law can come from any citizen, but it has to be backed by one elected official. Once you gained the support, the law should be written on a bill.
¿How a citizen should propose a bill?
- First, you should study the background to determine whether your law will apply at the local, state or federal level.
- Then, write the proposal of law.
- When you finish, contact a representative that you think can be interested in your idea.
