March 23rd HOMEWORK - DUE MArch 25th - U9D1 
Read the following, listen to the audio clip, and answer the questions below on the BACK of your Yellow Red Scare Notes.
If you’ve ever driven down a highway, you may have noticed a brown sign with five stars and the title “Eisenhower Interstate System.” Launching a federal interstate system was not easy. Construction costs, ownership of property, design and regulations, and state versus federal control were all hot topic issues when Dwight Eisenhower proposed the idea. After a few years of waging these political battles, Congress signed the Federal Aid Highway Act in 1956, which launched the construction of several interstate highways. According to one of Eisenhower’s biographers, the interstate system was by far his favorite domestic program. We are now going to listen to an excerpt of a recorded interview with Stan Hyatt, a North Carolina DOT engineer who has built interstate highways. He explains his understanding of the reason why Eisenhower wanted an interstate system.

QUESTIONS
