Nixon said Meany's resigna-

Volpe's telegram said he had
made a final determination that
Texas was not in compliance
with the Highway Beau-
tification Act in 1971 and that he
was withholding a portion of the
state's highway aid funds
“These funds will be restored
if Texas has anadequate statute
and agreement in effect by May
6.” Volpe said.
He said he respected Meany
as a labor leader, but added
As President. I cannot permit
any leader representing a spe-

powerful, to torpedo and sink a
program that is needed to pro-

in reshaping the board as a
body representative of only the

Meany-that the board have
