Eisenhower speech, October 9, 1954

This is an example of a speech where Eisenhower stated the need for "a vast new highway program". This program was enacted some three years later as what we know today as the Interstate Highway System. Eisenhower's vision and campaign for such a system has been honored when the system was renamed to the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. I feel that the quality of the recording provided by the Federal Highway Administration meets the criteria. The sound file helps illustrate the vision of the man to create the system, and adds to the article on the Interstate Highway System.

• Comment—The quality is acceptable, just. Interesting how much higher the standards of public speaking are among modern-day presidents. Sorry to be a bore, but could the documentation follow MOSNUM? "1m18s, 34kbps", all jammed together, should be spaced properly: "1 m 18 s, 34 kbps". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tony1 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

  • The file description page lists it as "Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 1m18s, 34kbps", which gives the file length. Imzadi 1979 → 02:22, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
• Support I see no issues with this. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
