John W. Snow, president and chief executive officer of CSX Corporation, in these comments to the conference "Moving America: A Look Ahead to the 21st Century," recommends a strategic approach to transportation and emphasizes the interrelationship of transportation modes. He suggests that the marketplace must determine the allocation of traffic among the various systems. He points out that government has played a vital role in transportation, citing the advances that resulted from deregulation of some modes. He underlines the need for a review of the nation's maritime policy and recommends that a decision be made on whether both a shipbuilding and a maritime industry could be supported.
