The letter acknowledges receipt of a previous letter regarding a provision in a pending Federal-Aid Highway bill related to outdoor advertising. An amendment was adopted removing language about exclusive advertising rights along highways. The sender expresses hope that this change will be satisfactory.

The letter ends with a request for the recipient's reaction to the mentioned amendment.
