HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
This chapter does not include motor busses, interstate trucking
facilities or airplanes within the protection of existing law.
Motor busses and trucks already carry a huge amount of interstate
commerce. It is reasonable to presume that much interstate freight
and express will soon be carried by air.
Attention is directed to the consideration of the extension of
the laws now applicable only to railroads to these other interstate
facilities. 80th Congress House Report No. 304.
