Congressman Panetta had asked the California Highway Patrol to immediately certify Highway 166, but the California Highway Patrol had rejected that request. Congressman Panetta had sent two telegrams, as follows: 1. To Secretary of the Air Force, Mr. Aldridge, to delay future shipments pending completion of the State hearing process and the certification of Highway 166, assuming the shipments are not in the national security interest; if they are, request the Air Force to temporarily designate 166 as an explosive route pursuant to two code sections, 49USC 1805 and 49USC 1811A. 2. To Secretary of Transportation, John Burnley, asking him to utilize his powers under the same two code sections to temporarily designate Highway 166 as the designated explosive route for the sole purpose of temporarily transporting rocket fuel to Vandenberg Air Force Base. I thanked Congressman Panetta and Gary for their efforts on behalf of the City and others in San Luis Obispo County and indicated that .this information would be forwarded to the City Council .
