1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), General Motors Corporation 
has filed on behalf of the National Automated Highway system Consortium 
(NAHSC) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) written 
notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal 
Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties and (2) 
the nature and objectives of the venture. The notifications were filed 
for the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery 
of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified

Kokomo, IN; Hughes Aircraft Company (a subsidiary of General Motors

Transportation (DOT) request for application initiated to implement a 
provision of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 
1991. The objective of the resultant cooperative agreement between the 
NAHSC and DOT is to make major improvements in the safety, productivity 
and environmental quality of the U.S. surface transportation system. 
The NAHSC intends to promote enhanced international competitiveness of 
U.S. industry and encourage the civilian sector to capitalize on 
decades of public investment in defense technologies, focussing on 
systems designed feasibility, definition and prototyping of a safe, 
reliable, cost-effective automated highway system capable of 
substantially improving throughput, safety and air quality along high-
demand travel corridors.
