You apparently missed page 7.  Keep reading.

But as I pointed out in the email copy you also sent (a nasty habit,
how about toggling that feature off) if in your mind the report
provides no fodder for the speed kills crowd it simultaneously
deflates the raising-speed-limits-reduces-fatalities crowd's argument.

Early data is in for 1997 and it shows an increase in fatalities on
the interstate system where, not so coincidentally, speed limits have
also increased.   Just more stuff for some to try and explain away as
nonsense while their own date (from the same sources no less) supports
their views.  No wonder the speed crowd has no audience in the
legislator.  As heavy footed as many legislators are, they still know
a phoney when they hear it.

The URL for that last document is:

if you're interested.  It's only 4 pages.
