The latest I've seen is dated February, 1998.  It's a Report to
Congress concerning The Effect Of Increased Speed Limits In The
Post-NMSL Era.  It's available as a pdf document on the NHTSA website
under the name speedlim.pdf.  Size is 406k.

The summary of this lengthy report is as follows:

-----------------------------------
The estimated increase in interstate fatalities found in this
study, while smaller in magnitude compared to the estimated
change in fatalities found in 1987 following the increase of
speed limits on rural Interstates, does follow the historical
pattern of increases in fatalities being associated with
increases in posted speed limits.
