FHWA signs historic agreement with Israel.

In a ceremony on January 11, 2007, Israel became the second Middle Eastern nation to sign a memorandum of cooperation (MOC) with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Engineers from FHWA now will share road-building techniques and best practices with their Israeli counterparts through a growing

international partnership for training and information exchange.

FHWA Administrator J. Richard Capka signed the agreement at the agency's Washington, DC, headquarters with representatives of the Israel National Roads Company, which is that country's equivalent to FHWA.
