Eisenhower’s struggles and gains with Congress
In Washington views vary on how well President Eisenhower has pushed his legislative program through Congress. Some measures won approval, such as the St. Lawrence Seaway, while others like amendments to the Taft Hartley Act and lowering the voting age to 18 were rejected. Tax cuts and foreign trade moves diverged from his wishes. Appropriations backed his requests, and experts say he has worked better with Congress than most presidents since FDR. Love and kisses between Eisenhower and Daniel Reed add an odd note amid tax debate.
