Do-Nothingest Congress Tops 1955 Session
The 84th Congress nears completion having passed six major measures: pay raise, Formosa policy, German and rearmament treaties, excise tax extension, reciprocal trade, and postal pay raise with presidential veto on the latter. Support for the President ran 64% among Republicans and 57% among Democrats. only 50 of 485 members opposed him in most votes, with Langer and Morse the notable critics. Investigations fizzled and key energy and disaster aid bills faded amid partisan clashes and stalled medical insurance efforts.
