Senate seen revising Eisenhower program
Sen Styles Bridges predicted Congress will approve major parts of Eisenhower’s legislative program but not in the form the president wants. He cited likely revisions to defense reorganization, reciprocal trade, foreign aid, and a civilian space agency bill. Bridges expects less change to the tax legislation and foresees no massive public works spending this session. The Senate will, however, likely alter the five year extension of the reciprocal trade program.
