Eisenhower Sees Mixed Yet Constructive Legislative Session
The administration highlighted a reduced 1958 appropriation total, noting $26 billion less than two years earlier. It touts major reforms in tax, energy, and social security, praises St. Lawrence Seaway approval, and credits Congress with restraining anti-Communist and foreign policy excesses while supporting at least a one-year extension of foreign trade law. The President aims to renew battles in January as Senate and House asserted themselves on policy. The overall session is judged good, conducted openly with debate and hearings.
