Democrats Seek Details Before Endorsing Ike Foreign Policy
Democratic leaders in Congress after a bipartisan White House meeting said they want more details before backing President Eisenhower's foreign policy and defense programs for 1955. Johnson noted need for long range foreign trade, defense manpower, and military pay raises, while showing sympathy for Asia aid but awaiting further information. The conference, from 2:38 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., included leaders and committee members. Johnson warned general terms require more specifics, and he urged department heads to meet with key committees before the State of the Union on January 6. The talks aimed for constructive, not final, bipartisan effort amid unresolved shaping of foreign aid and defense plans.
