Editor Jack Bell analyzes Kennedy's legislative outlook as Congress opens its new session. He notes likely approval of fewer than half the domestic and foreign proposals, with bipartisan support for a tax revision and debt-limit increase, but widespread doubt on civil rights, unemployment standards, and social welfare initiatives.

Kennedy to seek funds for mobile midrange missile
President Kennedy will ask Congress for under 100 million dollars to start developing a solid fuel mobile midrange ballistic missile. The system could be truck rail or barge based for NATO Europe with potential deployment overseas by American forces. It aims for a range similar to Thor and Jupiter and could reach Moscow and nearby regions. The program may cost a billion or more and be ready by 1965.
