Eisenhower Signals Budget Balance and Conditional Tax Cut
President Eisenhower told Congress the budget will balance this year and next, but a tax cut is justifiable only if it does not push the government into the red. He outlined plans for highways aid, farm and school programs, slum clearance, and immigration reform, urging Congress to grant longer term aid and statehood moves for Hawaii and Alaska. He also proposed a bipartisan commission to study voting rights and more refugees from Greece, Italy, and Iron Curtain escapees. The message was read as the president recuperates from a heart attack.
