GOP Senators Move to Forge Independent Party Policy
Senate Republican leaders led by Styles Bridges plan to draft party policy statements on major issues without Nixon or Eisenhower. The first issued with the 78th Congress will cover peaceful coexistence with the Communists, likely urging little room for negotiation with the Russians and Chinese. Bridges and Dirksen aim to define Republican views on aid to distressed areas medical care for the aged housing and other measures as they come before Congress. If policy diverges from Nixon or Eisenhower it will not block the effort.
