Unfortunately for the people of this great country in a perilous period yet unequaled in our history. this 83d Congress will blot our record with the reputation of having worked harder and produced less original legislation than any of its predecessors. The Republicans hailed their legislative program as "dynamic" and "forwardlooking." It was as "dynamic" as the dodo. as "forwardlooking" as yesterday. It was not conceived for the benefit of the best interests of all the people. but for big business and the l5rivileged people. Of all the major legislation enacted. only five bills would fall into the category of positive law. In the first session. the tidelands oil and emergency refugee bills became law. In the second session. the St. Lawrence Waterway. the revision of the tax structure. and the Democratic antiCommunist bills were enacted.
