Speech #850035031

This position Is essentially a restatement of President Eisenhowers position in 1952 when he said: To bring government closer to the people we will set up these principles and adhere to them: That no Federal project. large or small. will be undertaken which the people can effectively do or be helped to do for themselves: that no Federal project will be undertaken which private enterprise can effectively undertake. that no project and no program will be started on the Federal level which can be undertaken and effectively carried through on the State or local level. I assume that Mr. Bugbee would agree that national defense. foreign trade. immigration. the coinage of money. the establishment and operation of the postal system. and the system of Federal Courts are obviously essential Government functions which cannot be performed by the individual States. There are other equally obvious functions performed by State. county. township. or municipal governments which no one has ever advocated that the Federal Government take over. The problem area lies between the two extremes.
