Much has been accomplished. much has been left undone. and analysts -who demand clearcut verdicts will be disappointed. The major drives of this session were to economize. to reduce expenditures without impairing our defenses. and to forge a civilrights bill. The major legislation dealt with civil rights. the mutualsecurity program. the revision of the immigration law. postal rate and pay increases. pay increases for classified employees. aid to stimulate private housing. aid to school construction. the Middle East doctrine. the protection of the FBI files. and. of course. the money appropriations to run the governmental agencies. This session has rejected some of the Presidents proposals. but some of the Presidential defeats. as. for example. in the death of the schoolaid bill. were caused largely by members of his own party and were compounded by his occasional lack of enthusiastic leadership. While everybody seemed to like Ike. no one knew for certain what Ike liked.
