CHALLENGE TO THE MTH
ALL PREDICTIONS are for
the 90th Congress to pass fewer
new programs than has any
Congress in recent history. Yet
the challenges, responsibilities,
and opportunities of the 90th
Congress loom larger and more
demanding than those of any
recent past Congress. To meet
its challenges, the new Con
gress must be more self-assert
ive and hard-working than it
has been in recent years.
INITIALLY, the 90th Con
gress has a responsibility to
reassert Its constitutional pow
ers as the policy-making branch
of the National Government.
Previous Congresses have in
creasingly tolerated and con
doned usurpation of legislative
powers by both the Executive
and Judicial Branches. The in
itiative in proposing new legis
lation has been largely surren
dered to the President.
THE AREAS which are cri
tically in need of a reassertion
of congressional authority art
many.
FISCAL- Despite high levels
of prosperity, a rapidly expand
ing economy with near full em
ployment, and a gross national
product reaching new highs
each year, the central govern
ment continues to sink into
debt. Private predictions are for
a sharp increase next year over
the deficit of the current fiscal
year. Interest on the debt alone
will soon rise to almost $14
billion annually. The fiscal ir
responsibility of the National
Government glares through a
smoke-screen of figure-juggling
which features such gimmicks
as certificates of participation,
concealment of total war costs,
and propaganda exercises by
the Defense Department on its
imaginary savings programs.
Congress must check excessive
spending by insisting on a “fis
cal fitness” program of its own.
NATIONAL DEFENSE—Ne
glect of our Nation's strategic
defenses has reached the criti
cal stage. Despite congression
al authorization and funding,
no start has been made on de
ploying a defense system for
the United States against bal
listic missiles, although it is
now officially acknowledged
that the Soviet Union is pro
ceeding rapidly with the de
ployment of such a system. The
United States has continued to
reuuce its efforts on offensive
weapons despite the increased
threat comprised by an all-out
Soviet effort in the strategic
field and the entry of Red
China into the nuclear arena.
IN VIETNAM, the United
States continues to sink deeper
into a ground war of attrition
while refusing to use its su
periority in air and sea power
to shut off supplies to North
Vietnam by closing its ports
and by destroying the war-
making and industrial poten
tial of the Communist North.
ID REDUCE YOUR HUSBAND'S
RISK OF HEART ATTACK
prohibitions
with the enemy Is urgent,
visions are also needed to
vent use of executive
over trade to enforce United
Nation's inter-meddling
In the affairs of
tions, such as Rhodesia.
AVAILABLE TO THE CON
GRESS are the necessary tools
to do the job. Among the tools
are the much-neglected and un
used power of the purse strings,
the power of investigation and
exposure and the power to re
organize the executive bureau
cracy and to limit its author
ities.
WHILE THE TOOLS AND
the methods are at hand, only
time will tell whether the other
essential ingredients—the will
md determination— are avail-
ible.

GREAT SOCIETY PRO
GRAMS—The Congress has an
immediate responsibility to cor
rect its own mistakes. In the
forefront of these is the pro
liferation of inefficient, over
lapping, and directionless bu
reaucracy spawned in large
part by ill-considered programs
which make up the so-called
“Great Society.” The “war on
poverty,” for instance, has pre
dictably turned out to be only
a “skirmish” on poverty, but a
full-fledged “war” on taxpay
ers and workers. Now is the
time for Congress to apply the
remedies of review, retrench
ment, rewriting, and repeal.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE

restriction* on trade with the

advantage of our enemies, in
