longs to Congress.
The record of accomplishments
by the Republican Congress is a
long one, but here is a summary
of major achievements up to Au-
gust 81
TAXES-TaXes are being re-
duced by nearly $7,5 billion this
year-the largest savings to tax
payers in any year in our history.
These tax savings have been
achieved in this way; 10 percent
cut in individual income taxes, cf-
fective January l, 1854, and the
ending of the corporation excess
profits tax on December 81. 1853.
both of which were made possible
as the result of slashes made in the
previous Administrations spending
program; the excise tax reduction,
effective April l, 1854, which
lowered rates on most items to 10
percent and on household appli-
ances to 5 percent, and the general
tax revision giving 1927 million re-
lief to individuals and $536 million
to corporations.
ATOMIC ENERGY Atomic
Energy Act of 1916 has been
brought up to date and strength
ened. The program has three main
purposes: to permit limited eX-
change with our allies Of informa-
ton about our atomic weapons de-
velopment; to lay the groundwork
for implementing President Essen
hower's proposal for an interna-
tional atomic pool, and to permit
development and use of atomic
energy by private industry under
Acc licenses.

SPENDING And The BUDGET

which ended June 30, show that
Federal expenditures totaled $67.6
billion, revenues $64.G billion, leav-
ing a deficit of slightly over So

lion less than Truman planned, and
the deficit was SOS billion less

of sweeping Eisenhower economies
in all branches of Government.

COP Geared TO Face Voters
With Confidence Founded On
Imposing Legislative Record

The Republican S3rd Congress
the Can Do" Congress-has estab-
lished an outstanding record Of
legislative achievement.
On this record, the Republican
Party will go to the American
people in November with conf
dence that President Eisenhower
will be given a working COP ma
jority in Congress to carry on the
mammoth task of restoring a
healthy economy to the United
States.
Pledges made by the Eisenhower
Administrator have been re-
deemed by the Woodworking 83rd,
which passed the major portion of
the Presidents program during the
second session which began last
January 3.
The Fair Deal spending spree
has been halted; initiation has been
checked; long-suffering taxpayers
will benefit from the first compre-
hensive tax revision in this cen
fury; the national defense has been
frightened; social security benefits
are being expanded; home owner
ship has been made easier; farm
prices are being stabilized; the st.
Lawrence Seaway is on the road to
reality; Communists and security
risks have been expelled from Gov
eminent, and the people at long
last have seen honesty, integrity
and forthrightness restored in
Washington. Above all, the Nation
is at peace.
The Eisenhower Administrations
remarkable legislative record was
achieved despite the fact that Re
publicans for a time We're in the
minority in the Senate, and held
only a slim majority in the House
of Representatives. And it was ac-
complished despite Democrat eff
forts to sabotage a number of key
proposals put forward by the
President.
Democrats DID succeed in kill
ing important segments of the Re
publican program; the right Of 49,
year-olds to vote; statehood for
Hawaii; health reinsurance, and re-
vision Of the Taft-Hartley Act.
New Approach Aids Program
But the foundation Of the Essen
hover program has been laid-the
undoing Of 20 years Of centralized
Big Government philosophy and a
new approach has been made to
the Lincoln doctrine of government
Of, by and for the people.
When Mr.. Eisenhower entered
the White House, he made it clear
that he believed intellectually in
the three-way balance Of Federal
power, and he refused to embrace
the Truman Administration policy
of debating to Congress. The dig
nifty which Mr. Eisenhower has re-
stored to the White House as
the symbol Of the executive power
has been enhanced by his stead
fast refusal to detract- by word on
deed from the dignity which be-

aid business and employment in
the Great Lakes area.
SOCIAL SECURITY-A greatly
expanded and improved Social Sc
culity program is about to take eff
feet, increasing benefits and bring
ing additional millions Of Ameri-
cans into the program.
HOUSING Congress approved
housing program which will
greatly accelerate private building,
principally through lowered down
payments on both old and new F.
IA-approved homes, with 10 adj
ditional years to repay mortgages.
Congress also provided for one
year extension of the public hous-
ing features Of the program, re-
stricted to housing for families
displaced by Stun clearance prof.
ects.
HEALTH-The President signed
bill on August providing for
broad expansion of the vocational
rehabilitation program. Under the
new law, the number Of physically
handicapped persons to be rehabili-
tated each year will be increased
from 10000 to 100000.
FOREIGN AIDA one-year eX-
tension of the Mutual Security
military assistance and economic
and technical development program
will enable the President to con-
tinue this important phase Of over
all foreign policy.
