This brings up a political
fact of life.
You know perfectly we'll that

Federal Government when the
Congress wants to follow one
philosophy of government and
the executive branch another.
In our system of govern
ment, progress is made when
the leaders of the executive
branch and the majority of the
Congress are members of the
same political party. The un-
surpassed record of the 83d
Congress is shining evidence of
this truth.
But history shows that when
the executive and legislative
branches are politically in con-
f1ict, politics in Washington
runs riot. In these conditions,
the public good goes begging
while politics is played for poll
tics sake. Progress slows or
stops. For partisan reasons,
good laws are pigeonholed. For
partisan reasons, bad laws are
passed. Meanwhile, in the eyes
of the world, we appear divided
