For Support

HYANNIS PORT, Mass, July
80 (APl. - Senators Kennedy
and johnson, the Democratic
presidential and vice presiden-
tial nominees agreed today to
press a wide-scale, multi-bil-
lion dollar legislative program
in the Congress session begin
ming August 8 and to appeal
for bipartisan support for it.
"The American people will be
quick to spot obstructionist
tactics aimed at keeping us
from enacting much of this
legislation" Senator Kennedy
told a news conference in a
statement in which Senator
johnson also joined.
They noted the session is ex-
pected to last only three weeks
and indicated they will simply
have to check and see how
much really can be done.
Study Defense Funds
Senators johnson and Ken
nedy disclosed they had con-
Sidered at length proposal to
seek a big new appropriation
for defense purposes, which
has been suggested as a GAR
ring" answer to insults by So
Wet Premier Khrushchev.
Senator Kennedy said a de-
cision on whether to press this
proposal in the short Congress
session was held in abeyancS
until he and Senator Johnson
can learn how much defense
money already appropriated
has been "impounded" by the
Eisenhower administration.
Senator johnson made public
a letter he addressed Thursday
to Defense Secretary Gates ask4
ing for such report.
The letter, sternly phrased,
asked Mr.. Gates to report on
how fully defense funds are
being used and to report also
on what steps have been taken
or are planned to eliminate
"wasteful" practices at the
Pentagon.
Held Late Conference
Senator Kennedy told a
crowded news conference at the
summer home of his father that
he and Senator johnson sat UP
late discussing the legislative
program for the bob-tailed
August session of Congress. (
THE agenda is long" Senator
Kennedy said. The unfinished
business covers a wide range oS
f1elds-all of them of key inSS
portance to the American peo4
pie. :,
There are such key issues
already on the calendar Cha

ing action) as medical care fo4
the aged, housing, aid to educaA
ton, mutual security appropria-
tions. and minimum wage legis-
lation.
I'VE intend to devote our full
energies to the enactment of
this program and we will leave
our principal campaigning un-
til the end of the session. We
hope to have the cooperation
of the Republicans and their
candidate :"
Senator Kennedy said the
points outlined do not represent
the whole program planned.
Contacts Chairmen
He said he is in contact with
the House Agriculture Commit
tee exploring what farm legis-
lation it might be possible to
enact.
He said he also would con-
tact the chairmen of various
committees to explore whether
there is any possibility for en-
acting civil rights legislation.
Senator johnson said he ex-
poets Congress will meet six
days a week, starting its ses-
