President Kennedy is consider
ing a campaign to bring before
the country the accomplish.
ment of Congress and to sci
priorities on the domestic front
| for next year.
He is thinking about sending
some cabinet officers and other
key administration officials out
around the country this fall to
conduct public seminars in a
number of major cities.
Their two-fold objective would
be to:
l. Explain the impact of
legislation enacted by Congress
this year in such fields as pub
lie housing, urban development,
education, unemployment in
surance and the like.
2. Solicit views and drum UP
support for legislation in the
session of Congress convening
next January.
Would Generate Pressure
One effect of such an effort,
administration officials hope,
would be to build up public
pressure for congressional ap-
.proval next year of some Ken
nedy programs that did not
fare so well in the session that
ended early Wednesday - for
example, medical care for the
aged tied to social security.
1t ecame known at the
Presidents vacation headquar-
terS here today that his aides
are informally sounding out a
number of Democratic Cover
nors on the idea.
The proposed seminars would
be organized by Democratic

Brazilian Hints
Tie With China

TOKYO, Aug. 18 (AP). -
Brazil's Vice President Joao
Goulart indicated today his
visit to Red China is a step to-
ward diplomatic relations with
the Peiping regime.
Setting out from Peiping on
a Chinese tour, Mr.. Goulart
said Brazil will maintain ian
independent foreign policy to
establish relations with people
of various countries irrespective
of different ideologieS."
Brazilian President Janio
Quadros has already begun
negotiating with the Soviet
Union to resume diplomatic
relations after a 14-year break.
The vice president, who was
quoted by the Communist New
China News Agency, had high
praise for Mao Tze-tung. Brazil
and China, he said, ARE far
away from each other, but this
means only a geographical
distance which cannot prevent
our two countries from getting
closer"
