Legislation

The mere enactment of a new law, the mere initiation of a new program does not of itself bring about all desired results.

I have sent a message to the Congress, asking for favorable action on these proposals at an early date.

I am transmitting herewith, for the consideration of the Congress, draft legislation carrying out these principles, providing equality of opportunity among carriers, removing artificial barriers to the realization of the inherent…

I urge that the Congress give prompt consideration to these proposals.

The tax program we have submitted is, in fact, consistent with all legitimate ends.

I commend the report for your consideration in connection with the budget request and the need for new legislation to stimulate research in the field of water resources at the colleges and universities.

It is hereby amended by substituting for Section 3 thereof the following:

I urge the Congress to enact at the earliest opportunity the Youth Employment Act which is so vital to the welfare of our young people and our Nation.

I earnestly hope that the Congress will give early and favorable consideration to this proposed legislation.

Use the full power of the executive branch of the Government to assure the early enactment of District home-rule legislation.

The record of the Republican Party is written on the bills that never become law, on the things we failed to do.

While I naturally wanted to see the Senate version of the minimum wage bill enacted into law, I and the colleagues supporting me were willing to accept a reasonable compromise.

I am proud to say very heavy Republican support, but it was done and studied thoroughly and passed.

We are not considering legislative controls on the processes in our economy.

I most earnestly hope that the Congress will support this particular part of the bill to the full.

I haven't put in a bill.

We now have sound and forward-looking legislation in the Agricultural Act of 1954.

I conclude that the bill is contradictory and self-defeating even as an emergency relief measure.
