His party leaders had urged that he speak out publicly in the immediate fu ture in behalf of his budgetary program before Congress. The United States at this point should not inject itself di rectly into threatened new diffi culties in Cuba and the Domini can Republic, but should rely on the Organization of American States to deal with the situation. He ordered an immediate gov ernment study of the legal situa tion involved in the Supreme Court ruling against the industrial security clearance program. The President's discussion of what he considers to be the shift ing attitude of Congress in favor of budgetary balance was touched off by a reporter who noted that when he first proposed a balanced budget last January, his plan was received with more than a little skepticism. The reporter also pointed out that it now seems likely that the Treasury would get more revenue in the year beginning today than originally expected and that Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson had said recently the Congress would appropriate less than the administration had re quested. Against this background Eisen hower was asked whether he could now look to a balanced budget -in fiscal I960 and even the possibility of a federal sur nlus. He answered the question in several different ways but the total reply seemed to be yes.
