State of the Union Speech Highlights
. WASHINGTON Ufi Textual
highlights of President Eisen
hower's prepared State of the
Union message to Congress
Thursday.
Topical subheads are not the
President's:
UNITY-PEACE
In the past year, there has
been progress justifying hope,
both for continuing peace and
for the ultimate rule of freedom
and justice in the world. Free
nations are collectively stronger
than at any time in recent years.
Just as nations of this hemis
phere . . . have closed ranks
against imperialistic Communism
and strengthened their economic
ties, so free nations elsewhere
have forged new bonds of unity.
SOVIET THREAT
The massive military machines
and ambitions of the Soviet
Communist bloc still create un
easiness in the world. All of us
are aware of the continuing re
liance of the Soviet Communists
on military force, of the power
of their weapons, of their pres
ent resistance to realistic arma
ment limitation, and of their
continuing effort to dominate or
intimidate free nations on their
periphery .
FOREIGN TRADE
We must expand International
trade and investment and as
sist friendly nations whose own
best efforts are still insufficient
to provide the strength essential
to the security of the free world
. Barriers still Impede trade
and the flow of capital needed to
develop each nation's human and
material resources. Wise reduc
tion of these barriers la a long-
term objective of our foreign
economic policy. ...
ANTI-COMMUNISM
We shall continue to ferret out
and to destroy Communist sub
version. We shall, in the process,
carefully preserve our traditions
and the basic rights of our citi
zens. BIPARTISANSHIP
As never before, there is need
for unhesitating cooperation
among the branches of our gov
ernment. ... In less perilous days
of the past, division of govern
mental responsibility among our
great parties has produced a
paralyzing Indecision. We must
not let this happen in our time.
In all areas basic to the
strength of America, there will
be to the extent I can assure
them cooperative, construtcive
relations between the executive
and legislative branches of this
government.
ECONOMY
The past year 1954 was one
of the most prosperous years in
our history. Business activity now
surges with new strength ... the
transition to a peacetime econo
my is -largely behind us. The
economic outlook is good.
TAXES
Last year we had a large tax
cut and, for the first time in 73
years, a basic revision of federal
tax laws. It is now clear that rf;
fense and other essential govern
ment costs must remain at a level
precluding further tax reductions
this year. ... I am hopeful that
such reductions can be made next
year.
ROUSING
As part of our efforts to pro
vide decent, safe and sanitary
nqusmg lor low-income families,
we must carry forward the hous
ing program authorized during
the 83rd Congress. We must also
authorize contracts for a firm
program of 35,000 additional pub
lic housing units in each of the
next two fiscal years.
HEALTH
By special message on Jan. 24.
I shall propose a coordinated
program to strengthen and im
prove existing health services.
This program will continue to
reject socialized medicine. It will
emphasize individual and local
responsibility. Under it the fed
eral government will neither
dominate nor direct, but serve
as a helpful partner.
SCHOOL AID
Such factors as population
growth, additional responsibilities
of schools, and increased and
longer school attendance have
produced an unprecedented class
room "hortage; This shortage is
of immediate concern to all of
our people. Positive, affirmative
action must be taken now.
shall forward a special message
. . . presenting an affirmative
program dealing with this short
age.
LABOR MINIMUM WAGE
In the past five years we have
had economic growth which will
support an increase in the fe -eral
minimum wage. In the light of
present economic conditions, I
recommend its increase to 90
cents an hour. I also recommend
that many others, at present ex
cluded, be given the protection of
a minimum wage . . .
I renew my recommendation
of last year for amendment of the
Taft-Hartley Law. I especially
call to the attention of the Con
gress amendments dealing with
the right of economic strikers to
vole in representation elections
and the need for equalizing the
obligation under the act to file
disclaimers of Communist affil
iation.
STATEHOOD
As the complex problems of
Alaska are resolved, that territory
should expect to achieve state
hood. In the meantime, there is
no justification for deferring the
admission to statehood of Hawaii.
I again urge approval of this
measure.
SUFFRAGE
We have three splendid oppor
tunities to demonstrate the
strength of our belief in the right
of suffrage. First, I again urge
that a constitutional amendment
be submitted to the states to re
duce the voting age for federal
elections. Second, I renew my re
quest that the principle of self
government be extended and the
right of suffrage granted to the
citizens of the District of Colum
bia. Third, I again recommend
that we work with the states to
preserve the voting rights of citi
zens in the nation's service overseas.
