(UPI) Congressional Achievements Dwarfed WASHINGTON (CQ) - The list of Congressional achieve ments In 196.1 was dwarfed by the number of Items reamining on thn agenda at year's end. Neither the major issues civil rights and tax cuts nor I he most rnutlna matters annual appropriations were fully dealt with. Although II dragged out the longest session since the. Ko rean conflict, Congress cleared much less major legislation than in the two preceding Kennedy years. But among the bills en acted were some landmark pro grams. Achievements Listed The most historic aclion In Congress was the Senate's con sent to ratification of the nu clear test ban treaty. Rut Con gress In 1963 also inauguraled three major new domestic pro grams and significantly expand ed three others. Outstanding among the new programs was a bill providing aid for construction at public and nrlvale colleges. Medical school construction aid and medical student loans worn also Initiated by the With Congress In its first session. Rolh pro- orams had been sought for years. A prngram sought for the first lime in 1(16.1, a new federal at tack on mental Illness, re ceived Congressional approval. Programs Eipandril Vocational education and man power retraining pro g r a m s were expanded In meet civil rights and unemployment needs. The other expanded major pro gram broadened thn attack on Hir pollution through new fed eral controls. Congress also hurriedly pass ed the first peacetimo compul sory arbitration legislation, to avert a nationwide railslrike. Most of the other 196.1 legisla tive achievements were exten sions of the draft law, feed grains prngram, Civil Rights Commission. Mexican farm la bor program, Export Import Bank, corporate and evcise lax levels and duty - free allowance reductions. The debt limit was extended three times Tho annual authorizations i were enacted ton, but wenl through the legislative mill more slowly, and two foreign aid and spare rame nul with larger tuts than in recent years. New Frontier Setbacks While the delays on tnx reduc tion nnd civil rights were the Administration's biggest head aches, some of tho New fron tier's lending programs made no progress on Capitol Hill General school aid nnd medical care for Ihe aged through social security were granted hearings. hut never got out of roinmittce in either house. 1 w Some Administration b II 1 s ; were never considered, among them unemployment compensa lion reform and increased mini- mum wage coverage. The Ad-1 -e ministration did not even bother ; to send Congress its bill tor nn : ... lirh.in Affairs Department, had-' ly beaten in the House last year ' The bills passed by the Senate mass transit and youth cm programs were never lnouubt up in the House The Adminis tration reportedly feared they would have been defeated there, and left them stranded in the Rules Committee. Victim of l.cnnnniy Diive Hie domestic Peace Corps, one of the few brand new pro posals of liHvl, fell victim to a COP economy drive. It passed the Senate only narrowly, and apparently was not pushed In the House for fear of defeat. Other proposals which saw only partial aclion included area redevelopment aid. civil defense shelters, a wilderness system, a Land Conservation Fund, a pay raise for all Ihree branches of the Government, and nn omni bus transportation program. Administration measures were not Ihe only hills to suffer In the prolonged, listless ses sion. Even Ihe innline annual acled until the end of Ihe year long after Ihe July 1 beginning of the fiscal year for which they were to provide funds. Outlook for lt Since action begun this year can ho completed in the second session of ihe HRIh Congress, some of the bills currently stall ed are likely In be anacled in 1964. Despite the protracted bat tle waged this year hy their opponents, tho lax cut and civil rights bills are expected finally lo pass before Congress ad next year. Oilier issues may, however, he knocked aside as Congress struggles to land these big ones and rush home for Ihe 1964 elec tions. The length and Inactivity of the 1963 session evoked numer ous public criticisms and Con gressional explanations. Convinced of Long Session The injection of the civil rights issue inln the legislative process in mid-.lune convinced legislators that Ihey would face a long session, and sapped Ihe impetus In speed work. South erners were accused by some of deliberately delaying action nn other bills to improve (heir bargaining position on civil rights. Roth in Congress and in Ihe press blame for Ihe inactivity and delay was nflen placed on Congressional rules and organi zation. Reforms were proposed, hut received no significant ac tion.
