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

were enacted ton, but wenl

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.

them unemployment compensa

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. (Copyright 19(1.1.
