FACE TO FACE
Since early August, I have talked
face to face with many thousands
of Texas men and women. I have'
visited every section of the State.
I have made some 200 talks before
civic and service clubs, chamber of
commerce, farmers’ groups, wo-
men’s clubs, school assemblies,
trade and professional organiza-
tions, and numerous informal gath-
erings.
I have spent my time visiting
with the people of Texas—talking
with them—listening to them.
» ♦ *
TWO PURPOSES
In addition to the sheer pleasure
of seeing so many of my fellow-
Texans, my travels have had twe
serious purposes:
To give an accounting of my
stewardship to the people who em-
ploy me to represent them in the
Senate.
To learn from the people them-
selves—the final source of all gov-
ermental power in our Nation—
their views on matters certain to
come before the next session of
Congress, starting January 6.
I am convinced that, from both
standpoints, my traveling has been
well worth while.
m m v
FAR-REACHING DECISIONS
Congress will have to make
many far-reaching decisions dur-
ing the coming session. In fact, we
will be faced with an almost un-
precedented legislative log jam. A
big stack of unfinished business—
left over from the last session
will be waiting.
Much of this business cannot be
postponed further. Action is going
to have to be taken within the next
few months on many matters of
great importance.
The kind of action taken will af-
fect us all for years to come.
* * *
BIG PROBLEMS
New farm legislation will have to
be written.
Steps must be taken to insure
our national security.
The foreign aid program must
be reassessed.
Money matters—tax and budget
proposals—must be gone into
thoroughly.
A fair and realistic world trade
program must be undertaken.
The fight against communism at
home and in the free world must bo
carried forward._
• * •
AVOID DEPRESSION
The question of how to keep the
Nation prosperous will be a major
concern of Congress during its 1954
session.
I have found, in my travels over
Texas, that people generally aro
feeling uncertain and uneasy about
business. Danger signs are visible
in lowered farm prices, declining
exports, falling retail sales, a con-
siderable decrease in the rate of
new construction.
These are signals that we cannot
afford to ignore.
* * m
FARM PROGRAM
I feel sure that, without regard
for partisanship, Congress will
resist strongly any attempt to
weaken the present farm program.
I want to apply the same yard-
stick to farm legislation that I try
to apply to other issues coming be-
fore Congress. I do not think we
should abandon policies of proven
soundness because of partisan con-
siderations. I do not think we should
oppose suggestions for improve-
ment because of partisan considera-
tions.
I hope we can work out a farm
program on that basis. It accm^ to
me the only sound basis.
» • *
PERSONAL
I have traveled over Texas many
times. Never before have I been re-
ceived so warmly by all groups
and all schools of thought. If there
is any appreciable percentage of
folks who are not pleased with the
work that is carried on in the office
of the Senior Senator, I have not
been able to find them. I am pro-
foundly and humbly grateful.
