Lister Hill, D-AL, and Lyndon Johnson, D-TX and Senate Majority Whip; CU McFarland; SOT McFarland talking as two other men listening: "I think Congress has done a good job. When we met here in January, we had two principal goals - first, to make our nation so strong that Communist Russia would not try to expand their aggression. Second, to cut out all unnecessary expenditures and to do other things to stop inflation. I believe that we have reached these goals."; CU McFarland SOT: "But, that isn't all that we've done, we've passed many bills for the general welfare of the people including the G.I. Bill of Rights for the Korean veterans. But there is one thing I am sure we all agree upon and that is we are glad we have finished our work and can get out of Washington. I know I will be glad to get back to my farm and be among my friends in Arizona."; Note: exact day not knownVideo Length00:01:12Date Original1952-07-01Date Range1950s (1950-1959)TypeMoving ImageOriginal FormatNewsreelsLanguageEnglishContributing InstitutionSherman Grinberg Film LibraryCollectionParamount and American Pathé Newsreel Collection Rights StatementThis Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights of the Sherman Grinberg Film Library; You are free to use this Item in any way that is permitted by the copyright and related rights legislation that applies to your use; In addition, no permission is required from the rights-holder(s) for educational uses; For commercial uses, please contact the Sherman Grinberg Film Library at [email protected]
