Abstract
<h3>Congress—</h3> Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield (Mont) called for an in-depth examination of all existing major federal programs by the Senate's committee chairmen during the congressional session. "The time seems to be very ripe" for such a move, Mansfield wrote the chairmen. "I do not anticipate requests for sweeping new legislative approaches in the 90th Congress. "I would hope to see in the first session the beginning of a major re-examination of what we have done in legislation during the past few years." He named these federal programs as prime subjects for a "top to bottom" shake-up: Medicare, health research, water and air pollution, civil rights, education and urban and rural aid programs, the draft system, foreign aid, agriculture subsidies, income and other forms of taxation. He added that "desirable refinements" must also be sought in programs of "older vintage," presumably such programs as social security and public welfare. Mansfield
