Because the leadership of both parties went all-out for it, the House finally passed Ike's bill, but only after disclosing deep and bitter resistance to freer foreign trade inside both parties. The bill itself was moderate. As sent to the Senate, it extends the basic reciprocal trade laws until June 30, 1958, and grants the President power to reduce most tariffs by 5% in each of the next three years.

...although Nikita Khrushev's rise to power may not estrange the two nations, pessimists are wrong if they see the events in Moscow as leading to an all-out world war.

In the long run, the erosion of repeated U.S. failures of the Indo-China type could be nearly as disastrous as all-out thermonuclear war. Therefore the U.S. must do more than maintain its strategic deterrent: it must also establish a tactical deterrent. It must be able to punish local aggressions with such speed and force that the Communists will finally call a halt. This is the concept of the double deterrent...
