...ISSUE of economic restraints was saved for the last few pages of the Dunlop Committee report, and one sensed that they were saving the big punch for the finale. One senses too that members of the Committee are anxious to get through recommendations on benefits, recruitment techniques, research fellows, housing and schooling, and start the Faculty talking about how to determine priorities for growth.

It would also give the House a more conservative tilt, making it more hostile to foreign aid than even the pinch-penny 90th, more sympathetic to defense appropriations, less anxious to enact fresh domestic programs, more eager to transfer federal projects to state and local control...
