According to a survey by Congressional Quarterly, the House and Senate sided with Carter on 75% of the key votes, a better record than Gerald Ford's 54% in 1976 but a 25-year low for a President whose party also controls...

In a persuasive TV presentation, he spoke of a "New Federalism" in which "power, funds and responsibility will flow from Washington to the states and to the people." And he put forward a plan for federal-state revenue-sharing that could eventually make the slogan...

President Hoover's insistence upon "limited" tariff revision produced shifts in about one-third of the rates, practically all of them upwards. In the chemical schedule, for instance, there were 39 changes???33 up, six down...
