Much of Eisenhower's record of positive achievements has been due to a Democratic Congress, which has supported him on the Bricker Amendment, foreign aid, and reciprocal trade. In contrast, many Republicans still vote against the concepts of foreign aid and of the United Nations. They have also defeated increased federal aid for vitally needed schoolrooms.
