...delighted" with the message. House Speaker Sam Rayburn (who had brushed off Ike's State of the Union message last January as "one of those kind-of-usual things") called it "great," volunteered that he was going to back "a very generous appropriation" for foreign aid. Indiana Republican Homer Capehart, who has voted against foreign aid for ten years, called the speech "highly gratifying"-and promised to vote in favor of the President's program.

Last week, at the Senate Banking subcommittee hearings on the use of foreign banks in U.S. proxy fights, SEChairman Armstrong flatly opposed the measure. Present SEC laws permit stock owners of record, such as banks or brokers, to vote stock in proxy battles, and they require disclosure of beneficial ownership only by those...
