...public platform, Nixon fashioned his own criticism of the New Frontier-which, he announced, he would henceforth call the "Old Frontier," with its programs for "Government controls, pump priming, high taxes, bigger deficits and economic stagnation." He called for expression of a G.O.P. philosophy that would "avoid the ruts of reaction on the right and the ruts of radicalism on the other side." His main point was that it is time for the Kennedy Administration to substitute action for talk in the cold...
...voice vote, the House passed a bill to pump another $9.8 billion over the next eleven years into the federal highway program. That would permit the building of a 41,000-mile interstate network to be completed in the early 1970s.

The bill now goes to the Senate, which is expected to examine...

The $2 billion invested thus far, by a combination of French government and private capital, is expected to produce enough oil to meet all of France's needs...
Taking power in a period of economic recession, the Kennedy Administration presented a spate of recovery bills to the Congress-which proceeded to take its time about enacting them. In 1958, Republican Eisenhower declined to take drastic pump-priming measures in a similar situation-and the economy righted itself. Last week President Kennedy's Commerce Department advisers bubbled that the economy was again righting itself (see BUSINESS)-and again without drastic measures. In his press conference last week, the President was pointedly asked why he couldn't seem to get people steamed up about his economic program...
