...increase this trickle, Senator Edward Martin (R-Pa.) proposed to introduce to congress in the next few days a bill increasing the maximum tax-reduction to 25 percent. It will be attached as a rider to a current bill in the House permitting the Red Cross to give free benefit performances...
...Cambridge, Taft appeared at the Patriots' Day exercise, smiled indulgently as a rider in a wig and tricornered hat arrived on his way to warn Lexington the British were coming. He kept right on smiling as a band of anti-Taft Harvard students hoisted placards proclaiming a Taft cabinet: Joe McCarthy for Attorney General, Chiang Kai-shek as Secretary of State, General MacArthur as Secretary of Defense, Fred Hartley (of Taft-Hartley) as Secretary of Labor, and Ohio's Senator John Bricker as Secretary of Commerce...

When the 1952 appropriations bill came up, Van Zandt tacked on a rider: No money was to be used for retirement pay for officers who left before they reached the compulsory retirement age (60 for officers up to brigadier general, 62 for major generals, 64 for above major general). An officer could retire on three-quarters pay before his time only if he had a physical disability or if the Secretary of Defense considered it for the good of the service or a case of personal hardship...
