It has been slow to formulate a legislative program and reluctant to push hard for the specific requests that it has made. The charge is at least partly accurate. Even before Inauguration Day, it was clear that Richard Nixon intended to hold down expenditures-and hence any new domestic programs-where possible, and to avoid unnecessary clashes with the Democratic-controlled Congress...
...filling the void by raising fundamental questions on military tactics in Viet Nam, overseas commitments generally, arms procurement and domestic priorities. This activity does not directly produce much legislation, but George McGovern's hunger investigation did help pressure the White House into formulating a much broader food-distribution program for the poor than had previously been envisioned. Vigorous Senate opposition to the anti-ballistic missile system forced the Administration to overhaul the plan and is now delaying approval of the new proposal.

According to the official program, the leaders had come to consider "the most urgent question of our time?the tasks of the anti-imperialist struggle at the present stage and the unity of action of Communist and workers' parties, of all anti-imperialist forces." But the participants knew the real purpose of the meeting. Alarmed by divisions and defiance within Communism, the Soviet Union was out to salvage as much as possible of its once uncontested primacy over the movement...
