In domestic policy, the Eightieth Congress is best known for its attack on the New Deal programs and its refusal to expand the welfare state. A close examination, however, reveals the limited nature of the attack as well as the considerable lack of agreement among Republicans - and Democrats - about desirable legislative goals. This study seeks to assess the external and personal obstacles to Truman's success as a legislative leader.
