WASHINGTON, (P)-- President Eisenhower's first legislative request to be taken up by Congress was halfway through today, with a clear and fast track ahead.
It's a bill continuing for two years the President's power to re-shuffle executive agencies--subject to congressional veto power first given to ex-President Truman in 1949.
The House passed the bill yesterday, 389-5, just one day after the President requested action in his message on the state of the union. It was the first major House action of the new session.
Senate approval, perhaps next week, was expected.
