In it, he reviewed the accomplishments of his Administration during lus first year in office They included the ending of fighting in Korea; the high level prosperity In 1953; the reduction in tire cost of Government and the number of Government employees; the cut made In armament costs; trio casing of the threat of Communist aggression, etc. The President then pledged continued cooperation with the free World, especially in military aid, and some reduction in foreign spending- He urged world consideration of Ills atonrle energy control proposal; pledged the continuation of a strong national defense and increase in our military power thru new weajwn.n and methods, and a better Internal security set-up. He declared the continued aim of his administration was to maintain a strong nations] economy without regimentation ot the people, support ot tax measures to stimulate business; and strengthenedd old-age and unemployment Insurance benefits; as well as Improved agri­ cultural and public works programs. Hc estimated that during the present and next fiscal year. Government spending could be reduced by $12 bil­ lion.
