Note
Outstanding roll calls in the Senate and House during the 1948 session of Congress are given in full in a separate section of this Report with the title “Record Votes in the 80th Congress, Second Session.” Summary tables of the separate section show the party alignments in all important roll calls.
The Republican-controlled 80th Congress clashed repeatedly with President Truman on domestic issues but produced nothing like the continuous deadlock between the Executive and Legislative Branches that had been widely feared after the congressional election of 1946.
Under the persuasive leadership of Sen. Vandenberg (R., Mich.), bipartisan support for the Truman-Marshall policy of containing Soviet totalitarianism by extending aid to free nations threatened with aggression was maintained throughout the 1947 and 1948 sessions. |
