EX A TO It ROBERT TAFT introduced ^ sixteen amendments to the Taft-Hartley Act on the same day he held his first regu lar White House conference with President Dwight Eisenhower as leader of the Re publicans in the Senate. Two of Senator Taft’s bills met criticism voiced by General Eisenhower last year during his campaign for the Presidency. The timing of Taft’s action made it clear that Senator Taft had prepared the amendments before his visit to the White House and since he introduced them only a few hours after that call, he made his plans before his conference with the Presi dent. Many of the bills introduced had been introduced by the Ohio Senator in past years, some having been passed by one house but held up by the other.
