Therefore I think that possibly you should make a date for Senator Cooper to come in. If you do, I should like for you to be present also. If Cooper happens to be in Washington now we might see him tomorrow.2 Privately I am afraid this is just another "spending" proposition. 1 Lodge had written on April 8, 1958 (Lodge Papers), to suggest that a talk with John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky "would pay dividends." Cooper believed, Lodge said, that when Congress returned from its recess there were things Eisenhower could do "notably in the field of unemployment compensation, which will enable you to seize the initiative." 2 Eisenhower would meet with Senator Cooper on April 10. The majority of the meeting would be spent discussing the plan for defense reorganization (see no. 631). There is no record of any talks about anti-recession planning (see Goodpaster, Memorandum for Record, Apr. 10, 1958, AWF/D). Bibliographic reference to this document: Eisenhower, Dwight D.
