Nixon whether the financing of the schools and hospitals was provided by the Eisenhower Administration or by the local school districts.

Instead they should consider the joint effort by the federal, state, local government and individual enterprise. The reason the Eisenhower Administration has supported the funds to build schools, hospitals and highways is because this administration has encouraged individual enterprise. Another reason is the greatest expansion of the private sector of the economy and the overall growth of our country.
