Answer: Dwight D. Eisenhower brought a "New Look" to U.S. national security policy in 1953. The main elements of the New Look were: (1) maintaining the vitality of the U.S. economy while still building sufficient strength to prosecute the Cold War; (2) relying on nuclear weapons to deter Communist aggression or, if necessary, to fight a war; (3) using the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out secret or covert actions against governments or leaders "directly or indirectly responsive to Soviet control"; and (4) strengthening allies and winning the friendship of nonaligned governments. Eisenhower's defense policies, which aimed at providing "more bang for the buck," cut spending on conventional forces while increasing the budget for the Air Force and for nuclear weapons. Even though national security spending remained high—it never fell below 50 percent of the budget during Eisenhower's presidency—Eisenhower did balance three of the eight federal budgets while he was in the White House.

After World War II, what did Congress do to help the nation transition from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy?

9966 [12]

C) Reestablished controls on prices, wages, and rents.

In 1946, a joint resolution of Congress extended the price controls enacted during World War II for an extra year past their initially planned end date, in order to help as the country transitioned to a peacetime economy. The government wanted to get away from price controls, but didn't want to do so too abruptly. The joint resolution (passed in July, 1946), included this statement: "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress that the Office of Price Administration, and other agencies of the Government, shall use their price, subsidy, and other powers to promote the earliest practicable balance between production and the demand therefor of commodities under their control, and that the general control of prices and the use of subsidy powers shall, subject to other specific provisions of this Act, be terminated as rapidly as possible consistent with the policies and purposes set forth in this section and in no event later than June 30, 1947, and on that date the Office of Price Administration shall be abolished. "

So there was a temporary extension of the price control measures, reestablished or extended by the joint resolution of Congress.
