| | The administration did, however, use the Oklahoma City bombing as an excuse to propose sweeping new federal powers — such as restricting the right of habeas corpus and expanding use of wiretaps — even though proponents were unable to point to a single example where civil-liberties protections prevented the police from deterring terrorism. | | | The president claimed to possess "inherent authority to conduct warrant-less searches for foreign intelligence purposes." The administration required public-housing residents to sign away their constitutional right that authorities procure a warrant to search their dwellings and personal property. | | | Although President Clinton spoke of reforming affirmative action, his administration promoted it instead. |

| | Historical Text Archive: Articles: Eisenhower Years, 1953-1961 |
| | The Eisenhower administration sought business support through tax breaks, increased government-private enterprise partnerships in development of public power and atomic energy, support of state rather than federal control of oil reserves in the tidal regions of states. | | | In the mid-1950's, the political pattern seemed to be (1) administration friendliness to business, (2) administration efforts, seldom strikingly successful, to promote economy and decentralization, and (3) compromises between Eisenhower and Congress in support of moderate, familiar reform programs. | | | Instead, the Eisenhower administration went through three stages (1) the announcement of sweeping changes, (2) then going back to a slightly modified version of earlier policies because the public did not want major changes, and (3) frustration and renewed crisis because some people liked neither the old nor the new policies and were vocal critics. |
