The administration was not fully tested on either of these questions during the 1954 recession．The decline never reached the point where the administration thought that strong action was needed,so one can only say that the critical point was somewhere below the low point reached in 1954．However,discussions within the administration,and some small actions,reveal that the administration thought it might not be far from the critical point at some time in the spring of 1954．And since the critical point was never reached,the adequacy of the preparations was never tested．
