Reagan could not repeal the redress commission and instead enlarged it

Evidence

President Reagan opposed everything associated with the former president, including the commission. Early on in his first term, he remarked to his cabinet that “he had little use for ‘left-over Carterisms like the CWRIC.’ ” But because the Democrats controlled the majority of the House, and the Republicans the Senate, President Reagan could not repeal the legislation. Within a month of taking office, he signed into law a bill that expanded the commission to nine members. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 194
