Today in History The first representative body in North America, the House of Burgesses, met for the first time in Janestown, Virginia in 1619. Uruguay won the first Football World Cup in Montevideo in 1930. A joint resolution of Congress was signed by President Eisenhower in 1956 that established In God We Trust as the national motto. President Johnson signed the Social Security Act of 1965 establishing Medicaid and Medicare. Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in 1975-he was declared legally dead this date in 1982. The Knesset passed the Jerusalem Law in 1980 declaring Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel-it was immediately the subject of international outrage except for the USA. And in 2003, the last old style Beetle rolled off the assembly line in Mexico.
