• congress passed laws establishing social secur... reduce poverty among the elderly
• congress passed laws establishing health care prov... provide services to people with disabilities
• congress passed laws offering financial aid to veter...
• congress passed laws protecting the rights of labor unions

Explanation:

The two facts show growth in union-related activity (more union members, larger union assets) between 1935-1955. A law that would cause this effect would support, not limit, unions. Reducing union power would not lead to growth, while financial aid to unions would directly enable this expansion.

Answer:

Congress passed laws offering financial aid to unions
