Majority Leader Scott Lucas was boiling mad at Barkley, whom he accused of "telling me what to do all evening." Barkley, equally irritated, rumbled: "I have not done any such thing." Vermont's Aiken cried: "The Senate has now out Brannaned the Brannan plan." He said that the 90% amendment would make the bill as expensive and control-ridden as Secretary of Agriculture Brannan's tricky scheme, which the Senate shies from...
...House, which stubbornly held out for a fixed-parity support. Aiken's plan would allow a flexible parity range from 60 to 90 percent of the base period, depending on current agricultural conditions but still securing a parity principle in the long run.

With the Hope-Aiken Act set to function in 1950, providing for a lower and more flexible level of price supports, he has advanced a counterplan to commit Agriculture to a permanent policy of high price pegs. The Brannan plan brushes aside any idea of a gradual reduction of price props, and substitutes much higher support prices pegged to an "income support standard." This would guarantee farmers an income as fat as the one they have enjoyed...
