McCarthy, "[Benson] is like a man standing on the bank of the river telling a drowning man that all he needs to do is take a deep breath of air." Alabama's Senator John Sparkman said that Benson had "in effect repudiated the price-support program."

Many delegations including the Canadians, British and French have protested vigorously against the process. Their protest is, at bottom, a deep concern with any extension of McCarran's investigation to other parts of the U.N. Although Lie has protested that the Secretariat works in a "glass house," and is "unfertile soil" for subversives, he has not resisted the Committee's pressures.
