...only the week before was needling Eisenhower at every opportunity. Said the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Montana's Mike Mansfield: "For the first time in years the foreign-aid program has been presented in a form that looks manage able and salable." Minnesota's Fair-Dealing Hubert Humphrey was "delighted" with the message. House Speaker Sam Rayburn (who had brushed off Ike's State of the Union message last January as "one of those kind-of-usual things") called it "great," volunteered that he was going to back "a very generous appropriation" for foreign...

Secretary Benson himself argued that the bank should be allowed to operate for at least one full year in order to have a fair trial. But unless it was cleaned up soon, the bank was fast joining the list of discredited agricultural panaceas. For political reasons the Senate is almost certain to restore most of the cuts.
