According to Childs, Baker listed among those in "strong need" of campaign money: Democratic Senators Carl Hayden of Arizona, William Fulbright of Arkansas and George Smathers of Florida; G.O.P. Senators Thruston Morton of Kentucky, Everett Dirksen of Illinois, Wallace Bennett of Utah and Frank Carlson of Kansas; and Democratic Representative Wilbur Mills of Arkansas.

Indeed, save for the fulminations of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman William Fulbright and Oregon's Senator Wayne Morse, there was almost no meaningful opposition in Congress to the Administration's Asian policy.
