At lunch today at the Capitol, 1 discussed with Speaker Rayburn,
Senator Lucas and Mr. McCormack Korean legislation.
Senator Lucas reported to the Speaker and Mr. MeCormack that the
Senate had passed the Korean $150,000,000 authorization bill with a section
granting an RFC advance which was expected to provide funds until aome
time early next year. He urged Mr. McCormack to get this bill through
the House. Mr. McCormack believed that it would be difficult to do this
and advocated special legislation providing funds roughly in the amount
of the RFC advance. One reason he gave for this was his fear that if the
House bill which now had a special status under a rule were amended
by the House by reducing the amount, the legislative process would have
to start all over again next session. The Speaker believed that possibly
this difficulty could be eliminated by amendment to the Senate bill which
would provide that no more than the amount of the RFC advance was to
be used until the specific date in 1950. Mr. McCormack agreed that if
such an agreement between the leaders could be reached, this would be
the preferable course, but doubted that it could be reached. It was agreed
that they should consult with Mr. Deschier and Mr. Martin and work out
a program tomorrow.
Senator Lucas was of the clear opinion that adjournment could not
take place until next Wednesday, and possibly not until the end of the
week. He based this chiefly on the difficulty of getting through matters
now In conference, including the Farm Bill.
