As Congress reconvenes in January farm bloc members may push to raise the 90 percent parity support price on select crops to 100 percent. Eisenhower spoke in 1952 of full parity as the farmer's fair share, while later notes clarified this did not require immediate government action. The parity benchmark has fluctuated since 1933, with 110 percent in 1942 then reduced to 100 percent, and prices dropping below 100 after World War II.

The record shows Truman praised White after his 1946 resignation from the Treasury, contradicting claims he fired him for disloyalty. White left the Treasury for the IMF with a letter of regret and no loyalty accusations accompanied his exit, and no action followed FBI findings. Two White aides under scrutiny for Soviet espionage refused to testify, citing self-incrimination.
