The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman Oral History Interview Final Edited
The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman U.S. Representative of New York (1973–1981) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript March 10, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “I said, ‘The agenda of what we need to do is so huge, we can’t possibly accomplish everything anyway. So let’s just focus on areas that we agree on. And first of all, it will make us stronger if all agree, and all agree to work on them.’ And that’s how we started. And also, it was critical, I think, to get people’s participation, the participation of women. Because I think since it was really early, there had been no caucus, to the best of my knowledge, before that. Women had not worked together. We were concerned about being ridiculed. We were concerned about negative press. We were concerned about how this was going to affect us in our district. I think we—this was a very important step to make people feel politically comfortable in joining with people of different political views. So, I think it worked. From my point of view, it worked.” The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman March 10, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 48 Abstract Elizabeth (Liz) Holtzman pulled off a major upset when she defeated longtime Representative and Judiciary Committee Chairman, Emanuel Celler, to win a seat in the 93rd Congress (1973–1975). The youngest woman ever elected to Congress at the time (31)—a record that would stand for more than four decades—Holtzman’s grassroots campaign in her New York City district centered on her opposition to the Vietnam War. -

Hon. Elizabeth Holtzman Counsel; Co-Chair, Government Relations Group [email protected] (212) 592-1421 PHONE (212) 545-3339 FAX Elizabeth Holtzman handles government relations at the federal, state and local levels. She also focuses on litigation. Liz joined Herrick after more than 22 years in government, including 20 as an elected official. During her four terms as a U.S. Congresswoman, she captured national attention for her role on the House Judiciary Committee where she voted to impeach President Richard Nixon, and questioned President Ford about the Nixon pardon; chaired the Immigration and Refugees Subcommittee (where she co-authored with Senator Ted Kennedy the Refugee Act of 1980); co-founded the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues; and wrote many laws, including extending the deadline for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment and the Rape Privacy Act. She was the first member of Congress to expose the U.S. government’s inaction on Nazi war criminals living in America and spearheaded the effort to bring them to justice. When elected, she was the youngest woman to be elected to Congress, a record she held for 42 years. Liz subsequently became the first woman elected District Attorney in New York City, serving eight years as DA of Kings County (Brooklyn), where she argued successfully before the U.S. Supreme Court, and pioneered new strategies for the prosecution of sexual assault and environmental crimes. She also led the effort to end the practice of using peremptory challenges to remove African-Americans from juries because of their race. Liz was also the first and only woman to be elected Comptroller of New York City. -
