  • F. Nordy Hoffmann Senate Sergeant at Arms, 1975-1981
    F. Nordy Hoffmann Senate Sergeant at Arms, 1975-1981 Preface by Donald A. Ritchie On April 7, 1789, the Senate elected its first Door-Keeper, to guard the doors to its chamber where it met for its first five years in closed session. By 1798 it adopted the title "Sergeant at Arms," which was combined with that of Door- Keeper, and which continues to supervise the work of the now many Doorkeepers around the chamber and its galleries. Over the years the Senate steadily added new responsibilities to the post of Sergeant at Arms, assigning it control over wagon masters, pages, telecommunications and computer services. The Sergeant at Arms also supervises Senate protocol and security. During the time that F. Nordy Hoffmann served as Sergeant at Arms, from 1975 to 1981, he directed 537 police officers, 185 computer specialists, 155 service department employees, 108 managers, 65 janitors, 52 postal workers, 30 parking attendants, 16 recording specialists, nine carpenters, seven barbers, and assorted other staff totaling more than 1200 people, with a $49 million payroll. A big man who could fill a big job, Nordy Hoffmann was one Sergeant at Arms who looked like a Sergeant at Arms, observed Democratic Majority Leader Robert C. Byrd. "Nordy stands at 6 foot 3 and weighs close to 300 pounds. He is big enough to arrest and bring to the Senate Chamber any Senator now living." Republican Senator Malcolm Wallop described him as "compelling in stature, obviously, but compelling too in personality and efficiency. During my entire acquaintance with Nordy Hoffmann I never saw a flicker of partisan bias." Nordy Hoffmann was born on December 19, 1909, in Seattle, Washington.
