  • S:\OHP\Mcclure Oral History\Final\Preface.Wpd
    PREFACE The Senate Committee on Labor, Education, and Public Welfare was a catchall committee which handled legislation on health, education, labor, veterans' affairs, juvenile delinquency, problems of the aging, and sundry other subjects. For many years the Senate's conservative "Inner Club" looked upon the committee as a convenient place to assign and isolate their more liberal colleagues. The committee labored long each session only to see its handiwork stalled on the Senate floor or blocked in the House of Representatives. Yet, under the effective chairmanship of Lister Hill, and his successors Ralph Yarborough and Harrison Williams, the Labor Committee produced a series of landmark social legislation, much of which was enacted during the heyday of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Stewart E. McClure served as the committee's chief clerk during this turning point era, from 1955 to 1969, and from 1971 to 1973. In these oral history interviews he recounts the committee's frustrations and its triumphs, and recalls its most significant members, such as Wayne Morse, John Kennedy, Joseph Clark, Jacob Javits, Barry Goldwater, and Everett Dirksen. As chief clerk he attended and took minutes for all executive sessions, scheduled hearings, oversaw the staff, assisted the chairman, drafted speeches, and served as an "idea man." One of his ideas was to link education to defense in the wake of the Soviet Sputnik scare, a proposal which resulted in the National Defense Education Act. McClure discusses both legislation and the legislative process, and the senators and staff who shaped American lawmaking from the 1950s to the 1970s. He also gives candid assessments of the internal politics and stresses of committee life during those years.

  • 63. Howard E Shuman Ethics in Government
    Howard E. Shuman Legislative and Administrative Assistant to Senators Paul Douglas and William Proxmire, 1955-1982 Interview #9: Ethics in Government (October 9, 1987) Interviewed by Donald A. Ritchie Ritchie: You served in the Senate during the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson years with Senator Douglas, and then you came back to the Senate with Senator Proxmire, just about the time that Nixon became president. I wanted to ask you how you would describe executive-legislative relations during the Nixon period? What was the atmosphere like under the Nixon administration? Shuman: I was surprised at the way Nixon handled the presidency. I obviously was not fond of Nixon. I really never forgave him for what he did to Jerry Voorhis and to Helen Gahagan Douglas, which is in the public record. But I felt that when he became president he might well have vindicated himself. He had been a Congressman, a senator, a vice president, and he had campaigned all over the country for his party. As I mentioned earlier in talking about Senator Douglas and how he would go back to the state and come back refreshed after having been in touch with the public and the people, I thought that the process of Nixon having been in office for such a long time and campaigning for his party would mellow him. And I was extraordinarily surprised when a couple of things happened. page 478 First of all, he surrounded himself in the White House with people from his campaign rather than people who had a lot of Washington experience.

    REVISITING THE FABLE OF REFORM Allison R. Hayward, George Mason University School of Law Harvard Journal on Legislation, Forthcoming George Mason University Law and Economics Research Paper Series 07-46 NOTE: This article may not be copied without the written permission of the Journal This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network at http://ssrn.com/abstract_id=1041241 Revisiting the Fable of Reform Allison R. Hayward∗ I. Introduction There is history, and there is fable. History informs us about what happened, for whatever lessons we may wish to learn from it. Fables deliver a lesson, often animated by a story. The contradictions and nuances that make history interesting are death to an effective fable. But a fable can benefit from the gloss of authenticity that comes from some use of history. That use will necessarily be selective but is dishonest when the fable is itself cast as history. The modern campaign finance fable has its root in progressive political arguments. Advocates placed great faith in the management by experts of social problems, and the application of scientific principles to politics. For campaign finance reform, this meant the study of campaigns, the diagnosis of corruption and the prescription of legislative remedies. To sustain this idea over time, as it turns out, required a fable. That fable justified past reform efforts as calculated, measured and reasonable remedies, prescribed by Congress (or legislators, or regulators) after careful examination of political ailments. As new symptoms arise, the fable taught that lawmakers (or regulators) are justified in revisiting the diagnosis, unfettered by judicial interference or constitutional constraint.
