An Eagle Scout, he graduated first in his class at both Shortridge High School, Indianapolis, and Denison University in Granville, OH. He attended Pembroke College, Oxford, England, as a Rhodes scholar, and received a graduate degree in 1956. He served in the Navy from 1957 to 1960. Upon leaving the Navy he returned to Indianapolis, where he ran, with his brother Tom, the family’s food pro- duction manufacturing business, and the family farm. He was elected a member of the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners and served from 1964 to 1967. Subsequently he was elected mayor of Indianapolis and served from 1968 to 1975. He was elected to the Senate as a Republican in 1976 and reelected in 1982, 1988, 1994, 2000, and 2006. He served until January 3, 2013. He served as chair of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, 98th Congress; Committee on Foreign Relations, 99th Congress, 108th and 109th Con- gresses; and Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and For- estry, 104th through 107th Congresses. Among his foreign policy contributions were the Lugar En- ergy Initiative to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources, the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Pro- gram to safeguard and dismantle weapons of mass destruc- tion in the former Soviet Union, the Anti-apartheid Act to impose economic and political sanctions on South Africa, and the African Growth and Opportunity Act that promotes trade and encourages African countries to integrate into the global economy. He played key roles in Senate ratification of the START I, START II, and INF Treaties and the Chemical Weapons Convention. He was an early supporter of NATO enlargement. In agriculture Senator LUGAR built bipartisan support for Federal farm program reforms in the 1996 farm bill and for restraining agriculture subsidies and administering farm programs more equitably in the 2002 farm bill debate. He was also a leader of initiatives to streamline the U.S. De- [ v ] VerDate Aug 31 2005 14:43 Apr 24, 2014 Jkt 081110 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 6688 Sfmt 6688 H:\DOCS\BYEBYE\BYEBYE12\81110.TXT KAYNE partment of Agriculture, reform the food stamp program, and require daily price reporting by packers. Recognizing that trade expansion is key to the agricultural economy, he worked to improve trade opportunities for farmers, supported normal trade relations with China, trade promotion author- ity (fast track) for the President, and vigorous negotiating to lower foreign barriers to U.S. farm products. Among Senator LUGAR’s many other initiatives are a law providing funding for competitive agricultural research grants and the National Sustainable Fuels and Chemicals Act of 2000, which promotes production of cost-effective biofuels made from plant material. He supported literacy and school reform and authored the S–CHIP Improvement Act of 1999, which facilitated signups for the Children’s Health Care Insurance Program. He authored bills to pro- mote control of soil erosion, improve rural water quality, and control acid rain. He helped facilitate training of first re- sponders. He was a leader in negotiating the bailout pro- grams for Chrysler and New York City loan programs. As a member of the Joint Committee on the Organization of Con- gress, he was a strong advocate for improving the legislative process, streamlining appointment procedures, adopting a 2- year budget, and limiting the use of Senate ‘‘holds.’’ The Lugars were married in 1956. RICHARD LUGAR and his wife Charlene have four grown children: Mark, Robert, John, and David, and 13 grandchildren.

Madam President, I rise today to address my colleagues on a number of issues important to the future of the United States and to offer some perspective on Senate service. In a few weeks, I will leave the Senate for new pursuits that will allow me to devote much deeper attention to a number of issues that have been a part of my Senate service. Among these are preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and developing more efficient ways to feed the world. I am especially pleased that I will be serving on the faculty of the University of Indianapolis and helping that institution establish a Washington internship program. I look forward to announcing additional endeavors of service in coming weeks. My service in the Senate would not have been possible without the encouragement and constant support of my lov- ing wife Char, our four sons—Mark, Bob, John, and David— and the entire Lugar family. Their strength and sacrifices have been indispensable to my public service. I also am in- debted to a great number of talented and loyal friends who have served with me in the Senate, including more than 300 Senators, hundreds of personal and committee staff mem- bers, and more than 1,000 interns. In my experience, it is difficult to conceive of a better platform from which to devote oneself to public service and the search for solutions to na- tional and international problems. At its best, the Senate is one of the Founders’ most important creations. A great deal has been written recently about political dis- cord in the United States, with some commentators judging that partisanship is at an alltime high. Having seen quite a few periods in the Congress when political struggles were portrayed this way, I hesitate to describe our current state as the most partisan ever. But I do believe that as an insti- tution we have not lived up to the expectations of our con- stituents to make excellence in governance our top priority.

I had the good fortune of serving two terms as the mayor of Indianapolis prior to my Senate service. For the last 36 years I have attempted to apply lessons learned during those early governing experiences to my work in the Senate. As mayor, my responsibility for what happened in my city was com- prehensive and inescapable. Citizens held the mayor’s office accountable for the prosaic tasks of daily life, like trash col- lection and snow removal, but also for executing strategies for the economic and social advancement of the city.

    The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group

    The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group The Evolution of the Senate Arms Control Observer Group By Nickolas Roth In March 2013, the Senate voted down an amendment offered by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) to cut $700,000 from their budget that was set-aside for the National Security Working Group (NSWG). What many did not realize at the time was that this relatively small and obscure proposed cut would have eliminated one of the last traces of the bipartisan Congressional approach to debating arms control. The NSWG first began as the Arms Control Observer Group, which helped to build support for arms control in the Senate. In recent years, there have been calls from both Democrats and Republicans to revive the Observer Group, but very little analysis of the role it played. Its history illustrates the stark contrast in the Senate’s attitude and approach to arms control issues during the mid- to late 1980s compared with the divide that exists today between the two parties. The Arms Control Observer Group The Arms Control Observer Group was first formed in 1985. At the time, the United States was engaged in talks with the Soviet Union on the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty. To generate support for ongoing negotiations, Majority Leader Senator Bob Dole (R-KS), and Minority Leader Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), with the endorsement of President Ronald Reagan, created the bipartisan Arms Control Observer Group. The Observer Group consisted of twelve senators, with four senators, two from each party, serving as co-chairs1 and created an official role for senators to join U.S.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Toth, Senior Associate Kimberly Parker, Research Director Margaret Petrella, Survey Analyst Pew Research Center for The People & The Press 202/293-3126 http://www.people-press.org FORBES DRAWS EVEN WITH DOLE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Political newcomer Steve Forbes has moved into a statistical tie with Bob Dole for top honors in the New Hampshire primary. A Pew Research Center poll of 543 likely voters taken January 25-28 finds the millionaire publisher leading the Senator 29% to 24%, but the lead is within the poll's margin of sampling error. Well behind the two front runners are Lamar Alexander (11%), Pat Buchanan (11%), and Phil Gramm (10%), all in a statistical tie for third place. All other candidates register less than 5% support. Despite the big margin that separates Forbes and Dole from the second tier of candidates, voter attitudes in New Hampshire are highly volatile. Only a tiny minority of respondents describe themselves as strong supporters of any of the candidates (Dole 6%, Forbes 7%, Alexander 2%, Gramm 2%, and Buchanan 5%). There is also widespread discontent among New Hampshire voters with the Republican field, which is currently working to Forbes's advantage. A 64% majority of likely voters gave the Republican candidates as a group a negative rating of fair or poor. Forbes leads Dole by a 30% to 22% margin among these disaffected voters, while Dole leads 32% to 26% among voters who view the Republican field as good or excellent overall.
