Hastings’ father, Roger Keith, was the mayor of Brockton in the early 1920s. Keith would follow in his father’s footsteps by having a long and successful political career, beginning in 1952 when he was elected to the Massachusetts State Senate. Prior to this he had served on General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s staff during World War II. In 1958 he was elected to the United States Congress out of Massachusetts as a Republican representing Southeastern Massachusetts, which included all or parts of Plymouth, Bristol, Dukes, Nantucket, and Barnstable (Cape Cod) Counties. He would go on to serve seven terms in Congress, retiring after his term expired in 1972 to care for his wife Louise who had a serious illness. Keith accomplished many goals while a member of the House of Representatives. He was referred to as the “Cranberry Congressman” after he helped the Plymouth County cranberry industry recover from a national rumor in 1959 that pesticides used in the industry were causing cancer; he was the first Congressman to serve cranberry juice from his office water cooler in Washington, DC. In 1959 Keith, with the aid of Senators John F. Kennedy and Leverett Saltonstall, introduced the Saltonstall-Kennedy-Keith bill to create the Cape Cod National Seashore. In 1961 this bill was adopted and the Cape Cod National Seashore was established, protecting and preserving the land for future generations. A life-long sailor, Keith was actively involved with many issues that still resonate in today’s political world. He was a strong advocate for energy self-reliance for the United States, and tried to get the country to create a national energy policy. He devoted much time to merchant marine and fisheries issues and was the ranking member of that committee in the House of Representatives. The Federal Building in New Bedford is named in honor of his work. He was also a strong advocate for public pension reform while in office, and dedicated the remainder of his life after his retirement in 1972 to the topic. After decades of research and pushing this issue he published his book Make it Fair: An Angry Call for Federal Pension Reform in 2003. Hastings Keith passed away at 89 years of age on July 19, 2005. He was predeceased by his first two wives, Louise Whitehurst Harriman and Frances Bland Jackson, who both succumbed to cancer. During his marriage to Louise Harriman they had two daughters, Helen Harriman Keith and Carolyn Louise Keith Silvia. Upon the time of his own death he was married to Barbara Clapp Keith of Monument Beach, Massachusetts. Congressman Hastings Keith Scope and Content Note The Congressman Hastings Keith Collection primarily focuses on Keith’s involvement in politics, both during his time in office and his efforts at political reform after his retirement from public service. Some material relating to his life outside of politics can be found, including material on his time in the service. The collection consists of 9 series, with each series relating to a broad topic or type of physical material.

  • 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.
