  • Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968
    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

  • The Mississippi of the West?
    THE MISSISSIPPI OF THE WEST? Michael S. Green* During the 1950s, African Americans in Las Vegas began referring to their city and state as the "Mississippi of the West." Magazine writers and civil rights advocates around the country picked up on the phrase. As the leading scholar of Las Vegas history, Eugene Moehring, wrote after cataloguing and condemning local racism: [T]his conclusion seems a bit overdrawn. While Las Vegas was certainly no bastion of equality, it was no worse a town for blacks than Phoenix, Salt Lake, and most medium-sized cities in California. Indeed, segregated housing, schools, and job dis- crimination were common throughout the mid-twentieth-century west. So too was the rippling effect of the national civil rights movement.' As NAACP attorney Franklin Williams said during a 1954 visit, Las Vegas was "a non-southern city with the pattern of the deep south ....Human rights in the western states are in a vacuum. "2' How this situation developed is both tragic and ironic. The tragedy of racism and segregation is obvious. The irony lies in the evolution of Nevada's political economy, the witting and unwitting role of the federal government, and the growth of Nevada's largest industries, gaming and tourism. Together, these factors managed to worsen de facto segregation while also sowing the seeds of its destruction.3 The inseparable issues of slavery and race affected Nevada's origins as a territory and a state. The Compromise of 1850 had created the Utah and New Mexico territories, which divided present-day Nevada: Utah included the Great Basin north while New Mexico included the bulk of what is now Clark County, Nevada, including Las Vegas.

    Bruce R. Thompson Interviewee: Bruce R. Thompson Interviewed: 1988 Published: 2013 Interviewer: Jay Sourwine UNOHP Catalog #228 Description The Honorable Bruce R. Thompson, born July 31, 1911, is a native Nevadan. In his oral history, he describes growing up in Reno on one acre on the Truckee River with cows, chickens, and a vegetable garden. Thompson graduated with a B.A. in philosophy and English from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) where he served on the school newspaper and the debate team. Thompson graduated from Stanford Law School and was admitted to the Nevada Bar in 1936. He practiced law until his appointment as an assistant U.S. attorney. Judge Thompson has a keen memory for stories of law practice and being a prosecutor. Appointed to the Nevada federal district court in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy, Judge Thompson served until his death in 1992. His memories, stories, and opinions cover his judicial philosophy, the courts, procedure, administration, judges, lawyers, and law clerks. Judge Thompson traveled widely throughout the Ninth Circuit, sitting at the district court and on appellate panels; he was also active in the Federal District Judges Association. Judge Thompson was a lifelong outdoorsman and horseman, and his life was a balance of work and family. Memories include family trips, hunting, and fly-fishing. The oral history interviews with the Honorable Bruce R. Thompson are presented here as part of the Nevada Legal Oral History Project, a joint effort of the Nevada Judicial Historical Society, the Ninth Judicial Circuit Historical Society, and the University of Nevada Oral History Program.

Moreover, it reveals the “secret history” of the Fair Housing Act, namely, that it passed in 1968 not through congressional perfidy, but rather through a classic political deal between President Lyndon Johnson and Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen, in which a weakened Dirksen agreed to support fair housing to preserve his leadership position and very probably his Senate seat.
