STAGGERS PAPERS OFFER SLICE OF AMERICAN HISTORY As President Gerald R. Ford stood before Congress for the last time and delivered his State of the Union Address in Janu- ary 1977, he reminisced about his first day in Congress in 1949 and recognized the congressmen who had taken office with him twenty-eight years earlier. Only five remained. Among them was Harley 0. Staggers, Democrat from West Virginia. Along with Ford, Staggers witnessed some of the most monu- mental events of the twentieth century-from the Chinese Revo- lution and the Red Scare to the Vietnam War and Watergate. Ford left political life in January 1977, but Staggers continued in Congress for two more terms. When he left office in 1981, Staggers had served for 32 years, longer than any other mem- ber of the U.S. House of Representatives from West Virginia. West Virginia Congressman Harley 0.
