HARRIS July 29, 1970 Washington, D.C. By Roberta W. Greene For the Robert F. Kennedy Oral History Program of the Kennedy Library GREENE: Okay, what I wanted to begin with is kind of obvious. When do you first remember meeting Robert Kennedy [Robert F. Kennedy] and what were the circumstances? HARRIS: I met him the first day I came to the Senate. I had seen him in person before that. We came in—the people who had been nominated for the Senate and were not incumbent—for a kind of school for Democratic candidates. Bob was one of the speakers. It was at that meeting where he made what came to be a rather famous statement about how he was sorry to take so many people over the side with him and that President Johnson [Lyndon B. Johnson] had announced that nobody who was in the Cabinet, or who’d met with the Cabinet, would be chosen as Vice President. That was the first time I saw him in person. Then, the day I came to the Senate was the day after the elections in November of 1964. Mike Mansfield [Michael J. Mansfield] asked Joe Montoya [Joseph M. Montoya], Bass [Ross Bass] of Tennessee, Bob Kennedy and myself—who all happened to be in the Capitol the next day—to come by for coffee, and so we got a chance to visit. I was surprised how small he was; I expected a larger fellow. He was very warm and outgoing, I thought, and a little—very interesting contradictions all remote, too. I think warm and outgoing and remote, at the same time. Those were sort of the first impressions. I was very much impressed with myself on knowing such a person, as famous as he was. I thought, “Oh, my God, isn’t this amazing! Here I am getting to know Robert Kennedy in person.” [Laughter] GREENE: Was there any discussion, then, or in succeeding weeks about committee assignments... [-1-] HARRIS: On (Senate Committee or) Government Operations? GREENE: ...The same committee, yeah. HARRIS: No. No, it was a good long while before we ever really had much of a relationship. I suppose the first time really was in the Government Operation subcommittee on executive reorganization headed by Abe Ribicoff [Abraham A. Ribicoff]. We got into that whole Nader [Ralph Nader]-GM [General Motors Corp.] question of GM having Nader under surveillance. I suppose that’s the first time we really kind of worked on something together. GREENE: That was really his first active participation in that subcommittee, as I recall, wasn’t it? HARRIS: I suppose so because it’s the first time I remember my own participation that much. We later were active in the hearings that Ribicoff had—in the same subcommittee—on city problems. I recall Bob and I particularly asked a lot of the same questions of the building trades unions. He had a whole line of questions about how few minority members they had and so forth. I recall those two thing in particular. They were fairly early, but, of course, the Nader thing was much earlier. GREENE: What was the impression of him within the subcommittee room and within the committee, as a whole? HARRIS: The thought Robert felt toward some witnesses, I thought, he would almost be too mean. He didn’t really ask questions; he really was sort of making statements sometimes in the form of questions. It was terribly effective, I thought. I would say he was conditioned to that. He was intense, he was furious about the issues and he was rather well-prepared. GREENE: Was there a feeling of resentment on the other committee members’ part because he did come on so strong and got so much publicity, especially on this occasion? HARRIS: I’m not aware that there was. There was a member of that committee who often came in late, left early, asked special permission to ask a question or something out of time, and who, thereby, generally made the headlines that day. We used to laugh some about that because Robert was not that kind of person. He didn’t come in and ask for special privileges or anything. It was obvious to everybody that aside from what he did or said, he was going to be specially noticed. I think he felt, you know, that that was a burden about as much as it was an asset. I don’t think people had the feeling that he was pushy. I think most everybody—or really, anybody that I knew— recognized that he, by and large, had no control over the fact that he was that much news. GREENE: Did you ever notice him holding back to keep from stealing the scene, let’s say, from lesser known senators? [-2-] HARRIS: I just wouldn’t know about it. I don’t know of anything like that, except that he would hold back in regard to criticism of the President for a good while. I think he was afraid that that would appear to be political since his brother [John F. Kennedy] had been President, that he was speaking out against Johnson out of either personal political ambition or unreasonable animosity. GREENE: Was this something that he actually discussed with you? HARRIS: At one point. He invited me over to his house one night, to read the Vietnam speech.

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • Civil Rights and the Primary Election of 1964 in Indiana: the Wallace Challenge* Matthew E
    Civil Rights and the Primary Election of 1964 in Indiana: The Wallace Challenge* Matthew E. Welsh** In the spring of 1964 Democratic Governor George Corley Wallace of Alabama announced that he was going to campaign for the presidency of the United States, opposing President Lyndon B. Johnson, also a Democrat. Wallace had become a national figure by defying the United States Supreme Court in refusing admission of Negro students to the University of Ala- bama, and his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation had obvious overtones of racial intolerance which I found most disturbing. Indiana had come a long way since the adoption of its Constitution of 1851, Article XI11 of which barred Negroes and mulattoes from entering the state. At that time blacks already living in the state, many of whom had been born here, were not regarded as citizens. They could neither vote nor hold public office. They could not serve on juries or in the militia, and they were barred from public schools.' Article XI11 was voided by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1866. The General Assembly authorized school integration in 1877, prohibited discrimination in enjoyment of public accommodations in 1885, and in 1963 created the Indiana Civil Rights Commission with broad pow- ers and an adequate budget.2 The record also disclosed, how- ever, that the statewide referendum in 1936 approving amend- ment of the Constitution to permit Negroes to be members of * This article is an account of the 1964 primary election in Indiana as experienced and remembered by one of the major participants in the campaign.

  • Kennedy Tops List of Democratic Contenders
    The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday, July 3, 1975 - KENNEDY TOPS LIST OF DEMOCRATIC CONTENDERS BY LOUIS HARRIS Sen. Kennedy holds a wide lead over the 23 other potential Democratic nominees for the Presidential election. 1 A 31 percent plurality votes for Kennedy as first choice, and he is 16 percentage points ahead of his greatest competitor, Alabama Gov. Wallace. If Kennedy decides not to run, Wallace would move into first place with 18 percent, followed by Sen. Humphrey at 12 percent, Senators Hackson and Muskie at 10 percent each, and Sen. McGovern at 9 percent. Of the Democratic top runners, the only new faces to show any signs of rising strength are Ohio Sen,. Glenn and California Gov. Brown. But most of the possible Democratic candidates with any standing are old faces, which is ironic because more than seven in 10 voters have said they would like to vote for new and different politicians. The problem of most of the possible nominees is that they are relatively unknown. Sen. Bentsen, Rep. Udall, Wallace, Jackson, ex-Gov. Carter, ex-Gov. Sanford and ex-Sen. Fred Harris are still unknown to 49 percent of all likely Democratic and independent voters, and the collective vote for all of these hopefuls is no more than 26 percent. From June 4 to 10, the Harris Survey asked a cross section of 1,028 likely Democratic and independent voters: "Here is a list of people who have been mentioned as possible .nominees of the Democratic Party for President in 1976. (HAm RESPONDENT CARD) Now which one on that list would be your first choice for the nomination for President in 1976 if you had to choose right now?" With Kennedy In With Kennedy Out X X Sen.
