The 87th Congress Near Adjournment and Election Frenzy
The 87th Congress faced a near adjournment as election campaigns intensified in 1962. House absences grew with 176 members on the campaign trail and only 41 of the remaining quorums, while the Senate hovered around a bare 51 with 49 absent. Presidents messages and wartime pressures influenced legislation, and campaigns shifted to radio TV panels and self produced tapes from the capital. With adjournment, parties argued records, and independents and undecided voters became pivotal in the coming three weeks.
