Mansfield Looks Back On Three Decades In Congress
In a quiet rear view of power, Montana’s Mike Mansfield recalls 34 years in Congress. He reflects on leadership style, bipartisan moments with President Ford, and his insistence that Congress remains a body of equals. He cites pride in publishing reforms, the 18 year olds vote, and inquiries into Watergate and intelligence. He envisions fishing after retirement and hopes for a stronger democratic future.
