Washington Letter: George Norris Wins Reform Battles
Washington veteran George Norris of Nebraska, age 71 and a long Senate veteran, sees this session as perhaps his most successful. His major wins include the lame duck constitutional amendment changing inauguration and congressional session dates, and the anti injunction bill after eight years of effort. He also secured passage of a Muscle Shoals government operation measure, a potential defining achievement. Norris has fought machine politics relentlessly since 1910, rarely for fame or wealth, but for conviction and reform.
