Fulbright Sting Felt by Four Presidents in Foreign Policy
James William Fulbright, a long serving chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from Arkansas, faced criticism from Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Truman over his foreign policy stance. He lost the Arkansas Senate primary to Dale Bumpers, becoming a lame duck at 69. His likely successor is John Sparkman. He urged restraint on Vietnam and aid, while backing Gulf of Tonkin initially. His career blended advocacy for a larger Senate voice in foreign affairs with a mixed civil rights record.
