He proposed a crime control amendment allowing state attorneys general to prosecute subversive groups before the SACB, but opponents warned of dangerous precedent and the board appears to fade as it nears potential shutdown. The agency, once active since 1957, has seen little business and faced scrutiny over appointments and authority now limited by Supreme Court rulings.
