Mansfield Signals Favor for State Based Apportionment Plan
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield said he would likely support a proposed constitutional amendment allowing states to decide legislative apportionment. The remarks followed Dirksen’s invitation to President Johnson to stay out of the reapportionment debate after the Supreme Court ruled both state chambers must be population based. Tydings criticized Dirksen’s proposal as ill advised, arguing it would empower a small state minority and thwart majority will. Johnson indicated sympathy for reapportionment based on the Court decision but avoided detailed discussion.
