The 93rd Congress and its Quiet End in History
The 93rd Congress folded with little notice as the new year nears. It faced leadership gaps and scandal, passed a trade bill granting broad powers to the President and concessions to the Soviet Union in exchange for visas, and left the nation wary of government overreach. Harry F. Byrd Jr. stood as a moderating voice, though often unheard, in a session marked by weakened public influence over federal power.
