Byrd Seeks to Reassert Senate Role and Senate Oversight

He reflects on the Byrd Tradition, loyalty to his father, and views on Vietnam, Medicare and Medicaid, welfare reform, and constitutional balance on the Supreme Court. He weighs party independence, Virginia politics, school integration, and national policy on taxes, defense, and SALT talks.
