For the Record

Those peerless leaders of the Democratic Party (and would-be leaders of the nation) Sens. Edward Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern ducked out on the Stennis amendment vote. . . . Vote found many 100 per cent liberal civil righters joining Abe Ribicoff in support of Stennis, among them Republicans Aiken (Vt.) and Cooper (Ky.), and Democrats Mansfield (Mont.), Tydings (Md.), Cranston (Cal.). … In the debate Ribicoff pointed out “America cannot make a true integrated school system as we are now demographically situated. I know you’re not supposed to say that. But it’s true.”

Republican congressional watchers wondering who was moving left faster: Charles Goodell of New York or Rep. John Anderson of Illinois, chairman of the influential House Republican Conference. According to ACA, Goodell has won. Anderson managed to bring down a cumulative ACA voting record of 81 per cent to 40 per cent, in a single term. But Goodell, doing the impossible, came up with a 10, which makes him more liberal even than Jacob Javits (14). Lowest Republican scorer was freshman Charles Mathias (Md.), 7 per cent; Charles Percy was next (8); Edward Brooke (9).
