Extract

Rarely in history has a legislative body been confronted with problems, the implications of which are so far-reaching, the solutions of which are so important to civilization, as is the present American Congress. The questions with which the Seventy-seventh Congress has to cope include national defense, civil liberties in times of crisis, fundamental labor policies, forms of taxation, and possibly monetary standards.

page 70 note 1 Sixty congressmen and five senators wrote on the questionnaire “No previous office.” The others included in this statement gave no indication, either on the questionnaire or in the current biographical dictionaries, that they had held office.

page 73 note 1 This question was so worded that response required a check mark. Failure to check presumably meant that the congressman had never occupied the position, but in some cases it may have been a simple omission.
