add to cart   close window

This article discusses about the mimeographed handout addressed to "city editors, editorial writers, columnists and commentators" which was typical of hundreds that flow daily into wastebaskets of newspapers across the country. It was from the Committee of One Million, and its message was summarized in the first paragraph. The handout went on to describe the committee as being "supported by a majority of Congress-55 Senators and 295 Representatives representing both Parties." On the back of the handout were listed the names of 349 Senators and Representatives who were identified as "Congressional endorsers."
