His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964.

In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad.

In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick.

As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978.

He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich.

As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

He attended Williams College, where he received his AB degree in 1926, and Harvard University, where he received his LLB in 1929. From 1930 to 1935 McCulloch worked by day for the Chicago firm of Sonnenschein, Berkson, Lautmann, Levinson \u0026 Morse, and in the evenings he did social settlement work in the Chicago Commons. From 1935 to 1946, he was the Industrial Relations Secretary for the Council for Social Action of the Congregational Christian Churches of America at its Chicago office. In 1940 he was appointed director of the James Mullenbach Industrial Institute, a joint project of the Chicago Congregational Union and the Council for Social Action, for which he worked until 1946. In addition, McCulloch was active in a great variety of organizations, including the Chicago Chapter of the League For Industrial Democracy, the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy, the Union for Democratic Action, the Executive Committee of Americans for Democratic Action, the Conscientious Objector's Information and Service Bureau, the Chicago Workers Committee on Unemployment, the American Society for Cultural Relations with Russia, and the Mid-West Institute of International Relations.","In 1946 he became director of the Labor Education Division of Roosevelt University, a position he resigned in 1949 in order to become an administrative assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois. He held this post until President John F. Kennedy appointed him Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board in 1961, and Lyndon B. Johnson reappointed him to a second term. A firm believer in industrial democracy, McCulloch remained in his position at the NLRB for ten years and then joined the law faculty at the University of Virginia. His courses included Labor Law and Labor Law in Action. From 1971 to 1988 he served on the Public Review Board of the United Auto Workers. In 1972 he became a member of the Virginia Commission on Public Employee Rights, serving for four years. In 1974 he was appointed to succeed former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren on the Committee of Experts of the International Labor Organization, a United Nations agency, where he served until 1985. For ten years, starting in 1977, he was a member of the Albemarle County Industrial Development Authority. He died in 1996.","This collection of papers documents Frank McCulloch's extracurricular work in the field of labor law after his retirement from the National Labor Relations Board. The collection contains case files and annual reports from Public Review Board of the United Auto Workers (1971-1987); public employee rights; documents on the ILO and the United States S withdrawal from the organization; correspondence, miscellaneous files and published materials.","The collection is divided in the four series. Series I, the largest group (boxes 1-46 and 63-70) contains the case files he has kept as a member of the Public Review Board of the United Auto Workers, 1971-1987. Series II is comprised of files which record his work as a member of the Virginia Commission of Public Employee Rights from 1972 to 1976, as well as the aid he gave the Virginia Education Association in its attempt to get collective bargaining powers in the early 1970's. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Migrant Legal Action Program beginning in 1971, and the Series III files concerning that program extend from 1971 to 1984. Finally, in Series IV there are records dating from 1974 to 1983 regarding the Legal Services Corporation.","This collection of papers documents Frank McCulloch's extracurricular work in the field of labor law since his retirement for the NLRB.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad.

As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978.

Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration.

His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985.

Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992.

In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePapers of Lowell P.

It includes sound\n recordings of Weicker produced in the course of his congressional career, including\n interviews, news show appearances, speeches and statements, Senate debates and\n testimony, campaign appearances, and campaign spots. This sub-series also contains\n recordings of Weicker's 1970s telelectures to schools and senior citizens groups.\n Recordings pertaining to Weicker's investigation of American mental institutions\n during the mid 1980s and a handful of other miscellaneous recordings are also found\n in this sub-series.","Series X, Sub-series B contains video tapes which are arranged by recording format\n into the following sub-groups: 1-Inch, 2-Inch, Beta, U-Matic, U-Matic S, and VHS. It\n contains video recordings of Weicker produced during his congressional and\n gubernatorial career, including interviews, news show appearances, speeches and\n statements, Senate debates and testimony, press conferences, campaign debates, and\n campaign spots.

They are of historical interest because they\n provide a documentary cross section of Weicker's constituency during his tenure in\n the Senate. The files shed light on the economic, social, and political issues\n affecting Connecticut residents on an individual basis during the 1970s and 1980s.\n They also document the efforts of Weicker's staff to address and resolve matters\n brought to their attention by individual constituents. Sub-series A-C are arranged\n alphabetically. Due to legal and privacy considerations, the files in Sub-series A-C\n are closed to researchers until January 2086.","Series XI, Sub-series D contains miscellaneous documents which have been withdrawn\n from the collection. The materials in this sub-series mainly concern constituent\n matters. The documents in this sub-series are cross-referenced with the files and\n boxes from which they were withdrawn from and the files are arranged by box and\n folder number. This sub-series is closed to researchers until January 2086.","Series XII consists of memorabilia, such as plaques, awards, and trophies.","Series XIII mainly consists of oversized items concerning the life and political\n career of Lowell Weicker, including photographs of Weicker, 1990 Gubernatorial\n Campaign memorabilia, political cartoons, awards, posters, signed letters with bill\n signing pens from Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan, and\n other miscellaneous personal mementoes.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad.

In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration.

As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans.

Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation.

When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P. Weicker,\n Jr., United States Congressman and Senator from Connecticut, and Governor of\n Connecticut, 1834-2010 (Bulk 1942-1995), consisting of ca. 100,000 items (2119\n Hollinger boxes, 14 Oversized boxes, ca. 911.0 linear feet).","Series I contains Lowell Weicker's United States Senate Records. This series is the\n main focus of the collection and constitutes the bulk of the collection's materials.\n It is arranged into fourteen sub-series.","Series I, Sub-series A contains Weicker's Washington Senate Office files. It is the\n largest sub-series of the collection and is arranged into four sub-groups: Subject\n Files, Staff Files, Correspondence Files, and Constituency Files. The Subject Files\n are arranged alphabetically by topic, and they document the legislative activities\n of Weicker on issues that were of concern to him during his Senate career, including\n but not limited to legislation in support handicapped and mentally handicapped\n individuals, the rights of small businesses, and environmental conservation of the\n world's oceans.

Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eAs a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989.

He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.\u003c/p\u003e\n ","\u003cp\u003eWeicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III.

Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePapers of Lowell P.

His father was a prominent American\n industrialist, who in course of his career served as President and Chief Executive\n Officer of E.R. Squibb and Sons, as President and Director of Northco Corporation,\n and as Chief Executive Officer of Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company. Lowell Sr. also\n had a distinguished military career, first serving as an intelligence officer with\n the United States Army Air Force in Europe during World War II, then later as the\n North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Assistant Secretary General for Production and\n Logistics during the early 1950s.","As a child, Lowell Weicker Jr. attended Buckley School in New York, New York and\n Culver Military Academy in Culver, Indiana. In 1949, he graduated from the\n Lawrenceville School, a preparatory school in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. He attended\n Yale University, where he developed an interest in politics, graduating in 1953 with\n a B.A. in Political Science. Weicker served as a first lieutenant in the United\n States Army from 1953 to 1955 and in the United States Army Reserve from 1959 to\n 1964. He graduated from the University of Virginia Law School in 1958, before moving\n to Greenwich, Connecticut where he practiced law.","Weicker began his political career as a Republican at the state and local level in\n Greenwich. He was elected as Greenwich's representative to the Connecticut General\n Assembly in 1962, subsequently winning re-election to this office in 1964 and 1966.\n While serving as State Representative, he was also elected as the Town of\n Greenwich's First Selectman in 1963 and 1965.","Weicker's congressional career began in 1968 when he was elected as a Republican to\n the United States House of Representatives from Connecticut's Fourth District.\n Serving a single term in the House, he focused much of his attention on two issues\n affecting Connecticut's Fourth District: urban renewal and transportation. In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad. While serving in the House, Weicker\n supported the United States space program. He also advocated a bombing halt in the\n Vietnam War and urged the United States initiation of peace talks to end the\n conflict.","Weicker was elected to the United State Senate as a Republican in 1970 and was\n re-elected in 1976 and 1982. In his Senate career, Weicker served on a number of\n committees, including the Government Operations Committee, Committee on Commerce,\n Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on Labor and Human Resources,\n and Committee on Appropriations. He also served in a number of Senate leadership\n positions, including as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business, Chairman of the\n Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Chairman of the Subcommittee on\n the Handicapped, and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and\n Supply.","Weicker rose to national prominence in 1973-1974 during the Senate's investigation of\n the Watergate scandal, in which he actively participated as a minority member of the\n Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration. It was also during Watergate that Weicker earned a reputation as a\n political maverick. For the remainder of his Senate career, he was frequently at\n odds with the Republican Party leadership during a time period in which the party\n was becoming increasingly conservative.","Weicker made a number of noteworthy legislative contributions during the 1970s.\n Continuing his interest in rail transportation, he supported the formation and\n funding of Amtrak and sponsored legislation providing federal assistance for the\n rehabilitation and revitalization of the American rail network. Starting with the\n 1973-1974 Energy Crisis, Weicker was a firm proponent of energy conservation. As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans. He helped draft and sponsored legislation pertaining to ocean\n conservation efforts, including the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1978. In\n addition to his legislative work, Weicker was briefly a candidate for President in\n the 1980 campaign.","During the 1980s, Weicker frequently sparred with the Reagan administration and the\n conservative wing of the Republican Party over a number of policy issues. Continuing\n his strong interest in ocean conservation and research, as a member of the Committee\n on Appropriations, Weicker protected the National Oceanic and Atmospheric\n Administration's marine research funding from proposed Reagan administration budget\n cutbacks. Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation. In 1985, as Chairman of the Committee on Small Business,\n he successfully opposed the Reagan administration's efforts to abolish the Small\n Business Administration. A strong supporter of AIDS research, Weicker played an\n instrumental role in obtaining federal funding for the Center of Disease Control's\n and National Institutes of Health's clinical trials of the anti-AIDS drug AZT.\n Throughout the 1980s, he actively opposed the Reagan administration and Republican\n Party conservatives on a number of constitutional issues, including abortion, civil\n rights, busing, and school prayer.","Weicker became a nationally-recognized advocate for the physically and mentally\n handicapped. He considered his work in the area of handicapped legislation the most\n significant achievements of his Senate tenure. Throughout the 1980s, as a member of\n the Committee on Appropriations and as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker protected federal disability programs from proposed budget cuts\n by the Reagan administration. His efforts included the reauthorization and increased\n funding of disability programs under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act\n and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on the\n Handicapped, Weicker conducted a Senate investigation on the state of mental\n institutions in the United States, which uncovered numerous cases of neglect and\n abuse of mental patients. Largely in response to the findings of this investigation,\n he drafted and sponsored the Protection and Advocacy for the Mentally Ill Act, which\n was signed into law in 1985. In 1988, Weicker introduced the legislation that became\n the Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law in 1990 after Weicker\n left the Senate.","Weicker was defeated by Democratic opponent Joseph Lieberman in 1988 and left office\n in January 1989. Following his departure from the Senate, Weicker taught\n constitutional law at George Washington University School of Law. He also served as\n Chief Executive Officer of the non-profit medical research advocacy group Research!\n America.","Weicker returned to politics as a third party candidate in the 1990 Connecticut\n gubernatorial election. Running as the candidate of A Connecticut Party, a third\n party he founded, Weicker won the governorship by defeating Republican John Rowland\n and Democrat Bruce Morrison. When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus. For this\n accomplishment in the face of widespread opposition, he was awarded the John F.\n Kennedy Library Foundation's Profiles in Courage Award in 1992. Weicker did not seek\n re-election in 1994 and retired from the governorship in January 1995.","Weicker has three sons with his first wife Marie Louise “Bunny” Godfrey (1953-1977):\n Scott, Gray, and Brian, as well as two sons with his second wife Camille Butler\n (1977-1984): Sonny and Lowell III. In December 1984, Weicker married his third wife\n Claudia Testa, who has two sons: Mason and Andrew.","This collection consists of the political and personal papers of Lowell P.

In the\n area of urban renewal, Weicker successfully drafted and introduced an amendment to\n the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1969, which required one-for-one\n replacement of housing units demolished for urban renewal projects. He sponsored the\n Connecticut Transportation Act, which kept the bankrupt New Haven Railroad operating\n until it merged with the Penn Central Railroad.

In course of the committee's\n investigation, he emerged as a notable critic and opponent of the Nixon\n administration.

As a\n member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, he supported legislation\n designed to reduce American dependency upon foreign oil and encourage fossil fuel\n conservation. In the aftermath of Watergate, Weicker sponsored Watergate reform\n legislation, including bills pertaining to open government and intelligence\n oversight. From 1975 onward, Weicker was a noted advocate for conservation of the\n world's oceans.

Weicker and four other moderate Republican Senators known as “The Gang of\n Five” stopped proposed cutbacks and eliminations affecting a number of federal\n health and social programs, including the National Institutes of Health and the\n Legal Services Corporation.

When Weicker took office in January 1991, he inherited\n a state budget deficit of $963 million. To address the financial shortfall, Weicker\n introduced a budget that included a state income tax of 6 percent, which was met\n with fierce opposition by both the voting public and the General Assembly. After a\n protracted political stalemate, which included Weicker's veto of three General\n Assembly budgets without an income tax and a three day interruption of state\n services, the General Assembly passed a budget that included a 4.5 percent state\n income tax on August 22, 1991. This state income tax took effect and the State of\n Connecticut ended the next three fiscal years with a budget surplus.
