Then, using Russia's 84th veto, he killed off the U.S. resolution calling for a U.N. force. Only he and Sweden voted for the Swedish resolution, only...

He is proud of his voting record of support (88% in the 83rd Congress, 91% in the 84th) for the Eisenhower Administration, but he has made some of his biggest, blackest headlines breaking with the Administration. Perhaps the low point, in the Administration's eyes, came during the 1954 debate on the Bricker amendment, designed to dilute the President's treaty-making power.
