...most important pieces of legislation considered during my service in the Senate." Republican Senator Charles Percy, another coauthor, claims that it is "one of the historic turning points in the evolution of our institutions." The bill has been hailed by many liberal Senators, notably Maine's Edmund Muskie and California's Alan Cranston, as well as by such conservatives as Virginia's Harry Byrd Jr. and Tennessee's William Brock...

To match the Republican effort, Luken brought in Maine Senator Edmund Muskie, Ohio Governor John Gilligan and Veteran Political Consultant Mark Shields. His advice to Luken was to focus the campaign even more squarely on the President...
