Somehow, the envelope from the Office of Economic Opportunity got addressed to "The Honorable Margaret G. Muskie, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20501." The last name indicated that it was meant for Maine's Democratic Senator Edmund Muskie, but first name prevailed, and it went instead to Maine's senior Senator, Republican Margaret Chase Smith. "This surely must be the ultimate in the OEO's great effort for non-partisanship," Maggie told the Senate.
