Regarded as a tireless worker and gifted parliamentarian, he became assistant Democratic leader in 1955 under Rayburn, who called him "one of the greatest whips the House has ever known." With the death of Rayburn in 1961, Albert was promoted to party floor leader. He became Speaker in 1971, after the retirement of John W. McCormack...
