Excerpt from Testimony of Hon. Walter F. Mondale: Before the Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session July 1, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room 216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. David L. Boren (co-chairman of the committee) presiding. Opening Statement of Hon. David L. Boren, A U.S. Senator From Oklahoma Chairman Boren. I will call the meeting to order. We have conducted 35 days of hearings, over 200 witnesses who have offered in total more than 100 hours of testimony. From the ethics process, reform of the ethics process, to scheduling concerns, to a vast array of reform proposals, we have considered more than 500 different proposals to improve the operation and the functioning of the Congress and improve our deliberations. Over the next few weeks the members of the Joint Committee will participate in extensive consultations and briefings about the many proposals that we´ve heard. Our goal is to begin the markup process sometime after the August recess. It is fitting that our final witness before this committee is an individual with a truly distinguished record of public service in both the Legislative Branch and the Executive Branch, former Vice President Walter F. Mondale. We are very honored to have you with us this morning, Mr. Vice President. Former Vice President Mondale began his long career in Government as Attorney General of the State of Minnesota in 1960; four years later he was appointed to the United States Senate, filling the seat of his great mentor, the late Hubert H. Humphrey. As a Member of the Senate, Walter Mondale was best known as the champion of America´s children. Among other items, he authored a major childcare program which was included in the Equal Opportunity Act of 1971. He also pushed through Congress proposals for the prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and for the prevention and treatment of child abuse. Then, of course, after serving in the Senate for 12 years, Walter Mondale was elected Vice President of the United States in November, 1976. As Vice President he helped revitalize the office, working closely with President Carter on a full range of policy problems confronted by the Administration. In 1984 he was the nominee of his party for President of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
