MEMORANDUM FOR: All Morning Meeting Participants
FROM: Frederick P. Hitz
Legislative Counsel
SUBJECT: Preliminary Election Results
1. Senators Anderson (D., Minn.), Brooke (R., Mass.), Clark (D., Iowa),
Griffin (R., .Iv'[i.ch. ), Haskell (D., Colo.), Hathaway (D., Me.) and McIntyre
(D., N. H.) have been defeated. In Texas, Senator Tower has a slim lead
over Bob Krueger. Warner appears to have edged out Miller in Virginia,
and Democratic Senator Jennings Randolph seems to have narrowly defeated
former Governor Arch Moore in West Virginia.
2. In the House, Koreagate appears to have done in Democrat John
McFall of California, but the two other California Democrats reprimanded
in the House investigation of South Korean influence buying, Edward Roybal
and Charles Wilson, were re-elected. Pennsylvania Democrat Joshua
Eilberg, who is under federal indictment, was defeated, along with Florida
Republican J. Herbert Burke, who had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct
and resisting arrest charges. But Michigan Democrat Charles Diggs, who
has been convicted on federal fraud charges, was re-elected, as was
Pennsylvania Democrat Daniel Flood, whose trial on several Federal
perjury counts begins in January.
3. An analysis of the effect of the election and of retirements on our
key Senate and House Committess is attached.
