F. EDWARD HEBERT
As a Member of Congress (1973), he signs a typed letter to the Office of Education about an emergency school aid proposal for New Orleans.
Typed Letter signed: "F. Edw. Hebert", 1 page, 8x10. Washington, D.C., 1973 May 24. On his Congressional letterhead to Dr. Herman Goldberg, Associate Commissioner, Office of Education. In full: "I have been informed that the emergency school aid pilot proposal of McDonogh Number 15 in New Orleans has been withdrawn by the Office of Education. I would deeply appreciate your reviewing this matter and letting me have your advice. With kindest regards, Sincerely yours". As a young reporter, F. (Felix) Edward Hebert (1901-1979) won the Delta Sigma Chi Plaque for courage in journalism for exposing corruption in the administration of Louisiana Governor/Senator Huey Long. Elected to Congress as a Democrat, Hebert served there longer than anyone in Louisiana history (1941-1977). As Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee (1971-1975), with responsibilities for military spending and base decisions, Hebert had tremendous clout. In a blow to the seniority system, he was removed as Chairman by the House Democratic Caucus, many younger Members considering him too close to the Pentagon. Normal mailing folds. Staple holes at top left corner. Lightly toned at top edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
