Henry

Martin "Scoop" Jackson

(May 31, 1912 – September 1, 1983) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative

(1941–1953) and U.S. Senator (1953–1983) from the state of

Washington. A Cold War

liberal and anti-Communist Democrat, Jackson

supported higher military spending and a hard line against the Soviet Union,

while also supporting social welfare programs, civil rights, and labor unions. Born in Everett, Washington, to Norwegian

immigrants, Jackson practiced law in Everett after graduating from the University of Washington School of

Law. He won election to Congress in 1940 and joined the Senate in

1953 after defeating incumbent Republican Senator Harry P. Cain.

Jackson supported the major civil rights of the 1960s and authored the National Environmental Policy Act,

which helped establish the principle of publicly analyzing environmental

impacts. He co-sponsored the Jackson–Vanik amendment, which denied

normal trade relations to countries with restrictive emigration policies. Jackson

served as Chairman of the Senate

Committee on Energy and Natural Resources from 1963 to 1981. He was

twice an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic

presidential nomination, in 1972 and 1976. While still serving

in the Senate, Jackson died in 1983. His political beliefs were characterized

by support of civil rights, human rights, and safeguarding the environment,

but with an equally strong commitment to oppose totalitarianism

in general, and communism in particular. The political philosophies and positions of Scoop Jackson

have been cited as an influence on a number of key figures associated with neoconservatism,

including Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle,

both of whom previously served as aides to the Senator. The Seattle-based Henry

M. Jackson Foundation was created in 1983 by his former colleagues and staff as

well as his widow and other family members to further his work. In 1987, the

Department of Defense gave to the Jackson Foundation a one-time, $10 million

appropriation for its endowment in honor of the Senator. To date the Foundation

has awarded over $26 million in grants to educational and nonprofit

institutions.
