Yes, I remember Stennis being mentioned elsewhere as well.

As for Nunn, I can't remember where I read that--it might have just been speculation here even. But according to his bio he became a Senator in 1972, so he would have been elected by the middle of Novemember 1971--so it is conceivable he was on the list.

It's a good question about Jackson. The characterization is that they were Senators who had voted to continue funding.

And, as you know, it even the term "Senators" might not be accurate. Camil back then and subsequently tended to talk about Congressional leaders. So it might not have been limited to just Senators.

One of the ironies in all of this is that the Senators Kerry appeared before back in April 1971 were all very fawning, and several of them talked about how they fully expected Kerry to be a Senator as well someday.

No, elected in '72, sworn in in January of '73. A lot of the bios say he served from '72 to '97, but they're incorrect. We elect Senators in even years and they take office in odd years. Nunn was a Georgia Congressman from '69 to '73.

What do we know about the Stennis shooters in January of '73? The official story is that it was a mugging in his front yard.

Who mugs and shoots Senators at their homes?

Wonder if the shooters were vets?
