| Description: |
Frank Atwood served twelve years in the Washington State Senate, but during his fairly short tenure rose rapidly through the leadership ranks of the Republican Party. R. Frank Atwood: An Oral History provides details on his Senate career, including his expertise in budgetary matters, his strong support for higher education, and his role in introducing much of the executive reorganization legislation proposed by Governor Dan Evans. The interview also offers fascinating insights on the dynamics of leadership and the difficulties that low salaries and the continuing-session concept imposed on our citizen legislators during the 1970s.
