-
- He is Mr. John C. Stennis from Mississippi. He was a US Senator for
- many years and say as chairman on the Senate Armed Services Committee I
- do believe. He retired a few years ago and Trent Lott took over
- his seat.
-
- I think he was one of the longest seated members of the Senate.
- He has a political science scholarship here at Mississippi State
- and is well known.
-
- If you would like some specific information I can just run across
- campus to the archives and get some stuff..
