if the senate was going to stop a filibuster on civil rights, they needed everett dirksen. the civil rights act of 1964 -- once dirksen came on board, once he agreed to whatever the compromise was, enough votes would come on board for the majority to prevail. everett dirksen, even though he was only the minority leader, was an extremely important leader at his time and it seems fitting to name this building after him. senator dirksen like to say he was a man of principle, and one of his greatest principles was to maintain flexibility at all times and that made him a very agile senator and a man who understood you have to compromise to build consensus. the united states senate compromised passing any kind of legislation, got some kind of a partisanship. rarely does the majority party has sufficient votes to pass something entirely by itself. always the majority leader has to persuade members of the minority to come on board . the result we some kind of coalition being built. i think that is one of the reasons why the u.s. senate went to commemorate senator dirksen by naming

brian: why everett dirksen? brian: he was from a different perspective. senatory in the 1960's.nd he died in 1969. he was probably the most effective minority leader we've ever had. this is the time of heavy party dominance in the senate. nevertheless, he managed to shape every bill that came through. most particularly the civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965. he was entertaining and clownish. the voters loved him. the press loved him. but behind the clown was this very serious legislator. so like sumner, he just has endless layers that you can keep peeling off. brian: how long have you been the senate historian? betty: i came in june of 1998. i've been the senate historian since june 2015. brian: what is your day like? betty: they are very rarely the same. you don't really know what you're going to be working on. you are going into the office thinking, i am going to dig into this or that and then the phone rings and something happens. somebody said something. statement.s made a and then you immediately get pulled into other directio
