yesterday, um, former republican senator from oregon mark hatfield died. a, almost the last of a vanished race, a liberal republican. and in reading his obituaries, i was always cognizant as a young man that hatfield was elected to the senate back in 19 either 68 or 70 as an anti-war republican introduced legislation to end the vietnam war co-authored by george mcgovern. but what i either had not known or had totally forgotten that the obituary made clear was that hatfield had served in the pacific during world war ii, had been at okinawa and iwo jima and then had visited hiroshima. and his strong, already strong anti-war fervor was clearly put into a kind of understandable overdrive by that visit. and i think it sufficient fused the horror of that, sufficient fused much of the rest of his life's, of his life's work. tad in the course of, career of anti-nuclear activism and scholarship worked for some time with one of hatfield's colleagues, another united states senator who not only was opposed to nuclear war, but who devoted the entirety of his retirement

caller: we're in hatfield and what i would like to know is since the family research council is basedsupposedly conservative biblical values, where do they stand on issues such as food safety which is a huge problem in this country and since there's so much in the bible regarding this, why isn't it being addressed by them? it seems to be a very important human rights. guest: well there's quite a bit of issues i think that the family research council could get involved in based on the bible alone. except we tend to focus mostly on the life issues, the marriage issue as well as religious liberty issues which is certainly tying it all in. on food safety there isn't much we've done in that area except for we were against certain cloning techniques being used in the industry. host: next up wisconsin on our line for republicans. james you're on the "washington journal" with tom. caller: i was just wondering, i'm sort of a socially moderate republican and i was wondering if you think some of the hard social lines will hurt the election campaign for whom ever the republican nominee is. host:

we had cooper church to mcgovern hatfield and so on and so forth, but these all occurred after johnson had left office. nixon was in and was winding down and we started of challenges not only on vietnam and cambodia things like that, but also on nuclear weapons system. so congress was very active during that period and i think that's what a lot of people refer to the research in congress is after the country had grown war weary and it was no longer popular, and, therefore, members could assert themselves more and not feel as at risk of a claim may be. that was my observation anyway. >> if you look at public opinion data by the fall of 1967, the public had begun to sour on vietnam in large part because their expectation was this would not last long and we kept going in further and further. and you have the tet offensive and early 1968, and from the vantage point of the johnson white house, congress had already begun to be critical i've become much more critical of his policies. it's one of the reasons why lbj chose not to run for reelection. >> the foreign policy experts might correct m
