david: he was a congressman who was appointed by nelson rockefeller to succeed the assassinated robert kennedy and became a senator. and then your family moved to washington then? roger: we moved to washington in 1959 when i was born. so he could serve in congress. david: people may not remember this but your father was very famous because he was a moderate republican and was appointed by nelson rockefeller, also a republican, and then he opposed the war in vietnam under richard nixon and then johnson, and that became very difficult for him, politically because many republicans at that time wanted to support richard nixon and didn't feel that a republican opposed the vietnam war was a good republican, let's put it that way. was that difficult for you or were you proud of your father at the time because many people who were younger at the time were against the vietnam war. roger: i couldn't be prouder of my father and the courage he took to do something he knew was the right thing to do. it wasn't popular, and he knew at the time that he would likely lose his seat and lose the election,
