Welcome, everybody, to todays panel on the crises of the 1970s. So we have a great panel today and i im going to just start out by talking a little bit about what we thought how we kind of framed this panel and what we are kind of hoping to accomplish. One of the things we have set this up as a round table intentionally. All of us were going to speak for maybe about ten minutes, so kind of making a few brief remarks about the literature on the 1970s and thinking you about the 1970s, what this unique time means to us today and then we would like to open it up and have a lot of time for conversation, both among both with each other and most importantly, with the audience.

So you get a constitutional amendment that makes the voting age 18 instead of 21, so thats early in the 1970s. You also get a transformation of the primary system in this country, right . Prior to the 1970s, you had primary systems they were not binding primary systems so the primary system that we all experience that at times has caused the last five or ten years crises of its own, that is also birthed in the early 1970s. You begin to get a transformation that had already started in the 1960s, but comes to true you wigs wigs in the 1970s of the ways in which Congressional Committees are structureded. You get the break down of the old Congressional Committee structure, dominated largely by southern senat
