Sam SederHOST

Eric LiuGUEST
But the part of me that knew I was kind of intrigued by politics applied to a few, uh, offices on Capitol Hill.
Eric LiuGUEST
I got placed in the office of a guy named David Boren, who Yale '63, but at the time was a Democratic senator from Oklahoma, a now extinct species, Oklahoma Democrat.
Eric LiuGUEST
But...
Eric LiuGUEST
And I got this two-week externship During which the Yale kid comes for two weeks.
Eric LiuGUEST
You know, I didn't meet the senator till the last day where I got my picture taken with him, and then I went back to school.
Eric LiuGUEST
And I was like, "Oh, that was kinda cool.
Eric LiuGUEST
W- what an interesting exposure." About two weeks later, in my post office box at Yale Station, I receive this letter on gold embossed Senate stationery, and it's from David Boren, from Senator Boren, and it's two kind of stationery cards, handwritten back and front, in which he is responding point by point to my memo and saying, "Thank you so much.
Eric LiuGUEST
It was really great to have you here.
Mike SteelyHOST
And it went, all of it went downhill after that, and there were rumors about Howard going crazy.
Mike SteelyHOST
And David Boren basically had him executed pretty much because Howard didn't even get a chance.
Mike SteelyHOST
There was, like, a release, "Howard Schnellenberger is out as the head coach." And then Howard had his fireside chat.
Mike SteelyHOST
I don't know if it was his home or where he was, but he was in front of a fireplace.

And on Saturday and Sunday, we finished the outline of the bill and was ready to go until the oil industry people, and Bob was one of them, and Russell Long and Lloyd Bentsen and David Boren and, and, uh, Max Baucus and one or two others had a little amendment for oil, oil and gas.
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And we had about $100 billion in loopholes that were closing, and their thing cost 750 million.
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I thought they could, they could possibly upset this whole thing if they're not with me, or maybe I can beat them 12 to 8, but ...
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, the Democrats on it were not liberal.
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When you start going down the line, you had Russell, you had David Boren.
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He had Max Baucus, who was not all that liberal.
Bob PackwoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, you had any number of people you could get on things, but he excluded them.
Chris HowardGUEST
I had left.
Chris HowardGUEST
The military, I went to, sorry, the General Electric as a junior executive at GE and was there for a year or so, a year and a half, and was working on a big project that's up to here in Africa, came through London on a layover, went to Oxford and bumped into David Boren on the streets of Oxford and looked at him and I said, how are you doing, Senator Boren? And he said, not Senator, President.
Chris HowardGUEST
I said, nice to see you, President Boren.
Chris HowardGUEST
What are you the president of? He said, I'm the president of the University of Oklahoma.
