Description of Pictures: An American Conversation with Harry Reid: Archivist Allen Weinstein welcomes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to the National Archives. Senator Reid has been an elected official for the state of Nevada for over 30 years. After serving two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Reid was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986 and reelected in three successive elections. He is the author of Searchlight: The Camp That Didn't Fail, a detailed history of his hometown, Searchlight, NV.

10. NAHR_070608_151.JPG: Former Senator from Nevada (1987-2017), Harry Reid passed on December 28, 2021. He was Senate Majority Leader (2007-2015) during which time the Senate invoked the "nuclear option" to eliminate the 60-vote requirement to end a filibuster for presidential nominations (other than nominations to the US Supreme Court).
  The US Senate, which is already grossly unrepresentative, had been even more neutered by the 60% rule. Keep in mind that the Senate is a body where the top 10 US states (with 53.51% of the US population) have the same number of Senators (20) as the bottom 10 US states (with 2.84% of the US population). The filibuster rule allowed Senators from 20 states (40 Senators), who together can represent just 10% of the US electorate, to block a nomination. The south had used this for years to block civil rights legislation and it still goes on today.

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
