Thomas Hale Boggs Sr. (February 15, 1914 – disappeared October 16, 1972) was an American Democratic politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was the House majority leader and a member of the Warren Commission.
In 1972, while he was still majority leader, Boggs was on a fundraising drive in Alaska when the twin engine airplane in which he was travelling with Alaska congressman Nick Begich and two others, disappeared while flying from Anchorage to Juneau, Alaska. |
