His principled and unchanging defense of a domestic order that served the powerless and poor as well as the strong and wealthy derived from the same goals which our Nations founding document expounds: " * * to form a more perfect union. establish justice. insure domestic tranquility. provide for the common defense. promote the general welfare. and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity* * *." Senator JACKSON was staunch and unyielding in his defense of our liberties. both at home and abroad. He was dedicated to the proposition that a strong military establishment can be reconciled with a strong defense of human rights. His was the effort that brought human rights concerns home to the Soviet Union. when he championed the right to free emigration from Communist as well as nonCommunist nations. Even more importantly. he understood that a strong national defense and an effective foreign policy can only rest on the base of a prosperous and just society at home. Senator JACKSONS vision and concern were broad and farsighted. his insights were not circumscribed by contemporary preoccupations.
