CALL NUMBER:Unprocessed in PR 13 CN 2002:201 [item] [P&P] REPRODUCTION NUMBER:LC-DIG-ppmsca-11972 (digital file from original item) MEDIUM:1 drawing : ink, graphite, opaque white and blue pencil with paste-ons over graphite underdrawing ; 57.8 x 35.6 cm. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1976. CREATOR: Block, Herbert, 1909-2001, artist. NOTES: Title from item. Copyright 1976 Herblock. Published in the Washington Post, October 3, 1976. Caption from "Enduring Outrage" exhibit: This cartoon appeared after Congress failed to censure unethical behavior by elected members in both houses. In September 1976, the Senate ethics committee voted not to pursue allegations that minority leader Senator Hugh Scott (R-Penn) received $45,000 from Gulf agents, despite Scott''s admission of doing so. On October 2, the House of Representatives refused to expel Representative Andrew Hinshaw (R-Calif), who had been convicted of bribery. Herb Block''s image of both committees as fortress towers echoed his 1980 published statement: "Perhaps the biggest scandals in Congress are the ones in which it operates as a private mutual protection club."
