Talk:88th United States Congress

Requested move
All of the others (1st United States Congress through 113th United States Congress) have long since been renamed with the consensus of the Wikipedia community. I suspect that the renamers found these articles hard to move and gave up.—Markles 11:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support; this should be renamed to be consistent with the others. *Dan T.* 23:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Done.—Markles 00:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Longest filibuster?
There seems to be an error in facts on the longest filibuster in Senate history until 1964. In the wiki article filibuster, Senator Strom Thurmond is identified for setting a record in 1957 by filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for 24 hours and 18 minutes. However, in this article Senator Byrd is identified with a lesser record in 1964. - Mitchumch 17:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The filibuster for CRA-1964 was the longest in Senate history, lasting 73 days. Thurmond's record, made during the filibuster for CRA-1957, is for the longest single speech during a filibuster.  The article as it stood before this note was deleted was incorrect, but this filibuster was certainly a "major event", so I have restored it, with accurate wording.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JPMcGrath (talk • contribs) 20:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
