Texas History Minute
Congressman Jack Brooks by Dr. Ken Bridges
The machineries of government can be used forgood or ill. Some politicians abuse their offices or usethem strictly to destroy their political opponents whileothers try to uplift their communities and make life bet-ter for others. With his more than four decades inCongress, Jack Brooks became an iconic figure whoinstituted many changes for Southeast Texas.
Jack Bascom Brooks was born in Crowley,Louisiana, in 1922. His family moved to theBeaumont area in 1928. They struggled in the midst ofthe Great Depression while Brooks attended Beaumontschools. He earned a scholarship to attend LamarJunior College when he graduated high school in 1939and majored in journalism. In 1941, he transferred tothe University of Texas where he earned his bachelorsdegree in 1943.
The nation was in the midst of World War II whenBrooks graduated. He enlisted in the Marines inNovember 1942 as a private while still a student andwas sent to the Pacific after graduation. He saw actionin some of the fiercest battles of the war, includingGuadalcanal and Okinawa. He was honorably dis-charged as a first lieutenant in 1946. He would laterreturn to the Marine Reserves and serve until his retire-ment as a colonel in 1972.
Brooks was part of the wave of veterans turning topublic service after the war. He was elected to repre-sent Jefferson County in the Texas House ofRepresentatives in 1946. While serving in the statelegislature, he started attending law school at theUniversity of Texas in order to better understand thelawmaking process, earning his law degree in 1949.
He also pushed through legislation making LamarJunior College a four-year college as Lamar University.
He decided not to seek re-election in 1950. In1952, the ailing Congressman Jesse Combs announcedhe would not be seeking re-election to the seat he hadheld since 1945. Brooks jumped into the race to suc-ceed Combs and defeated twelve other candidates towin the Democratic nomination. He went on to winthe general election with 79% of the vote and wasunopposed for re-election in 1954, 1956, and 1958.
As a congressman, Brooks was an early protégé ofSam Rayburn, who ultimately became Speaker of theHouse. He was also a strong supporter of the oil indus-try and worked to bring federal projects to the TexasGulf Coast. In 1963, he was part of the tragic motor-cade that included President John F. Kennedy, Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, and a host of other Texasdignitaries in Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated.Brooks was aboard Air Force One later that day whenJohnson was sworn in as president by Judge Sarah T.Hughes.
Brooks was a strong supporter of Johnson’s GreatSociety programs, helping write groundbreaking civilrights legislation, voting for the establishment ofMedicare and Medicaid, and expanding federal aid forcollege students. During his years in Congress, eserved on many committees and ultimately came tochair the House Judiciary Committee and theCommittee on Govern-ment Operations.
As the WatergateScandal unfolded during
the presidency of Richard Nixon, Brooks became anoutspoken investigator into the crimes Nixon had com-mitted. It was Brooks who drew up the five articles ofimpeachment that the House Judiciary Committeevoted on in July 1974, which led Nixon to refer toBrooks as his executioner. The committee rejected twoarticles and instead approved the three articles ofimpeachment that dealt strictly with the events sur-rounding the break-in of Democratic headquarters atthe Watergate complex. Nixon resigned rather thanface the humiliation of impeachment.
In 1994, Brooks narrowly lost re-election with49% of the vote as part of an anti-incumbent wave. Itwas his only electoral defeat. He had one of thelongest tenures of service in Congress ever and the sec-ond-longest for any Texas Congressman, second onlyto Sam Rayburn. After 42 years in Congress, Brooksmoved into a quiet retirement.
Brooks became a respected figure in the region. Astatue of him was erected at Lamar University. A parkin Galveston was named for him. In 2010, JeffersonCounty renamed the Southeast Texas Regional Airportnear Port Arthur in honor of Brooks. He died in 2012.
