In the Senate, Church was a protégé of Lyndon B. Johnson and established a reputation as a member of the party's liberal wing. He was an important figure in American foreign policy and chaired the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 1979 to 1981.

Church sought the Democratic nomination in the 1976 presidential election, but withdrew from the race in favor of Jimmy Carter.

وفاته

Three years after leaving the Senate, Church was hospitalized for a pancreatic tumor on January 12, 1984.[1][2] Less than three months later, he died at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, on April 7 at age 59.[3][4] A memorial service was held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.[5] and then his body was flown home to Idaho, where he lay in state beneath the rotunda of the Idaho State Capitol.[6][7] His funeral was held in downtown Boise at the Cathedral of the Rockies on April 12 and televised throughout Idaho. Church was buried at Morris Hill Cemetery near his boyhood hero, Senator William Borah.[8][9][10]

ذكراه

Church received an honorary doctorate from Pennsylvania's Elizabethtown College in 1983 to honor his work for the American people during his career in public office. His papers, originally given to his alma mater Stanford University in 1981, were transferred to Boise State University at his request in 1984.

اعتبارا من 2018, Church remains the last Democrat to serve in the U.S. Senate from Idaho; his final election victory was in 1974, 50 years ago.

تحذير عن وكالة الأمن القومي

Church was stunned by what the Church Committee learned about the immense operations and electronic monitoring capabilities of the National Security Agency (NSA), an agency whose existence was unknown to most Americans at the time. Church stated in 1975:

That capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide.[11][12]

He is widely quoted as also stating regarding the NSA:

I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge... I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.[11][12]

Commentators such as Glenn Greenwald have praised Church for his prescient warning regarding this turning around by the NSA to monitor the American people, arguing that the NSA undertook such a turning in the years after the September 11 Attacks.[13]
