  Bourke B. Hickenlooper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bourke Blakemore Hickenlooper (July 21, 1896–September 4, 1971), was a member of the Republican Party, first elected to statewide office in Iowa as lieutenant governor, serving from 1939 to 1942 and then as Governor from 1943 to 1944.
In the Senate, Hickenlooper was known as part of the most conservative and isolationistic members of the Republican Party, and as possibly one of the most conservative American congressmen.
Hickenlooper opposed civil rights legislation including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, largely because Dirksen was working on this legislation in collaboration with liberal Democrats and attempting to get Republicans to support it, which would threaten Hickenlooper's power.

 Congress Makes A Decision (Drury, 1965)
In part, it is the story of two Presidents, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, who first tentatively and uncertainly approached the issue of civil rights, but then embraced the cause as their own and devoted to it all their influence and power.
It is the story of Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia and his fellow Southerners, fighting desperately, as was their right, to turn back a tide of history they could temporarily delay, but in no way thwart.
Senator Humphrey told Senator Dirksen that Senator Hickenlooper was picking up votes, "that we were in trouble." Aware of the embarrassment the Hickenlooper group was causing the leaders, the Southerners began to press for immediate roll calls on various parts of the bill.

The Hickenlooper Committee, chaired by Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), held a series of hearings March 6 through May 13.(50) There was the Advisory Commission on Information, a five-member panel of specialists outside of government created by President Truman to review the operations of the IIA.
The Hickenlooper Committee and the Advisory Committee on Information proposed that these programs be consolidated into one Cabinet-level agency.
This drew support from public relations practitioners such as Griswold, who wrote the White House and said, "Set up an independent agency, free to operate a fast-moving, modern program where timeliness takes precedence over protocol,"(65) However, there were also critics to raising the profile of overseas information programs to the Cabinet level.
