	WashingtonPost.com: Harry Byrd of Virginia
		Although Harry Byrd was certainly proud of the role his ancestors had played in the settling of the Virginia colony and was aware of the prominence of the family name in a state that venerated its colonial heritage, he did not traffic in his pedigree.
		Byrd said years later that there must have been something wrong with her because "the three boys were always plotting how they could best escape me." There may not have been great outward signs of affection within the Byrd family, but there was a stable environment in which both freedom and responsibility flourished.
		Byrd entered politics not primarily out of a sense of service to the larger community--although he always insisted that was his motive--but to preserve or advance that which was beneficial to himself and his interests.

	Senator Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia - The Pay-As-You-Go Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Byrd was a member of the Byrd family that could trace its Virginia roots to 1670.
		Byrd, who had voted against the Senate bill, and his associates in the House used parliamentary maneuvering to prevent a conference to reconcile the two bills, which died as a result.
		Byrd gave a speech to a taxpayers association in Massachusetts on December 10, 1938, in which he criticized "nine years of fiscal insanity," blamed much of the problem on the pump priming theories of British economist John Maynard Keynes, and blasted the idea that the recovery from the Depression could be achieved by borrowing.

	The Byrd Organization
		Byrd was successful because he created a voluntary alignment of a homogenous group with common views, and he made decisions carefully after ascertaining the feelings of the local officials.
		Byrd was then elected governor in 1925, and institutionalized the pay-as-you-go approach where roads were built only as fast as state gas taxes and licenses fees were collected.
		Byrd's dynamic leadership on the road bond issue led to his taking control and getting elected as governor in 1925, but his ability to shape the political landscape across the state was based on the fact that it required very few votes to win a contest in Virginia.

	Harry Flood Byrd (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Harry Flood Byrd (1887—1966) was the most powerful political leader in twentieth- century Virginia.
		Byrd's political organization and pay-as-you-go philosophy kept taxes and public spending low in order to make Virginia attractive to business and industrial investors, but as a consequence road construction and support for public education and public health programs remained below national standards.
		The Byrd organization collapsed following his death and the disastrous attempt by means of Massive Resistance to obstruct federal court orders in the 1950s and 1960s to desegregate the state's public schools.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Harry Byrd's Virginia
		Harry Byrd's uncle, Congressman Hal Flood, was one of the Machine's leaders till his death in 1921, and Byrd's father was speaker of the House of Delegates.
		That means that Harry Byrd, Jr., appointed to the Senate by outgoing Governor Harrison (who announced Byrd's resignation with tears in his eyes), will probably face a tough fight to retain his father's seat.
		Byrd, a veteran of the State Senate, is considered a political lightweight and will not be a particularly attractive candidate.
