A small-town lawyer, Cooper was first elected to the house in 1928 and was still serving there when he died in 1957.
Cooper was a quiet, shy man of extreme caution, who was nicknamed by reporters on Capitol Hill as ‘Sphinx.’ He also was described as a party wheelhorse whose ‘slow, verbose questioning of witnesses often represented a filibuster.’”
Cooper said that he had worked from the time he was 12 years old and ‘never had a stitch of clothes bought for me by anyone but my own self from that time on.”

Thomas Eliot, who was also likely present at the executive session when the change was made, remembers it being Congressman Cooper.
For what it is worth, my slightly uncertain recollection is that the matter under discussion was the title of the Board, which, in the original draft, was called the "Social Insurance Board." Somebody indicated an objection to that name.
Somebody else--and I would have guessed that it was either Cooper or Vinson--moved to change the name to "Social Security Board.

The bill under reference, with its amendment incorporating the proposed change in classification of hardboard, was sent to conference yesterday on a motion by Jere Cooper.
It is therefore generally assumed that Senator George is not acting out of ignorance of the facts but has come down firmly on the side of the hardboard amendment even if he may have been aware of the full facts of the case.
The fact that Cooper has been successful in referring the bill to conference at least is encouraging, and there is still hope that the amendment will be eliminated, and that we will not have to reply on a presidential veto as a last resort.

 Origins of the Interstate Part 7 of 7
In March, 1955, the President submitted to Congress a report prepared by the Bureau with the cooperation of the State highway departments showing the estimated cost of construction needed to modernize all of the Nation's roads and streets in a period of 10 years to be $101 billion.
The formula used in previous acts for apportioning funds among the States on a basis of population, area, and mileage would not permit this to be accomplished.
The maintenance of the spirit of cooperation and understanding between the Bureau of Public Roads and the State Highway Departments that has been outstanding in Federal-State relationships is a necessity for the big road program to succeed.

The bill came up in the House this afternoon, but on a motion from Jere Cooper, the majority leader, it was laid over for consideration until Monday when the House reconvenes.
It was apparently agreed between Cooper and Rayburn, the Speaker of the House, that the bill would not be dealt with today.
There is, therefore, a possibility that the bill will go to conference, but there is strong pressure to have the amendment debated on the floor of the House where, we are told, it would stand a more than even chance of being passed.
