	John Hubbard Chafee served Rhode Island as State Representative
		Chafee’s "Meet-the-People" campaign rolled into high gear and he spent up to 18 hours a day stumping the state, taking a firm stand principally against Governor Notte’s attempts to establish a personal state income tax.
		Chafee's chances in 1968--after his gubernatorial defeat in Rhode Island--at being appointed to a position in the Republican national government, once so bright, were at that point dim.
		Nonetheless, it was Agnew who called Chafee to ask him if he would be interested in a job with the Nixon administration and it was Laird who urged him to take the Navy post instead of the post on the domestic side of the government in which Chafee was originally interested.

	In Memoriam
		AIPAC’s 1988 campaign against Chafee initially was one of the quiet ones, based both on his vote with a majority of senators for the sale of AWACs to Saudi Arabia in 1981 and on the fact that his opponent was a former United Jewish Appeal activist.
		Chafee let his actions speak for him when, in 1989, he sponsored a successful amendment to the annual appropriations bill calling upon Israel to reopen Palestinian schools, which Israel had shut down at the beginning of the Palestinian intifada, and not to use access to education for political coercion.
		As Navy secretary, Chafee demonstrated his humane outlook when he refused recommendations of his staff to court martial the commander and the intelligence officer of the USS Pueblo for letting their ship fall into North Korean hands in 1968.

		After four terms that will have spanned 24 years, Chafee, 76, said he wants to spend more time with his dozen grandchildren and reclaim his large family house in Warwick, where he is ready to tackle pesky junipers that have encroached on a favorite field.
		CHAFEE REFUSED to discuss his future during the impeachment trial in the Senate, where he led a band of New England centrists who denied their party a majority on perjury and obstruction-of-justice counts.
		Part of Chafee's public persona, what makes him a natural as leader of the Senate's 22-member Centrist Coalition, is his determination to avoid the kind of ham-fisted political assaults that make great sound bites but plenty of enemies.

		The Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) was established in response to research findings indicating that a considerable number of youth discharged from foster care do not make a successful transition to independence and that foster care youth are not adequately prepared for independence while in care.
