| | Modern American Patriot: Mark O. Hatfield |
 | | Even for a politically independent state like Oregon, well-known for bucking the national political trends, Mark Hatfield is legendary for marching to the beat of his own drummer, a characterization he somewhat reluctantly acknowledges, although he sees it as entirely consistent with the heritage of the Oregon Republican Party. |
 | | Senator MARK HATFIELD: I would say in the context of the national party, that could be perhaps a classification. |
 | | Senator Hatfield is a member of the Republican Party, but has consistently voted against military appropriations, voted to end the war in Vietnam, co-sponsored a nuclear freeze resolution and, most recently, introduced legislation calling for a Code of Conduct to regulate US arms sales. |
