Topics covered include New Deal Liberals, U.S. Government Executives, and U.S. Politics and Government. Nelson Cruikshank was a government bureaucrat who forged a career in the labor movement when it was a genuine movement of the exploited and unorganized. In those heroic days, he helped to put the New Deal into action. His later work on behalf on Social Security, and with the National Council on Senior Citizens, placed him as personal advisor to President Jimmy Carter. Alice M. Hoffman was the Director, Pennsylvania Dislocated Worker Unit, Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, and Howard S. Hoffman was Professor of Psychology at Bryn Mawr College. Nelson Hale Cruikshank (June 21, 1902 - June 19, 1986) was known nationally in the United States as an expert on Social Security, Medicare and policy on aging. He was a Methodist minister, labor union activist and the first director of the Department of Social Security at the AFL-CIO before entering government service in his mid-60s. Cruikshank is considered the most important non-legislator responsible for the enactment of Social Security Disability Insurance in 1956, which for the first time provided Social Security benefits to people with disabilities, and of Medicare in 1965. Later, as President Jimmy Carter's adviser and counselor on the aged and as chairman of the Federal Council on Aging, Cruikshank led successful efforts to preserve and expand Social Security benefits for the elderly and people with disabilities. Cruikshank began working for the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1944 as the director of social insurance after working as a lobbyist. He worked closely with AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer George Meany, and became influenced by Meany's internationalist outlook. Cruikshank was appointed to the National Advisory Council on Social Security Financing in 1947, where he became the AFL's point-man on old age and health issues. He earned a national reputation as labor's persuasive spokesman on these issues. He lobbied strenuously for national health care, repeatedly taking on its principal opponent, the American Medical Association (AMA), in the print media and on widely aired radio debates. Cruikshank left the AFL in 1951 and returned to government service. He became director of the European Labor Division of the Office of the Special Representative of the President for Europe, which was part of the Marshall Plan, but returned to the United States after just a year. Cruikshank returned to the AFL in 1953. He performed various duties for Meany, who was then running what would become the AFL-CIO behind the scenes as president William Green's health declined. In 1955 Cruikshank was named director of the AFL's newly formed Department of Social Security. He continued in that role after the AFL and Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) merged in 1955. Cruikshank used his position to protect and enhance Social Security as part of the union movement's commitment to a comprehensive legislative package of federal social insurance programs, including national health care insurance and income supports for the poor, people with disabilities and the unemployed. He created the AFL-CIO's Social Security Advisory Committee as a political group to press for higher and expanded benefits. In 1956, Cruikshank's efforts were instrumental in winning passage of the Social Security Disability Insurance amendments, which provided income assistance to permanently disabled workers. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: During a long, distinguished public career, Nelson Cruikshank was director of the New Deal's migrant labor program, an AFL-CIO organizer-lobbyist, a leading advocate for the extension of the Social Security system and an architect of Medicare. He served as an adviser to Jimmy Carter on aging and campaigned for senior citizens' rights. Compiled from tape-recorded reminiscences by his daughter and son-in-law, this oral autobiography contains serviceable anecdotes. Cruikshank recalls his battles with the American Medical Association and with Teamsters president Dave Beck and tells stories featuring Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Rockefeller, Arthur Goldberg, Harry Truman, Joseph McCarthy, John Kennedy and others.
