YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe continue our eight-week series of interviews with former congresswomen. Helen Delich Bentley served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1985 to 1995. A Republican from Maryland, she was a member of the Appropriations and Merchant Marine and Fisheries committees. Ms. Bentley talks about her career as a reporter for the Baltimore Sun covering maritime issues, and her appointment as chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission, which made her the highest-ranking woman in the Nixon administration. She also discusses her run for Congress. Much of the interview focuses on her career before winning election to the House; a second conversation was planned, but the former congresswoman died in August 2016, just months after the U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Historian conducted the interview.
