On January 20, 1959 Senator John F. Kennedy introduced to the Senate a labor reform bill with Senator Sam Ervin which, though never enacted, contributed to a significant extent the elements of the labor bill which became law as the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act in September of that year.
