During
more than half a century in public office and private consulting, my work has concentrated upon efforts to increase the economic security and, through real economic growth and improve income distribution, (coupled with full employment and reasonable price stability) to lift the real incomes and living standards of the American people. Throughout this effort, the primary lifelong influences upon my work have been my father, William Keyserling, my old teacher, Rexford Guy Tugwell, and my long-time employer, United States Senator Robert F. Wagner.
Member American Economic Association, American Political Science Association, Phi Beta Kappa Clubs: Cosmos, Harvard, Columbia University (Washington).
Married Mary Dublin, October 4, 1940.
