Ramsey Clark was U.S. attorney general during the Lyndon B. Johnson adminstration. During his tenure, Clark vigorously defended civil liberties and civil rights, proposed the abolition of the death penalty, opposed the use of government wiretaps and initiated the first school desegregation case in the north.

Born on Dec. 18, 1927, Clark received his bachelor's degree from the University of Texas and his law degree from the University of Chicago. After being admitted to the bar in 1951, Clark practiced law in Dallas. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy nominated Clark as assistant attorney general. Clark remained in the position until he was nominated deputy attorney general by President Johnson in 1965. After serving as attorney general from 1967 to 1969, Clark went into private practice and taught law.

Clark has been active to end political repression and human rights violations. He has provided legal assistance for those accused of war crimes in Rwanda and Kosovo. Recently, Clark has been an outspoken critic of the U.S.-led war in Iraq. As the founding chairman of the International Action Center in New York, Clark has helped organize several anti-war demonstrations in Washington over the last year.

Criticizing the use of U.S. military force, Clark has charged that despite his popularity, President Bush has "committed the highest crimes against peace -- wars of aggression -- as defined in the Nuremberg Charter." He makes the case that the American people should therefore exercise their constitutional power by impeaching the chief executive.

Clark is married to Georgia Welch; they have two children.

Event Date: May 12, 2003 Event Name: Ramsey Clark Event Type: NPC Luncheon Time: 12:30 PM Sponsored by: NPC Event Location: Ballroom Details: Washington, April 30-- “U.S. Militarism Threatens the Destiny of Humanity” is the title of an address by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark which is scheduled to be delivered to a National Press Club luncheon on Monday May 12.
Mr. Clark, Attorney General in the administration of Viet Nam War President Lyndon Johnson, is expected to argue that U.S. threats and use of devastating force against Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries has created “unprecedented fear and hostility towards the U.S.”
Now a steadfast opponent and outspoken leader against the use of U.S. military force, Mr. Clark charges that despite the popularity of President George W. Bush’s leadership, the President has “committed the highest crimes against peace--wars of aggression--as defined in the Nuremberg Charter.” He makes the case that the American people should therefore exercise their Constitutional power by impeaching the chief executive.
Mr. Clark is founding chairman of the International Action Center in New York, which organized several anti-war protest demonstrations in Washington during the last 12 months. Those demonstrations attracted hundreds of thousands of protestors. He also made several controversial trips to Iraq, and helped arrange deposed President Saddam Hussein’s face-to-face interview with CBS News anchor Dan Rather earlier this year.
