Clinton Presba Anderson (October 23, 1895–November 11, 1975), was an American Democratic politician who served as a U.S. Congressman from New Mexico (1941-1945), as United States Secretary of Agriculture (1945_1948), and as a U.S. Senator from New Mexico (1949-1973)
Anderson was born in Centerville, South Dakota, on October 23, 1895.
Anderson was also instrumental in bringing the benefits of space exploration to the classroom.
Clinton pleaded guilty in February through his attorney to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized range treatment on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management.
Anderson said Clinton appeared to be denying any criminal conduct in the case by "calling this whole thing a bad mistake'' and gave him the option of withdrawing his plea and going to trial.
Johnson said Clinton took the sprayer to the prairie dog towns, which straddled the boundary between his ranch and BLM property, and directed him to poison the entire complex of towns.
