He was elected in California as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1976, defeating incumbent Democrat John V. Tunney. Hayakawa served from January 3, 1977 to January 3, 1983, but his term was quite undistinguished (as he was also slipping into senility.) After an episode where he fell asleep at his desk on the Senate floor, he became known by the unflatteringly nickname of "Sleeping Sam." Understandably he did not stand for reelection in 1982.
