::So I still haven't cited, but I did check the party designations listed at 88th United States Congress and there were indeed 10 Republican House members from the 11 "Southern" states (as the vote totals here indicate). Also, John Tower was, in fact, the lone Republican from those states at the time (as Strom Thurmond did not switch parties until several months later). So confirmation of my suspicion, but we still could use a citation!  |||
