Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I kōwhiria a Strauss hei Tumuaki o te Democratic National Committee. Ahakoa i whakapakarihia e tana angitu i te 1974, kaore he kaiarahi o te roopu mo te tohu perehitini i te 1976. I a ia e noho tahanga ana i roto i te pakanga mo te whakaingoatanga, i āta hanga anōtia e Strauss ngā pūtea o te rōpū, ā, i whakamahere i tētahi hui ā-motu i New York City, kia murua ai ngā maharatanga o ngā hui whakararuraru o
1968 me te tau 1972.
