That same year, Kennedy, then chief counsel of the Senate’s Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management (also known as the McClellan Committee or the Rackets Committee) wrote Golden about his goal of bringing down union boss Jimmy Hoffa. The two exchanged letters about each other’s speeches and writings, and Golden campaigned hard for Kennedy when he ran for and won a seat in the U.S. Senate in 1964. Golden wrote more than once that he “loved Robert Kennedy like a brother.”
