He was reelected in 1954 and 1960.  Humphrey was an outspoken liberal on any and all issues. As a member of the Foreign Relations Committee he was known for his "Food for Peace" and multilateral disarmament proposals, as well as for his sponsorship of farm and welfare measures.  Having seen the perverse ability of the Communists to infiltrate organizations like CIO labor unions and farmer Labor groups, he helped drafted and promoted the "Communist Control Act" of 1954 as a civil libertarian measure.<ref>Mary S.

Underfunded, he was defeated by [[John F. Kennedy]] for the presidential nomination in 1960.  As Senate majority whip in 1961-64, Humphrey proved efficient in organizing support for the passage of major legislation, especially Johnson's liberal [[Great Society]].  He had been one of the most zealous advocates of a strong civil rights bill ever since his successful effort in 1948 to write an unprecedented civil rights plank into the platform of the Democratic Party. To assure passage of the Civil Rights bill in 1964, Humphrey permitted Republicans such as [[Everett Dirksen]] to take credit for the bill by turning active sponsorship over to them. He also actively supported the Peace Corps, urban renewal, federal aid to education, and the nuclear test ban treaty.
