==Affiliations==
Lastrapes was listed in 1984 as a member of the [[Council for National Policy]], a conservative think-tank begun by the Louisiana Republican (then a Democrat) [[Woody Jenkins]] intended to be a balance to the [[Council on Foreign Relations]]. Another Louisiana Republican who joined the group was state Representative Arthur William Sour, Jr., (1924–2000) of Shreveport, who legislative service parallels the mayoral years of Mayor Lastrapes. Still another was state Representative and later state Senator [[Dan Richey]], formerly of Ferriday in Concordia Parish.
