George Herman Mahon was born on September 22, 1900, near Haynesville,
Louisiana to John Kirkpatrick and Lola Willis (Brown) Mahon. In 1908 the family
moved to Loraine, Mitchell County, Texas. Mahon graduated from Loraine High
School in 1918. On December 21, 1923 he married Helen Stephenson. The couple
had one daughter. Mahon received his BA in 1924 from Simmons College (later
known as Hardin-Simmons). He graduated from the University of Texas Law School
in 1925. After additional postgraduate work at the University of Minnesota, he
became a practicing lawyer in Colorado City, Texas in 1925.
The following year, Mahon was elected as the Mitchell County Attorney
and in 1927 was appointed district attorney for the Thirty-second Judicial
District by Texas Governor Dan Moody. The Democrat served two terms as district
attorney from 1928-1932, after which he won the congressional seat for the
Nineteenth Congressional District in 1934. He remained in office forty-four
years. In 1978 the West Texan retired as the longest sitting member of
Congress.
Mahon served on a number of House committees, including: insular
affairs, elections, civil service, and census. In 1939 he gained a seat on the
powerful House Appropriations Committee. Beginning in 1940 the leader secured
membership on the War Department Appropriations Subcommittee (later known as
the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee). He served as chairman of the
subcommittee from 1949 to 1952 and 1955 to 1978. He was considered an expert in
defense matters and become one of a handful of congressmen who had early
knowledge about the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb during
World War II. Mahon, an advocate of limited government spending, became
chairman of the Joint Senate-House Committee on Reduction of Federal
Expenditures. He also served on the Joint Senate-House Study Committee on
Budget Control, as well as on the President's Commission on Budget Concepts.
Ultimately, in 1964, the Texan became the chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations, holding that influential post until his retirement in 1978.
Mahon became a member of the Smithsonian Institution board of regents
and won numerous awards for his public service, including: the George
Washington Award of the Good Government Society; the Man of the Year Award of
the Reserve Officers Association, the Distinguished Service Award of the
American Political Science Association, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Distinguished Public Service Award for Outstanding Service to the Nation. He
was granted honorary degrees by Waynesburg College, Pepperdine College, Wayland
Baptist College, Hardin-Simmons University, and Texas Technological College. In
Lubbock, Texas, the George and Helen Mahon Library, the Texas Tech University
Mahon Professorship in Law, and the George Mahon Elementary School were all
named in his honor.
