He was an acknowledged policy expert on issues of national security, nuclear weapons, energy and environmental causes. Affectionately known in local circles as the "Senator from Boeing," he played a significant role in acquiring military and defense contracts for the Northwest aerospace giant.

At the time of his death he was the highest ranking Democrat to serve on the Armed Services Committee and was leading member of the Select Committee on Intelligence. In 1972 and 1976, he ran unsuccessful campaigns to win the Democratic nomination for the U.S. presidency. Following his death the nuclear attack submarine "Henry M. Jackson" was commissioned in his honor, and the "Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies" was established on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle. On June 26, 1984 he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan for his many years of distinguished public service to the nation. Bio by: Nils M. Solsvik Jr.

  Henry Martin «Scoop» Jackson (født 31. mai 1912, død 1. september 1983) var en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Jackson var norsk-amerikaner. Han avla juristeksamen ved University of Washington i 1935. Han ble valgt inn i Kongressen for første gang i 1941, da som representant fra Washingtons andre distrikt (inntil 1953). Han var senator fra hjemstaten Washington i tretti år, fra 1953 til sin død i 1983. Han var en anti-sovjetisk demokrat, støttet Vietnamkrigen, og omtales gjerne som en innflydelsesrik nykonservativ. Han forsøkte å bli nominert som Demokratenes presidentkandidat i både 1972 og 1976, men tapte for henholdsvis George McGovern og Jimmy Carter. Jackson døde den 1. september 1983 i hjembyen Everett, 71 år gammel.
