He served as a United States Senator from Wyoming from 1977 to 1995.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He was a member of the Republican Party.<ref name=":2" />

Early yearsEdit

Wallop was born at Doctors Hospital in Manhattan, New York City, on February 27, 1933.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was the second son of Jean Moore Wallop and the Hon. Oliver Malcolm Wallop.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His paternal grandfather, Wyoming cattle rancher Oliver Henry Wallop, immigrated to the United States from England in the late 19th century and inherited the Earldom of Portsmouth.<ref name="NYTobit" /> His maternal great-grandfather was American lawyer, jurist, financier and industrialist William Henry Moore.

Wallop attended public schools in Big Horn, Wyoming.<ref name=":0" /> He then attended the Cate School in Carpenteria, California.<ref name=":0" />

He graduated from the Cate School in Santa Barbara, California. He then attended Yale University where he was a member of St. Anthony Hall. Following his graduation from Yale with a B.A. in 1954, Malcolm Wallop served in the U.S. Army as a first lieutenant from 1955 to 1957.<ref name="ffbio" /><ref name=":0" />

CareerEdit

After his discharge from the Army, Wallop began cattle ranching in Wyoming.<ref name=":0" /> He entered politics in 1969 as a successful candidate for the Wyoming House of Representatives. He served two terms, from 1969 to 1972, followed by one term in the Wyoming State Senate from 1973 to 1976.<ref name="ffbio" /><ref name="NYTobit" /><ref name=":0" />

In 1974, Wallop sought the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but was defeated in the primaries.<ref name="NYTobit" />

SenateEdit

In 1976 Wallop successfully unseated three-term Democratic U.S. Senator Gale W. McGee, winning 55 percent of the vote to win a seat in the United States Senate.<ref name="NYTobit" />

He made a campaign pledge to serve only two terms, although he went on to serve three. During his Senate tenure, Wallop supported strong national security, tax reform (including reductions in estate and gift taxes), and other elements of Reagan conservatism.<ref name="NYTobit">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:YouTube</ref>

While in the Senate, Wallop served on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and Select Committee on Intelligence. From 1981 to 1983, he served as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.<ref name=NYTobit/>

In his first term, Wallop authored the legislation that established the Congressional Award program to recognize outstanding volunteerism among America's youth. The 1977 Wallop Amendment to the Surface Mining Control Act was hailed by property rights advocates for forcing the federal government to compensate property owners whose ability to mine was undercut by regulation. Three years later, Wallop successfully amended the Clean Water Act to protect states' interests.Template:Citation needed

His bill to cut inheritance and gift taxes in 1981 was a key component of President Ronald Reagan's tax reform package and is remembered as one of the most substantive changes to tax policy that decade, and four years earlier, Wallop was partially responsible for phasing out President Jimmy Carter's windfall profits tax.<ref name="NYTobit" />

In 1977, Wallop was one of nine Senators to vote against the Senate adopting a stringent code of ethics intended to assist with the restoration of public confidence in Congress.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 1982, Wallop was re-elected by a 14-point margin over Democrat Rodger McDaniel, a Wyoming state legislator. In his second term, Wallop supported the 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative,<ref name=NYTobit/> a proposed missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attack from nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.<ref>Baucom, Donald R. "Missile Defense Milestones" Template:Webarchive. Federation of American Scientists. Accessed January 11, 2016</ref>

In 1988, Wallop won his final term by just 1,322 votes over his opponent, Democratic state senator John Vinich.Template:Citation needed Wallop's last term was characterized largely by his participation in the foreign policy and trade debates of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was a member of the Helsinki Commission and traveled extensively in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union as an arms control negotiator. Wallop was also a strong advocate of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and U.S. participation in the World Trade Organization.

From 1990 to 1994, he was the ranking Republican member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and in 1992, was a key force behind passage of the far-reaching Energy Policy Act.

In 1994, Wallop opted out of a race for a fourth term. He was succeeded by Republican Craig Thomas. Upon his retirement from the Senate, The Economist wrote of Wallop: "Although his detractors have steadily grown in number, even Democrats grudgingly admitted to liking his candor and his willingness to be stupendously politically incorrect."<ref name=NYTobit/>

Post-Senate careerEdit

After his retirement from the Senate in January 1995, Wallop founded the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, a Virginia-based non-profit group that lobbies for constitutionally limited government and a strong national defense.<ref name="ffbio">Senator Malcolm Wallop bio. Frontiers of Freedom. ff.org. Accessed January 11, 2016</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1996, Wallop served as General Chairman and Executive Director of the Steve Forbes presidential campaign, which succeeded in winning primary victories in Delaware and Arizona.<ref name="ffbio"/>
