Originally joining Washington as legislative counsel to Senator Hubert Humphrey in 1955 he worked with then Vice President Humphrey to compose a memorandum from Humphrey to President Johnson warning about the negative consequences of escalation and intensification of the war in Vietnam. From the memorandum dated Washington February 17 1965: "SUBJECT Vietnam.

Time magazine in 1971 mentioned the INR study and dubbed it the State Department's version of the Pentagon Papers. But Hughes's study remained classified until 2004.Hughes upon the publication of the State Department study of the INR and Vietnam assessed his and his bureau's role in these terms: ".we have the ironic satisfaction of knowing that most of our forecasts have been vindicated by history.
