During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They Check the Tapes out of the Locked and Guarded Room of the Executive Of- Fice Building Next Door to the White House
    THE PRESIDENCY/HUGH SIDEY The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They check the tapes out of the locked and guarded room of the Executive Of- fice Building next door to the White House. Then Stephen Bull, special assistant to the President, sorts them out by number and date, as designated in the subpoenas. It is not all that easy to find the exact conversations that the prosecutors want. While the tape reels from the Oval Office have only one day's conversation or less on them, the reels from the President's hideaway in the E.O.B. may have as much as a week's conversation, depending on how frequently he secluded himself in that office. The recordings from the bugged phones in the Oval Office, the Lincoln Sit- ting Room and the E.O.B. may have as much as two or three weeks of conver- sation on them. Tension and concern now run so high in the White House over the tapes and the future of Richard Nixon that Bull and others have instituted a kind of Fail- Safe system to help guard the integrity of the tapes, or whatever of it remains. Bull will not handle the original reels. He gets only duplicates. He carefully takes each 5- in. reel and puts it on a small Sony tape recorder whose erase mechanism has been immobilized by White House technicians. Then he clamps earphones on his head and begins to track down the specified conversations that the court has ordered to be turned over. When Bull finds the right conversation he stops the machine.

This release consisted of approximately 436 conversations and totaled approximately 154 hours. The Cabinet Room was one of seven locations in which conversations were surreptitiously taped. The complete Cabinet Room conversations are available to the public on reference cassettes C1 – C251 During review of the Cabinet Room tapes, approximately 78 hours of conversations were withdrawn under the provisions of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act of 1974 (PRMPA) (44 USC 2111 note) and Executive Order (EO) 12356. These segments were re-reviewed under EO 12958 (April 17, 1995). As a result, the Nixon Presidential Materials Staff was able to open approximately 69 hours of previously restricted audio segments. The declassified segments were released on February 28, 2002, and are available as excerpted conversation segments on reference cassettes E504 – E633. These recorded White House tapes are part of the Presidential historical materials of the Nixon Administration. These materials are in the custody of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the PRMPA. Access to the Nixon Presidential materials is governed by the PRMPA and its implementing public access regulations. A Brief History of the White House Taping System In February 1971, the United State Secret Service (USSS), at the request of the President, installed listening devices in the White House.

  • Voting Representation in Congress: an Analysis of Legislative Proposals
    Order Code RL33830 District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Updated January 30, 2007 Eugene Boyd Analyst Government and Finance Division District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Summary This report provides a summary and analysis of legislative proposals that would provide voting representation in Congress to residents of the District of Columbia. Since the issue of voting representation for District residents was first broached in 1801, Congress has considered five legislative options: (1) seek voting rights in Congress by constitutional amendment, (2) retrocede the District to Maryland (retrocession), (3) allow District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate (semi-retrocession), (4) grant the District statehood, and (5) define the District as a state for the purpose of voting for federal office (virtual statehood). During the 109th Congress, several bills were introduced to provide voting representation in Congress for District residents, but none passed. The bills were of the following three types: (1) measures providing a single vote for the District in the House by increasing the number of House seats by two, one for the District and one for Utah, H.R. 2043 and H.R. 5388; (2) a measure allowing District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate, H.R. 190 (semi- retrocession); and (3) measures granting the District full voting rights in Congress (one Representative and two Senators), H.R. 398 and S. 195. (Note: based on 2000 Census data Utah is next in line to gain an additional seat if the total number of congressional seats were increased by one to 436.
