July 22, 1983, Dear Mr. Mcdaniel - .. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 22, 1983, Dear Mr. McDaniel: I want to thank you for sending a copy of Building on Yesterday, Becoming To­ morrow: The Washington Hospital Center's First 25 Years to Mr. Deaver for his perusal. He is traveling out of the country at present, but I know that he will enjoy looking at it upon his return. Again, thank you for your thoughtfulness. Sincerely, Donna L. Blume Staff Assistant to Michael K. Deaver Mr. John McDaniel President The Washington Hospital Center 110 Irving Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20010 [ I THE WASHINGTON HOSPITAL CENTER II II II II July 14, 1983 Michael K. Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff Asst. to President 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: Enclosed you will find a copy of Building on Yesterday, Becoming Tomorrow: The Washington Hospital Center's First 25 Years. The hospital's history is significant in its own right because it was a struggle to provide Washington with the hospital people had been clamoring for. It was a response to the concern reflected in a 1946 Washington Post story headline which said, "District's Hospital 'Worst' in U.S., Medical Board Finds". It also seems that The Washington Hospital Center's history mirrors the history of the period which brought dramatic changes in America's approach to patient care and hospital management. Now, health care providers and managers find themselves in a new era which demands innovative strategies and financial skills that would challenge the best of the Fortune 500 scientists and executives. And we are responding to these new demands. The Washington Hospital Center is the anchor in our new multi-institutional system, The Washington Health Corporation. The vision and commitment of our trustees who created this new system matches, I believe, that of the group that worked to make The Washington Hospital Center a reality years ago. I hope you enjoy this birthday book as much as we have been enjoying this anniversary year. Sincerely, ~M~ WMcDaniel President Enclosure 110 IRVING ST., N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20010 Becoming Tomorrow washlngton Building on Yesterday, I Becoming Tomorrow l r ,__ The washlngton Hospital Center's I nrst 25 Years Contents Introduction 1 I. 1958: An End and a Beginning 3 II. 1871-1943: An Honorable Ancestry 7 III. 1943-1946: Crusade, Campaign, Victory 15 IV 1946-1952: Delays, Detours and the Determined Mr. Dewey 21 v 1952-1957: Forging Bonds 25 VI. 1958-1962: Off and Running 31 VII. 1962-1968: A New Role 39 VIII. 1968-1971: Charting a Bold Course 47 IX. 1972-1978: The Open Sea 55 X. 1979-1981: Coming of Age 65 XI. 1982-1983: The Tern po of Tomorrow 73 Appendix 81 Introduction I The regional skin bank Not a having and a rest· Throughout the ensuing 25 As the Center moves into its at the Center, providing Ing, but a growing and a skin grafts that criti­ years, the Center has con­ second 25 years it is, as usual, canr burned patients becoming is the character· tinued to honor the legacy of planning ahead with verve. istic of perfection. d<sperately need to community service inherited It has initiated a multi-hospi­ nduce pain and, some­ -Matthew Arnold, Culture rimcs. save their lives. and Anarchy from its three predecessors. tal system, adopted a cor­ i.< <quipped for cryo­ At the same time, it has never porate restructuring that ;rr.-sermfion, freezing :i.,.-__..ue to permit longer ceased to grow, to innovate paves the way for creative s!urage. and to advance.

  • The Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations
    The Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations Updated January 6, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44725 Position of Secretary of Defense: Statutory Restrictions and Civilian-Military Relations Summary The position of Secretary of Defense is unique within the United States government; it is one of two civilian positions within the military chain of command, although unlike the President, the Secretary of Defense is not elected. Section 113 of the United States Code states that the Secretary of Defense is to be “appointed from civilian life by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” The section goes on to elaborate a key mechanism by which civilian control of the armed forces is maintained: A person may not be appointed as Secretary of Defense within seven years after relief from active duty as a commissioned officer of a regular component of an armed force. The proposed nomination of General (Ret.) Lloyd Austin, United States Army, who retired from the military in 2016, to be Secretary of Defense may lead both houses of Congress to consider whether and how to suspend, change, or remove that provision. This provision was originally contained in the 1947 National Security Act (P.L. 80-253), which mandated that 10 years pass between the time an officer is relieved from active duty and when he or she could be appointed to the office of the Secretary of Defense. In 2007, Section 903 of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), Congress changed the period of time that must elapse between relief from active duty and appointment to the position of Secretary of Defense to seven years.

  • Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968
    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

Because lies vary so greatly in their motivations and consequences (among many other qualities), philosophers have long sought to catalog them to help make sense of their diversity and complexity. Augustine and Aquinas, for instance, separately proposed moral hierarchies of lies based on their differing assessments of certain lies’ relative harm and value.1 Legal scholars too have classified lies in various ways to explain why we punish some and protect others.2 * See WALLACE STEVENS, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, in THE COLLECTED POEMS OF WALLACE STEVENS 99 (Vintage Int’l 2015) (1954).
