    Copyright by Benjamin Jonah Koch 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Jonah Koch Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Watchmen in the Night: The House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry of Richard Nixon Committee: David Oshinsky, Supervisor H.W. Brands Dagmar Hamilton Mark Lawrence Michael Stoff Watchmen in the Night: The House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry of Richard Nixon by Benjamin Jonah Koch, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Dedication To my grandparents For their love and support Acknowledgements I owe an immense debt of gratitude to my dissertation supervisor, David Oshinsky. When I arrived in graduate school, I did not know what it meant to be a historian and a writer. Working with him, especially in the development of this manuscript, I have come to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and he has made me a better historian. Thank you. The members of my dissertation committee have each aided me in different ways. Michael Stoff’s introductory historiography seminar helped me realize exactly what I had gotten myself into my first year of graduate school—and made it painless. I always enjoyed Mark Lawrence’s classes and his teaching style, and he was extraordinarily supportive during the writing of my master’s thesis, as well as my qualifying exams. I workshopped the first two chapters of my dissertation in Bill Brands’s writing seminar, where I learned precisely what to do and not to do.

  • U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator
    U.S. Senators: Vote YES on the Disability Treaty! © Nicolas Früh/Handicap International November 2013 Dear Senator, The United States of America has always been a leader of the rights of people with disabilities. Our country created the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring the rights of 57.8 million Americans with disabilities, including 5.5 million veterans. The ADA inspired the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. The CRPD ensures that the basic rights we enjoy, such as the right to work and be healthy, are extended to all people with disabilities. Last December, America’s leadership diminished when the Senate failed to ratify the CRPD by 5 votes. In the pages that follow, you will find the names of 67,050 Americans who want you to vote Yes on the CRPD. Their support is matched by more than 800 U.S. organizations, including disability, civil rights, veterans’ and faith-based organizations. These Americans know the truth: • Ratification furthers U.S. leadership in upholding, championing and protecting the rights of children and adults with disabilities • Ratification benefits all citizens working, studying, or traveling overseas • Ratification creates the opportunity for American businesses and innovations to reach international markets • Ratification does not require changes to any U.S. laws • Ratification does not jeopardize U.S. sovereignty The Senate has an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in Washington—a second chance to do the right thing and to ratify the CRPD. We urge you and your fellow Senators to support the disability treaty with a Yes vote when it comes to the floor.We must show the world that U.S.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. Henry Kissinger: Negotiating Black Majority Rule in Southern Africa by James K. Sebenius, R. Nicholas Burns, Robert H. Mnookin, and L. Alexander Green* December 9, 2016 v1.2 Abstract: In 1976, United States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger conducted a series of intricate, multiparty negotiations in Southern Africa to persuade white Rhodesian leader Ian Smith to accede to black majority rule. Conducted near the end of President Gerald Ford’s term in office, against substantial U.S. domestic opposition, Kissinger’s efforts culminated in Smith’s public announcement that he would accept majority rule within two years. This set the stage for the later Lancaster House negotiations which resulted in the actual transition to black majority rule. The account in this working paper carefully describes—but does not analyze nor draw lessons from —these challenging negotiations. Forthcoming papers will provide analysis and derive general insights from Kissinger’s negotiations to end white minority rule in Rhodesia.

    A F R LEGISLATIVE UPDATE ON S. 1868 A F R I C A AND H. R. 8005 TO RESTORE SANCTIONS c Ill c ACTION September 28, 1973 I Pressure for early Senate vote on 0 S. 1868 is now vital. , N House hearings to be on October 5. Personal visits to members of Congress needed. Key votes listed. SENATE S. 1868 was favorably reported out ·by unanimous vote of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on September 18th following hearings on September 6th. Senate support for the bill to restore sanctions is growing and we feel relatively certain that a Senate vote will be successful. But Senators Humphrey and McGee are having difficulties pinning Senator Mansfield down on a firm date for a floor vote. We need a vote next week. Delay in the Senate may mean lack of action in the House before adjournment, which is expected to be around Thanksgiving. PLEASE PRESS SENATOR MANSFIELD TO SCHEDULE A VOTE ON S. 1868 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IMPRESS ON HIM THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF GROUPS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE, THE VOTES ARE THERE FOR A VICTORY AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE TIME AND MOMENTUM IN THE SENATE. Please address telegrams to The Hon. Micha e l J. Mansfield, Office of the Majority Leader,S 208, Capitol Building, Washington D.C. 20510, or phone (202)225-5556 or-2644. ONE KEY SENATORIAL VOTE IS THAT OF SCHWEIKER OF PENNSYLVANIA. The stainless steel industry is exerting heavy pressure on him to oppose sanctions. Schweiker discounts pro-sanctions mail he has received and claims he has not really heard from those who cara about civil rights or racial justice in Rhodesia.
