REPORT OF BOARD PRESIDENT Renaming Public School No. 6 to Senator Frank R. Lautenberg School and Naming of the Hazel & Marshall Street School Dr. Hani Awadallah School Page 1 08/28/13 Comm. Irving: I want to welcome everyone here tonight to really the first meeting for the school year. In some ways this is more or less a reorganization meeting for us as we get together and really kick off all the initiatives and programs that are happening for our school district. I want to take the privilege of first presenting two resolutions to the Board. They are the resolutions to rename two schools after two folks who have served our community quite well. There will be the reading first naming School 6 after Senator Frank Lautenberg and then designating the naming of the Hazel & Marshall School the Dr. Hani Awadallah School. Dr. Awadallah’s family isn't here, but there are representatives from the Arab American Civic Association here who will receive the citation that we have for him. Senator Lautenberg’s family could not be here, but they will be present whenever we decide to do a ribbon-cutting and opening of School 6. Without further ado, let me first get into the resolution for School 6. I'll read the resolution, ask for a motion, we'll entertain a motion, get any comments Board members have, we'll do a roll call, and then I'll go right into the other resolution for the Dr. Hani Awadallah School. We’ll go through that piece and I will ask Dr. Evans to join me down on the floor to hand the citation over to the Arab American Civic Association and then offer folks who might be from the Arab American Civic Association an opportunity to say some brief words. RENAMING PUBLIC SCHOOL NO. 6 SENATOR FRANK F. LAUTENBERG SCHOOL WHEREAS, Paterson Public School District buildings or separate school facilities shall be named only by formal action of the Board of Education, and WHEREAS, special consideration should be given to names of deceased persons who have demonstrated contributions to education; contribution to society; contribution to Paterson; historical contribution; international contribution; multicultural contribution; and ethical character, and WHEREAS, the School Naming Committee convened to consider the renaming of Public School No. 6 consistent with district policy on Naming of Schools and Facilities, and WHEREAS, Frank Raleigh Lautenberg was born in Paterson, New Jersey, the son of Eastern European immigrants and attended Public School No. 6 located at 137 Carroll Street, and WHEREAS, Frank R. Lautenberg was elected to the United States Senate in 1982 and served until 2001, and was re-elected to the Senate in 2002 and served until his death in 2013, and WHEREAS, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg served in the Army Signal Corps during World War II and was the last serving veteran of World War II in the United States Senate, and WHEREAS, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg was known primarily for focusing on what he called “things that affect everyday life” such as banning smoking on airplanes and keeping guns away from domestic abusers, and WHEREAS, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg was recognized by the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who stated “He improved the lives of countless Americans with his commitment to our nation’s health and safety, from improving our public transportation to protecting citizens from gun violence to ensuring that members Page 2 08/28/13 of our military and their families get the care they deserve”, and WHEREAS, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg was also recognized by fellow senators with statements such as: “an American story, but, in his heart and in his lifetime, he was a man from New Jersey, a kid from Paterson” “as a senator, Frank never compromised his principals and was a fierce advocate for the citizens of New Jersey”…history will show that Frank is one of the most productive senators in the history of America” “…Frank was a patriot whose success in business and politics made him a great American success story and a standout even within the fabled Greatest Generation” “Frank Lautenberg was the very best of the Greatest Generation. He grew up poor, served his nation bravely during World War II, led a company that created tens of thousands of jobs, and spent the second half of his life giving back via public service” “...a life dedicated to serving the United States” WHEREAS, the School Naming Committee determined that the late Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of the State of New Jersey, based on his life-long dedicated service to the State of New Jersey and as a former resident of the City of Paterson and attendee of Public School No. 6, merits inclusion among the honorees for which schools are currently named in Paterson, now THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Paterson Board of Education approves the renaming of Public School No. 6 to SENATOR FRANK R. LAUTENBERG SCHOOL as presented on August 28, 2013, and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that this resolution shall be effective upon its adoption. It was moved by Comm. Martinez, seconded by Comm. Cleaves that the Board approves the Renaming of Public School No. 6 to Frank R. Lautenberg School. Comm. Hodges: Mr. President, was this part of the packet? Comm. Irving: No, it was not. Comm. Hodges: This Board has made it clear to the Superintendent that it did not want to vote on measures that the Board had not had an opportunity to review in substantial time. If we're going to do away with our own rules, then we're not going to be able to hold him responsible. I don’t understand why this couldn’t have come in any of the days mailings since this committee has met. While I support the resolutions, I'm just concerned if we don’t follow our own rules then we can't ask the Superintendent or anybody else to. That seems to be a practice here. We shouldn’t be voting on measures that we don’t have an opportunity to read before they come to this meeting and we have stated that. Page 3 08/28/13 Comm. Irving: Thank you, Dr. Hodges. I do want to just remind us that we did at the workshop meeting in August discuss that this resolution was coming forth. I understand you just got it. Comm. Hodges: You discussed that a resolution was coming forth, but until you read the language of the resolution you haven't read it. Comm. Irving: Fair enough. Are there any other questions and statements? On roll call all members voted as follows: Comm. Cleaves: Yes. Comm. Hodges: Only because of the significance and importance of these measures. I have made it a past practice to vote down such things because I try to be consistent, but in view of the importance of these two items I'm going to vote yes. Comm. Martinez: Yes. Comm. Teague: Yes. Comm. Irving: Yes. The motion carried. NAMING OF THE HAZEL AND MARSHALL STREET SCHOOL DR. HANI AWADALLAH SCHOOL WHEREAS, Paterson Public School District buildings or separate school facilities shall be named only by formal action of the Board of Education, and WHEREAS, special consideration should be given to names of deceased persons who have demonstrated contributions to education; contribution to society; contribution to Paterson; historical contribution; international contribution; multicultural contribution; and ethical character, and WHEREAS, the School Naming Committee convened to consider the naming of the Hazel and Marshall Street School consistent with district policy on Naming of Schools and Facilities, and WHEREAS, Dr. Hani Awadallah demonstrated his commitment as an educator for 44 years at Montclair State University until his untimely death on January 9, 2012, and WHEREAS, Dr. Hani Awadallah was the lead facilitator in establishing the Cultural Enrichment and Arabic Language Program which teaches students, ages 6-16, the Arabic Language, cultural enrichment and civic responsibilities as Arab-Americans for more than 13 years on Saturday mornings and during the summer months at Charles J.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT “The Peculiar Status of Puerto Rico: Neither a State, nor an Independent Nation” is a study of the creation of the peculiar status of Puerto Rico. The research traces the steps from the American acquisition of Puerto Rico from Spain in 1898 to the granting of US citizenship to Puerto Ricans in 1917, cementing the ambiguous status of the island. The burgeoning industrial and agrarian economy of the late-nineteenth century United States generated an overproduction of goods without sufficient domestic and foreign markets. At the same time the closing of the frontier halted continental expansion, thus limiting the available free soil sought by the new waves of immigrants and their pressure pushing native populations westward. The combined economic forces of overproduction and the closing of the frontier led to social problems like unemployment and labor unrest, which consequently led to political problems subsequent administrations attempted to tackle. In search of new markets, the United States sought expansion into Central and South America bringing the US in conflict with Spain, still holding Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.
