Citing recent steep declines in crude oil prices and their dramatic impact on unemployment in Kansas, the delegation noted that "when coupled with the joblessness that has resulted from severally reduced revenues and business activity in agriculture, there are few readily available options fpr workers who have lost their jobs in the oil and gas industry. "Retraining and job search assistance will be essential in conducting a successful program to prevent long term unemployment among these workers. We feel that the circumstances surrounding this dramatic drop in job opportunities typify the kind of problem the dislocated workers program was meant to address," the delegation wrote. The letter went on to say that Kansas has put forth "a reasonable proposal" to offer much needed assistance and if the u.s. Department of Labor approves the request it will be "for the benefit of hundreds of Kansas workers." The letter was written and signed by Senators Bob Dole and 1 Nancy Kassebaum and Representatives Dan Glickman; Jan Meyers; Pat Roberts; Jim Slattery; and Bob Whittaker.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

    Table of Contents 1. Defense Travel System (DTS) – #4373 2. DOD Travel Payments Improper Payment Measure – #4372 3. Follow up Amendment 4. DOD Earmarks Cost and Grading Amendment – #4370 5. Limitation on DoD Contract Performance Bonuses – #4371 1. Amendment # 4373 – No Federal funds for the future development and operation of the Defense Travel System Background The Defense Travel System (DTS) is an end-to-end electronic travel system intended to integrate all travel functions, from authorization through ticket purchase to accounting for the Department of Defense. The system was initiated in 1998 and it was supposed to be fully deployed by 2002. DTS is currently in the final phase of a six-year contract that expires September 30, 2006. In its entire history, the system has never met a deadline, never stayed within cost estimates, and never performed adequately. To date, DTS has cost the taxpayers $474 million – more than $200 million more than it was originally projected to cost. It is still not fully deployed. It is grossly underutilized. And tests have repeatedly shown that it does not consistently find the lowest applicable airfare – so even where it is deployed and used, it does not really achieve the savings proposed. This amendment prohibits continued funding of DTS and instead requires DOD to shift to a fixed price per transaction e-travel system used by government agencies in the civilian sector, as set up under General Services Administration (GSA) contracts. Quotes of Senators from last year’s debate • Senator Allen stated during the debate last year that “as a practical matter we would like to have another year or so to see (DTS) fully implemented.” • Senator Coleman stated during the debate, “… if we cannot get the right answers we should pull the plug, but now is not the time to pull the plug.

MCCLAIN** ABSTRACT COVID-19 exposed the limitations in the current economic system on public and private support for gender equity and the intersecting impact of gender, race, and class in that lack of support. Women of color, particularly those who are Black, Latina, or Native American, were at the intersection of the inequities in the pandemic economy. The catalogue of COVID-19's impact covers all aspects of women's lives: work, family, education, health, reproduction, mental and physical well-being, and leisure. This Article argues that COVID-19 has complex implications for gender equality and gender equity as state and local governments, the federal government, and pri- vate actors focus on recovery plans.

  • Sen. Levin Secure Against Any Republican in 2014
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 19, 2012 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Sen. Levin secure against any Republican in 2014 Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's latest Michigan poll finds Democratic Senator Carl Levin sitting pretty with a net +11 point approval rating 46/35. While that number is very solid; Junior Senator Debbie Stabenow has even higher approval: 55/36. Relatively prominent Republicans in the State had poor name recognition among voters. U.S. Reps Justin Amash and Mike Rogers were seen as more unfavorable than favorable, 11/17 and 17/18 respectively. In both cases, over 65% of respondents had no opinion either way, which suggests familiarity is the issue, not necessarily favorability. Rep Candice Miller was the only Republican polled to receive a net positive favorability 34/23. Only 15% of voters knew State Sen. Roger Kahn well enough to have an opinion about him. State Attorney General Bill Schuette has a slight disapproval of 18/22, with 60% not sure. In hypothetical head-to-heads for the 2014 Senate seat, Carl Levin dominated against any potential Republican opponent. Poor name recognition is a clear factor: Candice Miller had the highest name recognition of all the Republicans polled; and she fared the best against Levin, 52/34. Amash performed second-best, 53/32. Kahn and Schuette each trail Levin by 22 points, 53/31 and 54/32 respectively. Rogers performed the worst-55/31. Michigan voters approve of the job President Obama is doing 53/44.
