The central issues addressed in the hearings were w,hether the need for long-term steadiness in technology investment is holding its own against short-term budget expendiencieS, and in particular, whether the budget stress is upsetting the government-university and government-industry relationships which had cataRulted this country into postwar technollogical leadership. Following 'testimony by George A. Keyworth II(Director,. Office of Science and Technology, Executive Office of the President) on President Reagan's science policy, additional /testimony was provided by college presidents, scientists, and representatives of governmgnt and industry, addressing both general issues and those directly related to their specific areas. For example, impacts of budget cuts on science and technology programs, graduate study, and research facilities/equipmentWere among the issues addressed by the college presidents. Preparedy statements by witnesses and a summary report (supplementing teslimony of frank Press, President, National Academy of Sciences) of a conference on reserch and develbpment budget for 1982 and future years are included.

The comittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:30 a.m., in room 2318, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Don Fuqua (chairman of the committee) presiding. Mr. FUQUA. The committee will be in order: I would like to welcome our distinguished witnesses today and. thank all those in the audience for their support of efforts to sus- tain the scientific and thchnical vitality of this country through this period of bfidget stress. I, personally, have strong respect for the President's determina- tion to break the spiral of inflation. I have supported his notion that strong Federal budget restraint was a means to achieve this end I -have even understood his sense that expectations had to be changed suddenly and dramatically. However, there are crucial long-range considerations which go beyond the shifting politics of this year s budget deficit. This com- mittee's special stewardship for the Nation's science and technol- ogy enterprise has taught us that there will be bpdget issues before the Congress in whicli the long-range considerations should weigh as heavily as iri science and technology. Preserving continuity in the progress of scientific knowledge and in the development of technology is an ivestmentin the future. This investment has proven over and o er to offer payoffs beyond oui wildest dreams. This is, of course, where the President's goals of strengthening this Nation's security, enhancing its productivity, and building its innovative capability clash with his goal of sudden change in budg- etary assumptions. We must insist on a reasonable balance anfong those goals. There will be no`security or leadership in a technological world for a nation that is willing, for short-term expediency, to interrupt the training and careers of it.T most talented scientists and engineers, or abandon its most promising technical endeavors. Today, the committee is beginning its inquiry to whether the administration, through budget and other actions, is striking the appropriate balance. We will continue this with further hearings in February and through the budget authorization process next year. We will work ,elosely with our Senate colleagues who share our concern for the vii'ality of science and technology. (1) 6 2 4 feel confident that the recognition Of the need to inject long- ratige thinking into the short-range budget number juggling will be recognized on a bipartisan basis. We will place heavy reliance on the advice of the country's cien- tific and technological leadership in this process. They k4ow as well as yve do that budget stress is a fact of life, and that tem- pered or self-serving demands will have little credibilit However, 'initiatives like that of Dr Press in conveninge un- precedented October National Academy meeting on science budgets are cif enotmous value to us. The process started there will help us cealistically assess the extent of damage to the health of science - and technology, and seek ways to avoid and repair in the future. .The central question of Our hearings is whether the ,need for long-term steadiness in technology investment.is holding its own against short-term budget expediencies. There are some who say that tthere is evidence building that indicates the answer is "No We have heard many anguished voices claiming that current ac, tions and policies are disrupting proven national laboratories and interrupting promising and productive programs.

  • 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.

As as result, the user is advised that some errors in character recognition may have resulted within the text. >> ABOUT THE EXPRESSIONS IN THE 1982 QUESTIONNAIRE (NAME Y X, Y. OR Z) The 1982 tIME sERIES questionnaire made provisions to have interviewers fill in district/state candidate names in blank slots like the one depicted above. A comprehensive list of HOUSE, SENATE and GOVERNOR candidate and incumbent names was prepared for each of the 173 districts in the sample and the interviewers used the lists to pre-edit names where appropriate depending on the district of interview. These candidate lists are reproduced in the green pages section of this documentation. The (NAME #) expression will generally list more than one candidate number. For any given district, however, one of two possibilities will hold: 1) there will be one and only one name in the district candidate list qualifying for inclusion on the basis of the numbers listed in the expression; or 2) there will be no number in the district candidate list matching any of the numbers in the expression. An instance of no matching numbers arises for a question about the candidate challenging a district incumbent when, in fact, the incumbent is running unopposed. Interviewers were instructed to mark "NO INFO" those questions involving unmatched candidate numbers in the (NAME #) expression. In the candidate list, each candidate or incumbent is assigned a number or code. Numbers beginning with 1 (11-19) are for the Senate, numbers beginning with 3 (31-39) are for the House of Representatives, and numbers beginning with 5 (51-58) are for governors.

Decades of what would become a century of humiliation had disabused the country of its previous self-perceived technological superiority, as famously expressed by Emperor Qianlong to the British envoy George Macartney in 1793. The Chinese had instead become convinced that they needed knowledge from outside to become strong enough to resist imperial aggression. No country encouraged this opening more than the United States. Americans threw money and expertise at the training of Chinese students and intellectuals. The Rockefeller Foundation’s first major overseas project was the creation of China’s finest medical college and other US institutions followed Rockefeller’s lead by establishing dozens of Chinese universities and technical schools to train a new generation of Chinese scientists.

  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.
