Cheney Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library • THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT THROUGH: RICHARD B. CHENEY FROM: DOUGLAS P. BENNETT~ SUBJECT: Candidates for the Supreme Court I. Comments. The following comments have been received by Phil Buchen or myself concerning the nomination to the Supreme Court. 1•. Jill Ruckelshaus, Audrey Colom (Chairman of the National Women's Political Caucus) and the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs strongly urge the appointment of a woman to the Supreme Court. 2. Harry Dent holds the firm belief that the appointee should be a conservative woman. 3. Roger Blough advised the nomination of an individual with a 11 middle of the road'' philosophy rather than a more conservative one. Blough's reasoning was that if the Court was perceived as being unduly conservative then respect for it as an institution would be diminished. 4. Congressman Grassley (R-Iowa) urged the appointment of a 11 conservative strict constructionalist. 11 5. Congressman Michel (R-Ill.) urged that the appointment 11 be excellent. 11 If so, he would not be concerned if the individual was a Democrat. II. Candidates.

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals

Gilhool LEGAL ADVOCATE FOR DEINSTITUTIONALIZATION AND THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Interviews conducted by Fred Pelka 2004-2008 Copyright © 2010 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Thomas K. Gilhool, dated April 6, 2005. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

Since 1870 women gradually have desegregated every kind and level of court from Justice of the Peace to the United States Supreme Court. l However, the degree of integration has remained token for over one hundred years.2 Women held as of 1983 only 6% of the attorney judge­ ships, a percentage which is disproportionate to the 13 % in practice, the 38 % in law school, and the majority status of women as citizens.3 Women will exceed tokenism in the courts only if three simultaneous conditions take place - an increase in the number of judicial positions to be filled; an increase in the * B.A.

  • Celebrating Black History Month – February 2014
    Celebrating Black History Month – February 2014 Black History Month remains an important moment for America to celebrate the achievements and contributions black Americans have played in U.S. history. Arising out of "Negro History Week," which first began in the 1920s, February has since been designated as Black History Month by every U.S. president since 1976. Below is a list of 30 inspirational quotes from some of the most influential black personalities of all time: 1. "Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise." - Maya Angelou 2. "We should emphasize not Negro history, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice." - Carter Woodson 3. "Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power." - Barbara Jordan 4. "Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated." - Coretta Scott King 5. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr. 6. "I am where I am because of the bridges that I crossed. Sojourner Truth was a bridge. Harriet Tubman was a bridge. Ida B. Wells was a bridge. Madame C. J. Walker was a bridge. Fannie Lou Hamer was a bridge." - Oprah Winfrey 7. "Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us." - Susan L.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.
