This is June 27, 2007. I'm here with Dr. Ed Harper, for the Richard Nixon Presidential Oral History Program. Dr. Harper, I'm delighted that you are joining us today for this interview. Ed Harper Thank you, glad to be here. Timothy Naftali Let's just start at the beginning. How did you come to join the Nixon administration? Ed Harper Well, I was working for Arthur Doolittle[phonetic sp], a consulting firm here in Washington, doing public policy analysis in different areas, and an old friend of mine from high school days, Bud Krogh, asked me if I'd come over and have lunch with him and John Ehrlichman, and I did. And John said, "Well, when can you join us on the domestic policy staff?" And I said, "How about Friday?" So that's how I came to be on the staff. Timothy Naftali At -- Male Speaker One second. Timothy Naftali Put to what it was before, so -- this matters, please. Ed Harper Sure. Timothy Naftali Tell us some stories. Ed Harper Well, why I was there goes back a little before that meeting. When Richard Nixon became President, he appointed Bob Mayo to be Director of the Bureau of the Budget then. And Bob Mayo was a 2007-06-27-HAR Ed Harper Interview Transcription Page 2 of 31 June 27, 2007 protégé of David Kennedy's, a banker from Chicago, and it always kind of amazed me that Kennedy just off handedly said to Nixon before the election, said, "Oh, you know, Mr. -

A Taylor Rule and the Greenspan Era
Economic Quarterly—Volume 93, Number 3—Summer 2007—Pages 229–250 A Taylor Rule and the Greenspan Era Yash P. Mehra and Brian D. Minton here is considerable interest in determining whether monetary policy actions taken by the Federal Reserve under Chairman Alan Greenspan T can be summarized by a Taylor rule. The original Taylor rule relates the federal funds rate target to two economic variables: lagged inflation and the output gap, with the actual federal funds rate completely adjusting to the target in each period (Taylor 1993).1 The later assumption of complete adjustment has often been interpreted as indicating the policy rule is “non-inertial,” or the Federal Reserve does not smooth interest rates. Inflation in the original Taylor rule is measured by the behavior of the GDP deflator and the output gap is the deviation of the log of real output from a linear trend. Taylor (1993) shows that from 1987 to 1992 policy actions did not differ significantly from prescriptions of this simple rule. Hence, according to the original Taylor rule, the Federal Reserve, at least during the early part of the Greenspan era, was backward looking, focused on headline inflation, and followed a non-inertial policy rule. Recent research, however, suggests a different picture of the Federal Re- serve under Chairman Greenspan. English, Nelson, and Sack (2002) present evidence that indicates policy actions during the Greenspan period are better explained by an “inertial” Taylor rule reflecting the presence of interest rate smoothing.2 Blinder and Reis (2005) state that the Greenspan Fed focused on We would like to thank Andreas Hornstein, Robert Hetzel, Roy Webb, and Nashat Moin for their comments. -
DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization. -
Lloyd Cutler
White House Interview Program DATE: July 8, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: LLOYD CUTLER INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar With Nancy Kassop MK: May we tape? LC: Yes, but I’d like to have one understanding. I have been misquoted on more than one occasion. I’ll be happy to talk to you about what I think about the transition but I don’t want my name attached to any of it. MK: Okay. So we’ll come back to you for any quotes. We’re going to look at both aspects: the transition itself and then the operations of the office. Working on the theory that one of the things that would be important for people is to understand how an effective operation works, what should they be aiming toward? For example, what is a smooth-running counsel’s office? What are the kinds of relationships that should be established and that sort of thing? So, in addition to looking at the transition, we’re just hoping they’re looking toward effective governance. In your time in Washington, observing many administrations from various distances, you have a good sense of transitions, what works and what doesn’t work. One of the things we want to do is isolate what are the elements of success—just take a number, six elements, five elements—that you think are common to successful transitions. What makes them work? LC: Well, the most important thing to grasp first is how much a White House itself, especially as it starts off after a change in the party occupying the White House, resembles a city hall. -

Thornton Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Phone (314) 444-8582 FAX (314) 444-8731 Email Address: [email protected] August 2012 Abstract In February 2005 Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan noticed that the 10-year Treasury yields failed to increase despite a 150-basis-point increase in the federal funds rate as a “conundrum.” This paper shows that the connection between the 10-year yield and the federal funds rate was severed in the late 1980s, well in advance of Greenspan’s observation. The paper hypothesize that the change occurred because the Federal Open Market Committee switched from using the federal funds rate as an operating instrument to using it to implement monetary policy and presents evidence from a variety of sources supporting the hypothesis. -

It consisted of the present Chapters #1-8 and an earlier (#9) version of the present Chapter #10. The dissertation version was completed in February 1980 and my Ph.D. conferred the following month. While subsequently considering whether to publish the work commercially, I updated it through 1982 with the current Chapter #9 and appropriate annotations to (original #9) Chapter #10. Later that year I decided that it was too “research-intensive” to be viable commercially, so devoted no further time to it. Over the next twenty years I was occasionally asked by friends and colleagues about The Neutron Bomb, and for whatever reason there has recently been an upsurge in such queries. So I’ve decided to make it easily available as a .pdf “ebook” on the Internet.
