  • Or Wilderness-Like Areas, but Instead Declassified Previously Protected Wildlands with High Timber Value
    48 OREGON WILD A Brief Political History of Oregon’s Wilderness Protections Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the Although the Forest Service pioneered the concept of wilderness protection in the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and trees in public parks. To say 1920s and 1930s, by the late 1940s and 1950s, it was methodically undoing whatever nothing of their values as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all good it had done earlier by declassifying administrative wilderness areas that contained the gardens and parks of town. any commercial timber. —John Muir1 Just prior to the end of its second term, and after receiving over a million public comments in support of protecting national forest roadless areas, the Clinton Administration promulgated a regulation (a.k.a. “the Roadless Rule”) to protect the Inadequacies of Administrative remaining unprotected wildlands (greater than 5,000 acres in size) in the National Forest System from road building and logging. At the time, Clinton’s Forest Service Protections chief Mike Dombeck asked rhetorically: here is “government protection,” and then there is government protection.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM 3778 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON ACTION June 21, 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: HENRY OWEN '6 SUBJECT: Summit Congressional Briefing Last week you discussed US positions at the Tokyo Summit that might involve agreement by the Summit countries on such actions as: a commitment to fixed oil import levels for 1979 and 1980; asking oil companies not to buy or sell at speculative prices in the spot market; commencing international allocation of scarce oil supplies on a voluntary basis; -- a commitment to international financing of commercial scale projects demonstrating new energy technologies, and creating a group to study how this can best be done. None of these actions would require legislation, at least initially, but all would require Congressional support. Stu and I believe that this support is more likely to be forthcoming, when you report on Summit results upon your return, if you have discussed these initiatives with Congressional leaders beforehand.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960
    The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960 By Monroe Sweetland 0 PresidentJohn E Kennedy on a visit to Astoria, Oregon, in September 1963 This content downloaded from 71.34.78.7 on Mon, 25 May 2020 18:39:50 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms The Friday in Oregon that Made Kennedy President In 1964, Monroe Sweetland, Oregon journalist and legislator and one of thefirst Kennedy organizers in Oregon, wrote this piece about the significance of the 1960 Oregon Primary. Friday, May 20, 1960, was a judgment day which could bring impetus or disaster to the Kennedy-for-President campaign - the Democratic Primary in Oregon. The bandwagon had been rolling well. Each of the six contested primaries - six potential roadblocks - had been cleared. From the beginning in New Hampshire through the rugged battles with Senator Hubert Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, the Democratic voters had thawed and then warmed to John E Kennedy. Just as the Oregon Trail had been bordered long ago with the bleached bones of those who tried but didn't quite make it, Kennedy's campaign craftsmen knew that defeat in Oregon could be decisive. The growing image of Kennedy as "a winner" could be extinguished by a rebuff in Oregon as convention-time neared. Oregon was the last of the seven contested primaries. It was the only primary testing opinion in the Far West - that terra incognita, to the Bostonians, which lay beyond the Farm Belt. To the Kennedy forces Oregon did not look good, but it couldn't be avoided.
