    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin. [ 2 ] EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, 1789–2005 First Administration of GEORGE WASHINGTON APRIL 30, 1789, TO MARCH 3, 1793 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Virginia.

  • Another Tale of Two Cities: a Summary of the Lessons Learned
    Another Tale of Two Cities: A Summary of the Lessons Learned What Two Capital City, University Towns Can Learn From Each Other Andy Redman May 2004 The Ray Marshall Center prepared this report with funds provided from Louisiana State University and LUBA Workers’ Comp. The views expressed in this report are the author’s and do not represent the positions of Louisiana State University, LUBA Workers’ Comp, or The University of Texas at Austin. FOREWORD Students at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs are required to conduct original research and write a professional report under the supervision of at least two faculty readers in order to receive their Masters in Public Affairs degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past three decades, hundreds of LBJ School students have done so, a number of them under my supervision, in whole or in part, while working at the Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources, a research center of the School. This report and its author, Andy Redman, are a part of this tradition, but they are also distinctive in a number of respects. First, Andy decided that he could only tackle the PR if he felt it had the potential for affecting policy and practice in some meaningful way. He wanted it to make a difference, now if possible. He wanted to help his hometown get on a path to a brighter economic future. Second, Andy chose to pursue outside funding for his research from those who would be most likely to make use of its findings, namely LUBA Workers Comp and Louisiana State University.

  • Goldsmith Prospectus Final May 30 Clean
    “Beyond the Buffalo Hunt”: Educating for Economic Development in the North Carolina Black Belt, 1965 – 2002 William D. Goldsmith Dissertation Prospectus, Duke History Department 8 April 2014 “Shadows in the Sunbelt,” was the phrase that a blue-ribbon panel of southern politicians and economic policy experts in 1986 invoked for the plantation South’s economic problems. The 1970s had been a hopeful era of “rural renaissance,” as dubbed by such policy elites, including for the black belt—those rural, heavily African American counties that span the rich soil from Virginia to Texas where Old South slave-based agriculture predominated prior to emancipation. A steady stream of firms shifted manufacturing operations there from the deindustrializing North, and blacks were successfully challenging employment discrimination while directly influencing local politics in ways they had not since Reconstruction. But with the recession of the early 1980s, this economic upswing faltered, forcing a search for new means of economic growth. In the estimation of this panel on rural economic development—which included the governors of Virginia and Mississippi as well as esteemed economists Charles E. Bishop and Juanita M. Kreps—globalization meant that southern states and localities had to move “beyond the buffalo hunt” for low-wage manufacturing jobs. They instead had to focus on education and entrepreneurship for economic development, a theme that emerged from a wide array of policy experts and embraced by many southern politicians. As the executive director of a southern economic policy nonprofit, MDC Inc, phrased the problem in 1988: “If we in North Carolina are going to compete with Japan, as we have to, in this global economy that we’re entering, then we’re going to have to compete with them on the basis of education—and the basis of education of our least equipped, not just our best and brightest.”1 1 MDC Panel on Rural Economic Development, “Shadows in the Sunbelt: Developing the Rural South in an Era of Economic Change,” (Chapel Hill, NC: MDC, Inc.
