  • The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy

    The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy

    N 1956, AT THE TENDER AGE OF THIRTY-TWO, Frank Church made a bold bid for the United States Senate. After squeak- I ing out a victory in the hotly contested Idaho Democratic pri- mary, Church faced down incumbent Senator Herman Welker, re- ceiving nearly percent of the vote. One issue that loomed over the campaign was an emerging dis- pute over building dams in the Snake River’s Hells Canyon. While Church and other Democrats supported the construction of a high federal dam in the Idaho gorge, their Republican opponents favored developing the resource through private utility companies. Idaho EVOLUTION voters split on the issue, and so, seeking to avoid a divisive debate, Church downplayed his position during the general election “be- of an cause it was not a winning issue, politically.”1 Senator Frank Church Although Church won the election, he could not escape the is- sue. Indeed, his victory and subsequent assignment to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs put him at the center of a growing controversy about damming Hells Canyon. Over the next eighteen years, Church wrestled with balancing Idaho’s demand for economic growth and his own pro-development beliefs with an emerging environmental movement’s demand for preservation of nature—in Idaho and across the nation. As he grappled with these competing interests, Church under- went a significant transformation. While Church often supported development early in his Senate career, he, like few others of his time, began to see the value of wild places and to believe that rivers offered more than power production opportunities and irrigation water.

    IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES: POLARIZATION AND PARANOIA By ROBERT WINSTON SCHARR A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Robert Winston Scharr To my most loyal family and friends ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My study of Congress began close to a decade ago, when my advisor, Dr. Lawrence Dodd, instructed me on the inner workings of the institution. Dr. Dodd, together with Dr. Scot Schraufnagel, had begun a series of works linking legislative productivity to partisan polarization. Amidst the legislative gridlock of the time, I noticed an increasingly contentious discourse on immigration policy both within and outside the institution of Congress. Having lived abroad before, and having dealt with the realities of being a foreigner, and having befriended countless immigrants visiting my own country, I have always placed a high value on advocating a fair treatment of immigrants. Thus, I formed an interest in Congress passing reform that accommodates the millions of immigrants who contribute to American society, with, of course, the safeguards necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the U.S. immigration system. With this in mind, I began to explore why Congress was able to make progress with reform in previous eras, but unable to do so in the modern era. I found my first major clue in the historical DW-NOMINATE trends put forth by Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, which seek to measure ideology of individual members as well as the ideological distance between the two major parties.

  • Crapo Is Knocking on Bill Borah's Door

    Crapo is knocking on Bill Borah's door Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune He has more then $3.5 million socked away in a campaign treasury. And he seems to have discouraged any serious threat to his re-election. Were one in the making, an opponent would have emerged by now. The GOP primary is 10 months away, so it's getting late. He's been coronated before. He actually ran unopposed in 2004. But such longevity is not the norm in Idaho. With nearly 24 years in Washington, D.C. - six in the House, 18 in the Senate - Crapo's tenure already has eclipsed that of Len Jordan, Compton White, Steve Symms and Henry Dworshak. He's about to pull even with Sen. Jim McClure, R-Idaho, and Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho. Both of them served 24 years. That leaves Congressman Burton French, R-Idaho, who served 26 years, and Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, whose 28-year career ended abruptly in scandal. Another term would mean 30 years in office for Crapo - leaving him second only to Sen. William E. Borah, who died in 1940, just two months shy of completing 33 years in office. This is more than trivial. It begs some questions: What does Crapo expect to accomplish in the next six years that he has not already produced in the past 24? McClure could boast of delivering substantial appropriations to the Idaho National Laboratory and steering public lands policy. Church had passed a wilderness bill, investigated the intelligence community and secured ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty.

    Eastland Collection File Series 1: Personal/Political Subseries 18: Congressional Correspondence

    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 1: PERSONAL/POLITICAL SUBSERIES 18: CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENCE The eleven boxes in this subseries contain Eastland’s correspondence with U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, as well as various non-member congressional offices and agencies. Arranged alphabetically by the last name of the member of Congress, the inventory then provides a chronological, item-level description of each document. Eastland correspondence with congressional office and committee staff appears under the relevant member of Congress. Correspondence with no apparent date is placed at the end of each file. The item-level description includes a brief summary of the topic under discussion. Subjects discussed range from routine birthday greetings; thank you notes for gifts; requests for signed photographs, surplus tickets, or publications; and discussions of committee assignments. Other letters may contain in-depth analysis of politics and legislation with attached memoranda and publications. Also present are drafts of tributes by Eastland honoring various colleagues. Researchers should note that members of Congress often send letters addressed as “My dear Senator,” or “Dear Colleague” to either the entire Congress or to the membership of their respective legislative branch. However, those letters on the inventory designated as specifically addressed to Eastland were not necessarily sent to him alone. Also, note that Eastland occasionally received copies of correspondence between other members of Congress, as well as correspondence between other members of Congress and the executive branch or federal government agencies. Occasionally, correspondence between Eastland and constituents are filed in this subseries if the only topic under discussion is a particular member of Congress.

    Jerry T. Verkler Staff Director Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, 1963-1974

    Jerry T. Verkler Staff Director Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, 1963-1974 Preface by Donald A. Ritchie The Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 created the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs out of what had been the Committees on Public Lands, Indian Affairs, and Territories, Mines, and Irrigation and Reclamation. The new Interior committee gained jurisdiction over legislation dealing with America's vast public lands and territories, national parks, battlefields, forest reserves, irrigation and reclamation, water supply, interstate compacts, and mineral resources. During the 1950s and '60s the committee concentrated on the planning and management of public lands and resources in the West. Increasingly during the 1960s and '70s the committee handled national environmental and energy issues, so much so that in 1977 it was renamed the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. James Murray (D-Montana) chaired the Interior Committee from 1955 to 1961, but his failing health passed real leadership onto Senators Clinton Anderson (D- New Mexico) and Henry M. Jackson (D-Washington). Anderson formally chaired the committee from 1961 to 1963, and Jackson from 1963 to 1981. Spanning the service of both chairmen, Jerry T. Verkler joined the committee's staff in 1961 under Anderson and became staff director two years later under Jackson. Born in Black Rock, Arkansas in 1932, Jerry Verkler moved with his family in 1938 to Detroit, Michigan, and in 1948 to Albuquerque, New Mexico. He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1954, served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1954 to 1956, and received his law degree from George Washington University in 1960.
