Termination is a rejected doctrine. The Congress has rejecte~t.t.-. .. - the Courts have rejected it; I have rejected it • And no officer in my Executive Branch has any official views which hold otherwise. In our common determination to continue our work for the betterment of Indian people, as we look at the upward road still before ui', .we may tend to forget how striking is the difference between today and 1969. The Budget for the Bureau of Indian Affairs was then $262 million; for FY 1977 it is $764 million. The budget for the Indian Health Service was then $113 million, now it is $355 million. The Indian Financing Act, the Self-Determination A_ct, the Alaska Native McClanahan, Restoration Act are law. decisions are history. In agency after agency of my Executive Branch irectl there are new offices and federal Indian employees orking to aid Indian development and to protect Indian rights. In the White House itself I have an experienced staff officer assisting me in the coordination of Indian policies and programs.fi will see to I it that all these efforts will go on mlt>ated; I shall ensure that these • -2- commitments continue. There is an agencf« for the future; new proposals and new problems will arise. I look forward with enthusiasm to continuing to work on these problems in close consultation wilh such distingui~d and responsible people as the members of the National Congress of American Indians.

    Public Opinion, Policy, and Evangelicals: How Religion Continues to Impact Life in America By 2018 Bronson P. Herrera Submitted to the graduate degree program in Political Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Donald P. Haider-Markel Mark Joslyn Patrick Miller Christina Bejarano Ludwin Molina Date Defended: July 24, 2018 The dissertation committee for Bronson P. Herrera certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Public Opinion, Policy, and Evangelicals: How Religion Continues to Impact Life in America Chair: Donald P. Haider-Markel Date Approved: July 24, 2018 ii Abstract: Understanding the determinants that shape public opinion and policy preference requires a thoughtful examination of social identity. In the United States, religion has not only been a power force for group formation, but has had a consistent impact on individual opinion. To explore the role of social identity on public opinion, I primarily examine the policy preferences of Evangelicals. First, I examine whether Evangelicals and gun owners are more punitive and aggressive in their attitudes towards the death penalty and the use of military force against militant Muslim groups. Second, I explore if Evangelicals perceive discrimination against Christians, their support for the religious rights frame, and policy preferences for out- groups. Finally, using the policy diffusion framework, I examine whether or not the number of Evangelicals affects the passage of Religious Freedom Restoration Acts across the states. My findings suggest that social identity does impact public opinion and policy preference.

Co-Chair: Mark Joslyn Co-Chair: Juliet Kaarbo Donald Haider-Markel John Kennedy Ludwin Molina Date Defended: 28 June 2017 The dissertation committee for Adam David Brown certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Of Six Minds on the Matter: A Psychology-based Typology of Hawkish and Dovish Decision Makers Co-Chair: Mark Joslyn Co-Chair: Juliet Kaarbo Date Approved: 28 June 2017 ii Abstract Foreign policy elites are often labeled "hawks" or "doves," and states’ foreign policies can vary widely depending on whether hawks or doves prevail. Yet seldom asked is this question: why are some elites hawks and others doves? I seek to answer this question. A few previous studies also address this question. However, they typically suffer one or both of the following shortcomings. First, they often overlook variations among elites within the hawk and dove categories. Second, they typically fail to systematically assess the characteristics distinguishing hawks from doves. I provide an improvement by systematically assessing the characteristics distinguishing hawks from doves and exploring differences among elites within the two categories. Specifically, I propose a psychology-based six-fold typology comprising three hawkish and three dovish decision maker types.

  • Chapter 1 Policy Change in the United States
    NATIONAL AND STATE DIMENSIONS OF MAJOR POLICY CHANGE: THE REAGAN ‘REVOLUTION’ REEXAMINED by HOLLEY ELIZABETH TANKERSLEY (Under the Direction of Arnold Fleischmann) ABSTRACT The body of literature investigating why, when, and how major policy changes take place in a federal system of governance is fragmented at best. Some scholars suggest that national policy changes are initiated by partisan realignment and institutional change. Others identify change as a simple matter of top-down intergovernmental implementation. Studies of state politics focus rather narrowly on variation or diffusion of policies among the states. The present study both challenges and combines these prevailing views by determining whether policies can change from the bottom up – with states as the catalyst for changes in both the direction and content of the policy agenda at the national level. The evolution of American federalism dictates the need for scholars to reconcile national policy outcomes with theories and findings concerning state-level policy innovation and diffusion, especially as the states grow in importance and power as a consequence of devolution. If the national government impacts state policymaking, and states influence one another to adopt similar policies, then it would stand to reason that states have a residual impact on national policy. To account for the role of the states in national policy change, this dissertation explores the causal relationship between Ronald Reagan’s policy agenda (1981-1988) and policy adoptions in the states during the Reagan administration. In doing so, this dissertation tests the theoretical possibility that public policy diffuses from the state to the national level, a theory that challenges the traditional depiction of policy diffusion as an exclusively top-down process.

Separations: Two linear feet of duplicates and a constituent card file were discarded. Biographic History Marion Jean Kennedy was born on November 27, 1934, the daughter of Marion Mitchell and Edward Kennedy. Growing up on the south side of Chicago, she attended Maria High School, but came to the north side of the city to attend and graduate from Mundelein College. She married Camillo Volini, and they raised their five children in the Lakewood-Balmoral neighborhood of Chicago. Until she entered politics, she was a teacher and speech therapist in the Chicago Public Schools. Marion Kennedy Volini was formally inducted into her office as Alderman of Chicago’s 48th Ward on July 7, 1978. That comparatively short ritual in the City Council chambers gave no indication of the years of groundwork, which singularly adapted her for political office. Ten years earlier she had collaborated in the formation of a neighborhood organization—the Lakewood Balmoral Residents Council—to upgrade what at that time was known as a deteriorated area, characterized by a transient population, many unskilled or unemployed, housing shortages, negligent property owners, and store closings.
