  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • The Daniel K Inouye Institute Has Been Working Hard to Share the Senator's Legacy Across the Country from Maine, to Washington DC, and of Course, Right Here in Hawaii
    September 23, 2019 Dear Friends: It's been a busy summer! The Daniel K Inouye Institute has been working hard to share the Senator's legacy across the country from Maine, to Washington DC, and of course, right here in Hawaii. So much so that we are breaking our updates into 2 newsletters! Christening of the Daniel Inouye (DDG 118) On June 21-22, 2019 the DKI ohana gathered in Bath, Maine for the christening of the Navy Destroyer Daniel Inouye (DDG 118), which will arrive in its homeport of Pearl Harbor in early 2021 under the leadership of Commanding Officer CDR DonAnn Gilmore, Master Chief Thomas Mace, and more than 300 sailors. We are honored that the USS Daniel Inouye’s first commander will be a woman. Hawai‘i Community Foundation • 827 Fort Street Mall • Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96813 • 808.537.6333 www.danielkinouyeinstitute.org Just getting to Maine was a monumental task! We deiced that a plastic lei on the DANIEL INOUYE just would not do, so we went to work. Thanks to support from Brion Chang and his team, 8 segments -- feet each, a massive ti-leaf lei (tied to a 1-inch diameter rope), which when assembled stretched 75 feet - a double strand lei. Watch this video to see the lei being assembled at the shipyard upon our arrival. https://youtu.be/XTi5d9OV0PU. The shipyard staff was eager to learn how to build the lei, and really enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers. In addition, we brought 4 dozen lei for dignitaries, together with Big Island Candies, Kauai's special salt and a host of omiyage for special guests.

  • The Magnuson-Stevens Act a Bipartisan Legacy of Success
    The Magnuson-Stevens Act A Bipartisan Legacy of Success Since 1976, when what is now called the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) was first signed into law, Republicans and Democrats have agreed that conserving America’s ocean fish makes good economic and environmental sense. Today, Congress should continue this tradition of bipartisan support for the MSA and preserve its legacy of success by opposing any efforts to weaken the law. Over the years, Congress has recognized the value of protecting ocean fish resources from overfishing (taking fish faster than they can reproduce) by providing managers with the legal tools to sustainably manage our nation’s ocean fisheries. Through Photo: Associated Press multiple reauthorizations, Congress President George W. Bush signs the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation strengthened the MSA by mandating an end and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006, joined by Sen.

  • From Exclusion to Inclusion
    From Exclusion to Inclusion 1941–1992 Around 9 :00 in the morning on April 21, 1945, Daniel K. Inouye, a 20-year-old army lieutenant from Honolulu, Hawaii, was shot in the stomach on the side of a mountain in northwestern Italy. The German bullet went clean out his back and missed his spine by a fraction of an inch. “It felt like someone punched me,” he remembered years later. “But the pain was almost non-existent. A little ache, that’s all and since the bleeding was not much I said well, I’ll keep on going.”1 Later that morning, Inouye, a pre-med student who had been getting ready for church when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was hit again. This time a rifle grenade nearly blew off his entire right arm. After picking up his tommy gun with his left hand, he continued to charge up the hill, firing at German soldiers as he went. Eventually shot in the leg, Inouye waited until his men seized control of the mountain before being evacuated.2 The war in Europe ended 17 days later. Inouye lived in military hospitals for the next two years to rebuild his strength and learn to do everyday tasks with one arm. The war forced him to adapt, and over the next two decades, the country he nearly died for began to adapt to the war’s consequences as well. For the most marginalized people—women and minorities, especially—World War II had profound implications for what it meant to be American.

  • Stategic Leadership Senator Daniel Inouye
    AIR WAR COLLEGE AIR UNIVERSITY STATEGIC LEADERSHIP SENATOR DANIEL INOUYE by JAMES BARROS, LTC. HI ARNG 30 November 2015 Hawaii’s Senator Daniel K. Inouye began his service to the country of his birth on December 7, 1941. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Daniel Inouye was a high school student who volunteered with the Red Cross assisting wounded and training other volunteers. The child of Japanese immigrants, Daniel K. Inouye’s dedicated service, steadfast integrity and ability to build consensus molded him into a nationally recognized leader and the most senior member of the U.S. Senate in 2010. When given the opportunity to serve his country, he joined the United States Army with second generation Japanese Americans, known as “Nisei.” They formed the 422 Regimental Combat Team, and this regiment of a “bunch of Japs” shipped out in May 1944 to the European Theater and became a highly decorated combat unit.1 During the war, Inouye received a battlefield commission and lost his arm to a grenade; as a result, he earned the nation’s highest award- the Medal of Honor.2 Inouye’s service to the citizens of Hawaii began upon his return from World War II. He returned to the University of Hawaii, changing his major from medical to law due to his wartime injury. While a student at the University, he worked with other citizens of Hawaii in their attempts to “rehabilitate the Democratic Party of Hawaii.”3 At the time, the Republican Party of Hawaii, representing a small minority of the citizens of the territory of Hawaii, effectively controlled the territorial legislature.

  • A Remembrance of US Senator Daniel K. Inouye
    A Remembrance of U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye [1924 - 2012] by Billy Frank, Jr. [NWIFC*] Aloha, Senator. Aloha, Mrs. Inouye. Aloha, Patricia Zell. Monday's death of United States Senator Daniel Inouye was a crushing blow personally. In his quarter-century as Chairman and Member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee [SIAC], I came to know him well - as did many Native nations across the country. We were his people - and he - our hero, our champion, our man! I met him first more than thirty years ago through his Senate colleague, the great Warren G. Magnusen and Maggie's wife Jermaine. Magnusen's last Congress became a personal commitment intent on resolving Indian issues - as aided by staff attorneys Tom Keefe and my future wife Sue Crystal. I came to work with the Senator directly when he became Senate Indian Affairs Committee Chairman in 1987 with Senator Dan Evans as vice-chair. I had known 3-term Governor Evans - not always kindly - since 1964. But when he was appointed and elected to fill the unexpired term of the powerhouse Scoop Jackson in 1983, he dedicated himself toward carrying on Magnusen's service to Indian people. The SIAC committee already had the experienced services of Dr. Patricia Zell - who earlier had been with the congressional American Indian Policy Review Commission (AIPRC) and then the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Senator Inouye relied on her forever afterward in Indian Affairs - and until Monday in personal role as confidante and friend. Patricia also had become closest friends with "Crystal." Under Inouye and Evans in 1987, there was passed a bill for Franks Landing and another to halt the killing taxes of the IRS nationally - if allowed to apply to treaty fishing or to reservation natural resources management's marginal salaries.
