  • Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968
    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

  • Off Campus: to Move Forward, Washington May Have to Take a Look Back
    October 21, 2013 Off Campus: To move forward, Washington may have to take a look back Margaret Chase Smith’s courageous actions in 1950 suggest how to handle current political dysfunction. By Joseph McDonnell, dean of the USM College of Management and Human Service PORTLAND — How has politics changed in Maine and the nation in the last 60 years? What can today’s public officials learn from the past to manage the deep divisions in the state and nation and make our political institutions work again? These are just some of the questions that the lecture series “Politics Then and Now, in Maine and the Nation,” sponsored by the Muskie School of Public Service and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Southern Maine, is seeking to answer. It is fitting that Maine’s past and present public officials address these issues, as Maine has produced an extraordinary number of bipartisan national leaders considering the state’s small population. Sens. Margaret Chase Smith, Edmund S. Muskie, William Cohen, George Mitchell, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Angus King, while from different political orientations, share a characteristic absent in Washington today – a readiness to reach across the aisle to find common ground. Today’s elected officials could take a lesson from Sen. Smith. At the height of the Cold War, she rebuked a fellow Republican senator, Joseph McCarthy, for his tactics to rid the country of communist sympathizers. In a courageous “Declaration of Conscience,” Smith chastised McCarthy for creating a culture of fear, bigotry and smear that threatened citizens of conscience and jeopardized the reputation of Congress.

  • JM-1142 Chairman Committee on Inter- Re: Types of Retirement Plans Governmental Relations That Appraisal Districts May Texas State Senate Offer Their Employees P
    February 12, 1990 Honorable Hugh Parmer Opinion No. JM-1142 Chairman Committee on Inter- Re: Types of retirement plans governmental Relations that appraisal districts may Texas State Senate offer their employees P. 0. Box 12068 (RQ-1778) Austin, Texas. .78711 Dear Senator Parmer: We understand you to ask essentially two questions. First, you ask us to specify the types of retirement plans that an appraisal district may offer its employees. Second, you wish to know what will be the income tax consequences to individual appraisal district employees and the proper method of disbursing funds held in any retirement plans in the event that any plans already in place were entered into improperly. Your opinion 'request is prompted.by. the issuance of Attorney General Opinion JM-1068 (1989), which concluded that appraisal districts were without authority to enter into certain contracts providing retirement plans for appraisal district employees. We construed the question submitted in that request to ask whether an appraisal district had the authority to create a local retirement system, authority similar to that conferred on incorporated cities and towns by V.T.C.S. article 6243k and on counties by V.T.C.S. article 62283. Because no statute confers explicit authority on appraisal districts or, for that matter, on any other sort of.special.district to create such a local system, we concluded that no such authority existed.1 The opinion apparently has been misconstrued to 1. This opinion should not be construed to call into question the legitimacy of a plan authorized by special law creating a special district.
