The entire leadership of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD), especially Don Christiansen and Gene Shawcroft, provided access to the records in their charge, read the manuscript and shared it with their co- workers. Chris Calton is a master archivist and records manager and her willingness to access and share the records at the CUWCD provided a comfort area for research. The CUWCD Board of Directors saw the need for a history and their patience and willingness is also appreciated. Reed R. Murray, Director of the Central Utah Project Completion Act (CUPCA) Office, an Interior Department agency established in 1992 to provide oversight for completing the Central Utah Project, is a walking encyclopedia of information. Through Reed’s connections, the authors recently gained access to the journals and scrapbooks of the late Palmer B. DeLong, erstwhile regional director of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Provo Office. Reed and Gene carefully read several drafts of the manuscript and were exceptional advisors. Their guidance throughout the process made a huge difference in the final product. An important aspect of creating this particular research bibliography is to understand that this is a story of the past and how it relates to the people of a particular geographic place. In combining the people with the past and the place, it is essential to understand how particular entities came together to create a community of water users who developed a system of sharing a scarce resource. It is never easy to relinquish ownership of a treasured commodity (water) for a greater benefit for more people. How and why this happened is discovered by an extensive examination of historical documents. In researching the history of water development in the Western United States, there are an overwhelming number of resources available. Many general histories have been published and some focus on the Colorado River system while others describe and detail other projects that managed the usage of water. The endnotes attached to each chapter illustrate both the variety and amount of secondary sources utilized by the authors. A decision to base this project on original archival research and oral interviews of participants led to the examination and creation of an extremely rich treasure of primary documents, as well. As with secondary sources, each primary source cited is also included at the conclusion of each chapter. The endnotes are annotated with the first citation containing a source’s full description and location. Since its inception in 1964, the CUWCD, or District, has maintained a thorough and comprehensive archive of central Utah water use and development. Combined with the records archived at the CUPCA Office, many of which date from the beginning of the Bureau of Reclamation’s planning of the CUP, these government documents gathered in one locale, made research comparatively accessible. Documents kept and collected on the Central Utah Project by the District and CUPCA Office contributed important primary sources to this volume. Included in these collections are reports, correspondence, agreements, minutes of meetings and a fantastic photographic history of the projects that collectively reshaped Central Utah’s environment. They also provide insights into the long and intriguing relationship among the Ute Tribal Council, the District, local irrigation companies, and the federal and state governments. The distribution of water and water rights is often accompanied by disputes and disagreements, and of course, the summaries of litigation are also found among these documents. As governmental depositories, these archives maintain a tremendous public record that is open for use. Through their acquisition and maintenance of federal and state documents university libraries in the state have added tremendously to our understanding of the CUP These document collections are imperative in understanding the CUP’s transition since 1985. Reports and hearings of congressional committees painstakingly record the testimony of state and local leaders, representatives of the Ute Tribe and federal officials. In 1992, Congress passed the Central Utah Project Completion Act, a document that has since guided the CUP towards its conclusion. Among other things, the Completion Act created the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission to contend with past environmental mistakes and to make certain that the CUP would continue to comply with all federal mandates. The work of the Mitigation Commission, a five member board appointed by the President of the United States, is administered by a small staff which has eagerly shared their resources regarding recent CUP developments. These include the rehabilitation of the high mountain lakes in both the Uinta and Bonneville basins, the restoration of the middle and lower Provo River, and the on-going effort to reestablish the June sucker to the Utah Lake ecosystem. The state’s university libraries are depositories, as well, for many personal collections of key individuals who participated in the political process that influenced the CUP and the CUWCD. Most senators, representatives, and governors deposited their personal papers either with a university or in the State Archives. Of particular importance are the collections of Senator Arthur V. Watkins (BYU), Representative Wayne Owens (University of Utah), and Representative Gunn McKay (USU). The universities also have supervised a number of theses and dissertations that relate to the project. Adam R. Eastman’s 2006 BYU thesis provided a reliable blueprint for studying the Central Utah Project Completion Act. The State of Utah Archives provided a valuable source to document how state officials responded to the efforts to create a system that enhanced the possibilities for agricultural, industrial, and municipal growth and development. The papers of Representative William Dawson and the gubernatorial papers of George Dern and Henry Blood are especially relevant. These personal collections provide insight into the efforts of Utah’s political leaders to obtain funding for specific aspects of the CUP, and strengthen the partnerships between the seven Colorado River Basin states. Of course, they also chronicle the failures at certain crucial times. Another aspect of university library archival collections is the ongoing effort to provide digital access to important primary sources. Not everything is published in print form, and in recent times many reports and the responses to them are now being produced electronically. The authors

Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Rockport Utah a Brief History and Photographs of Homes
    ROCKPORT UTAH A BRIEF HISTORY AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOMES Edited and Compiled by Thomas E. Brown FORWARD Several years ago I was asked to speak at sacrament meeting program in the Peoa Ward. The Peoa members of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers had planned the program and I was asked to speak about the pioneers in the valley. Since no one specifically asked me to speak about Peoa, I focused my remarks on my hometown of Rockport. Days were spent researching the subject. Books and documents in my possession provided a base, but additional information was needed. Much time was spent at the Church Historical Department reviewing documents and soon enough information had been collected to fill the assignment. After the meeting, several friends asked for copies of the talk. The information was not typed and it needed to be put together better. All this time I had a set of wonderful photographs showing the homes in Rockport taken by Florence Siddoway Walsh Hunter years before. The photos had been shown to friends who said they would like copies. Because of the interest in both the talk and the photos, I decided to get the history typed and the photos enlarged and labeled so they could be put together in some printed form. There may be misspelled names, wrong dates, incorrect information, omissions and a host of other problems with this document. Some problems may have existed in the materials I used and some may be of my own making. This is not a complete history in any sense of the word, but I hope you find some enjoyment and satisfaction in reviewing the history and the photos just as I have.

I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.
