DI CP1 F8 Ocrfoldercombined.Pdf Ralph R. Roberts Clerk OfficeHouse of of Representatives the Clerk Washington D. C. SUBJECT— CAMPAIGN RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES Dear Sir: Many inquiries regarding the requirements of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act prompts me to make the following statement: The Federal Corrupt Practices Act, 1925, as amended, does not apply to primary elections or conventions. The law makes this definition— The term "election" includes a general or special election * * * but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party. The House Committee in its report on the bill which became the Federal Corrupt Practices Act, 1925, said: "The limitation in the bill as to expenditures by a candidate applies only to the campaign leading up to the final election, and not to the primary campaign." Enclosed is a copy of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act, 1925, as amended, and the Hatch Political Activities Act, as amended, also a blank form of Statement of Receipts and Expenditures of candidate for election as Representative in Congress prepared in accordance with the provisions of said acts. Additional copies will be furnished upon application to the Clerk of the House. This statement is required to be filed with the Clerk before and after an election, not less than 10 nor more than 15 days before (use black form) and within 50 days after the date of the election (use red form). Your attention is invited particularly to the following features of the law which differ from the provisions of the old law: First. In the amount a candidate for Representative may expend— Unless the lav/s of his State prescribe a less amount as the maximum limit of campaign expenditures, a candidate for Representative may make expenditures up to $2,500; an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying 3 cents by the total number of votes cast at the last general election for all candidates for the office which the candidate seeks, but in no event exceeding $5,000 To illustrate: In the blank district of the State of blank in 1948 a total of 76,422 votes were cast. This number multiplied by 5 cents makes a total of $2,292.66. A candidate at the forthcoming election could expend lawfully not exceeding $2,500. In another district 202,896 votes were cast, which, multiplied by 5 cents, makes $6,086.88. But in this case a candidate may expend in excess of $2,500, but may not expend more than $5,000. cond. A candidate must report the total aggregate sum of tures, but not the items included in it, such as any assess- ee, or charge levied by the laws of his State, or for necessary 1, traveling, and subsistence expenses, stationery, postage, , or printing (other than for use on billboards or newspapers), tributing letters, circulars, or posters, or for telegraph phone service. The total aggregate sum of these expenditures is not included in determining the limit of campaign expenses of a candidate. Third. A candidate is required in his first statement to report the total number of votes cast for all candidates for the same office at the general election next preceding the election at which he is a candidate. This information, based upon the records of the proper State official, obtained and compiled by this office, is contained in the enclosed pamphlet entitled, "Statistics of the Congressional Election of November 6, 1956." Very truly yours, Enclosures: 1. Federal Corrupt Practices Act RALPH R. ROBERTS, and Hatch Political Activities Act. Clerk, U. S. House of Representatives 2.

  • 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.

To the Members of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs: I submit herewith a committee document entitled "The Disposition of the Public Domain in Oregon."Prior to his death, our former colleague, Senator Richard L. Neuberger, called to my attention a dissertation written as a doctoral thesis by Jerry A. O'Callaghan, legislative assistant to Senator Joseph C. O'Ma.honey.The above- mentioned document incorporates that dissertation as it has been brought up to date by Mr. O'Callaghan. I believe you will find it a most valuable study of the history of Federal lands in the State of Oregon and a most useful frame of reference in your consideration of land problems existing on the public domain in all States.
