SUMNER WELLES (1892-1961) Sumner Welles was born in 1892 and educated at Groton School and Harvard. He graduated in 1914 and began his diplomatic career in 1915 as secretary of the United States Embassy in Tokyo. From 1917 to 1919 he served in a similar post in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was assistant chief of the Latin American affairs division of the Department of State, 1920-21, and chief of the division, 1921-22. He was minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to the Dominican Republic, 1922-25; delegate to the Congress on Latin American Affairs in Washington, D.C. in 1922; personal represen­ tative of the President to offer mediaiton in the Honduras revolution, 1924; delegate to the Central American Conference in Amapala, Honduras, 1924; and a member of the Dawes Financial Mission to the Dominican Republic, 1929. Welles was named Assistant Secretary of State in 1933, a post heheld until 1937, with a brief tenure as ambassador to Cuba; from 1937 to 1943 he served as Under Secretary of State. Welles was President Franklin D. Roosevelt's personal envoy on a fact-finding mission to Europe early in 1940, and accompanied Roosevelt to his meeting at sea with Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill of Great Britain in August 1941. His main area of expertise was Latin American affairs, and this is reflected in the voluminous documentation on that region of the world to be found in his papers. He was the author of Naboth's Vineyard (1928); Four Freedoms (1942); The Time for Decision (1943); Where We Are Heading (1946); We Need Not Fail (1948); and Seven Decisions That Shaped History (1950). NOTES ON USE OF THE SUMNER WELLES COLLECTION. The Sumner Welles Papers arrived at the Roosevelt Library in July 1995 and were processed by the archives staff and opened in the spring of 1996. The collection was donated by Mr. Benjamin Welles. While the collection was still in Mr. Welles' possession, several scholars worked with it and in doing so created several indexes. The scholars included Terry E. Nadeau of the Ford Foundation who did the basic organizing of the collection: removing it from storage containers, placing it in filing cabinets, and creating most of the card file, 1919·1943. The card file was completed by Mrs. Frank W. Graff, whose husband did extensive research in the papers during 1972·74. Mrs. Graff also developed the cross-filing system while assisting in the research of her husband and Mr. Benjamin Welles. The card file consists of entries for documents from the General Correspondence, with references to Country Files and Topical Files. These headings were part of the index created by Mrs. Graff but not retained in the current series arrangement. The General Correspond­ ence file was divided into the Office File, 1920-1943, and the Personal Correspondence Files, 1943-1950. The Country Files were divided into the Europe File and the Latin America File series. The Topical Files, except for Postwar Problems and Major Correspondents which were made separate series, were filed under Office Correspondence, Europe Files, Latin America Files, and Speeches and Writings. Card file entries are by year and thereunder alphabetically by surname of correspondent or organization. Correspondence was filed both under the name of correspondent and the name of the organization or country in which the person worked or was affiliated. The card file also directs researchers to other locations where related correspondence may be found. Beginning in 1941, the card file is less detailed, since documents of lesser importance (visa cases, invitations not accepted, "fan mail," etc.) were not carded or cross referenced. Researchers should note several filing inconsistencies in the Welles Papers. (1) Names beginning wi th de or d', such as D'Alessandro, were filed both under the letter D and the letter A. (2) Again, correspondence with an individual may be filed under the person's name or the institution. (3) Finally, in cases of Spanish double surnames, e.g. Maximino Avila Camacho, letters were filed under both names. Although efforts were made to regularize (1) and (3), researchers should check under both letters to be certain, and also consult the card file. There is also a small subject index, and special card indexes for Cuba, Dominican Republic, and the Major Correspondents. A list of the subject index headings is in Appendix A. There is also a carded chronology of major events in the life of Sumner Welles. Finally, there are copies of correspondence from various deposi tories which Mr. Benj amin Welles accumulated during the course of his research on his father's life. These are filed in chronological order at the end of the collection. PERSONAL BUSINESS, 1909-1950. Boxes 1-22. Arranged by subject in alphabetical order.

  • The Historical Cuba-Us Discordancy from the Theoretical Outlook of The
    European Scientific Journal December 2014 edition vol.10, No.34 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE HISTORICAL CUBA-U.S. DISCORDANCY FROM THE THEORETICAL OUTLOOK OF THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Dr. Onesimo Julian Moreira Seijos University of Quintana Roo Abstract This paper focuses on the main features of the relationship between Cuba and the United States (U.S.) since the nineteenth century to the present. The essay analyses the confrontation between these two countries from the theoretical view of International Relations (IR). The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that the nature of the Cuba-U.S. discrepancies during the Cold War is not confined to the ideological controversy of the East/West relations. Despite the changes that have taken place in world politics during the 1990s and the hopes which opened with the Obama administration, the design of U.S. policy towards Cuba has scarcely changed after the end of the Cold War. On the other hand, the revival of the Wilsonian ideas alleged in the mainstream IR literature does not take into account the special case of the Cuba-U.S relations. Regardless of the current trend to stress international institutions and to sort out conflict within the framework of international agreements, the Cuban problem remains as a national interest matter for the U.S. The historic sequence of the Cuban issue in American politics lend support to the argument that while within the academic discipline of International Relations there is a trend to consider the current period as a proof of the end of realism, the wires which lead the American political behaviour towards Cuba are still under the influence of old-fashioned national interest, the rational choice program and the U.S.

  • 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.

    Ancestry of George W. Bush (b. 1946) Page 1 of 150 Ancestry of George W. Bush compiled by William Addams Reitwiesner The following material on the immediate ancestry of George W. Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research. This page can be found at two places on the World Wide Web, first at http://hometown.aol.com/wreitwiesn/candidates2000/bush.html and again at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~addams/presidential/bush.html.
