MSS 009 Hector Garcia Collection Hector Garcia was executive director of the Catholic Council on Community Relations, Diocese of Galveston-Houston, and an officer of Harris County PASO. The Harris County chapter of the Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations (PASO) was formed in October 1961. Its purpose was to advocate on behalf of Mexican Americans. Its political activities included letter-writing campaigns, poll tax drives, bumper sticker brigades, telephone banks, and community get-out-the- vote rallies. PASO endorsed candidates supportive of Mexican American concerns. It took up issues of concern to Mexican Americans. It also advocated on behalf of Mexican Americans seeking jobs, and for Mexican American owned businesses. PASO produced such Mexican American political leaders as Leonel Castillo and Ben. T. Reyes. Hector Garcia was a member of PASO and its executive secretary of the Office of Community Relations. In the late 1970's, he was Executive Director of the Catholic Council on Community Relations for the Diocese of Galveston-Houston.

Hayden Confirmation update As reported in District Dispatch, Dr. Carla Hayden’s nomination to serve as the next Librarian of Congress was voted upon and endorsed by the Senate Rules Committee on June 9. It is now on the Senate Calendar and could be acted upon by the full Senate at any time at the discretion of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. No opposition to Dr. Hayden’s nomination is known or anticipated, so it remains quite probable that the Senate will either favorably vote upon Dr. Hayden’s confirmation, or approve her by voice vote pursuant to a request for “unanimous consent,” prior to the July 15 recess.

    New York Times: Free Speech Lawyering in the Age of Google and Twitter

    THE “NEW” NEW YORK TIMES: FREE SPEECH LAWYERING IN THE AGE OF GOOGLE AND TWITTER Marvin Ammori INTRODUCTION When Ben Lee was at Columbia Law School in the 1990s, he spent three months as a summer associate at the law firm then known as Lord, Day & Lord, which had represented the New York Times1 in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan.2 During those months, Lee listened to the firm’s elder partners recount gripping tales of the Sullivan era and depict their role in the epic speech battles that shaped the future of free expression. Hearing these stories, a young Lee dreamed that one day he too would participate in the country’s leading speech battles and have a hand in writing the next chapter in freedom of expression. When I met with Lee in August 2013, forty-nine years after Sulli- van, he was working on freedom of expression as the top lawyer at Twitter. Twitter and other Internet platforms have been heralded for creating the “new media,”3 what Professor Yochai Benkler calls the “networked public sphere,”4 for enabling billions around the world to publish and read instantly, prompting a world where anyone — you and I included — can be the media simply by breaking, recounting, or spreading news and commentary.5 Today, freedom of the press means ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Fellow, New America Foundation; Partner, the Ammori Group.
