FORD AT THE ANNUAL DINNER OF THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS ASSOCIATION SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1974 President Deakin, Former President Knap, Distinguished Guests and Members of the White House Correspondents Association: I thank you for honoring me with your invitation and for this excellent dinner. Lately I have been eating at so many banquets I am beginning to think I have a tapeworm. I say 11 tapeworm11 because they bring me another course every 18 1/2 minutes. Again, I want to express my appreciation for this model of the Liberty Bell of the great Commonwealth of Virginia where I have the honor to live. At least I am living there until I can find a 11 plumber 11 to make me a pass-key to Admiral Zumwalt 1 s House. This bell symbolizes the beginning of our celebration of 200 years of a free press in America. I commend your participation in the Bicentennial. I greatly enjoy these reminders of our country's inspiring beginnings. In fact, I am much more comfortable with the Old Republic than with the New Republic. I am told that the White House Correspondents Association and I are the same age. That's quite a coincidence, being just the same age as your organization, and I hasten to congratulate you on your 39th Anniversary. Although I know this evening is for play rather than work I do have a small news announcement to make. I have listened to the tape. I mean, of course, the tape of what I said Wednesday night in North Carolina, when (Phil Jones?) asked me how I could comment on a 1350 page transcrip:without having read nine-tenths of it. And I answered: "Well, I've had the benefit of the scrutinizing eyes of our news media who always put the worst foot forward.'' Well, I'm still learning my new job. 2 And one thing Ive learned is that you can't hear a smile on tape or read a grin in type. I'm sure those of you who were with me know I was trying to answer a little needle with another little needle and didn 1t mean anything mean. But I 1ve since been scolded by Barbara Walters and others who weren 1t there and I want to set the record straight right now. I do depend heavily on the news media for my information, and I find it usually accurate and workmanlike, considering the pressures of competition and deadlines. Now, if you newsmen can make corrections and retractions so can a Vice President, and I ask you all to remove my 11 worst foot 11 from wherever I put it, and please replace it with 1 11 11 11 ' unintelligible, inaudible" or, if you must, ''expletive deleted. To shift for just a few minutes to a more serious mood, I am trying as our first 11 instant Vice President11 to continue the same open, honest, and I may say, pleasant relationship with the press that I have 3 had throughout 25 years in the Congress. I don 1t believe I am doing things very differently than I always have, except that a lot more of you seem to be a lot more interested in me and in what I do and say. I not only believe in the First Amendment and all the rea.t of the Constitution I am sworn to uphold, but I believe a climate of trust and understanding between the government and the people is essential if our system is to worko All of you have much to do with that climate and so, of course, do those of us who temporarily hold high public office. Personally I do not put as much emphasis on public relations and I do on fundamental human relations and I don't like to categorize 11 the press" or "the media" as if they were somehow a different species from other people. I like to consider every person I know on his or her own merits and to treat them as I would hope to be treated if our jobs were reversed. I have had a lot of adversaries in my political life, but no enemies that I can remembero 4 I am here tonight because I hope and believe that evenings of good humor and fellowship such as these pull the sting of self-righteousness and self-importance out of government officials and maybe out of those who cover them as well. It shows the health and strength of our uniquely American system when we can laugh at our own expense, at each other 1 s expense, and best of all at the editorial auditor 1 s expense. Thank you very much. 5 1914 1974 OF THE /,1)/,,;fe fi'1UU C'1ttesf "nlenf J.' cJ.ss"c;af ;"n * * * WASHINGTON HILTON HOTEL SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1974 WASHINGTON, D.C. - /11)/i;te fi~u>e C~t'u>r~nlenf>' d.>>~ciati~n *** O//iceu TED KNAP, Scripps-Howard Newspapers President JAMES DEAKIN, St. Louis Post Dispatch Vice President EDGAR A.

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.

  • Driven Into Suicide by the Communist Regime of the German Democratic
    Central European History 0 (2019), 1–23. © Central European History Society of the American Historical Association, 2019 doi:10.1017/S0008938919000165 1 2 3 Driven into Suicide by the Communist Regime of the 4 German Democratic Republic? On the Persistence 5 6 of a Distorted Perspective 7 8 Q1 Udo Grashoff 9 10 ABSTRACT. The assumption that the Communist dictatorship in the German Democratic Republic 11 (GDR) drove many people to suicide has persisted for decades, and it is still evident in academic 12 and public discourse. Yet, high suicide rates in eastern Germany, which can be traced back to the 13 nineteenth century, cannot be a result of a particular political system. Be it monarchy, 14 democracy, fascism, or socialism, the frequency of suicide there did not change significantly. In 15 fact, the share of politically motivated suicides in the GDR amounts to only 1–2 per cent of the 16 total. Political, economic, or socio-cultural factors did not have a significant impact on suicide 17 rates. An analysis of two subsets of GDR society that were more likely to be affected by 18 repression—prisoners and army recruits—further corroborates this: there is no evidence of a 19 higher suicide rate in either case. Complimentary to a quantitative approach “from above,” a qualitative analysis “from below” not only underlines the limited importance of repression, but 20 also points to a regional pattern of behavior linked to cultural influences and to the role of 21 religion—specifically, to Protestantism. Several factors nevertheless fostered the persistence of 22 an overly politicized interpretation of suicide in the GDR: the bereaved in the East, the media in 23 the West, and a few victims of suicide themselves blamed the regime and downplayed important 24 individual and pathological aspects.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

But when the decision is up before you - - and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here" Harry Truman, National War College, December 19th, 1952 'Give 'em hell' Harry S.
