  • Report for Congress Received Through the CRS Web
    Order Code RL31497 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Creation of Executive Departments: Highlights from the Legislative History of Modern Precedents Updated July 30, 2002 Thomas P. Carr Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Creation of Executive Departments: Highlights from the Legislative History of Modern Precedents Summary Congress is now considering proposals to create a Department of Homeland Security. Since World War II, Congress has created or implemented major reorganizations of seven of the now existing 14 Cabinet departments. This report describes the principal elements of legislative process that established the Departments of Defense; Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) (now, in part, Health and Human Services); Housing and Urban Development; Transportation; Energy; Education; and Veterans Affairs. Congressional consideration of legislation establishing Cabinet departments has generally exhibited certain common procedural elements. In each case, successful congressional action was preceded by a presidential endorsement, the submission of draft legislation, or, in one instance, a reorganization plan by the President. In the Congress in which they were approved, these proposals were considered by the House Committee on Government Operations and the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs (or their predecessors). The bill creating the Department of Defense (considered by the Senate Armed Services Committee), and the bill creating the Department of Energy (considered in part by the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee), were the two exceptions to this procedure. With the exception of the Defense and Veterans Affairs Departments, all the departmental creation proposals were considered in the House under provisions of an open rule.

  • Danbury Prison Fire: What Happened? What Has Been Done to Prevent Recurrence
    REPORT BY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES ' The Danbury Prison Fire- What Happened? What Has Been Done To Prevent Recurrence? GAO reconstructs the events of the morning of July 7, 1977, when a fire at the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connect- icut took the lives of five inmates and in- jured many others. The report discusses the fire's origin, the activities of correctional staff and inmates, the factors contributing to the tragedy, and the actions taken by the Bureau of Prisons to investigate the fire and make improvements GGD-78-82 HE~QC~~~~CKOZJF~~~~~ ~AUGUST 4, 1978 COMPTROLLER GENERAL'S REPORT THE DANBURY PRISON FIRE-- TO TOE HONORABLE ABRAHAM WHAT HAPPENED? RIBICOFF AND THE HONCRABLE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO LOWELL WEICKER, JR. PREVENT RECURREPNCE? UNITED STATES SENATE DIGEST GAO was asked by Senators Ribicoff and Weicker to investigate the objectivity, accuracy, and completeness of the Bureau of Prisons investigation and report on the July 7, 1977, fire at the Federal Correc- tional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. The fire killed five inmates and injured many others. The Bureau of Prisons had convened a Board of Inquiry composed of Bureau personnel, none of whom were experts in fire safety investigations. This raised questions re- garding the Bureau's objectivity and ability to effectively investigate the Danbury fire. Subsequently, the Connecticut chapter of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People reported that institu- tional staff members did not adhere to estab- lished policies and procedures during the fire. (See chs. 1 and 5.) GAO found no evidence that the Board of Inquiry was not objective in its investi- gation of the fire.

LXXVIII NO. 38 STORRS, CONNECTICUT WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1974 5 CENTS OFF CAMPUS Ferguson to ask BROADCASTERS state to assume greater load RVICI By STEVE HULL News Editor President Ferguson said Tuesday he will be asking the state to pay for a greater share of the University's expenses to lessen UConn *s reliance on student fees. Ferguson said that for the last 30 years UConn has used student fees to finance services which should have been paid for by the state. Speaking with a group of Daily Campus editors he cited as an example the connecting road between North Eagleville Road and Putnam Refectory that was paid for with student fees. Ferguson said he is testing the legality of switching financial responsibilities to the state general fund with the proposed" S7-million sports complex. He said he is asking the state t& contribute $5-million to the complex which normally would be paid for by U.S. Rep. Ella T.

The two candidates addressed the Connecticut Broadcasters Association Tuesday at the Hotel Sonesta in Hartford. The complex is part of the proposed (Photo by Don Mosley) 1975-76 UConn budget. The Governor and General Assembly will vote on the proposed budget sometime next year. "The students here pay for a greater percentage of the University's costs than Democrats gain big student vote at most other state schools," Ferguson said.

  • COVER STORY || INSIDE the SENATE the LOST SENATE If Senators Can't Get Along, How Can They Govern?
    COVER STORY || INSIDE THE SENATE THE LOST SENATE If senators can't get along, how can they govern? hirty years ago this fall, Ted Kennedy was running for president, Robert Byrd ruled the Senate floor as majority leader and a boyish Max Baucus had already jumped ahead of his freshman class by securing a seat on the powerful Finance Committee. At West Point, Army Capt. Jack Reed resigned his commission to enter THarvard Law School. In Brooklyn, state Assemblyman Chuck Schumer, Flatbush’s version of a young Lyndon Johnson, prepared to run for the House. And in Louisville, Ky., Jefferson County Judge Mitch McConnell waited — consolidating power, speaking around the state, but always with an eye toward the Senate, where he had interned for his hero, Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.), during the great civil rights debate of 1964. “That was when I first decided to try,” McConnell says. Change is a great constant in Congress: One generation is forever giving way to the next. But to look back 30 years at the Senate — when this reporter first came to Washington — is to see the last remnant of something now lost from American government. O C I T OLI By David Rogers John shinkle — P 54 POLITICO POLITICO 53 In 1979, a solid quarter of the senators had lived through the civil rights debate that elected senator — after years in the much larger House. so inspired McConnell. And in them, elements of the old Senate “club” still endured. Only a single row of lights was turned on in the ceiling — the Senate was not in Television had yet to intrude, preserving a greater intimacy and drawing senators session — and the Texan stood at the door, taking in the polished wooden desks to the floor to hear one another’s speeches.
