January 5, the day he assumed leadership of the House Foreign Affairs Committee from his Republican predecessor, Johnston: The mantra of this election was that it was retired Congressman Henry Hyde (R., Illinois). Not a few about change. But it is important to bear in mind that congressional observers have wondered how the arrival of “change” is not a policy and it certainly does not define Congressman Lantos and other Democratic “sheriffs” who one. have been elevated to important leadership positions in the Among Democrats who will be leading the new 110th Congress will affect the course of U.S. foreign policy, Congress, however, there are some differences that could in general, and particularly with respect to the Asia Pacific. affect U.S. policy toward Asia.

  • THE INNOCENTS SOCIETY the Chancellor's Senior Honorary University of Nebraska Nebraska Union Lincoln, Nebraska
    THE INNOCENTS SOCIETY The Chancellor's Senior Honorary University of Nebraska Nebraska Union Lincoln, Nebraska Dear First-Year Student: The Innocents Society, James S. Pittenger, and Irvin Sherman Memorial Innocents Society Scholarships are awarded each year to currently-enrolled, full-time, first-year students displaying academic excellence, leadership qualities, and involvement in co-curricular activities. The Innocents Society was founded at the University of Nebraska on April 24, 1903, through the efforts of several notable alumni, including George Condra and Roscoe Pound. Thirteen Juniors were chosen for the Chancellor’s Senior Honorary based on academic excellence, campus leadership, and selfless service. These first Innocents took charge of such activities as supervising pep rallies, selecting yell squad members, and organizing Homecoming festivities. Their goal was to promote school spirit and to create an appreciation for the greater things for which Nebraska stands. These ideals still describe the Innocents Society today. Unlike most senior honoraries, the Innocents Society is uniquely Nebraskan, forming a link between the faculty and the student body while guarding significant University of Nebraska traditions. Former members of the Innocents Society include former Senator Bob Kerrey, former United States Secretary of Agriculture Clayton Yeutter, former Governor Norbert Tiemann, previous University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken and Nebraska State Attorney General Jon Bruning. Honorary Innocents include Senator Chuck

  • NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island Is Located on the Eastern End of Nebraska 3, Represented by Retiring Congresswoman Virg
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu NEBRASKA STOPS Grand Island Grand Island is located on the Eastern end of Nebraska 3, represented by retiring Congresswoman Virginia Smith. The Third District covers three-quarters of the State, and runs from the corn belt in the East to the wheat and ranching highlands in the West. There are sixty-two counties and alot of pasture. The most Republican district in Nebraska, the Third gave more than 70% of its vote to Ronald Reagan in 1980, and 67% to Bush in 1988. Exon carried only 25 of the district's counties in 1984. Grand Island is the only city in the Third District with more than 30,000 people. Grand Island's major industries include farm implements and meatpacking. A small group of Southeast Asians in the city work at the Montfort meatpacking facility. The Oregon and Mormon trails run through Scottsvluff, which has the only sizable Hispanic population in western Nebraska, a legacy of the migrant labor used to harvest sugar beets over a period of several decades. There are three heavily Democrat counties north of Grand Island: Sherman, Greeley and Howard. Lincoln The State Capital, Lincoln gives the First District an urban flavor, but does not dominate the District as Omaha does in the Nebraska 2. Lancaster County and its suburbs casts just under 40% of the vote. A white-collar town, Lincoln is dominated by state government and the University of Nebraska with its 23,000 students. There's virtually an even number of Democrats to Republicans and Bush won Lancaster County over Dukakis by only 345 votes.

  • July 30, 2020 Chairman Richard Shelby Committee on Appropriations United States Senate
    July 30, 2020 Chairman Richard Shelby Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Vice Chairman Patrick Leahy Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Chairman Shelby and Vice Chairman Leahy, We, the undersigned, are members of Issue One’s bipartisan ReFormers Caucus — a group of approximately 200 former members of Congress, Cabinet officials, and governors united around our common mission to fix our broken political system. We write you today to request your support in securing our elections by appropriating adequate emergency funding for states and localities as they face mounting, unanticipated costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democratic system of government. Throughout the Civil War, the Spanish Flu, and both World Wars, our country has successfully and peacefully held our elections despite ongoing conflict and hardship. Now, at a time when our nation is facing a dual economic and public health crisis, Congress must act to ensure state and local election officials have what they need to carry out a safe and credible election process that Americans have confidence in. Failure to deliver adequate resources for the November general elections —whether states and localities decide to invest in absentee ballots, more early voting, personal protective equipment, or recruitment of younger poll workers — will risk more chaos and confusion on Election Day, and will, ultimately, sow doubt in this sacred democratic process. As you are aware, state and local election officials from across the country have been vocal ​ about the need for additional funding with few strings attached, including the burdensome 20% state match requirement.

  • 11/09/2000 State Delegations in the 107Th Congress
    UNITED STATES * * * NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 5 Ild'drT November 9, 2000 MEMORANDUM TO: Chairman Meserve Commissioner Dicus Commissioner Diaz Commissioner McGaffigan Commissioner Merrifield FROM: Dennis K. Rathbun, Director Office of Congressional Affaiirs SUBJECT: STATE DELEGATIONS IN THE 107TH CONGRESS Attached for your information is the list of State delegations for the 107r Congress. In the State of Washington, incumbent Senator Slade Gorton (R) is in a race that is still considered too close to call. In the House, there are two races that are considered too close to call. It appears that E. Clay Shaw (R) is ahead in Florida's 2 2nd district, and Rush D. Holt (D) is ahead in New Jersey's 12t' district, but they have not yet been declared the winners. Regarding NRC's oversight committees, in the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, the Chairmanships are likely to remain unchanged. However, if ranking minority member Senator Max Baucus (MT) moves to take over the ranking slot in the Finance Committee, Senator Harry Reid (NV) may become ranking member of the Environment Committee. In the House Committee on Commerce, Chairman Thomas Bliley (VA) is retiring. Representatives W.J. "Billy" Tauzin (LA) and Michael G. Oxley (OH) are rivals for the chairmanship. Rep. John D. Dingell (Mich) will remain as the Committee's ranking member. It is likely that Joe Barton (TX) will remain chairman of the Energy and Power Subcommittee; however, the Committee's ranking members are less certain at this time. Regarding the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the full committee chairmanships and ranking members are expected to stay the same.
