Mosley, Director of the Federal Register. John W. Carlin, Archivist of the United States. On the cover: World War-I era American postcard with bald eagle and American flag, postmarked 1917. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is the only eagle unique to North America. Admired for its majestic appearance and self-reliance, it became the national symbol in 1782 when the Second Continental Congress approved the design of the Nation’s official seal. The Great Seal of the United States includes a shield that, according to Secretary Charles Thomson’s journal of the Congress for June 20, 1782, is ‘‘borne on the breast of an American Eagle without any supporters, to denote that the United States of America ought to rely on their own virtue.’’ Although the bald eagle has endured as an American icon, by the 1960s only an estimated 450 nesting pairs remained in the conterminous (lower 48) States. Farmers and ranchers aggressively hunted the bird to protect their livestock. In 1940 Congress passed the Bald Eagle Protection Act which made it illegal to kill, harass, possess without a permit, or sell bald eagles. Still, the population continued to decline, largely due to the introduction of DDT and other pesticides, which contaminated the lakes and streams where the eagle fished.

  • The Catalyst That Opened Courthouse Doors for Women on the Federal Bench
    THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT: THE CATALYST THAT OPENED COURTHOUSE DOORS FOR WOMEN ON THE FEDERAL BENCH JUDGE ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS (RET.)† I was incredibly honored and blessed to serve as a federal judge for nearly thirty-three years, first on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and next on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment is especially meaningful to me because it not only opened the voting booth to women, it opened the courthouse doors for women to become federal judges. No woman had served as a federal judge prior to the Nineteenth Amendment. Indeed, few women judges sat on any court before it was ratified. No woman had been elected judge before the Nineteenth Amendment passed, and there were certainly no Article III lifetime, presidentially appointed women federal judges. The Nineteenth Amendment changed that. As Judge Florence E. Allen later reflected, “With the winning of the vote women gained the right . to assume their part in public and professional life.”1 Allen embraced that right in full. In 1906, thirteen years before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Allen was the music critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a teacher at a school for girls.2 Never one to be idle, she also took graduate courses and obtained a Master of Arts degree in Political Science.3 A professor asked her, “Why don’t you study law?”, which she said “came like Copyright © 2020 Judge Ann Claire Williams.
