The Honorable John Marshall Butler United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce Washington 25, D
The Honorable John Marshall Butler United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce Washington 25, D. C. Dear Senator Butler: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 24, 1957 enclosing a copy of a letter received by you from Mr. L. P. Hubbard of Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Hubbard suggests that corporations be required to make available to a central committee of its stockholders a list of all stockholders in order that they may arrange regional meetings to discuss matters of common interest and to send delegates to a national committee with instructions to attend annual meetings and vote their proxies for them. As you know some of the States have laws which require corporations to make a list of stockholders available for inspection by stockholders. Rule X-14A-7 of the Commission’s proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires listed companies which intend to solicit proxies either to furnish stockholders, upon request, a reasonably current list of stockholders or to mail for such stockholders any proxy material which they may wish to transmit to other stockholders. In some cases, corporations will elect to mail the material in lieu of furnishing a list of stockholders and in other cases they will elect to turn over to the stockholders a list of stockholders. In addition to the above requirement, Rule X-14A-8 of the proxy rules requires an issuer to include in its proxy material proposals which are proper matters for stockholder action and which a stockholder wishes to submit to a vote of his fellow stockholders. -

In 1950, Democratic Incumbent of 24 Years Millard Tydings Ran Against
In 1950, Democratic incumbent of 24 years Millard Tydings ran against Republican challenger John Marshall Butler for one of the Maryland’s seats in the Senate.1 Tydings lost the November election and presented complaints to the Senate a month later, accusing the Butler campaign of unfair campaign practices and violations of election laws.2 In particular, he protested a composite photograph in a tabloid entitled “From the Record,” which was created and distributed by the Butler campaign to 300,000 homes in Maryland days before the election.3 The tabloid contained several misleading and false stories intended to attack Tydings’s loyalty and patriotism. The composite depicts Tydings in close conversation with Earl Browder, former leader of the Communist Party of the United States of America. It was later shown to be constructed from two separate photos of the individuals, cut and arranged and re-photographed to appear as if the composite were a photograph of the two in person. The composite is shown in Figure A.1, and its two component photos are shown in Figure A.2. In the tabloid, a caption below the picture reads, Communist leader Earl Browder, shown at left in this composite picture, was a star witness at the Tydings committee hearings, and was cajoled into saying Owen Lattimore and others accused of disloyalty were not Communists. Tydings (right) answered, “Oh, thank you, sir.” Browder testified in the best interests of those accused, naturally.4 1 “The Election Case of Millard Tydings v. John M.

Bill Clinton and The
This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MEMORANDUM Date: May 23, 1994 To: Senator DoleA./ From: Alec Vachon ffV Re: Floor Statement/Clinton, ADA, and Rejection of Judge Arnold as a Supreme Court Nominee * As I wrote you Friday, Clinton rejected Judge Richard Arnold because of a history of cancer -- wanting someone who might last 15-20 years on the Court. Clinton is also reported as having spoken directly with Arnold's doctors. * Whether cancer was Clinton's real reason for rejecting Arnold is debateable -- press reports indicate Arnold had problems on both the left and right. Nonetheless, cancer is Clinton's stated reason (although it would have been better if Clinton had said nothing, and simply commended Breyer). * Although a clear violation of the spirit of both ADA and the Rehab Act, Clinton's action did not break either law. The 1991 Civil Rights Act exempts Presidential appointments requiring Senate confirmation from civil rights laws, including ADA and the Rehab Act. * But there is a double standard -- one for business, state & local government, and most Federal jobs -- and another for "important" Presidential nominations. Although Clinton's reason is understandable, longevity in making employment decisions is not acceptable for businesses. Indeed, the first EEOC ADA lawsuit was against a business on behalf of an individual with less than a year to live. * Attached is a floor statement that reflects both sides of this issue -- and would begin to build a record if changes to ADA are eventuallv needed. Normally, I advise staying away from even implied criticism of ADA -- disability groups are volatile, and are looking for a prominent member of Congress to attack as soft on ADA, if only for fundraising. -

A Brief Biography of Judge Richard S. Arnold John P. Frank and A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr.* Before Richard Arnold was born on March 26, 1936, the good fairies gathered and agreed to bestow upon him three gifts: a silver spoon for his mouth, an uncommon brilliance for his mind, and a profound sense of spirituality for his heart. Thus encumbered, Richard S. Arnold came into the world where he soon added three qualities of his own: an extraordinary dili- gence, a mix of playful humor and modesty, and a sense of per- sonal grace. These blessings gave him a start, and an extraordinarily good one. The crowning blessing, however, came twenty-four years later, when a clerkship for Justice William Brennan of the United States Supreme Court began a close and lasting friend- ship. The clerkship gave him a Weltanschauung, a vision of the law, the world, and life, which has made him one of America's great federal judges for the past fifteen years. -
