  • In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries
    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals.

  • JAMES A. BAKER, III the Case for Pragmatic Idealism Is Based on an Optimis- Tic View of Man, Tempered by Our Knowledge of Human Imperfection
    Extract from Raising the Bar: The Crucial Role of the Lawyer in Society, by Talmage Boston. © State Bar of Texas 2012. Available to order at texasbarbooks.net. TWO MOST IMPORTANT LAWYERS OF THE LAST FIFTY YEARS 67 concluded his Watergate memoirs, The Right and the Power, with these words that summarize his ultimate triumph in “raising the bar”: From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one—absolutely no one—is above the law.29 JAMES A. BAKER, III The case for pragmatic idealism is based on an optimis- tic view of man, tempered by our knowledge of human imperfection. It promises no easy answers or quick fixes. But I am convinced that it offers our surest guide and best hope for navigating our great country safely through this precarious period of opportunity and risk in world affairs.30 In their historic careers, Leon Jaworski and James A. Baker, III, ended up in the same place—the highest level of achievement in their respective fields as lawyers—though they didn’t start from the same place. Leonidas Jaworski entered the world in 1905 as the son of Joseph Jaworski, a German-speaking Polish immigrant, who went through Ellis Island two years before Leon’s birth and made a modest living as an evangelical pastor leading small churches in Central Texas towns. James A. Baker, III, entered the world in 1930 as the son, grand- son, and great-grandson of distinguished lawyers all named James A.

  • Guide 2007.Indd
    www.islamicfi nancenews.com Islamic Finance news Guide 2007 Note from the publisher As we enter 2007 Islamic fi nance will continue to develop and reach out to the world’s issuers and investors regardless of their faith, religion and location. We will continue to see major advancements in innovation and product development and new players will amaze us with bigger and better offerings. New markets will emerge following the likes of China, Japan and Kenya in 2006. However, the focus will again be on the current dominant players and this is where we’re likely to see the major growth. Malaysia, currently boasting the world’s largest Islamic bond market, will continue to set the pace but the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are all expected to reduce the gap if not reverse it. The UAE is a bustling haven for Islamic fi nance with Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah claiming almost every major fi nancial institution with Islamic capabilities between them. Malaysia may have the upper hand on the quantity of Shariah compliant issuances, but the UAE can certainly claim the biggest with the likes of PCFC and Nakheel amounting to a combined US$7.02 billion. These are the deals which raise eyebrows in Europe and the US. Indonesia will witness a major transformation with the proposed new regulations and standards for issuing Islamic paper in the world’s most populous Muslim country. Up to US$10 billion needs to be raised over the next ten years for necessary infrastructure projects. The Islamic Development Bank has already announced US$1.5 billion of investment this year.

    White House Interview Program DATE: November 3, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: PETE ROUSSEL INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar with Terry Sullivan [Disc 1 of 2] PR: —even though I was with [George] Bush for six years, in four different jobs. I was two years in the [Gerald] Ford White House, and 1981 to 1987 in the [Ronald] Reagan White House. I might add though, for your benefit, in neither case did I come in at the start. I came in under unusual circumstances in both cases. Maybe that’s something to look at, too, for people, because that’s always going to happen. TS: The notion of start is what we’re focused on, how the administration starts, but start has several definitions. Obviously, for a person who comes into the office it’s their start, whether it’s at the very beginning of the administration or later on in the administration. PR: Sure. TS: So those sorts of experiences are worthwhile as far as we’re concerned, as well. Some of the things we’re mostly interested in are: how the office works?, and things like⎯how do you know when it’s time to leave? What your daily life is like? And things like that. PR: That one I’m more than happy to address, having had the benefit of doing it twice. The second time, I was much more prepared to answer that question than the first time, which most people don’t get a second— TS: ⎯chance at. PR: Yes. Didn’t y’all interview my colleague, Larry Speakes? MK: Speakes and [Ron] Nessen as well.

  • Donald-Rumsfeld.Pdf
    Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Donald Rumsfeld Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith March 31, 2009 Smith: First of all, thanks so much for doing this. You have a unique position in the Ford story because you’re one of a dwindling band who can talk with authority about Ford’s years in Congress, and indeed, were instrumental in his becoming Minority Leader. You came in in ’62... Rumsfeld: Right. I worked in the House of Representatives from 1957 to 1960. One of the Congressmen I worked for was Bob Griffin of Michigan. So there was an earlier connection. Smith: So you had contact with Ford earlier. Rumsfeld: Slightly. Gerald Ford was way up there and I was staff assistant to a couple of Republican Congressmen. I did, however, have an interesting connection though to Congressman Ford; one of the pilots with me in the Navy, Jim Dean, who was shot down by the Chinese, was from Grand Rapids. His wife went to Representative Ford when I was working on the Hill and came to see me. So I had an awareness of Gerald Ford back then. Some years later, 1974, Henry Kissinger and I were going into the Peoples’ Republic of China after we left Vladivostok, where President Ford had met with General Secretary Brezhnev. I was going through some papers and there was my friend Jim Dean’s name. Kissinger had been asked by the government to raise the question as to whether Dean’s body was found or whether he was in prison and if so, if they would release him.
