November 18, 1983 Dear Bob: The House will today consider my request for increased United States participation in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF plays the critical role in a comprehensive strategy to address current world debt and financing problems. I want to reemphasize the major importance I attach to this legislation. The IMF is the cornerstone of the international economic system, but must have adequate resources to fulfill its responsibilities. Failure to pass this legislation would undermine our efforts to ensure a sound world economy necessary for the continued prosperity of all nations. It is essential that our country now follow through to strengthen this vital institution. Passage of this legislation will ensure that the IMF has the resources to deal with the international debt problem. I believe the legislation warrants strong support in the Congress and I urge its approval prior to adjournment of this session of the 98th Congress. Sincerely, RONM.D ftE'1~ The Honorable Robert H.

FULLER ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR CABINET AFFAIRS SUBJECT: Signing Ceremony for the IMF/Housing Bill To follow up our conversation as you requested, I am sending you the Department's proposed plan for organizing a bill signing ceremony for the IMF/Housing Bill. Secretary Regan believes a signing ceremony is appropriate, not only because so many people worked so hard to pass the legislation, but because so many of our allies doubted the U.S. would actually pass the quota increase. Signing the bill would be another visual example of the President keeping his commitments to our allies and trading partners around the world. If you see that, for whatever reason, a signing ceremony is not likely to take place , please call Secretary Regan directly. In addition to the background, also attached is a list of possible invitees to the ceremony.

ON RPl 'S "FROM THE PEOPLE" Reveals Some Big-Businessmen Will Cross Over From G.O.P. To Vote For Lyndon Johnson WASHINGTON, D.c., August 3 -- Endorsement for Senator Hubert Humphrey (D- Minn.) as "the best" choice for the second slot on the Democratic ticket this November came last night from Senator William Proxmire (D-Wis.). The Wisconsin Senator cited Mr. Humphrey's "superlative understanding of international affairs" on Radio Press International~ "From the People" radio program. Although he also singled out Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy as being "very well qualified'' for the Vice Presidential post, he noted that "my own inclination is to say that Senator Humphrey is the best" choice at this time. "I think /senator Humphrey/ would be an exciting President as well as a fine Vice President," Mr. Proxmire declared. "We've rarely had a Senator who would have such a masterful appreciation and understanding and eloquence in so many different fields/as Mr. Humphrez7," he asserted. --MORE -2- Without mentioning names, Mr. Proxmire revealed that "a number of Senators have told me that in their states ••• tbere are a number of prominent, very responsible and sensitive big-businessmen who are coming over to vote for Lyndon Johnson." He said this "is especially true ••• in the South." "It's very conceivable that a state like Wisconsin which has gone Republican quite steadily and consistently and has not gone Democratic in a Presidential electiou since 1948 will go Republican this year and go for Goldwater,"Senator Proxmire pointed out.

  • Howard E Shuman Proxmire and the Golden Fleece
    Howard E. Shuman Legislative and Administrative Assistant to Senators Paul Douglas and William Proxmire, 1955-1982 Interview #8: Proxmire and the Golden Fleece (October 1, 1987) Interviewed by Donald A. Ritchie Ritchie: We were at the point when you left Senator Douglas' staff. Could you draw some conclusions about his character? Shuman: I'd like to say a few things. First of all, he had the greatest combination of massive intelligence and strength of personal character of anyone I've ever known. You often find a very intelligent person who may be a good person but without great strength of character. And you often find people of great strength of character who are not necessarily people of huge intelligence. His was a unique combination. I remember being with him in Switzerland one time when he was with a group of Swiss reporters. He recalled the history of their cantons back to the thirteenth century. On that same trip we went to Bruge, where he sought out the Michaelangelo statue of the Bruge Madonna. We searched it out in this small church. That was the same period that he spoke in German to the people at the Berlin Wall. He had swatted up at one time or another in his life almost every subject. He knew Italian art. He knew economics and made a massive contribution to economics, especially in the Cobb-Douglas function. He had read in detail the history of the Constitution, knew what the founding fathers had said and thought, page 424 the intricacies of the Constitutional Convention, the history of the United States.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

    United States General Accounting Office GAO HistoryProgram October 1990 Views on GAO’S Service to the Congress Interview With Former Senator William Proxmire bizii2bORALH~TORY SERIES United States General Accounting Office GAO History Program October 1990 Views on GAO'S Service to the Congress Interview With Former Senator William Proxmire Published by the United States General Accounting Office, Washington, D.C., 1990 ii GAO/OP-M-OH Preface The History Program of the General Accounting Office uses oral history interviews to supplement documentary and other original sources of information on GAO’Spast. These interviews help provide additional facts and perspectives on important past events. Transcripts of the interview, as well as the audiotapes and videotapes, become important historical documents themselves and are used in the preparation of written histories of GAO,in staff training, and for other purposes. Although the transcripts are edited versions of the original recording, we try to preserve the flavor of the spoken word. It should be under- stood that the transcripts reflect the recollections, impressions, and opinions of the persons being interviewed. Like all historical sources, they need to be analyzed in terms of their origins and corroborated by other sources of information, The transcripts in themselves should not necessarily be considered definitive in their treatment of the subjects covered. Senator William Proxmire, Democrat of Wisconsin, served in the TJnited States Senate from 1957 until 1989. He frequently called on GAOto con- duct studies and provide information. The Senator gained a reputation for holding the government fully accountable for its expenditures and for probing into the efficiency of government operations.
