  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • NMHC PAC Reports
    NMHC PAC Board Report September 2017 NMHC’s political action committee, NMHC PAC, supports the apartment industry’s legislative goals, educates Congress about multifamily housing issues and encourages participation in the political process. • NMHC PAC Receipts and Disbursements: As of August 25, there are 762 employees from 134 NMHC member firms that have contributed $1,007,679 to NMHC PAC. This is 81% of the $1.25m fundraising goal the committee set for this off-election year. To date, 97 NMHC members are part of the maxed out donor program donating $5,000 individually. The NMHC PAC and government affairs staff are executing the 2017/2018 PAC Disbursement Budget. The budget outlines the plan to spend approximately $2.8 million this election cycle. The bulk of the contributions are slated for key Congressional leadership and committees with purview over critical legislative issues including tax and housing finance reform, reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, housing affordability, telecommunication and technology, building codes, HUD rental assistance programs, building codes and energy efficiency. The NMHC staff also focuses on the critical regulatory issues impacting the industry’s day to day operations such as fair housing, resident credit and criminal screening, broadband deployment and completion issues and on issues that specifically impact both the privatized military housing and student housing industries. During this off-election year, to date, NMHC PAC has disbursed $1.075 million to 208 Congressional campaigns, leadership PACs and party committees. Many of these contributions continue to be made to lawmakers at small, targeted fundraising events hosted by real estate industry groups.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • US History Mexican American War Performance Assessment
    US History: Mexican-American War Was the US justified in going to war with Mexico in 1846? Directions: Read the documents, consider both perspectives and develop an argument in response to the question: Was the US justified in going to war with Mexico in 1846? Use evidence from the documents to support your argument. Remember what you have learned about reading and writing with documents. (*justified = right, did they have a good reason for the action taken) Background: Before 1835, Texas was a part of Mexico. In the Texas Revolution, the Texans defeated the Mexicans. Mexico did not accept the 1836 treaty that gave Texas rights to all of the land north of the Rio Grande (even though the Mexican General signed it). Texas was an independent country for 10 years before the US annexed (added) Texas to its territory. People in the US questioned whether adding Texas helped the US by adding more land and resources, or hurt it by expanding slavery and dividing the Northern and Southern states. Texans wanted to join the US, but Mexico did not want to lose Texas. After Texas was added to the US, Mexico and the US disagreed about the location of the border between them. Both thought the disputed area (see map below) was a part of their country. President Polk sent troops to this disputed area in March 1846. Mexicans saw this as an invasion and attacked the US troops. This was the start of the Mexican American War People disagreed about whether the US should have gone to war with Mexico and if the US unfairly started this war.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.
