    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.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM 3778 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON ACTION June 21, 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: HENRY OWEN '6 SUBJECT: Summit Congressional Briefing Last week you discussed US positions at the Tokyo Summit that might involve agreement by the Summit countries on such actions as: a commitment to fixed oil import levels for 1979 and 1980; asking oil companies not to buy or sell at speculative prices in the spot market; commencing international allocation of scarce oil supplies on a voluntary basis; -- a commitment to international financing of commercial scale projects demonstrating new energy technologies, and creating a group to study how this can best be done. None of these actions would require legislation, at least initially, but all would require Congressional support. Stu and I believe that this support is more likely to be forthcoming, when you report on Summit results upon your return, if you have discussed these initiatives with Congressional leaders beforehand. We would propose, if you agree, to invite the following members to a meeting tomorrow: Sen. Howard Baker Sen. Henry Jackson Sen. Lloyd Bentsen Sen. Jacob Javits Sen. Dale Bumpers Sen. J.

    Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series

    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

    Prohibition, Protests, and Politics the EDMONDSON ADMINISTRATION

    Chapter 23 Prohibition, Protests, and Politics THE EDMONDSON ADMINISTRATION. Tulsa attorney J. Howard Ed- mondson was inaugurated as governor in January, 1959. At 33, he was the state’s youngest governor in history. Edmondson’s “prairie fire” and “Big Red E” campaigns (both named for his red hair) brought him from behind to defeat Midwest City builder W.P. “Bill” Atkinson in the Democratic primary. He then de- feated Phil Ferguson in the general election by the largest majority ever given a gubernatorial candi- date in the state. Also in 1959, the youthful governor was named an honorary member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He was honored as one of the nation’s “Ten Most Outstanding Young Men.” Born in Muskogee in September, 1925, Ed- mondson obtained a law degree from the Uni- versity of Oklahoma.
