HENSON) PAPERS Mss. 4100 1974-1994 LSU Libraries Special Collections BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE William Henson Moore, III, was born in 1939 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and graduated from high school in Baton Rouge. Moore received a B.A. from Louisiana State University in 1961, his J.D. from LSU Law School in 1965, and a master’s degree in 1973. After a stint in the army, 1965-1967, he joined a law firm in Baton Rouge. Moore switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 1968, and he served on the elected Louisiana Republican State Central Committee from 1971-1975. When he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 to represent the Sixth Congressional District, he was the second Republican since Reconstruction elected to the House from Louisiana. He served until 1987. During his tenure, Moore’s committee assignments included the Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Budget and Agriculture committees, and he was appointed by the House minority leader to the Republican Policy Committee. In 1986, he entered the race to succeed Russell B. Long in the U.S. Senate, but was defeated by Democrat John Breaux. The contest was the first true two- party Senate race Louisiana had ever had, and it signified the advent of the current two-party system in the state. Henson outpolled Breaux in the open primary but did not gain the required majority. In the run-off, Breaux won with 52.8% of the vote. After his time in the House, Moore was named commissioner of the Panama Canal Consultative Committee (1987-1989) by President Reagan, and he became deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy from 1989 to 1992. He was also named deputy chief of staff for U.S. President George H.W. Bush during Bush's last year in office, 1992-1993. Moore retired as president and CEO of American Forest and Paper Association in 2006 after 11 years of heading this national trade association for the lumber and paper industry. That same year he was named chair of the Forever LSU Campaign, a four-year effort to raise $750 million to fund the university’s flagship agenda MOORE (W.

  • Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.
