Johnson, Special Message to the Congress on Housing and Community Development, January 27th, 1964. Introduction The final years of the Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society administration were anything but quiet. Punctuated by riots and assassinations, events seemed to bring America to the brink of chaos. In the midst of national anxieties over the Viet Nam war, civil rights, riots, and the rising cost of living, LBJ brought his housing and urban policy to a rousing crescendo. In 1968, the year Johnson withdrew from the presidential race and seemingly rendered himself the lamest of lame ducks, this master of passing legislation nonetheless managed to achieve two mammoth housing laws. The first, a part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which Johnson signed in April of that year in the aftermath of the slaying of Dr.

  • The Honorable Hubert H. Humphrey United States Senate Washington, D
    I The University of Chicago Chicago 37, Illinois August 2, 1955 The Honorable Hubert H. Humphrey United States Senate Washington, D. C. Dear Senator Humphrey: You asked me what function I thought the Subcommittee on Dis­ armament of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee might fulfill in the short period of time and with the limited means available between now and the first of January, and you suggested that I put my thoughts on paper. The main issue as far as substance is concerned, it seems to me, can be phrased as follows: 11 What kind and what degree of disarmament is desirable within the framework of what political settlement?" It seems to me that one would only add to the already existing confusion if disarma­ ment were discussed without stating clearly what is being assumed concern­ ing the political settlement within which it would have to operate. I assume that few Senators will be available between the im­ pending adjournment of Congress and the first of January, and thusthe ques­ tion is what could be accomplished by a competent staff. I believe such a staff could hold conferences of the fol_lowing sort: Men like Walter Lippman, George Kennan, and perhaps five to ten others who in the past have written on one aspect of the problem or another, would be asked to prepare their thoughts on the "whole problem" and to tell to a critical audience, assembled by the staff, what they would regard as a desirable settlement. They must imagine that somehow they are endowed with such magical power of persuasion that they could convince the

  • Voting Representation in Congress: an Analysis of Legislative Proposals
    Order Code RL33830 District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Updated January 30, 2007 Eugene Boyd Analyst Government and Finance Division District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Summary This report provides a summary and analysis of legislative proposals that would provide voting representation in Congress to residents of the District of Columbia. Since the issue of voting representation for District residents was first broached in 1801, Congress has considered five legislative options: (1) seek voting rights in Congress by constitutional amendment, (2) retrocede the District to Maryland (retrocession), (3) allow District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate (semi-retrocession), (4) grant the District statehood, and (5) define the District as a state for the purpose of voting for federal office (virtual statehood). During the 109th Congress, several bills were introduced to provide voting representation in Congress for District residents, but none passed. The bills were of the following three types: (1) measures providing a single vote for the District in the House by increasing the number of House seats by two, one for the District and one for Utah, H.R. 2043 and H.R. 5388; (2) a measure allowing District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate, H.R. 190 (semi- retrocession); and (3) measures granting the District full voting rights in Congress (one Representative and two Senators), H.R. 398 and S. 195. (Note: based on 2000 Census data Utah is next in line to gain an additional seat if the total number of congressional seats were increased by one to 436.

  • Blurring Fiction with Reality: American Television and Consumerism in the 1950S
    Blurring fiction with reality: American television and consumerism in the 1950s On the evening of 15 October 1958, veteran correspondent Edward R. Murrow stood at the podium and looked out over the attendees of the annual Radio Television Digital News Association gala. He waited until complete silence descended, and then launched into a speech that he had written and typed himself, to be sure that no one could possibly have had any forewarning about its contents. What followed was a scathing attack on the state of the radio and television industries, all the more meaningful coming from a man who was widely acknowledged as not only the architect of broadcast journalism but also a staunch champion of ethics and integrity in broadcasting.1 This was the correspondent who had stood on the rooftops of London with bombs exploding in the background to bring Americans news of the Blitz, whose voice was familiar to millions of Americans. This was the man who had publicly eviscerated the redbaiting Senator Joseph McCarthy, helping to put an end to a shameful period in America’s history (see e.g. Mirkinson, 2014, Sperber, 1986). And it became apparent that evening that this was also a man bitterly disappointed with the “incompatible combination of show business, advertising and news” that the broadcasting industry had become: Our history will be what we make it. And if there are any historians about fifty or a hundred years from now, and there should be preserved the kinescopes for one week of all three networks, they will there find recorded in black and white, or color, evidence of decadence, escapism and insulation from the realities of the world in which we live.
