The DREAM Act, reintroduced today by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) and 31 co-sponsors, came close to passage in the previous Congress, passing in the House and falling just five votes short of the 60 required to move forward in the Senate.

  • (Ftongresa Qf Lift Mmteii BC 20515
    (ftongresa Qf lift Mmteii BC 20515 December 7,2006 The Honorable Sheila Bair Chairman Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 550 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20429 Dear Chairman Bair: We urge you to extend for at least an additional six months, the moratorium on deposit insurance applications for new industrial loan companies (ILCs) and on changes in control of ILCs by commercial firms, which is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007. This extension is necessary to allow the 110th Congress, which will take office on January 3, 2007, an opportunity to act on this important public policy issue. An extension of the moratorium on applications by commercial firms will allow Congress to provide the FDIC with direction on the extent to which commercial firms should be allowed to enter the banking business through ownership of ELCs. Since it is applications for deposit insurance by commercial firms that raise the issue of the mixing of banking and commerce we urge that the moratorium be extended for those pending and future applications. Applications that involve ownership by financial firms do not raise these issues and we do not object to lifting the moratorium on those applications. As you know, Rep. Gillmor and Rep. Frank have introduced legislation this Congress, H.R. 5746, to address the issues raised by the rapid expansion of the ILC charter. We expect that similar legislation will be introduced early in the next Congress, and that it may be considered early in the session, but clearly there will not be time for the Congress to act before the current FDIC moratorium expires.

  • Congress and Israel”
    Council for the National Interest (CNI) Public Hearing on Capitol Hill May 29, 2008 John Mearsheimer’s Comments “Congress and Israel” I would like to thank the Council for the National Interest for organizing this event and inviting me to speak along with such distinguished and brave speakers as Uri Avnery, Menachem Klein, and Edward Peck. I would also like to thank all of you for coming out to hear us speak. It is widely recognized that the US is in serious trouble in the Middle East. Therefore, one would expect Congress to be holding hearings to determine what has gone wrong in that strategically important region, and what might be done to fix the problems we face. In particular, one would expect Congress to examine American policy toward Israel. After all, the US-Israel relationship, to quote from a recent AIPAC press release, “is the keystone of America’s policy in the Middle East.” But such hearings are not taking place and will not happen in the foreseeable future. We all know the reason why, although few of you will say it publicly. The Israel lobby, which is probably the most powerful interest group in Washington today, and certainly the most influential foreign-policy interest group in American history, will not allow either the House or the Senate to critically examine the “special relationship” between Israel and the US which it has worked long and hard to build. Instead, the lobby demands that legislators support Israel generously and unconditionally, and the lobby usually gets what it wants. Of course, anyone who says that the Israel lobby profoundly influences US Middle East policy is likely to be called an anti-Semite or some other terrible name.

  • 2016 Annual Report JULY 1, 2015 - JUNE 30, 2016 MISSION: Central Scholarship Is Devoted to Helping Individuals Achieve a Better Life Through Higher Education
    Determined to SUCCEED 2016 Annual Report JULY 1, 2015 - JUNE 30, 2016 MISSION: Central Scholarship is devoted to helping individuals achieve a better life through higher education. We believe that education is a right, not a privilege and that scholarships are an investment, not an expense. COVER STORY: FOUR EXTRAORDINARY LIVES Our cover page features the photographs of four extraordinary people whose stories illustrate the mission of Central Scholarship. Lillie Straus, Cyndicy Yarborough, Nikki McNeil and Samuel Witten never met each other, but each one shares in an important slice of our mission. Lillie was the first Vice-Chairperson of Central Scholarship. Her appreciation for education continues today through scholarship awards from the Aaron and Lillie Straus Foundation. Samuel Witten and his late father Benjamin Witten, represent two generations of recipients whose educations were made possible through interest-free loans from Central Scholarship. Nikki and Cyndicy are two more recent student recipients whose lives have been brightened by academic and career training scholarships. Nikki is a community organizer, helping people living in Baltimore City. Cyndicy is a successful career training graduate with aspirations to continue her studies and advance her career. Together, these four unique people reflect our enduring mission to provide educational opportunities to people. Cover photos: Lillie Straus: Jewish Museum of Maryland “ I Got the Job!”: Jane Addams Resource Center Dear Friends, The bill passed! We have exciting news, hot off the press, as we prepare to go to print with this year’s annual report. On April 18, 2017, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed into law a bill that restricts scholarship award displacement at four-year public colleges and universities.
