The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:00 a.m., in room 2318, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. F. James Sensen- brenner (Chairman of the Committee) presiding. Chairman SENSENBRENNER[presiding].The Committee on Science will come to order. Today, I want to welcome everyone here today for the first in a series of hearings the Science Committee will be holding on science, math, engineering, and technology education. As you may know, last year I charged Congressman Ehlers with developing an approach to a new national science policy. As a re- sult of over a year's work, the Committee released the study, "Unlocking Our Future: Toward a New National Science Policy," a major focus of which is math and science education. As the report notes, math and science education is the road that will ensure American preeminence in technology and prepare American stu- dents to be able employees, smart consumers, and engaged citizens. I am pleased that the Committee is following up on this aspectof the Science Policy Study, as education is one of the most important issues we must address. By now it is old news that U.S. students are not performing to the level of their peers around the world. In fact, U.S. students per- form near the bottom. Clearly, American children are not receiving an adequate education in math andscience, and we as a Nation should be concerned. We can and must do a better job of preparing our young people for the 21st centuryand we have an obligation to see that students receive the education they will need if they are to compete and win in the global marketplace of the future. This series of hearings will serve as a comprehensive examina- tion of current science and math education, the directions science and math education may take in the future, and programmatic re- forms that may be necessary to ensure graduates of U.S. schools are well prepared. The examinationwill require assessing the cur- rent situation and understanding the specific weaknesses in our education systems. The most technologically advanced

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act
    The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act ERIC C. RUSNAK* The public lands of the United States have always provided the arena in which we Americans have struggled to fulfill our dreams. Even today dreams of wealth, adventure, and escape are still being acted out on these far flung lands. These lands and the dreams-fulfilled and unfulfilled-which they foster are a part of our national destiny. They belong to all Americans. 1 I. INTRODUCTION For some Americans, public lands are majestic territories for exploration, recreation, preservation, or study. Others depend on public lands as a source of income and livelihood. And while a number of Americans lack awareness regarding the opportunities to explore their public lands, all Americans attain benefits from these common properties. Public land affect all Americans. Because of the importance of these lands, heated debates inevitably arise regarding their use or nonuse. The United States Constitution grants to Congress the "[p]ower to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the... Property belonging to the United States." 2 Accordingly, Congress, the body representing the populace, determines the various uses of our public lands. While the Constitution purportedly bestows upon Congress sole discretion to manage public lands, the congressionally-enacted Antiquities Act conveys some of this power to the president, effectively giving rise to a concurrent power with Congress to govern public lands. On September 18, 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Proclamation 69203 under the expansive powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act4 ("the Act") establishing, in the State of Utah, the Grand * B.A., Wittenberg University, 2000; J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, 2003 (expected).

  • 1. Immigration Reform Is Broadly Popular in Available District-Specific Polling of Republican-Held Congressional Seats
    To: Interested Parties From: America’s Voice Re: Two Keys to Understanding Public Opinion on Immigration Reform and Republicans Date: Jan 29, 2014 The upcoming House Republican retreat will play a pivotal role in determining how the House tackles immigration reform. Based on a detailed array of district-level polls, it’s clear that the American people are firmly in favor of a path to citizenship for aspiring Americans. While opponents attempt to portray this component of immigration reform as contentious, it’s actually the consensus position among all voters, including Republican primary voters. The following pages offer substantiation for two key points: 1. Immigration reform is broadly popular in available district-specific polling of Republican-held congressional seats. Available district-specific immigration polling, conducted in the past year by both Democratic and Republican-affiliated pollsters in 25 different Republican-held districts, shows consistent and broad public support for immigration reform. Notably, both likely voters and self-identified Republican likely voters support a path to earned legalization and citizenship as part of a broader immigration fix in district after district. In every district polled, citizenship topped other policy alternatives. In addition to the district-specific polling results, several polls of aggregated congressional district polling assess immigration sentiment in a broader number of competitive House districts. Among Latino voters and all likely voters in these aggregated congressional battleground polls, support is overwhelming on behalf of an immigration reform package that includes a path to citizenship. 2. The fear that Republican primary voters don’t support immigration reform is overstated – in fact, Republican primary voters are more pragmatic and pro-reform than conventional political wisdom assumes.
