De- clining demand for law school graduates and layoffs at law firms, a drop in law school applications, and what some see as a fundamental shift in the way firms conduct business — these trends concern us all.

    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks on Signing the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 July 22, 2010 Morning, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. Welcome to the White House. I am pleased that you could all join us today as I sign this bill, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act, which, translated into English, means cutting down on waste, fraud, and abuse and ensuring that our Government serves as a responsible steward for the tax dollars of the American people. Now, this is a responsibility we've been working to fulfill from the very beginning of this administration. Back when I first started campaigning for office, I said I wanted to change the way Washington works so that it works for the American people. I meant making Government more open and more transparent and more responsive to the needs of the people. I meant getting rid of the waste and inefficiencies that squander the people's hard-earned money. And I meant finally revamping the systems that undermine our efficiency and threaten our security and fail to serve the interests of the American people. Now, there are outstanding public servants doing essential work throughout our Government. But too often, their best efforts are thwarted by outdated technologies and outmoded ways of doing business. That needs to change. We have to challenge a status quo that accepts billions of dollars in waste as the cost of doing business and enables obsolete or underperforming programs to survive year after year simply because that's the way things have always been done.

  • President Clinton From
    Office of WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON MEMORANDUM TO: PRESIDENT CLINTON FROM: MARC DUNKELMAN and TOM FREEDMAN CC: BRUCE LINDSEY DOUG BAND JUSTIN COOPER LAURA GRAHAM STEPHANIE STREETT JOHN PODESTA VALERIE ALEXANDER GREG MILNE RE: BOOK OF ESSAYS on THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION Date: June 2012 Mr. President, In the spirit of the book of essays we produced for the reunion in Little Rock (“Turning Point”), we propose to commission a book of essays, written by your former staff, advisors, and those you worked with in the Congress, covering the broad spectrum issues you tackled during your presidency. We have not yet spoken to publishers, but have found that alums of your administration are eager to help document your contribution (and theirs). A book of roughly thirty 2,000 word essays would mark an opportunity to frame the various achievements of your eight years in the White House for historians in generations to come. Each essay would describe a challenge you faced in office, your philosophical approach, how your agenda proceeded through your tenure in office, and the results. You could pen the introduction. Handled properly, we would likely be 1 able to get some of the stories embedded in the essays to the press before and during publication. Would you look to proceed with this proposal? ___YES ___NO ___DISCUSS If you are interested in moving forward, here is a preliminary list of subjects and authors. We could begin speaking with publishers, and begin approaching the alumni who would write the articles. Broadly, we have broken the subjects into four categories: Economics, Domestic Policy, Foreign Policy, and Governing Philosophy.

Tip O’Neill: Irish American Representative Man Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, Man of the House as he aptly called himself in his 1987 memoir, stood as the quintessential Irish American representative man for half of the twentieth century. O’Neill, often misunderstood as a parochial, Irish Catholic party pol, was a shrewd, sensitive, and idealistic man who came to stand for a more inclusive and expansive sense of his region, his party, and his church. O’Neill’s impressive presence both embodied the clichés of the Irish American character and transcended its stereotypes by articulating a noble vision of inspired duty, determined responsibility, and joy in living. There was more to Tip O’Neill than met the eye, as several presidents learned.
