  • Jim Leach to Lead University of Iowa Museum of Art
    Jim Leach to lead University of Iowa Museum of Art November 7, 2016 Contact: Jeneane Beck, UI Office of Strategic Communication, 319-384-0054 The University of Iowa has announced that Jim Leach, former Iowa congressman and chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), will serve as the interim director of the University of Iowa Museum of Art (UIMA). Leach will take on the role Jan. 1, 2017, when current director Sean O’Harrow departs to assume a leadership position at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Leach will serve until a permanent director is hired. Leach, who holds 14 honorary degrees, is UI chair in public affairs and joint visiting professor in the College of Law and the Department of Political Science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. While serving as the interim director of the UIMA, he will retain his visiting faculty position in both colleges. “Jim is a passionate champion of arts and humanities education and of the UI Museum of Art,” says P. Barry Butler, UI executive vice president and provost. “I am grateful for his willingness to serve the university in this capacity during an important time of transition for the UIMA.” Leach served 30 years as a representative in Congress, where he chaired the Banking and Financial Services Committee, the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. In the 1990s, Leach held four years of hearings on Nazi theft of money and art during the Holocaust and served as chairman of the plenary session on Nazi-confiscated art at the 44- nation Washington Conference on Nazi art displacement held at the State Department in 1998.

  • Michael Oxley Interview
    Securities and Exchange Commission Historical Society Oral History Project Interview with Michael Oxley Conducted on March 9, 2012 by James Stocker JS: This is an interview with former Congressman Mike Oxley for the SEC Historical Society’s virtual museum and archive of the history of financial regulation. I am James Stocker. Today is March 9th, 2012. We’re talking at the Congressman’s office at Baker Hostetler in Washington, D.C. Congressman, it’s great to talk to you today. MO: Thank you, James. JS: To start off, tell me a little bit about the years before you came to Congress. Did you have much experience dealing with finance or securities? MO: No, I didn’t. I graduated from law school at Ohio State in ’69, and then I was recruited by the FBI and I went in the Bureau. Though I did have some experience – I was on the bank robbery squad, so I investigated unauthorized withdrawals from banking institutions. That was quite interesting. Then when I retired from the Bureau, I went back to my hometown of Findlay, Ohio, and joined my dad’s law practice. But I never had that much experience in the overall financial world until I came to Congress. Interview with Rep. Michael Oxley, March 9, 2012 ________ 2 JS: At the FBI, did any of your training deal with finance or securities, or did you ever talk about insider trading or anything like that? MO: Not really. Back in those days, it was pretty much stolen cars, bank robberies, bread-and- butter kind of things – kidnapping – you know, federal laws.

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

  • Iowa -- Political Scenario
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu IOWA -- POLITICAL SCENARIO U.S. Senate Race POLLING: A poll commissioned by three Iowa television stations (KCCI-Des Moines, KGAN-Cedar Rapids, and KTIV-Sioux City) and conducted by Political-Media Research, Inc., shows Harkin leading Tauke by a mere 9-point margin (46% to 37%). Seventeen percent of Iowans surveyed were uncommitted. Tauke's people contend that Harkin's dropping below 50% shows his vulnerability, while a Harkin spokesman maintained the sitting Senator's 17-point lead among Independents. SURROGATES: Tauke's campaign received an early boost from Clayton Yeutter in 1989. Also throughout the year, President Bush, Vice President Quayle, Secretary Sullivan, and Secretary Dole appeared. The Tauke campaign also has future commitments from Secretary Cavasos (June), Secretary Mosbacher (July), Secretary Brady (August), and Secretary Kemp. Iowa Native Son Cooper Evans will also appear. CAMPAIGN THEMES: Tauke is stressing his abilities as a coalition-builder in Congress -- as opposed to Harkin, who you'll recall gave a very strong statement in 1985 regarding your stand on portions of the Farm Bill. The character issue has worked well for Tauke -- and they're painting Harkin as accountable to influence peddlers. (90 % of his fundraising money is from out-of-state donors). \ ISSUES TO STRESS: Tom Tauke is a friend to agriculture. The Harkin record is bad news for farmers, since he's beholden to special interests on both the East and West Coasts. (See specifics in Tauke campaign brief). Also, Tauke has asked that you stress that if Harkin is defeated, Iowa won't lose a seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee -- since Harkin is fighting for agriculture interests outside of Iowa.

    State Library of Iowa 1 Footnotes Volume 31, No. 3-4-5 March, April, May 2006 Inside this issue Public libraries provide outreach to child care centers - Pg. 3 Need help fi nding government Do Iowa public libraries want their information? - Pg. 6 Iowa Letters About Literature own Web sites? winners - Pg. 7 The answer is… a resounding yes! At print time, 288 public libraries had sent letters-of-intent to the State Library stating their interest in Web site and e-mail hosting sponsored by the State Library through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since the original target for this project was 100 libraries, the State Library is delighted with the response. Through the PLOW project – Putting Libraries on the Web, libraries will have Web sites preloaded with a variety of local information specifi c to each library, including links to local catalogs, location, hours, contacts, and trustees. Library customers will also have access to state-wide resources, such as EBSCOHost and FirstSearch databases, through their local library’s Web site. As library staff members are trained and become comfortable with their library’s Web site, they will be able to add their own content. Through the e-mail hosting service, regardless of the Internet service provider, each public library will be able to have consis- tent and stable e-mail addresses making it easier to communicate with customers. In other words, when a library changes ISPs, the library’s e-mail address will remain the same. Participating libraries will also receive technical support provided by a full-time computer / technical support person available to public libraries by phone and e-mail.
