Galloping Reaganism New Nationalisms Nixon on Jobs Tax The RIPON MAY 1968 VOL. IV, No. 5 ONE DOLLAR Galloping Reaganism Fifteen months ago, under the title Creeping Reaganism, we reported the beginnings of Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign. Now the California governor, having carefully paced his public appearances, is racing to head Richard Nixon off at the pass. With a blitz of T.V., a rush of speaking en­ gagements and the stirring cry of "Hi-ho Salvatori," Reagan rides into Oregon. His goal: to demonstrate enough public support to assure the brokered con­ vention in Miami for which he has been quietly preparing this past year. See the report by Melvin H. Bernstein. PAGE 5 New Nationalisms In the Third World, political leaders of a new generation are arising whose primary concern is neither with "nation-building" nor with the ideo­ logical struggle between Communism and Western Democracy. They seek instead self-determination through the creation of new ethnic and regional communities. Robert Dickson Crane of the Hudson Institution examines the implications of this "second generation nationalism" for American and Soviet foreign policy. He shows how ignoring this force has caused us trouble in Vietnam, and he draws an interesting parallel with the communal aspirations behind the black power movement in American cities. PAGE 11 Nixon on Jobs In a special Guest Editorial Richard M. Nixon outlines his plan for creating a National Job Bank to help break the poverty cycle. He suggests the application of computer technology to match unemployed workers to suit­ able job vacancies. PAGE 24 Tax the Polluters Duncan Foley proposes a delightfully simple approach to the problem of air and water pollution. It doesn't involve intricate government subsidies or tax credits; it doesn't require a complex bureaucracy; it doesn't demand mas­ sive federal spending programs.

Ed Harper Thank you, glad to be here. Timothy Naftali Let's just start at the beginning. How did you come to join the Nixon administration? Ed Harper Well, I was working for Arthur Doolittle[phonetic sp], a consulting firm here in Washington, doing public policy analysis in different areas, and an old friend of mine from high school days, Bud Krogh, asked me if I'd come over and have lunch with him and John Ehrlichman, and I did. And John said, "Well, when can you join us on the domestic policy staff?" And I said, "How about Friday?" So that's how I came to be on the staff. Timothy Naftali At -- Male Speaker One second. Timothy Naftali Put to what it was before, so -- this matters, please. Ed Harper Sure. Timothy Naftali Tell us some stories. Ed Harper Well, why I was there goes back a little before that meeting.

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.
