Winning the general election in November, he con­ tinued to occupy a seat in the United States House of Representatives for twenty years. In the House he soon emerged as the most vocal spokesman in Congress for Chiang Kai-shek and the importance of Asia in emerging world 9 £.:_, fairs. American foreign policy, particularly in Asia, served as the overriding interest of Judd's Congressional career. In 1947 Judd obtained a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee and at the time of his defeat in 1962 he was the senior Re­ publican member of the ~ar East and the Pacific Subcommittee. Judd occupied a much more significant role in directing attention to East Asia and its many problems than any other single individual in Congress. Prior to entering politics in 1942, Judd had served as a Congregationalist medical missionary to China for ten years.

  • Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President
    Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Jon R. Bond Texas A&M University [email protected] and Manny Teodoro Texas A&M University [email protected] Prepared for Presentation at the 115th Annual Meeting & Exhibition of the American Political Science Association August 29 – September 1, 2019 Washington, DC Trump Success? Conventional Measures in the Era of an Unconventional President Abstract Conventional indicators reported in CQ’s 2017 Presidential Support Study show that President Trump racked up a “Record Success Rate”, winning 100 percent of House votes on which he expressed a position. Although presidency scholars have long recognized that winning roll call votes is not an indication of presidential influence, Trump’s unconventional style and his willful ignorance of Congress and basic details of the policies he “supports” lead us to question whether the results of roll call votes should even be interpreted as presidential success. Including this unconventional president in the study of a still small n of presidents requires innovative indicators that do not rely exclusively on traditional Presidential Support Scores that compare members on a static zero to 100 scale. Taking cues from FiveThirtyEight and from the field of sabermetrics, this paper presents two novel metrics that estimate whether House members’ support for the 11 elected presidents from Eisenhower to Trump is higher or lower than should be expected relative to differing political conditions. One metric, Support Above Expectations (SAE), estimates whether members’ presidential support is higher or lower than should be expected given electoral conditions, partisanship, polarization. This metric builds on 538’s “Trump plus-minus” score.

  • Out of the Horrors of War Politics and Culture in Modern America
    Out of the Horrors of War POLITICS AND CULTURE IN MODERN AMERICA Series Editors: Margot Canaday, Glenda Gilmore, Michael Kazin, Stephen Pitti, Thomas J. Sugrue Volumes in the series narrate and analyze political and social change in the broadest dimensions from 1865 to the present, including ideas about the ways people have sought and wielded power in the public sphere and the language and institutions of politics at all levels—​­local, national, and transnational. The series is motivated by a desire to reverse the fragmentation of modern U.S. history and to encourage synthetic perspectives on social movements and the state, on gender, race, and labor, and on intellectual history and popular culture.

  • JFD Papers, Telephone Conversations Series.Pdf
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS SERIES The Telephone Conversations Series consists of over 13,000 pages of memoranda of telephone conversations conducted by Secretary Dulles from 1953 through 1959. According to information furnished to the Library by John W. Hanes Jr., Chairman of the Dulles Manuscript Committee, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles’ telephone conversations, excluding those with the President, were routinely monitored by his personal assistants, usually Burnita O’Day and Phyllis Bernau, who took shorthand notes while listening. Later, the personal assistants prepared memoranda based on the shorthand notes. Dulles’ staff used the memoranda to insure that any required action resulting from the telephone conversations were taken. The purpose of these memoranda was primarily operational. Consequently, while Dulles’ personal assistants tried to be accurate and complete in their note-taking, they were not concerned about nuance or detail. The transcribers often were not familiar with the subjects discussed and were not trying to record history. Secretary Dulles seldom read these memoranda because his staff coordinated any necessary actions, making it unnecessary for him to read the documents. After serving their operational purpose, the memoranda were filed and kept only as a convenient reference of the time and date of various calls. Secretary Dulles’ telephone conversations with the President were rarely monitored. Therefore, memoranda of these presidential telephone conversations were originated by the Secretary himself. He usually dictated them, although occasionally his Special Assistants, Roderic O’Connor and John Hanes, would dictate the memoranda from what Dulles had told them. This occurred only when Dulles did not have time to dictate or feared he might forget something if he waited until he had time.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1968 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1968 Principal File contains the main office files of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. The series is divided into three subseries. The first thirty-six boxes comprise a subject file arranged by categories, such as appointments, Eisenhower Center, foreign affairs, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, political affairs, public relations, and trips. The alphabetical subseries occupies the next eleven boxes, and is arranged by the name of the individual or organization corresponding with Eisenhower. The final four boxes contain the “Bulk File” subseries, which has printed materials and oversized items. In 1968 Dwight Eisenhower suffered heart attacks in April and August, and he spent a number of months in the hospital, first at March Air Force Base in California and later at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. His health problems greatly affected his ability to keep up his correspondence and limited the number of appointments he could keep. The series contains a large number of get-well letters and cards. Many requests for endorsements, special messages, autographs, gifts, and letters, as well as invitations to various events, were turned down by his office staff due to Eisenhower’s ill health and the limits placed on his activities by his doctors. Although Ike’s ability to travel and participate in many events was restricted by his growing health concerns, he continued to communicate with many prominent people on vital issues of the day. His correspondence frequently contains comments on U.S. foreign policy, particularly on Vietnam and the Middle East.

    TITLE s OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE .AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION 3 "OUR 61st YEAR" APR IL, 1968 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE APRIL, 1968 Now that our Mid-Winter Conference is behind us, we are begin­ ning to turn our attention to other matters of association business. Many of our committees are actively at work on projects which have been assigned to them. The results of their labors will be made known to us from time to time throughout the year and at our annual con­ vention this Fall. Very shortly with the advent of Spring, the tempo of our state asso­ ciation activities will sharply increase as evidenced by the meeting timetable shown in Title News. I anticipate the privilege of visiting some of these state meetings and others will be attended by various national officers. An annual convention program is already beginning to take shape. There will be several items of unusual interest and a number of out­ standing guest speakers. Program details will be presented later in the year as final arrangements are realized. May I also take this means of conveying to all of you my gratitude and appreciation for the many messages and other expressions of sympathy and condolence. It is a great comfort and a real heart­ warming experience to have so many friends respond so spontane­ ously in time of need. Both of my sons and I are grateful for your thoughtfulness and help.
