  • U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.

    NINETY EDITORIAL ALT. Ninety-Bines, attention! We ask y o u r aid NINE for your Sister Flyers! The recent termination of recruiting and train­ ing of additional Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a matter of sincere regret to all women pilots. This project opened opportunities for women in aviation which have never before been available and offered women pilots a chance to prove that their performance on military aircraft equalled that of TV male pilots. Unfortunately many girls who had been accepted for the June 30th class did not know of its cancella­ tion until they reached Sweetwater, since telegrams notifying them of the order arrived, in many cases, too late. All Ninety-Nines should be cognizant of the facts leading to this cancellation. The Costello NEWS Bill, H. R. 4219, to give military status to the WASP was reported favorably ty the House Military LETTER Affairs Committee. Subsequent to that report but prior to debate on the floor of the House, the July 15, 1944 Ramspeck Civil Service Committee issued a report on an investigation of the 7JASP program which it LEWS LETTER EDITOR had conducted, recommending immediate discontinu­ ance of training, except for those already enrolled. Bettie Thompson, 724 N. 63rd St., Shortly thereafter, H. R. 4219 was killed by vote Philadelphia 31, Penna. of the House.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 21, 2020 WASHINGTON — the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Will Begin COVID-19 Vaccinations This
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 21, 2020 WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will begin COVID-19 vaccinations this week at 128 additional sites using the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. On December 18, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which is the second COVID-19 vaccine to be authorized. “Having a second COVID-19 vaccine will enable us to reach more facilities and vaccinate more health care personnel and Veterans in additional parts of the country,” said VA Secretary Robert L. Wilkie. “We continue to implement our COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Plan and are grateful to be one step closer to seeing the end of this pandemic.” Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, VA will continue to vaccinate health care personnel, as well as community living center and spinal cord unit residents. As vaccine supplies increase, VA’s ultimate goal is to offer COVID-19 vaccinations to all Veterans and employees who want to be vaccinated. 113 VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) and outpatient clinics will receive limited Moderna COVID-19 vaccine supplies this week. They include: Alabama Central Alabama (Montgomery) VA Health Care System Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center Alaska Alaska (Anchorage) VA Health Care System Arizona Northern Arizona (Prescott) VA Health Care System Southern Arizona (Tucson) VA Health Care System Arkansas Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks (Fayetteville) Central Arkansas (North Little Rock) Veterans Health Care System California Central California (Fresno) VA Health Care System Northern California (Mather) VA Health Care System San Francisco VA Medical Center Long Beach VA Health Care System Loma Linda VA Health Care System San Diego VA Health Care System Colorado Grand Junction VA Medical Center Delaware Wilmington VA Medical Center Florida Lee County VA Health Care Center Jacksonville VA Outpatient Clinic Sergeant Ernest I.
