A complete administrativerecord of thisconsultation is on file at the New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office in Albuquerque. Consultation History Reclamation and the Corps, submitted a comprehensive assessment in October 1999 and supplements in April and July 2000. The Service confirmed initiation of formal consultation by letter on July 6, 2000. In a July 20, 2000, faxogram Reclamation requested that the Service not issue opinions on either the comprehensive or supplemental assessments. The Corps requested reinitiation of formal consultation on their water operations, separate from Reclamation’s actions on November 16, 2000. However, the Corps did not provide a new assessment at that time. The Service responded on December 19, 2000, asking the Corps to submit an assessment of their actions alone. Reclamation submitted a new biological assessment of discretionary actions related to water management on January 6, 2001. The Service issued a draft jeopardy/adverse modification biological opinion to Reclamation on February 9, 2001 (#2-22-01-F-137). On March 5, 2001, the State of New Mexico (State) submitted a settlement proposal for the Minnow v. McDonald litigation. On April 13, 2001, the Corps submitted a biological assessment regarding the effects of their water operations rules (#2-22-01-I-085). Since that time, Reclamation, the Corps, the State, and the Service have been negotiating a settlement agreement that would provide a conservation pool of credit water for the next three years.

  • H.Doc. 108-224 Black Americans in Congress 1870-2007
    Keeping the Faith: AFRICAN AMERICANS RETURN TO CONGRESS, 1929–1970 With his election to the U.S. House of Representatives from a Chicago district in 1928, Oscar De Priest of Illinois became the first African American to serve in Congress since George White of North Carolina left office in 1901 and the first elected from a northern state. But while De Priest’s victory symbolized renewed hope for African Americans struggling to regain a foothold in national politics, it was only the beginning of an arduous journey. The election of just a dozen more African Americans to Congress over the next 30 years was stark evidence of modern America’s pervasive segregation practices. The new generation of black lawmakers embarked on a long, methodical institutional apprenticeship on Capitol Hill. Until the mid- 1940s, only one black Representative served at any given time; no more than two served simultaneously until 1955. Arriving in Washington, black Members confronted a segregated institution in a segregated capital city. Institutional racism, at turns sharply overt and cleverly subtle, provided a pivotal point for these African-American Members— influencing their agendas, legislative styles, and standing within Congress. Pioneers such as Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York, Charles C. Diggs, Jr., of Michigan, and Augustus (Gus) Hawkins of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York, a charismatic and determined civil rights proponent in the U.S. House, served as a symbol of black political activism for millions of African Americans. Image courtesy of Library of Congress California participated in the civil rights debates in Congress and helped shape fundamental laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
