  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Essay Codification and the California Mentality by LEwIS GROSSMAN* Introduction: The Pomeroy Paradox On August 8, 1878, John Norton Pomeroy, the principal instruc- tor at the newly established Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, delivered the school's inaugural address. It was the culminating mo- ment of an exhilarating decade for California's legal profession. Six years earlier, in 1872, California had moved to the forefront of American legal reform by becoming one of the first states in the nation to codify its complete body of laws. The legislature had en- acted the California Code, which included new Civil, Criminal, and Political Codes, as well as a revised Code of Civil Procedure. Com- mittees of prominent attorneys had drafted the Code, basing it largely on the work of the illustrious New York jurist, David Dudley Field.' The centerpiece of the California Code was the Civil Code, which consolidated all of the state's statutory and common-law rules gov- erning private relations (corporations, property, torts, contracts, and domestic matters) into one meticulously arranged volume.2 Only * Associate, Covington & Burling, Washington, D.C.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, May 5, 2014 How California Became
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, May 5, 2014 How California Became “American”: Since the time of the Franciscan Missions along the California coast in the late 18th century, Mexico assumed California was simply a northwest extension of its country. With the provincial capital at Monterey, great but often corrupt Hispanic landowners governed most of what is the present State of California. They sometimes had to defend against Indians but were tolerant of a few English- speaking settlers, explorers such as John C. Fremont and passive Russians who had a fort in the north. That was the situation until the mid-1840s. An outstanding and probably the most benevolent of the landowners of Mexican descent was Mariano Vallejo, whose holdings included several million acres around and north of San Francisco Bay. The government of Mexico, in great turmoil itself, did not govern California well, and the landowners debated whether they should become a part of Spain or that of another European power. Vallejo inserted his considerable political influence on the side of the United States, and because this effort succeeded, he eventually lost most of his fortune and nearly all his land. When the U. S. government sent troops to California to defend the territory, young officers such as Ulysses S. Grant were stationed there and, unofficially at least, had to report to Vallejo. When gold was discovered by James Marshall at Sutter’s Mill east of Sacramento in 1848, that changed everything. The lure of quick fortunes brought thousands of prospectors from the east in a wave that was called the Forty-Niners’ Gold Rush.

Wood August 2009 © 2009 Leland K. Wood. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 by LELAND K. WOOD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WOOD, LELAND K., Ph.D., August 2009, Journalism When the Locomotive Puffs: Corporate Public Relations of the First Transcontinental Railroad Builders, 1863-69 (246 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The dissertation documents public-relations practices of officers and managers in two companies: the Central Pacific Railroad with offices in Sacramento, California, and the Union Pacific Railroad with offices in New York City. It asserts that sophisticated and systematic corporate public relations were practiced during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, fifty years before historians generally place the beginning of such practice. Documentation of the transcontinental railroad practices was gathered utilizing existing historical presentations and a review of four archives containing correspondence and documents from the period. Those leading the two enterprises were compelled to practice public relations in order to raise $125 million needed to construct the 1,776-mile-long railroad by obtaining and keeping federal loan guarantees and by establishing and maintaining an image attractive to potential bond buyers.

F. Low), this building has been closely associated with a number of impor- tant social and political events of the period from 185? (when it was built) to I87ii, when the Stanfords moved to San Francisco. Since 1900, under two different Roman Catholic sisterhoods, it has been a focus for orphan children or problem children as well as an occasional center of civic festivities (as in 1939, at the Sacramento centennial). Architecturally it is one of the most impressive residential buildings to survive from the 19th Century; its various revisions have resulted in a structure which is a cross-section of architectural fashions and yet a unified whole. The reconstitution of the interiors (after 1939), somewhat as they were in the I870*s, as well as the presence of untouched period fittings, make it a rare example of high Victorian taste of the silver age, comparable to the great houses destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
