  • 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.

    U.S. GLOBAL LEADERSHIP: IMPACT ON TENNESEE WITH SENATOR BOB CORKER Speaker 1: Making the world a better and safer place and we are honored by his presence as well as the presence of the leaders of our community, and so we want to now bless the food and thank the Lord for it. Holy God, we thank you that from your hands we are fed and clothed, and we thank you that our Lord taught us that our heavenly father causes the rain to shine upon the just and the unjust and that we are responsible for one another, and in this globalized village now that we live in, it is our responsibility whatever our political persuasion or whatever part of the community that we represent especially if we lead it to responsibly engage in the needs of that global community and to do it with care and consideration. We thank you now for this food. We thank you for these wonderful leaders that are gathered here today because they care about these things, and we pray that your spirit will guide across the table the kinds of conversations today that will birth new ventures and be a blessing to the peoples of the world. Amen. Please enjoy your lunch. Speaker 2: Thanks everyone. We are going to go ahead and get started. They are setting up some extra seats in the back and some more on the side, so if you can please find a seat, and they'll continue to serve lunch while our program goes on.

All eyes were on Beto O’Rourke this election cycle, and that is understandable. O’Rourke’s infectious energy, youthful spirit, and commitment to reaching out to every Texan possible rendered him a national beacon of hope for Democrats across the country, even in defeat. But while O’Rourke won over millions Who We Are across the nation, a more unconventional Democrat tried to accomplish the same goal in a different way: Phil Bredesen of Tennessee. The Texas Orator is a multi-partisan, peer-reviewed political publication Phil Bredesen has long been an unconventional Democrat. Formerly the mayor of Nashville and governor that is part of the Associated of Tennessee, he focused more on the local politics of Tennessee, most notably playing a key role in Collegiate Press. We value thorough securing an NFL team for the state. While in office, Bredesen often opted for GOP-esque policies like analysis in our articles and strive to opposing a state income tax and reducing Medicaid costs, and despite losing some favorability amongst his protect the ideals of free speech and Democratic peers, he fared exceptionally well in the deep-red state.

  • A History of Tennessee.Indd
    352 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 353 SECTION VI Tennessee 354 TENNESSEE BLUE BOOK A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE 355 A HISTORY OF TENNESSEE The Land and Native People Tennessee’s great diversity in land, climate, rivers, and plant and animal life is mirrored by a rich and colorful past. For all but the last 200 years of the 12,000 years or so that this country has been inhabited, the story of Tennessee is the story of its native peoples. The fact that Tennessee and many of the places in it still carry Indian names serves as a lasting reminder of the significance of its native inhabit- ants. Since much of Tennessee’s appeal for her ancient people as well as for later pioneer settlers lay with the richness and beauty of the land, it seems fitting to begin by considering some of the state’s generous natural gifts. Tennessee divides naturally into three “grand divisions”—upland, often moun- tainous, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee with its foothills and basin, and the low plain of West Tennessee. Travelers coming to the state from the east encounter first the lofty Unaka and Smoky Mountains, flanked on their western slope by the Great Valley of East Tennessee. Moving across the Valley floor, they next face the Cumberland Plateau, which historically attracted little settlement and presented a barrier to westward migration. West of the Plateau, one descends into the Cen- tral Basin of Middle Tennessee—a rolling, fertile countryside that drew hunters and settlers alike. The Central Basin is surrounded on all sides by the Highland Rim, the western ridge of which drops into the Tennessee River Valley.
