Texas Governor Response GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT August 10, 2020 The Honorable David L. Bernhardt Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20240 Attn: Mr. Jeffrey Small, jeffrcv small(q ios.doi.gov Re: State of Texas Response to July 21 Letter on National Garden of American Heroes Task Force Dear Secretary Bernhardt: Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the Task Force created in response to President Donald Trump's Executive Order on Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. Like our President, I have great respect for our country's remarkable history as well as for the historical figures and heroes who laid the foundation for our lives as Americans and as Texans today. Rest assured Texans share in this sentiment to preserve and honor our history. In response to your request on July 21, 2020, for recommendations related to the creation of a National Garden of American Heroes, I reached out to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) regarding locations of natural beauty in Texas to be considered as potential sites for the garden. I also sought input from the Texas Historical Commission (THC) regarding statues or monuments to donate or loan to the garden, and tasked THC with creating a list of distinguished individuals from Texas history to be considered for recognition in the garden. The response from TPWD is enclosed. The department believes several reservoirs with associated parks and recreational land in the Dallas and Fort Worth areas to be best suited for the purpose of the national garden. The land recommended by TPWD is federally-owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. I would also like to bring to your attention for consideration the location of the future National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, which is adjacent to Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers, and AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, among other attractions POST OFFICE Box 12428 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711512-463-2000 (VOICE) DIAL 7-1-1 FOR RELAY SERVICES The Honorable David L. Bernhardt August 10, 2020 Page 2 popular among both tourists and locals. While there is no federally-owned land in this vicinity, it may be worth considering any options for utilizing the area adjacent to the National Medal of Honor Museum for the purpose of establishing the garden. Texas is also home to several National Cemeteries with surrounding natural beauty. For example, the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery and the surrounding area are particularly beautiful and could also be considered for the national garden. Also enclosed is the response from THC. Unfortunately, while no statues or sculptures are available for donation or loan at this time, Texas does boast a long list of prominent individuals who have contributed to this state as well as to our nation. Please find enclosed a preliminary sampling of prominent Texans, compiled by THC, for your consideration. Thank you for your efforts in this endeavor to preserve our nation's history for future generations to remember and learn from. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please contact my Deputy Chief of Staff, Jordan Hale, at (512) 936-2160. Sincerely, Greg Abbott Governor GA:jhd Enclosures August 7, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 ■ Austin, Texas 78711 Life's better outside." Dear Governor Abbott: Commissioners Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Department of Interior's (DOI) S. Reed Marian request relating to the establishment of a National Garden of American Heroes Chairman Houston (National Garden). In response to this request, Texas Parks and Wildlife Arch "Beaver" Aplin, Ill Department (TPWD) has thoughtfully considered federally-owned properties Vice-Chairman within the boundaries of the State of Texas that could potentially serve as suitable Lake Jackson a site. The establishment of the National Garden is pursuant to the Building and James E. Abell KIigore Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes executive order issued on July 3, 2020 Oliver J. Bell by President Donald J. Trump. Cleveland Anna B. Galo Laredo It is our understanding that any site considered for the National Garden should be Jeffery D. Hildebrand readily open to the public and be "proximate to at least one major population center Houston and not cause significant disruption to the local community" as stated in a letter Jeanne W. Latimer from Secretary Bernhardt to you on July 21, 2020. While the state does have a San Antonio number of important National Parks, National Forests, and National Wildlife Robert L. "Bobby" Patton, Jr. Fort Worth Refuges, they really do not meet the requisite proximity criteria, and also have other Dick Scott site, operational, and mission-specific parameters that would likely preclude these Wimberley tracts from consideration. It is possible that one or more tracts of land owned and Lee M. Bass managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) could merit additional Chairman-Emeritus Fort Worth evaluation. The USACE Fort Worth District alone manages at least 24 reservoirs T. Dan Friedkin with associated parks and recreational land, several being proximate to a major Chairman-Emeritus Houston population center such as Dallas and/or Fort Worth. There is no doubt that each particular USACE site has unique operational Carter P. Smith responsibilities and site-specific water management requirements, but also unique Executive Director attributes and opportunities. As such, TPWD personnel would be pleased to coordinate with our federal partners, namely DOI and USACE, to address any site- specific needs should this option be pursued. If you should have any additional questions, or desire more information from the Department, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you.

August 6, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, Texas 78711 Dear Governor Abbott: Thank you for directing your staff to share the letter from Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt with respect to the proposed National Garden of American Heroes with our agency. You asked THC for a response after reviewing the questions put forth by the letter. Secretary Barnhart’s first question is more appropriately answered by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as THC is only responsible for state historic sites. The Secretary’s second question asked if we are aware of any statues or sculptures in state ownership that might be available for use in this project. I am sorry to inform you that THC does not have any statues or sculptures available at this time. The only such features that the Texas Historical Commission has it’s possession of are historic features in their own right and are integral to the sites where they are located. As for the list of other American heroes requested by Secretary Bernhardt, I would offer the attached list for consideration. This is a very preliminary list and was developed in response the Secretary’s letter and consists solely of people with a Texas connection, all deceased. Due to the large number of notable Texans and in the absence of a specific definition of hero, I did not include artists, musicians, scientists, sports figures, or other public figure, all of whom could, depending on their contributions, be considered heroes. A more complete list would be generated through the participation of professionals with backgrounds in a variety of aspects of this state’s broad and diverse history. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, Mark Wolfe Executive Director A SAMPLING OF PROMINENT TEXANS Stephen F.

  • Mexicans and World War II 45
    Mexicans and World War II 45 Mexicans and World War II: Change and Continuity Matthew Lesh Third Year Undergraduate, University of Melbourne ‘They served us beer but not food [at the drive-in movie theatre]. They told us, ‘No, we don’t serve Mexicans’, World War II veteran Natividad Campos recalled, ‘I felt pretty bad because I felt I was just as American as anybody else’.1 Campos’ experience reflected that of thousands of Mexican Americans trying to belong in a world in which they were considered non-white and consequently plagued by discrimination.2 This challenge of belonging encapsulated the Mexican American wartime experience. On the home front Mexicans stood out as patriotic supporters of the war effort. They took up various jobs in war industry, migrated to America to work in agriculture, and raised money to buy war bonds. In the military, Mexican Americans excelled in various capacities, served in combat roles out of proportion to their numbers, and received more decorations for bravery than any other ethnic group.3 During the war, Mexican Americans experienced changes in treatment and an increase in opportunity. Nevertheless, discrimination continued in education, the workplace, restaurants, in public facilities, and in housing. World War II was a turning point in which Mexican Americans were invigorated to fight against this injustice following the clash of an increased sense of self-worth, created by the contribution to the war effort, and the ongoing experience of racism.4 This article investigates this turning point by exploring the experiences of Mexican Americans before, during, and after World War II.

  • The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady
    The Evolution of the Image of the First Lady Reagan N. Griggs Dr. Rauhaus University of North Georgia The role of the First Lady of the United States of America has often been seen as symbolic, figurative, and trivial. Often in comparison to her husband, she is seen as a minimal part of the world stage and ultimately of the history books. Through this research, I seek to debunk the theory that the First Lady is just an allegorical figure of our country, specifically through the analysis of the twenty- first century first ladies. I wish to pursue the evolution of the image of the First Lady and her relevance to political change and public policies. Because a woman has yet to be president of the United States, the First Lady is arguably the only female political figure to live in the White House thus far. The evolution of the First Lady is relevant to gender studies due to its pertinence to answering the age old question of women’s place in politics. Every first lady has in one way or another, exerted some type of influence on the position and on the man to whom she was married to. The occupants of the White House share a unique partnership, with some of the first ladies choosing to influence the president quietly or concentrating on the hostess role. While other first ladies are seen as independent spokeswomen for their own causes of choice, as openly influencing the president, as well as making their views publicly known (Carlin, 2004, p. 281-282).

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals

Because President Johnson frequently returned to his home during his tenure in office, the Secret Service maintained a command post in a small house on the ranch that overlooked the Texas White House. From that building, agents guarded the Johnson family from the 1960s unti I the death of Lady Bird Johnson in 2007. The National Park Service can use the building to interpret the involvement of the Secret Service both in the wider story of presidential protection and in the personal story of Lyndon B. Johnson and his interaction with the agents. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ILLUSTRATIONS 6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 7 PERSONNEL 8 SECTION I: PROJECT OVERVIEW 9 A. Introduction/Scope 10 B. Methodology IO C.
