  • House State and Local Government Committee House Bill 195 – Women Veterans’ Day Sponsor Testimony 1 MAY 2019
    House State and Local Government Committee House Bill 195 – Women Veterans’ Day Sponsor Testimony 1 MAY 2019 Chair Perales, Vice Chair Hood, and members of the House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs Committee thank you for the opportunity to testify today regarding House Bill 195. And thank you to my joint sponsor, Assistant Majority Whip Lanese, for working with me on this important piece of legislation. While President Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act in 1948, it would be 45-years before the Pentagon, under the direction of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, would lift the ban on women serving on combat aircraft and warships in 1993. It took time for Aspin’s directive to make an impact. It wasn’t until 1998 that female fighter pilots flew into combat for the first time as part of a four- day bombing campaign on Iraq and Kathleen McGrath became the first woman to command a Navy warship. In that same year, Heather Wilson—now Secretary of the Air Force—was elected to represent New Mexico’s First Congressional District, becoming the first female military veteran to complete a full term in Congress. It was a privilege of mine to intern for her. In 2005, Leigh Ann Hester, an Army National Guard soldier would become the first woman since the end of WWII to earn the Silver Star for her service after she outmaneuvered 50-insurgent fighters in Iraq, assaulting and clearing two trenches 8-years before Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women serving in combat altogether. This is not to say the progress women veterans have made have been limited to our most recent history.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • Peter Conti-Brown*
    CONTI-BROWN 64 STAN. L. REV. 409 (DO NOT DELETE) 2/16/2012 3:58 PM ELECTIVE SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY Peter Conti-Brown* Government bailouts are expensive, unjust, and unpopular, and they usually represent dramatic deviations from the rule of law. They are also, in some cases, necessary. The problem that bailouts pose, then, is that they are almost always inimical to the interests of society, except when they are not. This complexity is ignored under the recent Dodd-Frank Act, which improbably guarantees an end to taxpayer bailouts. Indeed, much of the Act makes bailouts more likely, not less, by making the wrong kind of bailouts available far too often. This Article proposes to solve the problem of bailouts by retaining governmental ability to make the right kinds of bailouts possible through forcing the bailed-out firms to internalize the bailout costs. The proposal—called “elective shareholder liability”—allows bank shareholders two options. They must either change their bank’s capital structure to include dramatically less debt, consistent with the consensus recommendation of leading economists; or alternatively, they must add a bailout exception to their bank’s limited- shareholder-liability status, thus requiring shareholders—not taxpayers—to cover the ultimate costs of the bank’s failure. This liability would be structured as a governmental collection, similar to a tax assessment, for the recoupment of all bailout costs against the shareholders on a pro rata basis. It would also include an up-front stay on collections to ensure that there are, in fact, taxpayer losses to be recouped and to mitigate government incentives for overbailout, political manipulation, and crisis exacerbation.

How much defense is enough in the post–Cold War era?”1 Finding a satisfactory answer to these deceptively simple questions not only motivated the Bottom-Up Review but has arguably animated defense strategy for the past quarter century.
