WO4 aM l ' Hon. Gary Hart ' E0"3AD ' United States Senate Washington, D.C. Dear S e na '. o r H a r t : | During the past week, we have watched with interest ! your comments and your hearings on the report of the Kemeny Commission. You have heard testimony from almost everyone involved - with the exception of the people of Central . Pennsylvania. I i, It seems to us that moct everyone has ga ined something ; out of the Kemeny report: most everyone except those of us ' who were directly affected by the accident at Three Mile Island. While the Kem^eny Commission members have argued over whether i there is, in fact, a moratorium and while Chairman Hendrie ! of the NRC has stated that he will continue the existing moratorium on new licenses, the hearings on restarting TMI Unit I continue. We find ourselves, strangely, in the position of having our fate and the feture of our area placed in those very same hands that have been so roundly criticized. The irony of this situation is overwhelming; we who have suffered most from the ineptitude of the nuclear industry and its regulators will be forced to suffer again, while others around the nation will benefit from the reorganization. We have sought a suspension .of the hearings,ono the start- up of Unit 1 throu_gh the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. We have been turned down twice. Currently, we have one more motion pending, again to suspend'the hearings until the Kement ,, Commission recommenda tions are, implemented. We suspect that , we will meet with the same lack of success with this motion.. < We need your help. If the issue of Three Mile Island is a national issue, then we need a national forum to bring for- ward our position. We would like an onportunity to express our feelings to your subcommittee; we need a chance to bring ' cur concerns to the nation. 7912040 Oh! . - _ . -. - - - - . _ .. i L , Many of us have traditionally put our faith in the American : political, system. We are now facing the situation wherein the ! " system" i s not only not working for us, but instead seems to j be actively working against us.

Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1963 PRINCIPAL FILE SERIES DESCRIPTION The 1963 Principal File served as the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg office. It is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, politics, publications, statements, and trips. This subseries is comprised of a little over thirty-one boxes, and it is arranged in alphabetical order by name of subject category. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, gifts, and messages. The alphabetical subseries consists of nearly thirty-nine boxes of materials arranged in alphabetical order by names of individuals and organizations. Though primarily a correspondence file, it also contains other types of documents, including speeches, published materials, lists, statements, minutes of meetings, and transcripts of interviews. This series reveals that the volume of Eisenhower’s correspondence continued to grow. It placed an increasing burden on his staff, who answered most inquiries, and on friends such as Bryce Harlow, who often drafted letters for Eisenhower on politically sensitive subjects, and on Dwight Eisenhower himself, who continued to edit correspondence with friends and acquaintances. The increased strain on Eisenhower and his staff is revealed in the many letters which turned down requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages from the former president. The bulk of this series consists of routine correspondence and related materials. However, there are numerous letters and memoranda which discuss national and international events, issues, and personalities. The space program, taxes, the New Frontier, People to People, the Test Ban Treaty, the assassination of President Kennedy, NATO, the U.S.

DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN and the UNITED NATIONS in TRANSITION by DAVID LEE (Under the Direction of William Stueck)
DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN AND THE UNITED NATIONS IN TRANSITION by DAVID LEE (Under the Direction of William Stueck) ABSTRACT This thesis will examine how the relationship between the United States and the United Nations began to change in the 1970s. At that time, the new members of the United Nations began to attack the United States and attempted to restructure the international order in their favor. In 1975 Daniel Patrick Moynihan became US Ambassador to the United Nations and attempted to deal with the changed circumstances there based on his experience in American domestic politics. He attempted to make the United Nations, especially the General Assembly, an important part of US foreign policy by applying the ideology of Woodrow Wilson and democratic liberalism that he felt was in retreat after the Vietnam War. Moynihan was succeeded by Andrew Young and Jeane Kirkpatrick, who continued Moynihan’s overall strategy while veering away from his centrist course.

Staats, Comptroller General. Issue Area: International Economic and Military Programs (610); International Economic and Military Programs: U.S. Participation in ctivities of International Organization, (609). Contact: International Div. Budget Function: General Government: Executive Direction and Management (802); International Affairs: Conduct of Foreign Affairs (152). organization Concerned: Departmtnt of State; United Nations. Congressional Relevance: House Committee on International Relations; Senate Committee on Foreign Relations; Congress. While the United States has unquestionable monetary and political interests in the United Nations (U.N.) and other international organizations, in recent years many members of Congress and the public have questioned the effectiveness of such organizations. Findings/Conclusions Studies of the managereut of U.S. participation in several international organizations reveal continuing problems: (1) inadequate staffing and constant rotation of personnel in the State Department's Bureau of International Organizations; (2) a need for policy objectives and priorities to support U.S. participation in international organizations; and (3) the United States, as a member government, does not receive timely and sufficient information on international organization activities. Management problems within the organizations also restrict U.S. participation. The U.S. system needs restructuring, with emphasis on centralized planning, programming, budgeting, and resource allocation. Improved evaluation is a'so needed in the U.N. system. Recommendations: The President should: reaffirm the importance and priority accorded to U.S. participation in the U.N. family of organizations; charge the Secretary of State with the responsibility for formulating and directing U.S.
