Warren, who failed to recover retroactive survivors' benefits from the Veterans Admin­ istration totaling $6,240 on behalf of her four children. You certainly make a compelling case for the recovery of these benefits, and I have asked the Veterans Administration for a complete report on the matter. I understand further that there is precedent for the intro­ duction of a private claims bill on Mrs. W~rren's behalf, in a case which closely parallels her situation, and which has been favorably reported by the House Judiciary Claims Subcommittee. Once I receive the VA's report, I will give serious consideration to introducing such a bill.

In his lifetime, the only claim for Veterans Administration Benefits he filed was for dental treatment, "Mrs. Warren filed claim for insurance benefits with the Veterans Administration early in June 1958, and on July 3, 1958, was awarded $289.80 monthly payable in thirty-six installments. Payment was completed on March 6, 1961. 11 On June 20, 1958, blank 8-534, Claim for Dependents Compensation or Pension Benefits, was sent to the widow. On July 28, 1958, a claim for Burial Allowance was filed by Attorneys Gorman, Bohonnon & Peck of New Haven, Connecticut, for Mrs. Warren and payment was made in August 1958. "On July 1, 1960, the law firm of Gorman, Bohannon & Peck filed the claim form 534 signed by Mrs. Warren and indicated that they felt the children would be entitled to benefits although the widow might now.

VIETNAM VETERANS, DESERTERS, AND DRAFT-EVADERS A Summer Study The Ford Foundation September 1974 INTRODUCTION No group of Americans was touched as deeply by the Vietnam conflict as the millions of young men who came to maturity in the decade between 1964 and 1973. On this group fell most of the burden of fighting the war. The bur- den was shared unequally because the nation lacked a system of universal military service. Nearly 60% of all draft-age men during these years did not serve in the armed forces. This report is a preliminary study of the effects of the war on the lives of a limited part of the Vietnam generation: those who entered military service and those who became lawbreakers out of opposition to participation.

Marybeth Peters, former Register of Copyrights, said that if Barbara Ringer was known as the mother of the 1976 Copyright Act, Kastenmeier was its father. Kastenmeier guided the 1976 Copyright Act through lengthy Congressional committee proceedings to enactment on October 19, 1976. He also presided over the legislative process that brought about U.S. adherence to the Berne Convention in 1989. During his tenure, he authored 48 pieces of intellectual property legislation, a number that included 21 laws amending the Copyright Act, according to the New York Times. Kastenmeier served for 32 years in the “Copyright law touches House of Representatives. First elected in 1958 a society’s moral, from Wisconsin, he was reelected 15 times but was defeated in the 1990 election. At that artistic, and cultural time, Ralph Oman, then Register of Copyrights, sensibilities. The said, “He has written a record of extraordinary achievement.

    ADDRESS THE BALANCE OF ROBERT KASTENMEIER LAWRENCE LESSIG* The Fifteenth Annual Kastenmeier Lecture University of Wisconsin Law School October 24, 2003 Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power "to promote the Progress of Science." ' Congress exercises this power by granting "authors" and "inventors" limited-term monopolies for their creativity. Monopolies were the nuclear weapons of eighteenth century government-rarely, if ever, to be used, and inherently, and unavoidably, dangerous. Thus, the Framers were quite explicit about the narrow purpose for which these monopolies might be granted-"Progress"-and explicit about the limits that would restrict their scope-they were to be granted only "to Authors and Inventors,"2 only for "Writings and Discoveries," and only for "limited Times." The Progress Clause is unique within the power granting clauses of Article I, Section 8.' It is the only clause that "describes both the objective which Congress may seek and the means to achieve it." 4 It was the first clause relied upon by the U.S. Supreme Court to strike a * Professor Lawrence Lessig, C.

  • Congressman Robert Kastenmeier and Professor John Stedman: a Thirty-Five Year Relationship
    CONGRESSMAN ROBERT KASTENMEIER AND PROFESSOR JOHN STEDMAN: A THIRTY-FIVE YEAR RELATIONSHIP JOHN A. KIDWELL* I INTRODUCTION We expect our elected officials to be good talkers. In fact, people often associate famous political figures with their gift for speech-making. Abraham Lincoln, William Jennings Bryan, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Roosevelt come to mind. Members of the House and Senate often seek to emulate such speakers, no doubt dreaming of higher office. There are also times when a rousing speech is needed to rally others to an important cause. Therefore, a certain amount of public oratory can be useful, and when not useful, is at least harmless. The true work of government, however, is in the creation and modification of institutions for achieving the ends of government. In order to do that work a legislator must exercise sound judgment; the oratorical flourish is of little value. It is unlikely that legislators have ever solved important problems by deduction from political epigrams. What is needed instead is a sense of right ends, and an understanding of how to achieve those ends. It is impractical, however, to expect our elected officials to know enough, when elected, to answer all of the questions they must answer in the course of their work. Legislators must learn on the job. They must supplement their instincts and knowledge by relying on congressional mechanisms for marshalling the expertise of others. Therefore, although one might be elected to Congress with a fully developed talent for speech-making, that talent is insufficient. Successful legislators must be good listeners as well.

  • Congressional Member Organizations: Their Purpose and Activities, History, and Formation
    Congressional Member Organizations: Their Purpose and Activities, History, and Formation Robert Jay Dilger Senior Specialist in American National Government July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40683 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Congressional Member Organizations: Purposes and Activities, History, and Formation Summary There are 645 informal Member organizations listed in the Congressional Yellow Book or registered with the Committee on House Administration. On average, House Members report membership in 26 informal Member organizations and Senators report membership in 12. Of these 645 informal organizations, 256 are registered with the Committee on House Administration as a congressional Member organization (CMO). The term “congressional Member organization” refers to a group of Members who join together in pursuit of common legislative objectives and register the organization with the Committee on House Administration. In many instances, Members assign personal staff (including shared employees) under the Member’s control to assist the CMO in carrying out its legislative objectives. Any informal group of House Members who wish to use personal staff to work on behalf of an informal Member group, discuss their membership in the group in official communications, or mention their membership on their official House website must register the group with the Committee on House Administration as a CMO. There are no registration requirements in the Senate. Informal Member organizations that are not registered with the Committee on House Administration (including those in the Senate) are called “informal Member groups.” The term “informal Member organization” is used when referring to both CMOs and informal Member groups.
