Eckstein served as the research director for Michigan UAW-CAP; executive director of the Governor’s Commission on Jobs and Economic Development, where he drafted several important pieces of worker’s compensation legislation; and finally as research director of the Michigan AFL-CIO. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Economics and earned his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard. Mr. Eckstein also taught economics at several universities and worked on the political campaigns of Carl Levin, Jennifer Granholm and Howard Wolpe. Eckstein retired in 1999 but is still active in various political causes in Michigan. The material in this collection documents Eckstein’s time serving on different government committees, such as those relating to unemployment and worker’s compensation legislation. There is also some material related to his time working for UAW-CAP and on local, state, and national elections. Some of the folder headings were created by Eckstein and contain abbreviations such as WC for worker’s compensation, UC for unemployment commission or VC for venture capital. These abbreviations have been spelled out in full in the finding aid. Important Subjects: Democratic Party (Mich.)

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MICHIGAN "THUMB'' EVENT BRIEF THE AREA: Almost entirely agricultural. The chief products in the area are navy beans (USED IN SENATE BEAN SOUP) sugar beets and corn. Sanilac County has a higher degree of dairy farming than Tuscola or Huron. THE ISSUES: The chief issue in the "thumb" is the farm crisis. The price of land is down. Farmers are receiving low prices for farm products. Production costs are high. Farm implement dealers are also in an economic crisis. A recent survey of agricultural bankers showed that the dollar values of ''good" farmland in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, which includes the Thumb, showed a 3 percent drop in the first quarter of 1986. The survey also indicated that the 3 percent decline in the first quarter compares to a 10 percent decline for the past year from April '85 to April '86. The survey confirms that the rate of decline in farmland values has slowed. The survey of 500 agricultural bankers was conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank's Chicago-based Seventh district. The district includes Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. THE POLITICS: About 500 precinct delegate candidates from Huron, Tuscola, and Sanilac counties will attend tonight's fundraiser. About 350 precinct delegates will be elected from the Thumb area. Many delegate candidates have not made up their minds as to which presidential candidate they prefer. Many, since this is a heavy agricultural area, are waiting to hear you before they make a decision.

As as result, the user is advised that some errors in character recognition may have resulted within the text. >> OPEN-END RESPONSES FOR THE 1987 PILOT WAVES 1 AND 2 N.B. 1. The first part of this section is a memo by John Zaller, "Cognitive Responses to Survey Questions" which documents and discusses the coding scheme for the cognitive experiments on the Pilot Study. Those who plan to use these data should, without fail, read this memo. 2. The Zaller memo is followed by the open-end master codes: a) direction of response b) emotional intensity and elaboration of thought c) Frame of reference and content code 3. Numerous variables refer to PF 10. PF 10 is a function key used by CATI interviewers in recording comments of respondents. These side comments have been coded for this study. 4. In Wave 2 variables, respondents who were interviewed in Wave 1 but not re-interviewed in Wave 2 have had data variables padded with O's. This is not explicitly stated in the variable documentation. COGNITIVE RESPONSES TO SURVEY QUESTIONS The 1987 Pilot study carried a series of questions designed to elicit information about what is on people's minds as they respond to survey questions. The basic method was to ask individuals a standard policy question and then to use open-ended probes tofind out what exactly the individual thought about that issue.

The House of Representatives rejected the request by a vote of 215 to 213. Shocked CIA director William Casey credited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) saying, ―If Tip O‘Neill didn‘t have Maryknoll nuns who wrote letters, we would have a contra program.‖ The Reagan administration‘s efforts to discredit, harass, and undermine various NGO‘s throughout the 1980s showed how powerful they believed the movement of NGOs to be. Finally, after the House of Representatives narrowly voted down renewed funding for the Contras in February 1988, both the leaders of the anti-Contra aid and the Contra aid backers credited or blamed NGOs for the defeat of Contra funding. This study examines how and why NGOs were able to play a decisive role in the decision making of United States foreign policy over the Sandinista-Contra conflict in Nicaragua.

The sequester or automatic cuts mandated by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction law took effect at midnight November 20. The effect on library programs is an 8.9 percent cut from FY 1987 funding levels. (See the October 28 ALA Washington Newsletter for a table of sequester levels for library programs and background on how the 8.9 percent level was calculated.) The cuts will remain in effect unless within ten legislative working days, ending about December 15, alternative means of reducing the deficit by $23 billion are signed into law. Up until November 19 it was expected that Congress would vote to extend the sequestration deadline if an agreement between congressional and White House negotiators on reducing the deficit was reached or was imminent. However, it became apparent that the votes to pass such an extension were not there, and the President signed the order allowing the sequester to take place.

    The House of Representatives, June 19,1992

    June 19,1992 The Houses of Representatives by Craig Ruff Control of the Michigan House of Representatives overshadows all other state political stakes in 1992, but the evacuation of the state's delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives has commanded the lion's share of attention. This analysis updates earlier, speculative discussion of the House campaigns. THE MICHIGAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Outcomes in the 110 individual races for the Michigan House of Representatives will determine whether Democrats share in state policy making in 1993-94, Republicans gain carte blanche power to reapportion all congressional and state legislative districts, and which individual members control the flow and substance of legislation in the lower chamber. Currently holding a 59-50 edge (with one heavily Democratic district vacant), Democrats may be entitled to some nervousness about retaining their uninterrupted, 24-year majority. But Republicans have raised expectations before (in 1972,1980, and 1984) of gaining a majority only to have L the Democrats hold on. Reapportionment Uncertainties The appeal in federal court of the new reapportionment maps places some House districts in limbo for future elections, but not 1992. The ACLU and NAACP, with support from the secretary of state and attorney general, are arguing in U.S. district court that the state supreme court's plan diluted the votes of African- Americans. The plaintiffs argue that at least 15 House and 5 Senate districts should contain majorities of minority residents; the state supreme court's plan drew 13 and 4 minority majority districts, respectively, for the House and Senate. At issue will be the relative priority given to full compliance with the federal voting rights act versus the state supreme court's protection of political jurisdictional lines (cities, counties, and townships).

    Michigan Roundup, April 2, 1992

    April 2,1992 Legislative Week in Review .The legislative traffic jam on auto insurance reform remains a confusing snarl in many taxpayers' minds following lawmakers' approval of SB 691 and Govemor John Engler's promise to veto it. State Insurance Commissioner David Dykhouse has called the legislation fundamentally flawed, but its provisions-including mandatory rate rollbacks-are moot if the govemor follows through as expected with his veto threat. In that case, state auto insurance rates will be determined by methods predating 1986 Essential Insurance Act reforms that lapsed March 3 1. The likely effect will be that some urban drivers will see their rates lowered, while some suburban and outstate drivers will experience increases. The govemor has 14 days to sign or veto the bill that passed the House 94-12 and the Senate 24-14. .Govemor Engler will issue an April 16 executive order outlining cuts to absorb the state's $785 million deficit in the current year budget. The announcement ends a stalemate punctuated with increasingly vitriolic volleys between House Democrats and the administration over who should take the initiative in downsizing the budget to match recession-sapped revenues. 8 The Senate passed the following five department budget bills this week: Community Colleges (SB 748), $247 million general fund (GF); Higher Education (SB 751), $1,304 million GF; Corrections (SB 749), $937 million GF; Mental Health (SB 753), $959 million GF; and Public Health (SB 756), $146 million GF. .A bill offering an education warranty passed the Senate 31-3 this week. SB 775 would require Michigan schools to guarantee a specified proficiency level in reading, writing, and math on the part of their graduates and provide remedial training on demand of former students or their employers for up to two years after graduation.
