Surrogate Champions for the Poor
6 Surrogate Champions for the Poor The poor, like all constituent groups, need strong advocates in Congress. They need legislators who will devote their time to issues related to poverty, and who will advance legislation to address poverty-relevant issues. Without these legislative champions, it is unlikely that the interests of the poor will be raised on Capitol Hill. Without this initial recognition, it is unlikely that the House will pursue policies intended to help the poor. As Williams writes, “before government can act in a manner that is responsive to the interest of individual citizens, those interest must be articulated by a representative in a decision-making body such as a legislature” (1998, 24). Therefore, this chapter identifies and discusses these “champions for the poor.” The previous three chapters reveal that some poverty-related legisla- tion is introduced in the House, and that certain legislators are more likely to offer such legislation. However, these chapters also make clear that the representation of the poor in Congress is not straightforward. To the extent that it occurs, it does not follow the classical paths of collective or dyadic representation. Put differently, the champions of the poor are not the usual suspects. In this chapter, I examine an alternate pathway of representation – surrogate representation – wherein a legislator represents constituents beyond his own district. I establish the role surrogate representatives play in giving the poor a political voice, and show that surrogate representation is central to how the poor are represented in Congress. This focus on surrogate champions shifts attention to the activity of legislators throughout their careers in the House, rather than at one moment in time. -

Ted Weiss Federal Building New York, Ny
GSA PBS PROSPECTUS — ALTERATION TED WEISS FEDERAL BUILDING NEW YORK, NY Prospectus Number: PNY-0350-NY15 Congressional District: 08 FY2015 Project Summary The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes a repair and alteration project to modernize elevators in the Ted Weiss Federal Building (Weiss FB) located at 290 Broadway, New York, NY. The elevators have reached the end of their useful life, are inefficient and difficult and costly to maintain. 'Phis project was among those previously included in GSA's FY 2013 Capital Investment and Leasing Program's Exigent Needs prospectus. Although the prospectus was approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the house Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on July 24, 2012, and February 28, 2013, respectively, no funds were ever appropriated. GSA will not seek to have the Exigent Needs prospectus funded in the aggregate. Instead, the agency will seek individual prospectus approval and funding for certain of the projects originally included as part of the Exigent Needs prospectus, such as the work described in this prospectus. For FY 2015. this prospectus proposes repairs and alterations to the Weiss FB at a total cost of $11,733,000.

Myth and Misrepresentation in Australian Foreign Policy Menzies and Engagement with Asia
BenvenutiMyth and Misrepresentation and Jones in Australian Foreign Policy Myth and Misrepresentation in Australian Foreign Policy Menzies and Engagement with Asia ✣ Andrea Benvenuti and David Martin Jones In 1960 the deputy leader of the Australian Labor Party, Gough Whitlam, declared that Australia “has for ten years missed the opportunity to interpret the new nations to the old world and the old world to the new na- tions.”1 Throughout the 1960s, Labor spokesmen attacked the foreign policy of Sir Robert Menzies’s Liberal–Country Party coalition government (1949– 1966) for both its dependence on powerful friends and its alleged insensitivity to Asian countries.2 This criticism of Liberal foreign policy not only persisted in later decades but also became the prevailing academic and media ortho- doxy.3 As we show here, Labor’s criticism constitutes the basis of a tenacious political myth that demands critical reevaluation. Menzies’s political opponents and, subsequently, his academic critics have claimed that his attitude toward Asia was permeated by suspicion and conde- scension. From the 1970s, an inchoate Labor left and academic understand- ing contended that conservative Anglo-centrism “had placed Australia on the losing side of almost every external engagement from the Suez Crisis to Viet- nam.”4 A decade later, analysts writing in the context of the Labor-driven doc- trine of “enmeshment” with Asia reinforced this emerging foreign policy or- 1.

Begun in 1982, the competition, based in congressional districts, provides the opportunity for Members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since its inception, more than 650,000 high school students nationwide have been involved in the program. Each year, the art of one student per participating congressional district is selected to represent the district. The culmination of the competition is the yearlong display of winning artwork in the Cannon House Office Building tunnel as well as on the House of Representatives’ website. This report provides a brief history of the Congressional Arts Caucus and the Congressional Art Competition. It also provides a history of sponsorship and support for the caucus and the annual competition.

105TH CONGRESS REPORT 1st Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 105±234 "! TED WEISS UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE JULY 31, 1997.ÐReferred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed Mr. SHUSTER, from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.R. 548] [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office] The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 548) to designate the United States courthouse located at 500 Pearl Street in New York City, New York, as the ``Ted Weiss United States Courthouse'', having consid- ered the same, report favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. Ted Weiss was born in Gava, Hungary, on September 17, 1927. In 1938, to avoid the increasing perils threatening Eastern Europe, his mother moved the family to South Amboy, New Jersey. The Weiss family took passage on one of the last passenger ships to leave Hamburg, Germany, for the duration of World War II. Congressman Weiss graduated from South Amboy High School in 1946, and joined the United States Army. He served in Japan as a news broadcaster for the Armed Forces Radio Service. Upon his return to the United States, Congressman Weiss began studies at Syracuse University. Within four and a half years at the univer- sity, he earned both his bachelor and law degrees, graduating in 1952. Congressman Weiss began his career in public service in 1953, as the Assistant District Attorney for New York City. He then en- tered the political arena by an election to the New York City Coun- cil.
