The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, in room 4232, Dirk- sen Senate Office' Building, commending at 10:15 a.m., Senator Jeremiah Denton (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Prezent: Senator Hatch (the chairman), and Senator Denton. Senator DENTON. Good morning. The hearing of the Subcommittee on Aging Family and Human Services will come to order. We are fortunate to have our distinguished chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee, Senator Orrin Hatch from Utah, who needs, of course, no introduction. I want to acknowledge his leadership of an extremely difficult committee. And you can understand the derivation of the term "difficult" if you were to look at the make up of this committee which Senator Hatch chairs. He has tremendous responsibilities and he has overcome great handicaps in making the best of ex- tremely difficult circumstances. He also shares a tremendous interest in the issues under the jur- isdiction of this subcommittee which he has privileged me with chairing, particularly the issue of family which we are addressing this morning. So, it is with pleasure thp. I turn the microphone over to our chairman. I understand that son-v of the early witnesses here are from Utah. Senator Hatch. Senator HATcli. Thank you, Senator Denton. Mr. Chairman, I congratulate you on your continuing efforts to highlight family life, and to continue to direct our attention to the importance of maintaining a strong and healthy family atmosphere in America. Mr. Chairman, we have a cohort of family scholars who are na- tionally recognized as leaders in their fields. Two of these experts are from Utah and are with us this morning: Dr. Wesley Burr and Dr. Brent Miller. Dr. Burr is professor of family sciences and sociology at Brigham Young University. He is also director of the Family Living Center (1) 2 at the university. Dr. Burr is the immediate past president of the Utah Council on Family Relations, and he is currently president of the National Council on Family Relations. The National Council on Family Relations is a major organization of family scholars, re- searchers and educators in America. D. Burr has written numer- ous articles and books on family life, among other things. Dr. Brent Miller is associate professor of Family and Human De- velopment at Utah State University. He is on the board of direc- tors of the National Council on Family Relations. and is on the edi- torial board of the Journal of Marriage and the Family. He has dune family research, and published numerous articles and chap- ters relating to family study. Most recently he has conducted some very interesting and important research on teenage pregnancy in Utah, in an attempt to determine differences in background and fathily life for teens who are sexually active, from teens who are not. Mr. Chairman, I brought a copy of his work on teenage pregnan- cy which I have autographed for you and I would like you to have because of your great work in this area. I know the chairman has a particular interest in adolescent preg- nancy,. and I have enjoyed working together with him on our ado- lescent family life program which was adopted by the Congress last year. I think that was a step in the right direction. Fo, Mr. Chairman, I am happy to give you that copy of Dr. Mill- er's study, which I know you will find interesting. I might mention that another old friend I see out in the audience here is Dr. Carlfred Broderick. We have been friends for many, many. years. We are happy to welcome you to the committee too. I am sure that the chairman is going to enjoy the testimony of all three of you as well as the other excellent witnesses here today. So, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the committee and I am glad I could be here for these few minutes. I have to excuse myself because of Lhe Judiciary Committee markup and then the markup on the Budget Committee. I have three other places actually be- cause the Small Business Committee is holding hearings right now as well. So, with that, I appreciate you letting me go first and introduce my fellow Utahans, and, of course, express my regards to Carlfred. Mr. Chairman, I am proud of you and I am proud of what you are doing in these hearings. They are long overdue.

  • 1 Written Testimony of J. Gerald Hebert on the Nomination Of
    Written Testimony of J. Gerald Hebert On the Nomination of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III For Attorney General of the United States January 9, 2016 Thank you Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Feinstein, and members of the Committee. My name is J. Gerald Hebert. For the first twenty-one years of my legal career I practiced law as an attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), where I served as Acting Chief, Deputy Chief, and Senior Litigation Counsel in the Voting Section. I am currently the Director of the Voting Rights and Redistricting program at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit election law organization in Washington, D.C. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center. This testimony presents my views as to the nomination of Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III to be the Attorney General of the United States, based on my personal experience with Mr. Sessions and my professional experience as a civil rights attorney for over forty years. In 1986, I testified before this Committee when it considered, and subsequently rejected, Mr. Sessions’ nomination to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. I testified then that Mr. Sessions’ personal interactions with me demonstrated a troubling tendency towards racial insensitivity. I stand by my 1986 testimony in its entirety, which was given to the best of my knowledge and belief. His actions in the interim have convinced me that Mr. Sessions has little respect for the civil rights laws he would be charged to enforce as Attorney General.

  • Mclemore Preliminary Pages DISSERTATION NOVEMBER 2012
    The Second Reconstruction in Local Politics: Alabama Grassroots Activists Fulfilling the Promise of the Voting Rights Act, 1960-1990 by Lawrence Underwood McLemore A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama December 8, 2012 Keywords: Voting Rights Act, political activists, black suffrage, Alabama, Alabama Democratic Conference Copyright 2012 by Lawrence Underwood McLemore Approved by David C. Carter, Chair, Associate Professor of History Charles A. Israel, Associate Professor of History Kelly Kennington, Assistant Professor of History Abstract In arguing that historians expand the timeline for what is considered the modern civil rights movement, this dissertation examines how grassroots Alabama activists affiliated with the Alabama Democratic Conference carried the struggle for political equality forward on the local level after the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This dissertation also argues that Alabama voting rights activists understood that change begins at the local level, and employed the Voting Rights Act in dismantling a variety of racially discriminatory laws and customs that governed political and electoral practices in their state. Many narratives of civil rights struggles have focused on national figures and institutions, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, President Johnson, the Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court. This dissertation focuses, instead, on the local citizen-activists in Alabama who won hard-fought victories in voting rights by collaborating and utilizing connections with powerful leaders and institutions. Between 1960 and 1990, Alabama Democratic Conference activists succeeded in enfranchising most black citizens of Alabama. In the process, these political activists transformed Alabama’s politics and the state electorate.

    IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES: POLARIZATION AND PARANOIA By ROBERT WINSTON SCHARR A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Robert Winston Scharr To my most loyal family and friends ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My study of Congress began close to a decade ago, when my advisor, Dr. Lawrence Dodd, instructed me on the inner workings of the institution. Dr. Dodd, together with Dr. Scot Schraufnagel, had begun a series of works linking legislative productivity to partisan polarization. Amidst the legislative gridlock of the time, I noticed an increasingly contentious discourse on immigration policy both within and outside the institution of Congress. Having lived abroad before, and having dealt with the realities of being a foreigner, and having befriended countless immigrants visiting my own country, I have always placed a high value on advocating a fair treatment of immigrants. Thus, I formed an interest in Congress passing reform that accommodates the millions of immigrants who contribute to American society, with, of course, the safeguards necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the U.S. immigration system. With this in mind, I began to explore why Congress was able to make progress with reform in previous eras, but unable to do so in the modern era. I found my first major clue in the historical DW-NOMINATE trends put forth by Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, which seek to measure ideology of individual members as well as the ideological distance between the two major parties.
