THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD'S VISIT TO FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS AND VAIL, COLORADO SUNDAY - AUGUST 10, 1975 • Departure: 12:30 P.M. From: Terry O'DonnelJ? BACKGROUND The invitation to visit Ft. Smith, Arkansas -- to participate in dedication ceremonies for the St. Edward Mercy Medical Center and to visit the Ft. Chaffee Refugee Resettlement Center -- was exeended by Congressman John Paul Hammerschmidt in May 1975. ST. EDWARD MERCY MEDICAL CENTER St. Edward Hospital was founded in 1905 when the Religious Sisters of Mercy had began to serve the sick and infirm in the Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma trade area that today encompasses over a half million people. The new Medical Center is built around three concepts not usually found in traditional hospitals: automation, central­ ization, and privacy. The net impact of the application of these concepts is better care for less money. Automation -- The new St. Edward will reduce its staff by approximately 15-20% through the introduction of automation systems. This alone will reduce operational expenditures by approximately $200,000 per year. With sophisticated mono-rail systems, pneumatic tube systems, and space age communications, there is increased efficiency with a decrease in personnel. These changes are planned to upgrade the level of care and at the same time reduce costs. 2 Centralization -- The idea referred to as the "no-nursing station concept" transfers non-nursing administrative duties to non-nursing personnel enabling the nurse to spend more time in the patient's immediate environment. The level of patient care is increased and total staffing requirements are reduced by 14% over conventional ho~pitals -- yet nursing personnel spend 108% more time giving direct patient care. Modern technology in the area of food service and preparation will reduce cost without diminishing food quality. Hospital food will be prepared, frozen and stored ori the premises for distribution to patients when needed. Savings occur by enabling the hospital to take advantage of seasonal buying, allowing savings in the buying of large quantities of food products, and eliminating overtime in the kitchens. Privacy -- Health facilities in the 1980s will be used to provide primary care to the acutely ill. Few patients will be in hospitals for general medical work-up or other non-acute conditions. With this in mind, St. Edward's facility is comprised of "single care units," allowing more privacy for patients, flexibility, and most probably reduced length of stay. There will be smaller satellite hospitals in the rural com­ munities built to work as partners with the new St. Edward hospital in a systems approach to health care. The satellite hospitals will be identical 22-bed modules of the St. Edward Center. Prepared food and supplies will be transported to the satellite facilities periodically in insulated trucks, eliminating the need for and duplication of laundry, kitchen and other physical facilities. This concept will reduce need for storage space by 25%, mechanical equipment space by 47%, kitchen space by 93%, and other space by 63%. Annual savings for salaries will be approximately $265,000. St. Edward Hospital has an open door policy in helping with the Vietnamese refugees at Ft. Chaffee. They have provided specialized medical backup, and the hospital itself is sponsoring a Vietnamese family of seven and employing two of them in the hospital supply department. You will deliver remarks at the outdoor dedication ceremony. 3 FT. CHAFFEE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT CENTER The Fort Chaffee Refugee Resettlement Center was opened on May 1st, 1975. It is the largest of four centers in the United States, housing approximately 21,500 refugees currently. Refugees are being processed out of Fort Chaffee at the average rate of .280 per day. More than 21,000 have been processed out into United States society and foreign countries since May 1st. The resettlement center's major tasks are (1) to receive the Vietnamese refugees, (2) to run a "city" -- the 11th largest city in Arkansas, .and (3) to place the refugees. The Center is very dependent on the Voluntary Agencies (VOLAGS} which have been resettling refugees of all religious faiths success­ fully for many years. The major 11 VOLAG"s are: The United States Catholic Conference Lutheran Immigration and Rescue Service Church World Service Christian Missionary Alliance Tolstoy Foundation Hebrew Immigration Aid Service International Rescue Committee Travelers Aid Church of Latter Day Saints At Fort Chaffee, the refugees have developed their own bureaucracy.

    COMPLAINT BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION CBHMISSIOAl INTRODUCTXON - 1 The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ("DSCC") 7-_. J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

This is Ernie Dumas and I’m at the Little Rock home of Judge John Stroud at the Round River Condominiums in Little Rock. Judge, I need to ask your permission for the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Oral and Visual History and the Arkansas Supreme Court Historical Society, which will have ownership of this tape, to use it on the web or in the archives or whatever. John Stroud: You have my full permission. ED: OK. JS: And this isn’t my home. I have lived for a long time and still do in Texarkana, Arkansas. ED: Yes. JS: But this was my abode during the Court of Appeals and I’ve just kept it. ED: And so for convenience sake today. JS: Right. ED: Rather than my driving down to Texarkana we’re doing this here in Little Rock. JS: Right, absolutely. ED: Well, Judge, you had a long, long career not only in the law but in a lot of other civic activities, but we’re going to concentrate on your life and the law and the courts. Let’s start with your birth. When and where you were born and your momma and daddy. 1 JS: I was born on October 3, 1931, in Hope, Arkansas. My father was John Fred Stroud. He went by Fred and I’m the junior. ED: The F in your name is Fred as well? JS: Yes, but I go by John.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 22, 2014 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE GOP ticket leads in Arkansas Raleigh, N.C. – PPP's newest Arkansas poll finds Republicans leading across the board in the state's key races for this year, led by Tom Cotton with a 43/38 advantage over Mark Pryor and Asa Hutchinson with a 44/38 lead over Mike Ross at the top of the ticket. Cotton's lead is up slightly from 41/39 on our previous poll. Voters aren't in love with him- 40% see him favorably to 41% with an unfavorable opinion. But Pryor continues to have tough approval ratings, with 36% giving him good marks to 51% who disapprove. Both candidates are receiving 77% of the vote from within their own party but Cotton has a substantial advantage with independents, getting 53% of their vote to 20% for Pryor. The Governor's race is pretty steady with Hutchinson's 44/38 lead little changed from 43/38 in early August. Hutchinson has positive favorability numbers (43/35) while voters are pretty closely divided in their feelings about Ross (35/36). The strong GOP advantage with independent voters carries over to this race too- 48% support Hutchinson to 23% for Ross. Barack Obama has a 31/62 approval rating in Arkansas, including 13/80 with independents, and that's probably making things hard for the Democratic ticket in the state. The news isn't all bad for progressives in Arkansas.
