TO: Senator Dole FR: Kerry RE: Clay Shaw Event March 13, 1994 Fort This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu TO: Senator Dole FR: Kerry RE: Clay Shaw Event March 13, 1994 Fort Lauderdale, Florida *Event is a reception for 75-100 people in a private home. They're looking for a few minutes of informal remarks. *A former Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, Shaw was first elected to Congress in 1980. Shaw had a tough race in a newly-reapportioned district in 1992, spending over $1 million, and eventually winning with 52%-37%. (11% was divided among four other candidates) *Shaw spent his first eight years in Congress on the Judiciary Committee, and then transferred over to Ways and Means. He cast decisive votes in Committee for the Catastrophic Health Care program, but quickly came out for repeal in 1989. *During the ABC child care bill, he joined with Congressman Stenholm to sponsor the alternative based on the theory that parents, rather than government bureaucrats, can make best decisions on child care. The alternative failed, but bill sponsors had to move in their direction to get a bill passed. *Shaw's staff said that he is now focusing his attention on welfare reform, where he has introduced a bill to take most people off welfare after two years, and require them to work for continued benefits.

His re- elect numbers are under 30 percent. o Insurance Commissioner Tom Gallagher and former State Commerce Secretary Jeb Bush lead the field. o Most political analysts believe a Republican will takeover the governorship. Page 2 of 20 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu REP. CLAY SHAW o The 1 92 redistricting resulted in a more difficult race for Shaw and one of the most competitive in the country. o One Republican has filed so far -- a Perot supporter. o Shaw's district is pro-choice, pro-gun control, has the oldest median age in the country (47-48) making senior citizens issues of great concern, strongly Jewish, with a strong Christian fundamentalist movement in Briar County. ISSUES OF CONCERN TO FL 22ND DISTRICT 1) Rep. Shaw is very concerned about environmental issues: o Preserving the Everglades o Protecting the Florida Bay (believed to be runoff from sugar growers -- issue to avoid) 2) Drug interdiction is a very serious issue for Clay Shaw. He favors allowing the military to get involved. 3) Immigration is getting out of control -- even the very liberal Miami Herald endorsed the use of U.S. military intervention for peacekeeping and rebuilding the country (see attached editorial) 4) Gun control is popular in the 22nd district - especially assault weapons. 5) Flood insurance and erosion zones -- Rep. Shaw opposes the Kennedy-Kerry bill because it will: o Kill the tax base o Prevents development 6) Rep. Shaw is very involved in the welfare reform movement in the House with 2-3 other members.

    Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Jennifer E. Manning Information Research Specialist Colleen J. Shogan Deputy Director and Senior Specialist November 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30261 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Women in the United States Congress: 1917-2012 Summary Ninety-four women currently serve in the 112th Congress: 77 in the House (53 Democrats and 24 Republicans) and 17 in the Senate (12 Democrats and 5 Republicans). Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • American Folklife Center & Veterans History Project Annual Report for FY2008
    AMERICAN FOLKLIFE CENTER & VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT Library of Congress Annual Report, Fiscal Year 2008 (October 2007-September 2008) The American Folklife Center (AFC), which includes the Veterans History Project (VHP), had another productive year. Over a quarter million items were acquired by the AFC Archive, which is the country’s first national archive of traditional life, and one of the oldest and largest of such repositories in the world. About 240,000 items were processed, and thus made available to researchers at the Library and beyond. In addition, the Center continued to expand programming through symposia, concerts, and public lectures; by providing field school training to universities and international organizations; and by providing technical assistance to individuals and groups. AFC also continued to be a leader in international discussions concerning traditional culture and intellectual property, and the AFC director served as a member of US delegations to meetings convened by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), UNESCO, and the Organization of American States (OAS). Both AFC and VHP provided substantial services to Congress. The Veterans History Project (VHP) continued making major strides in its mission to collect and preserve the stories of our nation's veterans, receiving upwards of 100 collections a week and acquiring over 22,000 items. The maturation of the Project was reflected by its partnership with WETA-TV and PBS in their presentation of the Ken Burns film, The War, which told the story of World War II through the memories of individual veterans from four American towns. VHP also continued to foster solid working relationships with a wide variety of project participants nationwide, including the U.S.
