And "f! g,P, each of these decisions will be difficult politically and will have domestic implications. that will require t~-~ ~ ~ ~. the support and understanding of the American people and the Congress. The most significant of these decisions relate to specific countries and/or areas of the world.

" It is important that we understand the political I dimensions of the challenges we face on these specific I '- issues: 1. There is a limited public understanding of most foreign policy issues. This is certainly the case with SALT II and the Middle East. This is not altogether bad as it provides us an opportunity to present these issues to the public in an politcally advantageous way. At the same time, most of these issues assume a simplistic political coloration. If you favor norm- I ! 11"' ilization of relations with Cuba or Vietnam, you are II I '-, I~ '«"~ .' ~ : "", • .;.

    Exit Interview with Rex Granum, Deputy Press Secretary Interviewer: Dr. Thomas Soapes of the Presidential Papers Staff December 10, 1980, in Rex Granum’s office in the White House Transcriber: Lyn Kirkland and Winnie Hoover Soapes: Let's start with a little bit of your background. Could you give me where you were born and your formal education? Granum: Born in Dayton, Ohio. My father was in Civil Service, so we did live in a number of Southern towns - Mobile, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee. Grew up in Warner Robins, Georgia, from the third grade on went to public schools there. The University of Georgia --- journalism degree. I went--when I graduated from the University of Georgia, I went to the Atlanta Constitution, the morning paper in Atlanta, and eventually began to be a political writer there and came over and covered state government, covering Governor Jimmy Carter, his Press Secretary, Jody Powell, and his Executive Secretary, Hamilton Jordan, and then Frank Moore succeeded Hamilton when Hamilton went to--came to Washington during that change. So, that was the main point at which I became acquainted with the political beat. Soapes: How long were you on the political beat? Granum: Uh, I guess two years--two and a half years, something like that. Soapes: So the last--you say the last couple of years were--. Granum: --Yes. I covered the last six months of his time in the Governor's Office. And from March of '74--so it was longer than six months --I went over to the State Capitol in March of '74 and stayed there until early January of '76 and, of course, the President--or the Governor's term--Governor at that time, his term ended in January of '75.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. In this study, beliefs and convictions are delineated by the extent to which the belief is also operationalized in policy; that is, a conviction is a belief that has been applied in a substantive manner. For example, as we will see in chapter 6 that deals with Reagan’s cognetic narrative, he had a belief that abortion was abhorrent and immoral, but he had a competing conviction that it was not a government’s role to impose limits on freedom of choice. In effect, his conviction about limited government overrode his belief about abortion from becoming a conviction. For members of the Religious Right, for whom prohibiting abortion was clearly a conviction, Reagan managed to assuage them with rhetoric, but the record shows that he did not act in a substantive manner. 2.

They used to ask me if I thought the first lady ought to be paid. If you get paid, then I have to do what the first lady is supposed to do. But you can do anything you want to. And it's such a great soapbox. I mean it's just such a great opportunity. So I would -- I would advise any first lady to do what she wanted to do. If she doesn't want -- and another thing I learned is you're going to criticized no matter what you do. I could have stayed there at the White House, poured tea, had receptions, and I would have been criticized as much as I was criticized outside of -- for what I did, but -- and I got a lot of criticism. But you learn to live with it, as I said earlier. I mean, just live with it. You expect it, and you live with it and never let it influence me.

CAN UNITED STATES VOTERS STILL RECRUIT SOMEONE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AS AN INDEPENDENT AFTER THE IDENTITIES OF THE MAJOR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE KNOWN? Richard Winger* SYNOPSIS: In 1983 the United States Supreme Court ruled that early petition deadlines for independent and minor party presidential candidates are unconstitutional. Between 1983 and 2001, all lower courts that heard cases on this issue were unanimous that petition deadlines for "outsider" presidential candidates must be later than early July. However, starting in 2002, all courts that have considered the constitutionality of early deadlines have upheld them (except that the Sixth Circuit struck down a deadline that was a year before the election).
