Message fromthe CBCFChair Greetings, As the Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF), Iwelcome you to the 35th Annual Legislative Conference here in Washington, D.C. This year's theme is Unity.. .Power ...Progress, It is a call to come together, realize our collective power and continue to press forward withour efforts to uplift our community. Itis time for us to address current problems and plan for a better future. The challenges our communities face remain critical and are inneed of special attention. Quality educa- tion and health care, voting rights, economic development and criminal justice concerns illustrate the types of issues we must confront. This year we thought it important to emphasize the need for unity that has long functioned as the critical force necessary tobring about change inmany of our communities. This year's theme builds upon GBCF's mission to develop the next generation of African American leaders inthe political, academic, business and civicarenas. The results of our collective efforts here willbe comprehensively shared with a public anxious to unite and act. Iam pleased to report that as a result of your continued support, the CBC Spouses Scholarship Programs and our Congressional Fellowship and Internship Programs for young professionals, college and high school students have grown insize and we are now able to offer more students the opportunity to reach their dreams. Our research efforts have produced critical and timely reports on issues ranging from retirement security to environmental justice. The scope of CBCF's efforts now includes program initiatives in several regions of the African Diaspora including Braziland LatinAmerica, and CBCF has sponsored impor- tant discussions and hearings on the strategic importance ofAfrican oil to America. Inour continued drive for racial, economic and social equality, Iamproud of the Congressional Black Caucus Members, the CBCF Board Members and the CBCF staff for working so hard to ensure that the Annual Legislative Conference provides you withpertinent information on the pressing issues of our time as well as essential networking opportunities. Ithank you for joining us for our 2005 Annual Legislative Conference, and most especially, Ithank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Congressman William].Jefferson Chair, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Scheduleata Glance 30B]dl35|JBJA^ « sgraU9913g U.J]B9]^.

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).

    November 17, 2015 The Honorable Loretta E. Lynch Attorney General of the United States United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530‐0001 RE: REQUEST FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Dear Attorney General Lynch: We the undersigned share a firm belief in our criminal justice system and its overall ability to produce fair and reliable results. Compelling evidence of pervasive police and prosecutorial misconduct in Orange County, however, has caused us grave concern. We write to urge the Department of Justice to initiate an investigation into the actions of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (“OCSD”) and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office (“OCDA”) in connection with the use of jailhouse informants and the concealment of informant‐related evidence. EVIDENCE OF MISCONDUCT IN ORANGE COUNTY: AN OVERVIEW On September 30, 2015, The New York Times published an editorial addressing the situation in Orange County, which stated, in part: In a scheme that may go back as far as 30 years, prosecutors and the county sheriff’s department have elicited illegal jailhouse confessions, failed to turn over evidence that is favorable to defendants and lied repeatedly in court about what they did . Among other things, the defense argued, deputies intentionally placed informants in cells next to defendants facing trial . and hid that fact. The informants, some of whom faced life sentences for their own crimes, were promised reduced sentences or cash payouts in exchange for drawing out confessions or other incriminating evidence from the defendants. This practice is prohibited once someone has been charged with a crime.
