There was a strong emphasis on developing a coordinated preservation strategy that would set goals and impact budgeting decisions. Soon after I returned to Austin, I received an e-mail from Jeffrey Suchanek saying that the preservation /conservation survey discussed at the 1998 CPR business meeting in Orlando was ready to mail. There is clearly a growing realization of the need to identify the conservation/preservation problems in modern political collections. The survey, prepared by Jeffrey Suchanek and Mark Greene, will provide basic statistical information about current preservation/conservation and holdings maintenance practices. The information will help archivists evaluate the preservation work being done in modern political collections and help them to develop preservation strategies and budget priorities. When you receive the survey, please take the time to complete and return it; the success of this project depends on widespread participation. The survey results will be presented at the Sept. 1999 Roundtable meeting in Pittsburgh. On another note, there have been two new developments in the House of Representatives. Early last year, as you remember, there was a reorganization of the Office of the Clerk.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 340 540 RC 018 438 AUTHOR Collins, Timothy TITLE Reform and Reaction: The Political Economy of Education in Kentucky. PUB DATE Aug 91 NOTE 64p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Rural Sociological Society (Columbus, OH, August 18-21, 1991). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01 Plus Postage. PC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS Court Litigation; Economic Development; *Educational Attitudes; *Educational Change; *Educational Equity (Finance); Educational Finance; Educational Legislation; Elementary Secondary Education; *Politics of Education; *Rural Education; Social Class; Sociocultural Patterns; Socioeconomic Influences; *State Legislation IDENTIFIERS *Kentucky; Kentucky Education Re. rm Act 1990 ABSTRACT Kentucky has a long history of educational problems and of reform efforts that failed because of state neglect. These problems, which deeply affect rural economic development and are closely tied to patterns of unequal development, have become more troublesome as world markets have changed. The roots of these problems are planted in the state's sociocultural history cf rural values and attitudes, the attendant political economy based on low-skill jobs, and rural and urban class structures that reinforce social inequality. Middle-class farmers and capitalists involved in extractive industries and textiles t':aditionally have seen lictle value in worker education and have resisted tax increases for education. This paper examines the 1990 Kentucky legislative session, passage of the Kentucky Educational Reform Act of 1990, and subsequent political developments related to educational finance issues. The education reform package, which was mandated by the state Supreme Court, passed by a solid majority but still faces__ considerable opposition from a predominantly rural class-based group.

Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .

It is designed to provide information on the governmental processes to assist in planning for the gubernatorial transition. This handbook complements two other Legislative Research Commission publications: The Executive Branch of Government, revised in 1994, and the Report of the Commission on Kentucky's Government, 1991. The reader is directed to the aforementioned publications for information on the structure of the Executive Branch and description of its programs. This document is intended to be a reference tool for those involved in the gubernatorial transition. A summary of the activities to be accomplished during transition introduces the material. The body provides information on the office of Governor and how it interrelates with all levels of government. The appendices contain detailed information on the duties of the Governor. The suggested readings offer a sampling of the publications on gubernatorial transition, Kentucky political history, Kentucky's future, and leadership in the 1990's. In On Leadership, John Gardner states: "Good leaders do not ignore the machinery.

The chief operating officer of the C.J. Krehbiel Co. was so moved that he began implementing a new substance abuse policy at his printing firm, a policy that included random drug testing and an employee assistance program. The program, Krehbiel told members of the House Subcommittee on Empowerment, has been well received by company employees. He urged lawmakers on Thursday to support a bill sponsored by Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, of Terrace Park, that would provide incentives to small businesses to institute similar programs. "The children at Kids Helping Kids represented a cross section of our community," said Krehbiel.
