  • The U.S. Congress Either Overreacts Or Underperforms
    THE U.S. CONGRESS EITHER OVERREACTS OR UNDERPERFORMS: THE U.S. POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL MANDATE, NEGLECTED HIGHWAY POLICY, AND HOW TO IMPROVE THE FIRST BRANCH OF GOVERMENT by Harrison Morton Wadswoth, IV A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland August 2016 © 2016 Harrison M. Wadsworth, IV All Rights Reserved Abstract Why, when, and how does Congress pass legislation? John Kingdon theorized in Agendas, Alternatives, and Public Policies that the U.S. Congress is unlikely to act on major public policy issues unless there is an event to focus the public’s attention. Compelled to act in the window of opportunity after a focusing event, Congress is likely to enact hastily considered policy, particularly if a proposed policy solution is already on the minds of legislators. Thus, the Congress typically either overreacts in passing legislation, or underperforms by doing nothing at all. The Kingdon theory is tested against the 2008 enactment of the Positive Train Control railroad technology mandate and found to hold strong predictive value. The theory is then tested against examples of the Congress’s unwillingness to raise excise taxes on gasoline to fund transportation programs or increase federal truck weight limits. Again, the theory is found to be valid, especially when informed by other studies of Congressional action. Lastly, recent scholarship on the Congress, and interviews with individuals with professional and academic experience with Congress, inform a discussion of what could be done to strengthen Congress so that it achieves better public policy outcomes.

We reviewed the documentation available regarding Water 2025 and on the balance believe the approach, which emphasizes the leadership role of state and local governments in water issues, to be beneficial in preventing water conflicts. We do however have an issue regarding the tools available listed in the Water 2025 proposal, specifically the lack of additional storage as a tool for meeting water scarcity demands. To truly provide a “…balanced, practical approach to water management for the next century.”, as proposed in Water 2025, additional water storage must not be precluded from the discussion. Perhaps a case study from our region may be helpful in illuminating our concerns. The mighty Columbia River creates the northern, eastern and southern border of Benton County. Cutting through the heart of the County, as it makes its way to the Columbia, is the Yakima River. While the Yakima is small in comparison to the Columbia (the average annual flow of the Yakima is 1/40 of the flow of the Columbia) water from the Yakima is relied on for a major share of the region’s agricultural economy and can play a key role in salmon recovery on the mainstem Columbia.

  • 164 Subject: Tank Closure EIS Alternatives Adopted: June 4, 2004 Page 1 Cc: Keith Klein, Manager, U.S Department of Energy, Richland Operations John Iani, U.S
    June 4, 2004 Roy Schepens, Manager U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection P.O. Box 450 Richland, WA 99352 Linda Hoffman, Director Washington State Department of Ecology P.O. Box 47600 Olympia, WA 98504-7600 Re: Tank Closure EIS Alternatives Dear Mr. Schepens and Ms. Hoffman, The Department of Energy-Office of River Protection (DOE-ORP) took comment on the scope of the Tank Closure Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in early 2002. DOE-ORP recently shared the scope and outline of alternatives under consideration with the Hanford Advisory Board’s (Board) committees. DOE-ORP hopes to issue the draft EIS in September for comment. The Board wishes to register its strong concern that no alternative in the scope of the EIS is compliant with the Tri-Party Agreement (TPA). DOE-ORP’s proposed suite of alternatives includes only one alternative that meets the TPA treatment standard of vitrifying all the wastes (after retrieval of 99% or better). All other alternatives in the EIS use additional treatment technologies and/or are not based on retrieving and treating all wastes by 2028. The Board advises DOE-ORP that the EIS should analyze at least one alternative that complies with the TPA requirements for treatment and removal of tank wastes by 2028. The baseline assumptions used for alternatives in this EIS, and others, should be in compliance with the TPA and other relevant legal requirements. Sincerely, Todd Martin, Chair Hanford Advisory Board This advice represents HAB consensus for this specific topic. It should not be taken out of context to extrapolate Board agreement on other subject matters.

    Trump Said to Tap McMorris Rodgers for Interior Dec. 9, 2016 – 10:41 a.m. President-elect Donald Trump has selected Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R- Wash., to lead the Interior Department, according to The New York Times, which cites two people close to the transition effort. She would be in charge of the nation's public lands and waters in an administration that may aim to open them up to fossil fuel extraction. McMorris Rodgers is a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, where she voted for legislation to allow more oil and gas drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf. She's also chairwoman of the House Republican Conference and the highest- ranking woman in the GOP leadership, so her move to the Cabinet would create a party leadership vacancy. Rep.

The woman, presumably a perfect stranger unti l that day, hands Dunn what may be her single most valuable possession. That poignant moment in 2004, as a “New Iraq” struggles to emerge, captures the Dunn, then co-chair of the Iraqi Women’s Caucus talks with Dr. Shifa Hadi Hussain Ali al-Haumdani during Hussain’s fi rst excursion outside of Iraq.

December 12, 2003, the fall of Saddam With orders to “kill or capture,” Operati on Red Dawn led U.S. forces across volati le land of the Middle East, rich in oil and scarred by violence. Following intelligence ti ps, they trailed the enemy in total darkness to a rural farmhouse in the village of ad-Dawr. In a swift raid, troops discovered Hussein – one of history’s most ruthless dictators – in a makeshift cellar roughly eight feet underground. It was twelve days before Christmas in 2003. Authoriti es had fi nally ousted Saddam Hussein – in a scraggly beard and dirty clothing. His modest living quarters, a far cry from the extravagant palaces to which he’d long been accustomed, consisted of a disorderly single room with a couple of beds and two pairs of shoes.
