Please contact us with any questions or comments: http://dolearchive.ku.edu/ask NANA-6. LASKY-DOLE (COLUMN) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAY IT STRAIGHT I SENATOR BOB DOLE OF KANSAS FIGHTS LIKE BULLDOG FOR GOP BY VICTOR LASKY NORTH AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ALLIANCE WASHINGTON, SEPT. 18 (NANA) -- AMONG THOSE AVAILABLE TO CAMPAIGN EFFECTIVELY ON ADMINISTRATION ISSUES, MORE AND MORE ATTENTION IS BEING PAID TO REPUBLICAN SENATOR ROBERT DOLE OF KANSAS. DOLE SPENT EIGHT YEARS AS A RELATIVELY OBSCURE MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BEFORE BEING ELECTED TO THE SENATE IN 1968. BUT AS A FRESHMAN SENATOR, STILL WITH LESS THAN TWO YEARS IN THAT BODY, HE HAS BLOSSOMED AS A MAJOR SPOKESMAN FOR THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION. HIS WILLINGNESS TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED ON THE PRESIDENT'S BEHALF, HIS CONSTANT PRESENSE ON THE FLOOR AS SOMETIMES THE SOLE DEFENDER OF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS HARD-NCB ED APPROACH TO DEBATE HAVE BROUGHT HIM CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION AT A TIME WHEN THE ELECTED LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN LESS THAN CONSTANT IN ITS SUPPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATION. ALREADY THERE IS TALK AMONG ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTERS IN THE SENATE OF HIS BEING ELECTED TO ONE OF THE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. MEANWHILE, AS ELECTION DAY NEARS, THE POLITICAL STARS OF BOTH PARTIES ARE TAKING TO THE STUMP TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF CANDIDATES THROUGHOUT THE NATION. FOR THE REPUBLICANS, THE MAN WITH THE BIGGEST VOICE IS VICE PRESIDENT AGNEW. TRYING TO COUNTER HIM ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE IS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CHAIRMAN LAWRENCE O'BRIEN. OTHER DEMOCRATIC LEADERS WHO MIGHT ORDINARILY BE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE ARE BUSY WITH CAMPAIGNS OF THEIR OWN. HUBERT HUMPHREY IS SEEKING A SEAT IN THE SENATE: TED KENNEDY, ED MUSKIE AND MIKE MANSFIELD ARE ALL UP FOR RE-ELECTION. --SCOTT, MORTON-- MUCH THE SAME IS TRUE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE. HUGH SCOTT, THE REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER, IS UP FOR RE-ELECTION. EVEN GOP NATIONAL CHAIRMAN ROBERS C.B. MORTON IS LIMITED BY THE FACT THAT HE MUST CAMPAIGN FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE HOUSE. ALTHOUGH SENATOR DOLE HAS NOT INDICATED PUBLICLY THAT This press release is from the collections at the Robert J. Dole Archive and Special Collections, University of Kansas. NANA lASKY -Dofwase contact us with any questions or comments: http://dolearchive.ku.edu/ask THIS IS HIS GOAL, HE IS SPENDING ALL DiE TIME HE CAN MUSTER THIS SUMMER AND FALL HELPING SENATE CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION AND RE- ELECTION. THOSE WHO WIN JUST MAY FEEL AN OBLIGATION. DOLE HAS APPEARED SO FAR FOR EIGHT SENATORIAL CANDIDATES. HE HAS NINE MORE SUCH ENGAGEMENTS AND FOUR FOR REPRESENTATIVES SEEKING RE-ELECTION. IN BETWEEN TIMES ~ HE IS ATTEMPTING TO RAISE MONEY FOR TilE KINDS OF CANDIDATES HE THINKS WILL SUPPORT TilE PRESIDENT MOST OF THE TIME. DOLE PRIDES HIMSELF ON THE AMOUNT OF WORK HE IS DOING ON BEHALF OF TilE PRES I DENT AND THE PARTY. HE IS IRRITATED--AND MAKES NO EFFORT TO HIDE HIS IRRITATION--WITii REPUBLICAN SENATORS SUCH AS MARK HATFIElD OF OREGON, CHARLES PERCY OF ILLINOIS AND EDWARD BROOKE OF MASSACHUSETTS WHO SEEMINGLY PRIDE TiiEMSELVES ON THEIR ABILITY TO DIFFER WITH THE PRESIDENT ON MATTERS OF REAL SIGNIFI- CANCE, SUCH AS NATIONAL DEFENSE, TilE WAR IN VIETNAM AND SUPREME COURT APPOINTEES. DOLE'S TOUGH ATTACKS HAVE LED BROOKE TO COMPlAIN ABOUT HIM TO THE SENATE REPUBLICAN POLICY COMMITTEE AND HATFIElD TO PROTEST PUBLICLY TilE AMOUNT OF RANCOR BEING EVIDENCED BY SOME. HE HAS NOT MENTIONED DOLE, BUT THE IMPLICATION IS CLEAR. --Gur FIGHTER-- Bur DOLE'S BLUNTNESS IN EXPRESSING HIS FEELINGS HAS ALSO WON HIM ADMIRATION AS THE NEWEST OF TilE SENATE'S REAL GUT FIGHTERS. ''HE IS TilE KIND OF A MAN WHO WILL GRAB YOU BY TilE HAIR AND DAAG YOU DCMN TilE HILL," ARE TilE WORDS OF SEN. BARRY GOLIMATER, ONE OF DOLE'S GREATEST ADMIRERS. SEN. J. WILLIAM FULBRIGHT, THE PEACENIK CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE FOREIGN RElATIONS COMMITTEE, HAS TANGLED WITH DOLE TO HIS REGRET. IN SEEKING TO MINIMIZE TilE IMPORTANCE OF TilE GULF OF TONKIN RESO- LUTION, WHICH WAS THE VEHICLE PRESIDENT JOHNSON USED TO EXPAND TilE WAR IN VIETNAM, DOLE INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION TO REPEAL IT--AN ACTION FULBRIGHT ALSO WAS PlANNING FOR EXACTLY TilE OPPOSITE REASON. FULBRIGHT WAS OUTRAGED. "YOU, SIR," HE CHARGED DOLE, ''HAVE STOLEN MY CCM. " This press release is from the collections at the Robert J. Dole Archive and Special Collections, University of Kansas. NANA lASKY -odf.~se contact us with any questions or comments: http://dolearchive.ku.edu/ask 'm, SIR," DOLE REPLIED, "I HAVE ONLY MILKED HER A LITI'LE." THE DOLE WIT IS ALSO BECCMING KN~ ON mE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND IN PARTY CIRCLES IN GENERAL. 'nilS, COMBINED WI'nl HIS YOtrrH--HE IS JUST 46--HIS DAPPER AND DARK GOOD LOOKS, HAS BROUGHT HIM INCREASING NUMBERS OF INVITATIONS TO SPEAK. HE WAS nlE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT FOUR STATE REPUBLICAN CON­ VENTIONS DURING THE SUMMER. A NATIVE KANSAN, DOLE IS ALSO AN AUTHENTIC WAR HERO WITH A CRIPPLED ARM TO SHOW FOR WOUNDS SUFFERED IN ITALY DURING WORLD WAR II. THAT MISHAP, H<MEVER, LOST HIM NONE OF HIS ZEST FOR BATTLE. HE IS A HAWK ON VIETNAM AND A BULLDOG ON JUST ABOtrr ANY O'mER ISSUE tliAT ARISES IN THE SENATE. IT IS THIS RARE C<MBINATION OF TENACITY, Ca.mATIVENESS AND LOYALTY tliAT HAS A'ITRACTED A G~ING NUMBER OF ADMIRERS, INCLUDING PRESIDENT NIXOO. IT IS THAT COMBINATIOO ALSO THAT MANY EXPECT WILL PAY OFF FOR DOLE BOTH IN HIS PARTY AND IN THE SENATE. WI'niOtrr QUESTION, HE IS ONE OF THE YOUNGER REPUBLICANS MOST WORI'H WATCHING.

    48 OREGON WILD A Brief Political History of Oregon’s Wilderness Protections Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the Although the Forest Service pioneered the concept of wilderness protection in the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and trees in public parks. To say 1920s and 1930s, by the late 1940s and 1950s, it was methodically undoing whatever nothing of their values as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all good it had done earlier by declassifying administrative wilderness areas that contained the gardens and parks of town. any commercial timber. —John Muir1 Just prior to the end of its second term, and after receiving over a million public comments in support of protecting national forest roadless areas, the Clinton Administration promulgated a regulation (a.k.a. “the Roadless Rule”) to protect the Inadequacies of Administrative remaining unprotected wildlands (greater than 5,000 acres in size) in the National Forest System from road building and logging. At the time, Clinton’s Forest Service Protections chief Mike Dombeck asked rhetorically: here is “government protection,” and then there is government protection.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM 3778 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON ACTION June 21, 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: HENRY OWEN '6 SUBJECT: Summit Congressional Briefing Last week you discussed US positions at the Tokyo Summit that might involve agreement by the Summit countries on such actions as: a commitment to fixed oil import levels for 1979 and 1980; asking oil companies not to buy or sell at speculative prices in the spot market; commencing international allocation of scarce oil supplies on a voluntary basis; -- a commitment to international financing of commercial scale projects demonstrating new energy technologies, and creating a group to study how this can best be done. None of these actions would require legislation, at least initially, but all would require Congressional support. Stu and I believe that this support is more likely to be forthcoming, when you report on Summit results upon your return, if you have discussed these initiatives with Congressional leaders beforehand. We would propose, if you agree, to invite the following members to a meeting tomorrow: Sen. Howard Baker Sen. Henry Jackson Sen. Lloyd Bentsen Sen. Jacob Javits Sen. Dale Bumpers Sen. J.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960
    The Underestimated Oregon Presidential Primary of 1960 By Monroe Sweetland 0 PresidentJohn E Kennedy on a visit to Astoria, Oregon, in September 1963 This content downloaded from 71.34.78.7 on Mon, 25 May 2020 18:39:50 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms The Friday in Oregon that Made Kennedy President In 1964, Monroe Sweetland, Oregon journalist and legislator and one of thefirst Kennedy organizers in Oregon, wrote this piece about the significance of the 1960 Oregon Primary. Friday, May 20, 1960, was a judgment day which could bring impetus or disaster to the Kennedy-for-President campaign - the Democratic Primary in Oregon. The bandwagon had been rolling well. Each of the six contested primaries - six potential roadblocks - had been cleared. From the beginning in New Hampshire through the rugged battles with Senator Hubert Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, the Democratic voters had thawed and then warmed to John E Kennedy. Just as the Oregon Trail had been bordered long ago with the bleached bones of those who tried but didn't quite make it, Kennedy's campaign craftsmen knew that defeat in Oregon could be decisive. The growing image of Kennedy as "a winner" could be extinguished by a rebuff in Oregon as convention-time neared. Oregon was the last of the seven contested primaries. It was the only primary testing opinion in the Far West - that terra incognita, to the Bostonians, which lay beyond the Farm Belt. To the Kennedy forces Oregon did not look good, but it couldn't be avoided.
