CONSERVATIVE SURVEY SHOWS MOST CONGRESSMEN PLAN TO OPPOSE PANAMA CANAL TREATY IMPLEMENTATION FUNDS According to a survey of Congressmen conducted by The Conservative Caucus, President Carter faces an uphill fight in winning House backing for more than three billion dollars in aid which Administration officials have promised the Panamanian government, in connection with the treaties concerning the Panama Canal and Zone which were ratified last year by the U.S. Senate. Howard Phillips, National Director of The Conservative Caucus, a 300,000 member non-partisan lobby which has organized grass roots opposition to the canal treaties, reported that, "Of the 144 Congressional offices responding to our survey, 102 indicated that the Congressman was firmly opposed to treaty implementation legislation which would provide payments from the U.S. Treasury to the Panamanian government. By contrast, only 42 Congressmen were willing to express support for either the legislation endorsed by the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee or that proposed by the Carter Administration, both of which would use taxpayer funds to -underwrite the transfer of the Canal and Zone to Panama." "The two contrasting approaches to treaty implementation are embodied in legislation being supported, alternatively, by Idaho Congressman George Hansen (H.R. 1958) and that approved by a 21-17 vote on April 3 in the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee," Phillips said. - more - Page 2 "Under the Hansen bill," Phillips said, "the expense of treaty implementation would be limited to an estimated $744 million to be supplied by Canal users and tollpayers. Taxpayers would bear no direct burden, but would be indirectly affected through increases in consumer prices for goods which pass through the Panama Canal." "On the other hand," Phillips estimated, "the cost of the Committee version would be in excess of three billion dollars, to be derived from roughly $1.8 billion in U.S. Treasury expenditures and more than $1.4 billion in indirect additional costs, resulting from the $744 million increase in tolls and an estimated $724 million operational deficit that will have to be paid in additional toll increases or Treasury expenditures." - 30 - 102 Congressmen who are reported to oppose the use of Federal funds to finance the Panama Canal treaties.

  • The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman Oral History Interview Final Edited
    The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman U.S. Representative of New York (1973–1981) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript March 10, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “I said, ‘The agenda of what we need to do is so huge, we can’t possibly accomplish everything anyway. So let’s just focus on areas that we agree on. And first of all, it will make us stronger if all agree, and all agree to work on them.’ And that’s how we started. And also, it was critical, I think, to get people’s participation, the participation of women. Because I think since it was really early, there had been no caucus, to the best of my knowledge, before that. Women had not worked together. We were concerned about being ridiculed. We were concerned about negative press. We were concerned about how this was going to affect us in our district. I think we—this was a very important step to make people feel politically comfortable in joining with people of different political views. So, I think it worked. From my point of view, it worked.” The Honorable Elizabeth Holtzman March 10, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 48 Abstract Elizabeth (Liz) Holtzman pulled off a major upset when she defeated longtime Representative and Judiciary Committee Chairman, Emanuel Celler, to win a seat in the 93rd Congress (1973–1975). The youngest woman ever elected to Congress at the time (31)—a record that would stand for more than four decades—Holtzman’s grassroots campaign in her New York City district centered on her opposition to the Vietnam War.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

    Hon. Elizabeth Holtzman Counsel; Co-Chair, Government Relations Group [email protected] (212) 592-1421 PHONE (212) 545-3339 FAX Elizabeth Holtzman handles government relations at the federal, state and local levels. She also focuses on litigation. Liz joined Herrick after more than 22 years in government, including 20 as an elected official. During her four terms as a U.S. Congresswoman, she captured national attention for her role on the House Judiciary Committee where she voted to impeach President Richard Nixon, and questioned President Ford about the Nixon pardon; chaired the Immigration and Refugees Subcommittee (where she co-authored with Senator Ted Kennedy the Refugee Act of 1980); co-founded the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues; and wrote many laws, including extending the deadline for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment and the Rape Privacy Act. She was the first member of Congress to expose the U.S. government’s inaction on Nazi war criminals living in America and spearheaded the effort to bring them to justice. When elected, she was the youngest woman to be elected to Congress, a record she held for 42 years. Liz subsequently became the first woman elected District Attorney in New York City, serving eight years as DA of Kings County (Brooklyn), where she argued successfully before the U.S. Supreme Court, and pioneered new strategies for the prosecution of sexual assault and environmental crimes. She also led the effort to end the practice of using peremptory challenges to remove African-Americans from juries because of their race. Liz was also the first and only woman to be elected Comptroller of New York City.
