Lear Center director Martin Kaplan confers with Congresswoman Diane Watson before the hearing. 3 Congressional Entertainment Caucus Hearing Martin Kaplan: If anyone was betting against an on-time start, I'm afraid you've lost that bet. We're going to begin, and as a consequence of starting on time and staying on time, we're going to be going with the flow. So comings and goings will be part of the morning. Good morning to everybody. My name is Marty Kaplan. I'm the associate dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication, and I'm also the director of the Norman Lear Center, which studies the impact of entertainment on society. The Lear Center is honored to be a co-convener of this event. I'd like, in particular, to thank someone who had the original idea of a Congressional Entertainment Caucus. When you think about it now, it makes such sense, but it didn't used to be. It took the leadership of the chair of the Caucus, and so I'm particularly pleased to thank her for her leadership and to salute her, please join me in welcoming Congresswoman Diane Watson. There are many speakers, as I mentioned, who will be joining us at various times, and I will introduce them as they arrive, and I ask your indulgence as we do a little hopscotch with the agenda to accommodate the changing schedules of those here. Lear Center director Martin Before we begin, I wanted to have a chance to introduce some of the other people Kaplan welcomes who are here, and, in particular, on the dais, representing the L.A. city council district the audience. no. 8, and I say with a touch of chauvinism, the holder of a degree from USC, city council member Bernard Parks. And we also have in the room some other guests, and as the morning moves along, as I said, I'll have a chance to introduce them. Let me start by introducing one of the other elected officials here today, the vice mayor of Culver City, Steve Rose. Before we begin the panels, and before we interrupt the panels, I will say please turn off your cell phones. Thank you for that cue. And I'd like to ask some of those who are already here on the dais to offer a few remarks, and I'd like to start by asking Congresswoman Diane Watson. Diane Watson: Good morning. Come on now. You can do better than that. Good morning. All righty! We're going to wake you up today. I first want to say to Marty Kaplan, we so much appreciate all the work you have done in helping us convene the first Congressional Entertainment Caucus hearing outside of Washington, D.C. And as you know, he is the director of The Norman Lear Center, and I want to send my thanks to Norm and to you. We have worked together over the years. I've not seen him in the last few years, but we appreciate all he does, too. I think many of you are aware that the great 33rd district has in it its starship, USC. It also has at the other end, Hollywood. And over the years, as you know, we have been very much involved with what Hollywood exports around the globe. And now that I am representing it, I thought it would be important to work together with the industry to improve our communications and to plan together so that this $500 billion industry annually can thrive. When the industry thrives, we all thrive. I'm proud to represent Sony Pictures, Capital Records, Raleigh Studios, and some of the other smaller studios within this 33rd District. At a time when the jobless rate is over two million, we want to be sure that we can bolster, in whatever way we can through Congresswoman government, the industry because they employ masses of people. Diane Watson opens the proceedings. Today's forum is representing a culmination of a series of events and hearing sessions hosted by the Congressional Entertainment Caucus over the past half year. We have 38 members who have signed on. You know, they're fascinated when you talk about the entertainment industry in Hollywood. However, this is busy season for all of us. 4 Congressional Entertainment Caucus Hearing This is a month that we have out to work our districts, work in our districts, to travel throughout the world, and so many of them are not able to come. They send their regards. They are loyal members, and they're in Washington, D.C., and so we will move on with whoever's able to pull away some time to come. And in strengthening the communication between Capitol Hill and the entertainment community, it is in all of our best interest, and we're using this as a vehicle to disseminate and to exchange information from the seat of government to the industry. And as I mentioned, the Caucus now has 38 non-partisan members from across the country. It's sponsored many briefings and events on Capitol Hill for the past several months, and the topics of our Congressional briefings range from intellectual property rights protection in a global market to domestic law enforcement efforts to combat digital piracy, to the FCC media cross-ownership rules, and to the bilateral free trade agreements with Singapore and Chile. This fall, we plan to focus on several other issues, including runaway productions, artists' rights and empowerment, and minority representation in the entertainment sector. I also am concerned about the images of America and America society abroad. What kind of perceptions do we export, and are these perceptions doing this country harm, or are they doing us good? And it's a timely subject with what is happening in this period of time. And so the Caucus has worked with various leaders in the entertainment community, including the Motion Picture Association of America, the Writers Guild, the Interactive Digital Software Association, AOL/Time Warner, Sony Pictures Studio, Universal Studios, to just name a few. And so I'm so pleased that several of the representatives from the industry are our panelists today, and we're going to look forward to hearing from them in just a second and a continued relationship with them. The panel today has been divided into four topics that are reflective of key issues of concern that have been brought to us by the industry itself, and they include runaway productions, intellectual property piracy, the FCC ruling, and independent productions. Because of the many new digital technologies there are serious questions and there are serious concerns related, and we see the erosion of intellectual property rights in the entertainment sector. This has been happening domestically but very seriously abroad, where countries like Russia and Taiwan have become major hubs of international piracy networks.

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).

  • Media Release Latinas Lead California Endorses Loretta
    Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 22, 2016 CONTACT: Press Office 714-774-0236 Latinas Lead California Endorses Loretta Sanchez for the U.S. Senate LOS ANGELES, CA – Today, Latinas Lead California endorsed Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for the United States Senate. The organization cited her 20 years of fighting for policies that support and strengthen women and families on issues including healthcare, gender equality, pay equity, reproductive rights and service in the military. “Loretta Sanchez has a proven track record of fighting for our communities and advocating for the rights of women and families in Congress. She has been a pioneer of Latina leadership both in our state and nation. We are proud to stand with Loretta in her bid to represent our state and be the first Latina elected to the U.S. Senate," stated Latinas Lead California. “I’m honored to have the support of Latinas Lead California,” said Rep. Loretta Sanchez. “As California’s next United States Senator, I will continue to empower women and fight for gender equality in education, workplace and the military. I will make access to education and equal pay for equal work for women a priority because we must end the inequality that women still face in the workplace.” Rep. Sanchez has been a member of the Congressional Women’s Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus for 20 years and has partnered with her colleagues to successfully pass legislation that supports women. She was a co-sponsor of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair pay Act, which restores the ability for women to use the judicial system to seek redress when facing pay discrimination.

  • Federal Funding: Everybody Wants Some!
    Federal funding: everybody wants some! BY STEVE HYMON , OCTOBER 20, 2009 With Metro’s long-range plan (http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2009/10_October/20091014P&PItem10.pdf) scheduled for a vote Thursday, things around One Gateway Plaza are starting to heat up. Case in point: A letter from 14 members of Congress (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/images/fedLetter102009.pdf) landed in the building Tuesday morning requesting that the Board of Directors seek federal money for three additional projects: The Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair, the Crenshaw Corridor project (likely to be a light rail line) and the Eastside Gold Line Extension, which will travel from East L.A. to either South El Monte or Whittier. The letter comes about a month after the Board voted unanimously to request federal funding (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/Metro_152.htm) for two projects — the subway extension on the Westside and the downtown regional connector, the two planned lines expected to have very high ridership. The Congress members in their letter say that federal money for the subway and regional connector could take several years to flow, so it would make sense in the meantime to try to secure money for other projects. “The Gold Line Foothill Extension project, Azusa to Montclair, is developed enough to be ready for Federal New Starts funds in the years before the Westside Subway Extension and the Regional Connector Transit Corridor,” write the Congress members. The long-range plan due for a vote on Thursday has the subway opening to Fairfax in 2019, the same year the downtown connector would open.
