Senator Jennings Randolph telephoned me today and asked me to give you a message before your speech. The Senator said that no navigator has ever dis­ tinguished himself on calm seas. He said you are passing through rough and troubled waters. However, he is confident that you know how and will keep a steady hand on the rudder.

Jimmy Carter President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: Your speech of-July 15 was indeed sobering. I believe you are correct in your analysis of the current crisis of spirit in America, and its effect on our people's behavior and attitudes. I have noticed just such symptoms in my own friends. However, I have hope, too. As a recent graduate engineer from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I know that we have the technical ability to solve the energy shortage. And I want y�u to know that I support_,y_�.r_energy_gr:Q.grafT!,._9n8__.1b_at I !J. · suppor, ou. · y,._.,_� In my opinion, the most obv'ious method to drastically increase fuel conservation is to immediately enforce the adoption of more fuel efficient engines by the American automotive industry. Mr. Moody in Florida recently proved with much publicity that an automobile getting ·80 t�PG is entirely possible. This is about four times the average mileage of American cars! Legislation must be passed to require the automotive companies to adopt more fuel efficient engines. Heavy fines must be levied for noncompliance, to provide the necessary economic incentive. The present mileage requirements as mandated by Congress are simply not sufficient. lt is possible, Mr Presideot. Ple�£ider including my suggestion in your energy program.

Dear Mr. President: I listened with great interest to your address to the nation Sunday evening, however, I \'las wondering during your pre-SerrfaiTon--;-ti'OWiliucn-the average citizen would identify \'lith the problem without some re-inforcement. As a matter of suggestion, I think it would be possible,<.cwith::volunteer assistance, to convince American citizens as to the urgency of the program, as they hear what their peers are doing to assist. I think that I am doing my part to conserve energy and have a positive approach in my attitude about the United States. However, I am also quite sure that \'lays could be pointed out on how I can do a better job, and yet not degrade my standard of living, which I believe �s pretty good. As a s-tudent of Political Scienc_e and a worker within the system, ( I am \vorking on a tviPA degree and work as a deputy sheriff) I can see where your points and suggestions are well taken. However, after talking to some of my fellow ci tizens, I can also see that they missed the points you brought out. I ·would be more than wiiling to·· assist in any way that I can within reason, ie volunteer my assistance. I also pealize that this letter will be one of many thousands you will receive in regards to your address. However, I realize that the chances of you personally reading this letter will also be slight, yet my intensions are sincere and hope that my suggestion will be considered \'lorthwile. You have my support in this urgent effort. Yours truly, -- ·y / / �'�/71 ./?Uc_;./h.J� Norman H.

The Senate has 27 members — 3 for each of the country's 9 departments. The Chamber of Deputies has 117 members. All parliamentarians are elected for 4 years. Electoral System All Bolivian citizens who are at least 21 years of age (or 18, if they are married) are entitled to vote. A Deputy must be a Bolivian by birth who is at least 25 years of age, has fulfilled his military obligation, is literate, has not been condemned to corporal punish­ ment and has no charges or writs of execution pending against him; the age requirement for being Senator is 35. The office of member of Congress is incompatible with that of Minister, diplomatic agent, civil servant or employee, military or police officer on active duty, contractor for public works or services, and official of a State-related company or enterprise; certain ecclesiastics may also not simultaneously be members. Candidates for Congress are nominated by political parties or certain legally- established citizens' groups affiliated to such parties. Deputies and Senators are elected by direct and universal suffrage. General Political Considerations and Conduct of the Elections The bicameral National Congress provided for under the 1967 Constitution was dissolved in 1969, and no national legislature thereafter existed.

You now have a program. We designed this Historical Handbook of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Leaders as a useful reference work for anyone who needs fundamental information on the leaders of the NGA. We have included those colleagues over the years who directed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the component agencies and services that came together to initiate NGA-NIMA history in 1996. The NGA History Program Staff did not celebrate these individuals in this setting, although in reading any of these short biographies you will quickly realize that we have much to celebrate. Rather, this practical book is designed to permit anyone to reach back for leadership information to satisfy any personal or professional requirement from analysis, to heritage, to speechwriting, to retirement ceremonies, to report composition, and on into an endless array of possible tasks that need support in this way. We also intend to use this book to inform the public, especially young people and students, about the nature of the people who brought NGA to its present state of expertise.
