Separate Interests to National Agendas Hispanic-American Members of Congress in the Civil Rights Era, 1945–1977
Separate Interests to National Agendas hispanic-american members of congress in the civil rights era, 1945–1977 In June 1952 two long-running but often dissimilar paths of Hispanic-American congressional history converged, if only for a moment. At issue was the transformation of Puerto Rico from a colonial territory to a U.S. commonwealth. Under Puerto Rico’s proposed constitution, the island’s new government, the Estado Libre Asociado (Free Associated State or ELA), would be linked to the U.S. mainland by matters involving foreign affairs, but its authority to govern locally would be enhanced. Congress initially approved the concept, but quickly split over a constitutional human rights provision that had wide support among the Puerto Rican people. In the U.S. Senate, one faction sought to establish Congress’s ability to approve or reject amendments to the island’s constitution, essentially stripping Puerto Ricans of sovereignty.1 One such advocate bluntly argued that Congress essentially had the option to “give them a constitution or not give it to them.” Dennis Chavez of New Mexico, on the other hand—often that chamber’s lone proponent for boosting Hispanic civil rights—pushed back: “The Puerto Ricans did not ask us to take [their political rights]; we took them,” he said. In areas of the world where the U.S. was then working to contain the spread of communism, including in the Caribbean Basin, Chavez noted that America’s efforts would be aided by treating Puerto Ricans with more equanimity.2 Chavez’s intervention in the debate foreshadowed an important trend in this era—the increasing cooperation among advocates for Hispanic issues on a national scale. -

As agreed with your office, we obtained oral comments from Puerto Rican government and key political party officials on a draft of this report. We are sending copies of this report to the Governor of Puerto Rico, the Resident Commissioner, members of the Puerto Rico legisla- ture, the leaders of the three major political parties in Puerto Rico, as well as appropriate congressional committees and Members of Congress. -

OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

Another Tale of Two Cities: a Summary of the Lessons Learned
Another Tale of Two Cities: A Summary of the Lessons Learned What Two Capital City, University Towns Can Learn From Each Other Andy Redman May 2004 The Ray Marshall Center prepared this report with funds provided from Louisiana State University and LUBA Workers’ Comp. The views expressed in this report are the author’s and do not represent the positions of Louisiana State University, LUBA Workers’ Comp, or The University of Texas at Austin. FOREWORD Students at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs are required to conduct original research and write a professional report under the supervision of at least two faculty readers in order to receive their Masters in Public Affairs degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past three decades, hundreds of LBJ School students have done so, a number of them under my supervision, in whole or in part, while working at the Ray Marshall Center for the Study of Human Resources, a research center of the School. This report and its author, Andy Redman, are a part of this tradition, but they are also distinctive in a number of respects. First, Andy decided that he could only tackle the PR if he felt it had the potential for affecting policy and practice in some meaningful way. He wanted it to make a difference, now if possible. He wanted to help his hometown get on a path to a brighter economic future. Second, Andy chose to pursue outside funding for his research from those who would be most likely to make use of its findings, namely LUBA Workers Comp and Louisiana State University. -
