The interview is taking place on December 6, 2019, in Silver Spring, Maryland. The interviewer is Molly Graham. We’ll start at the beginning. Could you say when and where you born? Linda Lawhorn-Brown: I was born in Ridgeway, South Carolina, on May 23, 1958. I’m sixty- one years old. MG: Can you tell me about your family history and how they came to settle in that area? LLB: Both parents are from two small towns that are about six miles apart in South Carolina. We ended up in D.C. because my mom moved here for better work opportunities in the early ’70s. She liked it here. We had other relatives that had already moved here, and she liked the area. So we came to live here. MG: Can you describe the town that you grew up in? LLB: It’s a very small town, and still is. Everybody knows everybody. So you drive down the road, everybody’s waving. [laughter] When I first took my husband there for a visit, he asked, “Do you know everybody here?” I said, “No, it’s just the way people are in the South.” I’m sure you may have heard that people are very hospitable in the South, and they really are.

  • Biden Administration and 117Th Congress
    Updated January 15, 2021 1 Executive office of the President (EOP) The Executive Office of the President (EOP) comprises the offices and agencies that support the work of the president at the center of the executive branch of the United States federal government. To provide the President with the support that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) was created in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The EOP has responsibility for tasks ranging from communicating the President’s message to the American people to promoting our trade interests abroad. The EOP is also referred to as a 'permanent government', with many policy programs, and the people who implement them, continuing between presidential administrations. This is because there is a need for qualified, knowledgeable civil servants in each office or agency to inform new politicians. With the increase in technological and global advancement, the size of the White House staff has increased to include an array of policy experts to effectively address various fields. There are about 4,000 positions in the EOP, most of which do not require confirmation from the U.S. Senate. Senior staff within the Executive Office of the President have the title Assistant to the President, second-level staff have the title Deputy Assistant to the President, and third-level staff have the title Special Assistant to the President. The core White House staff appointments, and most Executive Office officials generally, are not required to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, although there are a handful of exceptions (e.g., the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Chair and members of the Council of Economic Advisers, and the United States Trade Representative).

  • Deception -Online Book
    Copyright © Pine Lake Media Group 2004 1 INTRODUCTION There are those who claim that the Clinton administration only lied to the world about sex. The claims are wrong because I was a witness to the smashing of the biggest lie, the arming of communist China. I am not a lawyer but I have won three out of four cases brought before a Federal Court. The wins were against the best lawyers that the government could buy. The victories also came at a cost, not to me, but to the credibility of the U.S. government and the Clinton presidency. The first and most damaging lie that the Clinton lawyers made was that a Chinese commissioner, named Shen, was a civilian representative of the communist government, and not a member of the People’s Liberation Army. This claim, and the accompanying claim of personal and business privacy, was made before a Federal Judge. The claim was part of an elaborate effort to deny access to over 1,000 pages of information dealing with Shen and his so-called civilian organization, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND). When the Clinton lawyers finished I, in turn, dropped a complete bio of General Shen on the desk of Federal Judge Robert Payne. The dossier on General Shen included his current military status and details about COSTIND the military unit he was in. Shen was not only second in charge of COSTIND but the unit itself is run entirely by and for the Chinese Army under the command of General Ding Henggao.
