    SUMMER 2010 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean WE SHOUld All BE VERY prOUD OF OUR LAW SCHOOL. For decades it has been graduating hundreds of outstanding lawyers who have gone on to become not only great leaders in the legal profession, but great leaders in government and business. Just in the State of Indiana, over half the licensed lawyers are our graduates, as are over 40% of the judges, at least 78 corporate or non-profit CEOs, and numerous legislators and government officials. Yet despite the enormous contributions that the law school and its alumni make to our state and nation, for too long it has operated largely unrecognized and often underappreciated. If the law school is to receive the recognition and support essential to its ability to continue being the great asset it has always been to Indiana and beyond, it must not be the best kept secret in American legal education. It is time that the school not only do an outstanding job of attracting and educating top legal talent, but that it also do an outstanding job of letting the world know it. In the past couple of years, we have undertaken to raise the profile and reputation of the law school in various ways. One way has been to bring to the school prominent speakers and events that will make Hoosiers and others around the country take notice of the quality and respect this school has. One such speaker is featured in this issue—Chief Justice John G.

    1234 Massachusetts Avenue, NW • Suite 103 • Washington, DC 20005 • 202-347-1234 #100-33 Information Alert: October 11, 1988 Medicaid Reform House Hearing TO: DD Council Executive Directors FROM: Susan Ames-Zierman On September 30, 1988, Congressman Henry Waxroan held a hearing on his bill, H.R.5233, and that of Congressman Florio, H.R. 3454, which is the House companion bill to Senator Chafee's S. 1673, the Medicaid Home and Community Quality Services Act. Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.
