  • 9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy—A Model for Congressional Oversight?
    9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy—A Model for Congressional Oversight? October 19, 2004 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32538 9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy Summary In its July 22, 2004, final report, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the “9/11 Commission”) proposed a five-part plan to build unity of effort across the U.S. government in fighting terrorism. The commission’s report includes specific recommendations for “centralizing and strengthening congressional oversight of intelligence and homeland security issues” including a recommendation that Congress consider creating a joint committee for intelligence, using the Joint Atomic Energy Committee as its model. Created in the wake of the explosion of the first atomic weapon in the summer of 1945, the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy (JCAE 1946-1977) has been described as one of the most powerful congressional committees in history. Congress gave the JCAE exclusive jurisdiction over “all bills, resolutions, and other matters” relating to civilian and military aspects of nuclear power, and made it the only permanent joint committee in modern times to have legislative authority. The panel coupled these legislative powers with exclusive access to the information upon which its highly secretive deliberations were based. As overseer of the Atomic Energy Commission, the joint committee was also entitled by statute to be kept “fully and currently informed” of all commission activities and vigorously exercised that statutory right, demanding information and attention from the executive branch in a fashion that arguably has no equivalent today.

  • John D Lane Presidential Politics
    "John D. Lane: Administrative Assistant to Senator Brien McMahon,” Oral History Interviews, October 12 and December 6, 2006, Senate Historical Office, Washington, D.C. PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS Interview #2 December 6, 2006 LANE: On the [General Douglas] MacArthur hearings—those hearings were very important because he was becoming a full-fledged candidate for president and was being backed by much of the right wing of the Republican party, and various influential newspapers. Newspapers in those days were so much more important in politics than they are today. I forgot to tell you that when McMahon used to travel around Connecticut, getting ready to campaign ahead of time, when we would go into a city he would always call on and chat with the political leaders. He would also visit the local newspaper and talk to the editor. Then he would do his thing at whatever the public gathering was, and then leave and go to the next town. But it was a regular practice that he would always call on the editor or publisher of the newspaper. As a result, he received a very good press, and most of the press was Republican in Connecticut, every one of the major papers was, except for the Hartford Times. RITCHIE: But they took him seriously. LANE: Yes, they took him seriously because he talked about serious matters. RITCHIE: His issues weren’t necessarily partisan. Nuclear policy wasn’t a partisan issues, and foreign policy at that point was bipartisan. LANE: To some extent. But Robert Taft was the Republican leader on foreign policy.

  • Tom Dodd's Nuremberg
    Tom Dodd’s Nuremberg John Q. Barrett* Copyright © 2007 by John Q. Barrett. All rights reserved. When Justice Jackson was appointed in April 1945 to prosecute top Axis leaders, he inherited a small number of attorneys in the War Department, including the Judge Advocate General’s Department, who had been preparing for prosecutions of war criminals. Jackson added to this staff some trusted former Department of Justice colleagues, a few attorneys in private practice, a leading criminal prosecutor from Brooklyn and, as executive assistant, his twenty-five year old son, William Eldred Jackson. (Bill was concerned about an appearance of nepotism, but his father waved the thought away, writing to Bill’s mother-in-law, “Whose son would you expect me to hire?”) As a staff that was preparing to prosecute the most novel, prominent criminal case in history, it was light on prosecutorial experience. * * * Thomas Joseph Dodd, Jr., born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1907, graduated from Providence College and then Yale Law School. He became a FBI Special Agent and pursued John Dillinger, his gangster-physician “Doc” May and “Baby Face” Nelson, among others. In 1935, Dodd joined the New Deal, becoming Connecticut State Director of the National Youth Administration. In 1938, Tom Dodd was recruited to Washington to become special assistant to U.S. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, a Connecticut native and Yale man who had mentored Dodd and encouraged his FBI and NYA stints. Over the next seven years, Tom Dodd was nominally a special assistant to five consecutive Attorneys General of the United States: * Professor of Law, St.

  • Francis V. Du Pont in Context
    Before the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Francis V. Du Pont In Context By Richard F. Weingroff It’s never a good idea to take over for a legend. You just might some day be as forgotten as Commissioner of Public Roads Francis V. (Frank) du Pont is today. He had the dubious distinction of following a legend on April 1, 1953, when he replaced Commissioner of Public Roads Thomas H. MacDonald. MacDonald had headed the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) since March 1919 through a series of title and agency name changes. Throughout the highway community nationally and internationally, MacDonald was recognized as the greatest figure of his era. He was widely respected in Congress, especially in the public works committees and roads subcommittees, and had been retained after he hit the mandatory retirement age of 70 by President Harry S. Truman to avoid disruption during the Korean War. In 1919, his title was Chief of BPR. That became his nickname. Those who knew him called him the Chief or Mr. MacDonald. Anyone calling him “Tom” or “Thomas” clearly did not know him well.1 Two months after the start of the Eisenhower Administration, MacDonald retired on March 31. Actually, he was fired because the new Administration wanted control of the Federal-aid highway program and its funding (about half the Commerce Department’s budget). That would not be possible if MacDonald remained in office in view of his stature and relationship with congressional leaders. On April 1, 1953, he looked on as Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks administered the oath of office to the new Commissioner of Public Roads, Francis V.
