January 2013 House and Senate Name Committee Chairs And January 2013 House and Senate Name Committee Chairs and Members The 113th Congress has convened, and individual committee assignments have been doled out. While many members will be returning to higher education’s key committees, several new names have emerged as well. The House Appropriations Committee will retain its Chairman with Hal Rogers (R-KY), but will have a new Ranking Member with Nita Lowey (D-NY). For the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) will retain her slot as Ranking Member, and Jack Kingston (R-GA) will become the new Chair. For the House Education and Workforce Committee, Representatives John Kline (R-MN) and George Miller (D-CA) will retain their leadership positions as Chairman and Ranking Member. Representatives Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX) will also stay on as Chair and Ranking Member for the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Training. Individual subcommittee member assignments have not yet been made for the Education and Workforce Committee. Leadership on the House Budget Committee will also remain the same with Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) serving as Chairman and Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) serving as Ranking Member. On the Senate side, Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) will take over as Chair of the Appropriations Committee following the passing of Senator Daniel Inouye. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) is expected to take over as the Ranking Member for the Appropriations Committee from Senator Thad Cochran (D-MS), who is term-limited. Subcommittee assignments have not yet been announced, however it is expected that Senator Tom Harkin (D- IA) will remain as Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (L-HHS-ED). The Ranking Member for the L-HHS-ED Subcommittee for the 112th Congress was Senator Shelby. Even though he has moved up to full-committee Ranking Member, he may still retain his slot as Ranking Member on the subcommittee. If he opts not to remain as Ranking Member of the L-HHS-ED Subcommittee, Senator Alexander (R-TN) will likely take over that slot. The Senate Budget Committee will also have a new Chairwoman with Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) taking over for the retiring Kent Conrad (D-ND). Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) will remain as the Ranking Member on Budget. The Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee will keep Senator Tom Harkin (D- IA) as Chair and gain a new Ranking Member with Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN).

    COMPLAINT BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION CBHMISSIOAl INTRODUCTXON - 1 The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ("DSCC") 7-_. J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.

We thank you for your work and support of critical waterways infrastructure investment. Fiscal Year 2016 was a strong, impactful year for waterways funding, and we appreciate your efforts. During the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriations process, we ask for your continued leadership in support of the inland waterways infrastructure. Locks and dams are in a precarious state of disrepair, given most are well beyond their 50-year projected lifespan. From an agricultural users’ perspective, having access to a modern and efficient inland waterways transportation system is vital to the efficient production, marketing and shipment of agricultural products in international commerce. In 2014, 73 percent of the volume of U.S. agricultural exports and 65 percent of imports were transported via our waterways. Having access to competitive barge transportation also helps discipline rates for other modes of transportation—an important factor given current depressed agricultural commodity values. The United States exports nearly one-quarter of the grain it produces. When it comes time to move these crucial commodities to export grain elevators, barges account for the transporting of 61 percent of corn, 42 percent of soybeans, 40 percent of wheat and 26 percent of sorghum.

De Soto was born c.1496/97 in Extramadura, Spain. As a young man, de Soto got his earliest experiences as a conquistador in the West Indies with Pedro Arias Dávila in 1514 and then as chief lieutenant to Francisco Pizarro during his conquest of Peru in 1531. After earning great wealth from trading slaves and amassing the spoils of conquest, de Soto set out to lead his own entrada in La Florida (now the southeastern United States). Known best as the first Europeans to reach and cross the Mississippi River, de Soto and his men were also the first Europeans to explore the interior of what is now the state of Georgia.

As the House and Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittees work to reconcile your positions on funding for FY2016, I urge you to make research and higher education programs a priority. These investments continue to demonstrate a significant return, growing our economy and improving the health and wellbeing of our society. Below, I reiterate APLU’s funding requests for FY2016 in the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill and urge that you prioritize these important programs within your increased allocation. The Department of Energy’s Office of Science is our country’s largest supporter of foundational research in the physical sciences, helping to advance the fundamental science knowledge base and train future scientists. APLU strongly encourages you to fund the Office of Science at $5.34 billion for FY2016, an increase of 5.3 percent over FY2015 levels.

  • Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115Th Congress
    Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115th Congress October Edition 2 Potential House Committee Leaders in the 115th Congress • This deck outlines potential changes to House chairmen and ranking members in the 115th Congress, which convenes in January • Some changes will occur as a result of retirements and election outcomes • Term limits will also force changes on some committees – Republicans can serve three Congresses, or six years total, as chairman and ranking member – Democrats don’t impose term limits • In the following slides, you’ll see: – A breakdown of major committees that could have new leaders after Nov. 8 – The candidates for chairman and ranking member under a slimmer Republican majority – How movement on one committee could mean changes for others 3 Democrats would need a huge wave to retake the house • While Democrats are poised to gain seats, winning the 30 seats needed for a majority is unlikely. 4 Appropriations: Rogers’ term limit creates opportunity for Republicans • Republicans: Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) is term limited and will seek the top spot on the panel’s Defense Subcommittee. He’ll probably be succeeded by current Defense Subcommittee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) or Ag-FDA Subcommittee Chairman Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.). Frelinghuysen Lowey • Democrats: Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) will probably retain her position as ranking member. Other notes: Rogers would face off against Kay Granger • (R-Texas) for the Defense Subcommittee. Aderholt Republican Chairman Ranking Democrat Current Hal Rogers (Ky.)

  • Letter to Kentucky's Congressional
    Letter to Kentucky’s Congressional Delegation on Behalf of Kentucky’s Nonprofits: Act Now on Relief June 1, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Congressman Andy Barr Senator Rand Paul Congressman James Comer Congressman Brett Guthrie Congressman Thomas Massie Congressman Hal Rogers Congressman John Yarmuth Senators McConnell, Paul and Representatives Barr, Comer, Guthrie, Massie, Rogers, Yarmuth: On behalf of the undersigned Kentucky nonprofit organizations, we urge you to act on a bipartisan basis to advance legislation providing relief for the essential needs of Kentuckians and our economy. Thank you for your efforts so far to help sustain our communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonprofit organizations represent 10% of Kentucky’s workforce and your support of our work and the Kentuckians we serve is appreciated. We are writing to share the attached letter Kentucky Nonprofit Network and 44 Lexington organizations submitted to Lexington’s Urban County Council to reiterate the enormous challenge facing (or will soon face) every city and county in Kentucky, as well as the Commonwealth. We need action now to avoid other local governments from copying Lexington’s proposal to completely eliminate government partnerships with nonprofit organizations working to meet community needs and serve our most vulnerable neighbors – especially when citizens need nonprofits the most. This action not only poses a great threat to Lexington, it is a dangerous trend that we must not let play out in other communities across Kentucky. Proposed cuts and well-intentioned, yet ill-conceived “fundraising” campaigns by government officials like we’ve seen in Lexington, create a distraction for nonprofit organizations that they simply cannot afford.

  • A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service
    A Coalition to Protect and Grow National Service Membership Overview About Voices for National Service PARTNERING TO PROTECT AND EXPAND NATIONAL SERVICE Voices for National Service is a coalition of national, state and local service organizations working together to build bipartisan support for national service, develop policies to expand and strengthen service opportunities for all Americans, and to ensure a robust federal investment in the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). Voices for National Service was founded in 2003 in the wake of a successful campaign to save AmeriCorps from sudden and significant proposed cuts. The national service field organized and launched a successful “Save AmeriCorps” campaign that ultimately restored--and in fact increased--federal funding for CNCS and AmeriCorps within one year. Following the successful 2003 Save AmeriCorps campaign, the national service community established Voices for National Service, a permanent field-based coalition dedicated to protecting and growing the federal investment in national service. City Year serves as the organizational and operational host of Voices for National Service and the coalition’s work is guided by a Steering Committee of CEOs of service organizations and leaders of state service commissions. The work of Voices for National Service is made possible through membership dues, philanthropic grants and gifts, and annual support from co- chairs and members of Voices for National Service’s Business Council and Champions Circle.
