The Honorable John Marshall Butler United States Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce Washington 25, D. C. Dear Senator Butler: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 24, 1957 enclosing a copy of a letter received by you from Mr. L. P. Hubbard of Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Hubbard suggests that corporations be required to make available to a central committee of its stockholders a list of all stockholders in order that they may arrange regional meetings to discuss matters of common interest and to send delegates to a national committee with instructions to attend annual meetings and vote their proxies for them. As you know some of the States have laws which require corporations to make a list of stockholders available for inspection by stockholders. Rule X-14A-7 of the Commission’s proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires listed companies which intend to solicit proxies either to furnish stockholders, upon request, a reasonably current list of stockholders or to mail for such stockholders any proxy material which they may wish to transmit to other stockholders. In some cases, corporations will elect to mail the material in lieu of furnishing a list of stockholders and in other cases they will elect to turn over to the stockholders a list of stockholders. In addition to the above requirement, Rule X-14A-8 of the proxy rules requires an issuer to include in its proxy material proposals which are proper matters for stockholder action and which a stockholder wishes to submit to a vote of his fellow stockholders.

U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.

ON RPl 'S "FROM THE PEOPLE" Reveals Some Big-Businessmen Will Cross Over From G.O.P. To Vote For Lyndon Johnson WASHINGTON, D.c., August 3 -- Endorsement for Senator Hubert Humphrey (D- Minn.) as "the best" choice for the second slot on the Democratic ticket this November came last night from Senator William Proxmire (D-Wis.). The Wisconsin Senator cited Mr. Humphrey's "superlative understanding of international affairs" on Radio Press International~ "From the People" radio program. Although he also singled out Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy as being "very well qualified'' for the Vice Presidential post, he noted that "my own inclination is to say that Senator Humphrey is the best" choice at this time. "I think /senator Humphrey/ would be an exciting President as well as a fine Vice President," Mr. Proxmire declared. "We've rarely had a Senator who would have such a masterful appreciation and understanding and eloquence in so many different fields/as Mr. Humphrez7," he asserted. --MORE -2- Without mentioning names, Mr. Proxmire revealed that "a number of Senators have told me that in their states ••• tbere are a number of prominent, very responsible and sensitive big-businessmen who are coming over to vote for Lyndon Johnson." He said this "is especially true ••• in the South." "It's very conceivable that a state like Wisconsin which has gone Republican quite steadily and consistently and has not gone Democratic in a Presidential electiou since 1948 will go Republican this year and go for Goldwater,"Senator Proxmire pointed out.
CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Leonard Ballard Inspector, United States Capitol Police (1947-1984)

Leonard Ballard Inspector, United States Capitol Police (1947-1984) Preface by Richard A. Baker Leonard H. Ballard's 37-year-career with the United States Capitol Police Force spanned an era of profound change for that organization as well as for the body it serves -- the Congress of the United States. The interviews in this volume provide an insider's account of the dimensions of that change. Colorfully and candidly, Ballard recalls the newsmaking events and personalities with which he was associated over the course of four decades. They include inaugurations, state funerals, Capitol bombings, terrorist attacks, and protest demonstrations. When he joined the force on May 16, 1947, the police rolls carried the names of 157 men. Of that number, Ballard observes in these interviews, "there were only about 100 of them working. About 50 never came to town." He explained, "Now, I know a lieutenant who was a lieutenant for 18 years. I saw him twice. He operated a restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi. He was under Senator Jim Eastland. He came up here a couple of times and brought us some shrimp!" Among the remaining 100 who were present for duty in 1947, most were either college students or retired policemen from other jurisdictions supplementing their pensions. Serving a Capitol Hill population of 2,000, the department in that postwar era conveyed an image perhaps not unlike that of its predecessor in the years after the Civil War. One observer described the Capitol Police of 1869 as "thirty-three bored, yawning, inexpressibly idle men about the Capitol." That image had vanished by the time Ballard completed his service on May 16, 1984 -- exactly exactly thirty-seven years from the day of his arrival.
Spong Family History

MATHIAS SPONG FAMILY HISTORY Including the Research of Cindy Spong Written by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer REVISED SEPTEMBER 2016 1 2 PREFACE This family history was started to provide more information about this family than the horrible accident that occurred in 1916 which resulted in the scalding and death of three Spong children. Who knew it would also include the assassination of a park superintendent and a suicide. Apparently there were several Spong families, relationship not known. This family history concentrates on those living along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, primarily in Sharpsburg, Washington County, Md. and at Lock No. 8, Montgomery County, Md. A great deal of the early, e.g. 1766-1800, Spong family history comes from a letter written by Ada Y. Regenos, deceased on June 19, 1982, to Mr. John C. Frye, at Washington County Regional Library who generously permitted the author to copy the letter and its enclosures for this report. The census reports Marietta Spong while her obituary and tombstone use Mary Etta Spong. The census reports use Tenna B. Spong while her obituary and tombstone use Tena B. Spong. Since we have no authorization to correct the census, newspaper reports or other references, we will quote exactly in the following text and use the tombstone spelling in the table of family statistics at the back of this report. The same situation exists for dates, particularly birth dates. When a name or date is, in fact, etched in stone, i.e. a tombstone, we will highlight that data in blue in the table of family statistics.
