June 11, 2021 M-21-26 MEMORANDUM for HEADS of EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS and AGENCIES FROM: Shalanda D. Young Acting Director SUBJECT
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET W ASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 June 11, 2021 M-21-26 MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FROM: Shalanda D. Young Acting Director SUBJECT: Increasing Opportunities for Domestic Sourcing and Reducing the Need for Waivers from Made in America Laws On January 25, 2021, the President signed Executive Order 14005, Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America by All of America’s Workers (the Executive Order). This Executive Order aims to help American businesses compete in strategic industries and ensure America’s workers thrive. It contemplates a series of actions to enable the United States Government to maximize its use of goods, products, and materials produced in, and services offered in, the United States. These actions include, among other things, requiring the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish the Made in America Office (MIAO). The MIAO will provide greater oversight of waivers from Made in America Laws,1 thus increasing consistency and public transparency of such waivers. The Executive Order also directs the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) to consider strengthening applicable Made in America provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The MIAO aims to increase reliance on domestic supply chains and reduce the need for waivers through a strategic process aimed at: achieving consistency across agencies; gathering data to support decision-making to make U.S. supply chains more resilient;2 bringing increased transparency to waivers in order to send clear demand signals to domestic producers; and 1 The Executive Order defines “waiver” to include exceptions and waivers under applicable Made in America Laws. -
Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History
Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Updated February 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45087 Resolutions to Censure the President: Procedure and History Summary Censure is a reprimand adopted by one or both chambers of Congress against a Member of Congress, President, federal judge, or other government official. While Member censure is a disciplinary measure that is sanctioned by the Constitution (Article 1, Section 5), non-Member censure is not. Rather, it is a formal expression or “sense of” one or both houses of Congress. Censure resolutions targeting non-Members have utilized a range of statements to highlight conduct deemed by the resolutions’ sponsors to be inappropriate or unauthorized. Before the Nixon Administration, such resolutions included variations of the words or phrases unconstitutional, usurpation, reproof, and abuse of power. Beginning in 1972, the most clearly “censorious” resolutions have contained the word censure in the text. Resolutions attempting to censure the President are usually simple resolutions. These resolutions are not privileged for consideration in the House or Senate. They are, instead, considered under the regular parliamentary mechanisms used to process “sense of” legislation. Since 1800, Members of the House and Senate have introduced resolutions of censure against at least 12 sitting Presidents. Two additional Presidents received criticism via alternative means (a House committee report and an amendment to a resolution). The clearest instance of a successful presidential censure is Andrew Jackson. The Senate approved a resolution of censure in 1834. On three other occasions, critical resolutions were adopted, but their final language, as amended, obscured the original intention to censure the President. -

Harry S Truman U.S
National Park Service Harry S Truman U.S. Department of the Interior Harry S Truman National Historic Site Truman & Civil Rights Given his background, Harry Truman was an unlikely champion of civil rights. Where he grew up—the border state of Missouri—segregation was accepted and largely unquestioned. Both his maternal and paternal grandparents had even owned slaves. Truman’s background notwithstanding, some would say it was Truman who energized the modern civil rights movement, paving the way for future legislative successes of the 1960s. Truman’s Missouri Roots Harry Truman’s civil rights views as President Truman’s experience as an officer in World War surprised many because they seemed to contradict I and post-war business dealings with a Jewish his upbringing. Truman grew up in a former slave partner also broadened his perspectives.

Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021
6809 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 13 Friday, January 22, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021 The President Building the National Garden of American Heroes By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 13934 of July 3, 2020 (Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes), I made it the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, I established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force) and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. The Task Force has advised me it has completed the first phase of its work and is prepared to move forward. This order revises Executive Order 13934 and provides additional direction for the Task Force. Sec. 2. Purpose. The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. As I announced during my address at Mount Rushmore, the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America’s past will be remembered. The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism. It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America.’’ Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity. -

Another Milwaukee Icon Falls Victim to COVID-19
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 26, 2021 Contact: Rob Hullum, 414-278-4285 Another Milwaukee Icon Falls Victim to COVID-19 MILWAUKEE – Supervisor Joseph J. Czarnezki released the following statement on the closure of Serb Hall: “Like many in Milwaukee – especially those on the Southside – I was saddened by the news that Serb Hall has become the latest business to fall victim to the COVID-19 pandemic. “American Serb Memorial Hall was completed and dedicated in September 1950, in honor of the Serbian Orthodox men who served in the United States Armed Forces. “Over the last seven decades, Serb Hall hosted many political events over the years, from Presidential visits to my own political fundraisers and election night gatherings. “Among the many political figures who have visited Serb Hall are: John and Jackie Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hubert Humphrey, Edmund Muskie, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Jerry Kleczka, Tommy Thompson, John Norquist, Henry Meier, and Clement Zablocki. “Serb Hall was also the home of one of Milwaukee’s most famous fish fries, including my favorite, Serbian fish. I hope the St. Sava community will find a way to continue to provide this Serbian delicacy to the community. “Serb Hall was an important gathering place for Milwaukee’s Serbian community as well as many other community groups and organizations. It will be remembered for its extraordinary hospitality. “I am proud to have represented the people of the St. Sava neighborhood in the State Legislature, as County Clerk and on the County Board.” ### . -

Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’S Note
Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’s Note The following pages include historical artifacts, such as news articles, quotes, and published letters from the 1960s about the events leading up to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. They were originally published as part of the Secretary of State’s 2015-2016 Legislative Manual, or “Blue Book.” As readers will see, the language used and printed fifty years ago to describe the struggles faced by African-Americans and other communities of color is considerably different than today. The Secretary of State’s St. Paul Pioneer Press, March 16, 1965 Office, in consultation with the Saint Paul NAACP, felt it was important for Minnesotans to read these sources of information as they were written in 1965, not only for historical context but so Minnesotans can better understand how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go.
