  • Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968
    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

Kirkendall Pacific Northwest Quarterly 85:4 (Oct. 1994), p. 137­149 This Boeing bomber embodies the transition to jet aircraft and the dependence on military that characterized company operations during the years following World War II. (Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries, Negative #10703. Photo by Boeing Company) The years of Harry Truman's presidency were crucial to the success of the Boeing Airplane Company. The president himself did not have close ties with the firm or great confidence in air power, but one part of the American state­­ the air force­­recognized Boeing's ability to serve air force interests and was in a stronger position than ever before to pursue those interests. Furthermore, the company now had another ally willing to enter the political arena on its behalf. This was Seattle. The people there had a new commitment to Boeing. Taking advantage of cold war fears, air force leaders lobbied for funds to be spent on bombers, and Seattle people worked to draw that money to their city by way of Boeing. As a consequence of the successes of these two groups in the Truman years, the company acquired the resources it needed to become the world leader in building commercial jets. In battling for Boeing, Seattle participated in what President Dwight D. Eisenhower later called the "military­ industrial complex." A historian, Roger Lotchin, recently proposed "metropolitan­military complex" as a substitute for Eisenhower's term.

  • The Magnuson-Stevens Act a Bipartisan Legacy of Success
    The Magnuson-Stevens Act A Bipartisan Legacy of Success Since 1976, when what is now called the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) was first signed into law, Republicans and Democrats have agreed that conserving America’s ocean fish makes good economic and environmental sense. Today, Congress should continue this tradition of bipartisan support for the MSA and preserve its legacy of success by opposing any efforts to weaken the law. Over the years, Congress has recognized the value of protecting ocean fish resources from overfishing (taking fish faster than they can reproduce) by providing managers with the legal tools to sustainably manage our nation’s ocean fisheries. Through Photo: Associated Press multiple reauthorizations, Congress President George W. Bush signs the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation strengthened the MSA by mandating an end and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006, joined by Sen.

  • Seattle Trademark History Tour
    HISTO RK RY A TO M U E R D A O F R T Visit Foley Hoag’s Trademark & Copyright Law blog at trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com foleyhoag.com SEATTLE TRADEMARK HISTORY TOUR This year, the great city of Seattle, Washington is the location of both the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting (May 19-23) and the American Intellectual Property Law Association Spring Meeting (May 15-17). If you are one of the many lawyers attending these events and you want a Seattle trademark experience, you could do the obvious and visit locations associated with the city’s famous modern brands. Alternatively, you could go back in time a bit further. Washington became the 42nd state in 1889, the same year the Great Seattle Fire destroyed much of the city. A combination of new railroad lines and post-fire construction led to a boom in population and commercial activity. On July 17, 1897, this already-promising economic climate went into hyper-drive when the S.S. Portland arrived from Alaska, heralding the beginning of the Klondike gold rush. The trademark disputes that arose from this economic activity started working their way into the published opinions of the Ninth Circuit and the newly christened Washington Supreme Court in the first decades of the twentieth century. We took a look at the first ten trademark disputes involving the city of Seattle (which date from the turn of the century up to the start of World War I). To our delight, we found them riddled with connections to celebrities, shootouts, world politics and the multicultural fabric of migration in the American west.

  • Washington Women No Strangers to Public Office by David Jepsen, Edited by Abby Rhinehart
    Washington Women No Strangers to Public Office by David Jepsen, edited by Abby Rhinehart Washington state has a long tradition of voting women into public office. Washington was the fifth state to grant women the vote in 1910. Since then, women have served in many political positions in Washington. The political history of Washington is full of stories of important elected women. Bertha Knight Landes was elected mayor of Seattle in 1926. She was the first woman to lead a major American city. She promised to clean up city government. Her term ended in 1928, but she remained a civic leader and role model for women. Julia Butler Hansen was the state senator from Cathlamet from 1939 to 1960. Hansen led efforts to construct Interstate-5 and many other highways. "No one represented her people better than [Hansen]," said Washington Senator Warren Magnuson. Ruby Chow was the first Asian American woman elected to the King County Council in 1973. Chow was the owner of Seattle's first upscale Chinese restaurant, Ruby Chow's. The popularity of Asian food in the Northwest took off because of Ruby Chow's in the 1960s. Chow became a tireless activist for the people of Seattle's International District. She served four terms on the county council. In 1976, Dixy Lee Ray was the first woman governor of Washington. Born in Tacoma, Ray was a professor of marine biology at the University of Washington. Before her term in the governor's office, Ray was director of the Pacific Science Center. Jennifer Dunn was the first woman to lead the Washington State Republican Party.

The Twenty- Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "[nlo person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."2 Although a twice-elected President may not again be "elected" to that Office, there are a number of circumstances in which such a person may still "serve" as President. We examine these circumstances in this Article. t B.A. 1991, Wesleyan University; Ph.D. candidate in Government, University of Texas at Austin.
