    Malcolm Wallop Civic Engagement Program K-12 Curriculum Project History of Elections Hacking – Teacher Resource Guide Laura Baker, Board President CyberWyoming Alliance Targeted Grades: Middle School (6-8)/High School (9-12) Wyoming Social Studies Standards Lesson Aligns With: - 8th grade standards: SS8.1.1, SS8.1.2, SS8.4.1, SS8.4.2 and SS8.4.3. - High school standards: SS12.1.1, SS12.1.2, SS12.4.1, SS12.4.2 and SS12.4.3. Presentation Summary: Cybersecurity is a growing concern among governments, businesses, and citizens in the United States and around the world. One aspect of this, foreign election hacking, has become a growing challenge to modern democracies, including the United States. By definition, election hacking (or more broadly election tampering) is the attempt by governments (and non-government groups) to covertly or overtly influence the elections of another country. This presentation looks at the allegations of recent election hacking in the United States, its origins, and raises questions about the implications this has for our democracy. The presentation traces the origins of Russian hacking to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia and presents a number of questions for your students to ponder about the implications this has for democratic elections and the future of American democracy. As you review the presentation in class, you can ask students about what they already knew and what they learned from this video to set up a discussion of broader implications for hacking and cyberspace for election security and beyond. Suggested Discussion Questions: 1. Do you think election hacking should be taken more seriously today? Why or why not? 2.

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu Office of Herman Talmadge of Georgia UNITED STATES SENATE FOR RELEASE ·IN PMs FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT Monday, December 6, 1976 James C. Webster (202) 224-2035 ADDRESS BY SENATOR HERMAN E. TALMADGE OF GEORGIA Chairman, Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, United States Senate To the Sixth International Commodities Conference Continental Plaza, Chicago, Ill., Monday, Dec. 6, 1976 You give me a big order today -- to discuss the legislative outlook for the agricultural sector. But it is a challenge that I am honored to accept. There is always great difficulty in predicting the future. There are any number of commentators and columnists who rush in where the more cautious fear to tread. I prefer the cautious approach. There are any number of imponderables and uncertainties on the legislative agenda during the next session of Congress. One. of tp.e greatest unknown factors, of <;ourse, is the nature of the legislative proposals we may see from the Carter Administration. There are some things that we do know -- and much that we do not know. It is essential, in discussing the legislative outlook for agriculture, that we know first where agriculture is today. And one thing that we know for certain is that agriculture is big business today. It is enormous business. It is important business. The American food and agriculture system is a 530-billion-dollar industry. That's about seven times the size of the automobile industry. It involves up to 17 million workers.
