FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENT OF HON. TOM WHEELER, CHAIRMAN ACCOMPANIED BY: HON. AJIT PAI, COMMISSIONER OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR TOM UDALL Senator UDALL. Good morning. I am pleased to convene this hearing of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. First, I want to welcome my ranking member, Senator Mike Johanns. We don’t have anybody else here, but we expect a few to show up. But great to be here with you and share this opportunity to learn from our Federal Communications Commission (FCC) members that are here. I also want to—— Senator JOHANNS. Mr. Chairman, sometimes it is about quality, not quantity. Senator UDALL. Yes, that is right. That is very, very well put. Yes. We have got real quality here. There is no doubt about it. And I also want to welcome our witnesses. Chairman Tom Wheeler, who recently was confirmed as the new chairman of the FCC. I want to thank you for your service and look forward to your testimony today. And also with us is Commissioner Ajit Pai. Really good to have you with us again and look forward to your testimony as well. The FCC has been very busy on a number of initiatives, initia- tives that are critical to many Americans. And these are initiatives that I strongly support. The FCC is modernizing the almost $9 billion Universal Service Fund to expand access to vital communications systems for every- one in America. The United States invented the Internet, but now we lag behind many countries in broadband access. This is especially so in rural parts of New Mexico. So I am pleased to see new broadband and (1) 2 wireless investments in my home State and on tribal lands. And that is all thanks to universal service reforms. The FCC is also updating and streamlining the E-Rate program to support Internet access at schools. In New Mexico, E-Rate al- ready makes a big difference, benefiting over 350 schools and li- braries and more than 370,000 school children. There is no doubt, as you both know, that we live in an Internet age. And as Chairman Wheeler has noted, every student in Amer- ica should have access to state-of-the-art tools for education. E-Rate helps make that possible. In 2012, Congress authorized the FCC to conduct spectrum auc- tions to make more spectrum available for mobile broadband use. This fuels innovation in wireless technologies. It helps build FirstNet, our Nation’s public safety broadcast network for first re- sponders. And it will generate significant revenue for the U.S. Treasury. The FCC also has a crucial safety and security role. Our Nation’s communications networks do more than just keep us in touch with friends and family. In emergency

  • 4. IOWA Iowa Is the State Famous for Holding Presidential Caucuses Rather Than a Presidential Primary. There Is a Good Reason F
    4. IOWA Iowa is the state famous for holding presidential caucuses rather than a presidential primary. There is a good reason for that. The state of New Hampshire has a tradition of holding the first presidential primary. In fact, New Hampshire has a law requiring that the New Hampshire primary be one week before the presidential primary of any other state. By scheduling caucuses rather than a primary, Iowa is able to hold its caucuses ahead of New Hampshire and thereby escape the political ire of New Hampshirites. Iowa also thus prevents New Hampshire from scheduling its primary one week ahead of the presidential caucuses in Iowa. That is what that famous New Hampshire law would require if Iowa held a primary. It was in 1972 that Iowa first scheduled its "First In The Nation" presidential caucuses. Four years later, in 1976, the Iowa caucuses were propelled to major importance when Jimmy Carter, a little-known former governor of Georgia, devoted virtually a year of his life to campaigning in Iowa. Carter's surprise victory in the Iowa caucuses made him the instant front-runner for the Democratic nomination. It was an advantage which Carter exploited so well he was eventually elected president of the United States. But there is also a downside to the Iowa caucuses for presidential hopefuls. Iowa can be the burial ground for a candidacy instead of the launching pad. That is what happened to U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts in 1980 when he challenged incumbent President Jimmy Carter for the Democratic nomination. President Carter polled 59 percent of the Iowa caucuses vote to 31 percent for Kennedy.

Mexican origin Youth and the Gang Context: Social Identities and School Experiences Abstract Youth, gang involved or not, living in a community with a gang problem are impacted in various ways. This study draws from qualitative interviews over the transition to high school of thirty-two Mexican origin students in Chicago. The Extended Case Method (ECM) was employed for the analysis of the qualitative data. Using borderlands and social identity theory, results indicated that the school response to the youth gang problem directly impacted students’ educational experiences, how staff viewed them, and how they negotiated these social categorizations. Students reported unrecognized trauma due to the level of violence and marginalizing experiences in school.

  • Senator Tom Harkin*
    FOREWORD Senator Tom Harkin* Over the past 25 years the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been one of the most successful pieces of civil rights legislation in United States history.1 Since its inception, the ADA has been supplemented with regulations and rules enforced by the Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Transportation, Federal Communications Commissions, and Department of Justice, among others, which provide individuals with disabilities a broad range of rights including access to public transit, buildings, and facilities, as well as the judicial system for issues concerning employment discrimination.2 But implementation of the ADA has not occurred without setbacks. Following its passage, the United States Supreme Court overly restricted the ADA by limiting interpretations of the definition of “disability” and whether a disability “substantially limits” the individual and affects a “major life activity” of the individual, two necessary requirements within the ADA for an individual to be covered under the law.3 The four major goals of the ADA are to provide “equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency” to persons * Senator Tom Harkin’s signature legislative achievement is The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Almost 20 years after its enactment, Senator Harkin and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) introduced the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 to preserve the intent of the ADA after several court rulings weakened its standards and to ensure continuing protections from discrimination for all Americans with disabilities. It was signed into law in September 2008, and in November 2008, Senator Harkin made history by becoming the first Iowa Democrat to win a fifth term in the U.S.

  • 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.

  • Did Economic Sanctions Cause Inequality in the US-Iran Relations?
    Did Economic Sanctions Cause Inequality in the US-Iran Relations? Agnese Macaluso 2015 Abstract Over the last three decades, relations between Iran and the United States have been dominated by hostility and economic restrictions. In the autumn of 2013, however, Iran and the P5+1 began negotiating over what was welcomed as an historical nuclear deal. After almost two years of difficult negotiations, a comprehensive agreement has now been reached, though it has not yet been ratified. The announcement triggered new optimism over the future of their relations but also doubts on the sustainability and durability of such an agreement. This paper both explores the extent to which the inequality that has characterized the relations between Iran and the US has been the cause of the deadlock, and discusses the way in which the lack of both procedural and distributive justice has hindered negotiations. The paper also discusses the implications, for the concept and perception of equality and durable peace, of pursuing an agreement by imposing economic sanctions. Did Economic Sanctions Cause Inequality in the US-Iran Relations? Agnese Macaluso Abou t the Au th or Agnese Macaluso is a Researcher in the Conflict Prevention Program of The Hague institute for Global Justice. She focuses on economic sanctions and conflict prevention and is currently involved in research projects in the field of institutions and governance and education.
