  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Statement of David Rybicki Deputy Assistant Attorney General Department of Justice
    STATEMENT OF DAVID RYBICKI DEPUTY ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL CRIMINAL DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE TOM LANTOS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AT A HEARING ENTITLED “PURSUING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ATROCITIES” PRESENTED June 13, 2019 STATEMENT OF DAVID RYBICKI DEPUTY ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE TOM LANTOS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AT A HEARING ENTITLED “PURSUING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ATROCITIES” PRESENTED JUNE 13, 2019 Thank you for inviting the Department of Justice to testify at this hearing. Pursuing justice on behalf of victims of atrocity crimes is a mission of great and manifest importance. As the Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division who supervises a key participant in that mission – the Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section – I am pleased to address the Justice Department’s ongoing efforts against the perpetrators of atrocity crimes and other human rights and humanitarian law offenses. It is especially fitting that this hearing on the subject of the U.S. Government’s efforts to hold accountable the perpetrators of atrocity crimes and other human rights violations is being held before a commission named after the late Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the Congress of the United States. His life was saved in wartime Budapest, Hungary, through the legendary efforts of Raoul Wallenberg, a courageous American-educated Swedish diplomat. Wallenberg’s herculean efforts to rescue Hungarian Jews were significantly funded by the United States government and, in recognition of his extraordinary heroism in the face of evil, he was posthumously made an honorary United States citizen by Act of Congress in 1981 – an action that was endorsed by the Reagan Administration in part based on the recommendation of the Department’s Criminal Division.

Mcintyre, Jr SUBJECT: Letter from Jack Brooks on the Paperwork Act You asked for my comments on a letter to you from Chairman Brooks, in which he stated that the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Justice were thwarting the passage of S. 1411, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. For the past eleven months (since your remarks in support of "paperwork legislation" at the ceremony marking the signing of your Executive Order on Paperwork), we have been working with Chairman Brooks and Senator Chiles to shape and pass the "Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980." The bill that formed the basis for the legislation had been introduced at the beginning of this Congress; it strengthened the Federal Reports Act - a 1942 law that requires OMB to "clear" requests for information from the public by most executive agencies. The strengthening amendments would have brought the indepen­ dent regulatory commissions and the Internal Revenue Service - currently exempt from OMB clearance - under our authority and made it clear that no one in the private sector could be penalized for not complying with a Federal information requirement if it had not been approved by OMB.

    U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Hearing Religious Freedom in Nigeria: Extremism and Government Inaction Panel Frank Wolf was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 10th District of Virginia in 1980. He announced that he would leave the Congress in December 2014, at the end of his 17th term, to focus exclusively on human rights and religious freedom. In announcing his decision, Wolf said that as a follower of Jesus, he is called to work for justice and reconciliation, and to be an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. In January 2015, Wolf was appointed the first-ever Wilson Chair in Religious Freedom at Baylor University, a post he held through 2016. That same month he joined the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative, a newly created religious freedom group, from which he retired in September 2018 as Distinguished Senior Fellow. Wolf is the author of the International Religious Freedom Act, which infused America’s first freedom – religious freedom – into U.S. foreign policy by creating the International Religious Freedom Office at the State Department headed by an Ambassador-at-Large, and the bipartisan, independent U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Wolf also founded and served as co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Wolf received his B.A. degree from Penn State University in 1961 and his law degree from Georgetown University in 1965. Mike Jobbins leads Global Affairs and Partnerships at Search for Common Ground. He joined Search in 2008 and has designed, developed and managed conflict resolution, violence prevention, and inclusive governance programs.
