  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

  • December, 1968 Prospects of the New Administration the Slow Unfolding
    WASHINGTON NOTES ON ArnICA December, 1968 Ie Prospects of the New Administration The slow unfolding of the Nixon administration still has not revealed very much about what American policy towards Africa is likely to be. Members of the Africa Bureau in the state Department predict that there really won't be too many changes. Because Africa has largely been ignored in recent years by the outgoing administration, it is difficult to tell whether the predicted absence of change is good or bad. In sifting through a number of policy statements, articles and speeches by President-elect Richard Nixon, there does appear to be a definite commitment to­ wards non-intervention, especially on a unilateral basis. He also seems to show an awareness of the implications of the tendencies towards international racial polarization. For instance, he has said that the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. must not be seen to be ganging up on China because of the implications of racism. On the other hand, his commitment to strengthening the NATO Alliance and American relationships with Europe seems to indicate that American policy towards Africa under Nixon might be subservient to the interests of the metropolitan powers in Europe. Our bases in the Azores continue to distort our policy towards Portugal with respect to Angola and Moz&nbique. The appointment of Henry Kissinger to the White House on national security matters is interesting because one of his strong interests is supposed to be long range planning. If this is so, southern Africa may receive more attention than it does now under the current practices of "crisisu planning.
