Two years ago I dis- cussed problems of reconversion from a wartime to a peacetime footing and various aspects of the resulting redeployment of our facilities and energies. Last year I discussed some aspects of the status and trends of higher education which bear on our planning for the future and called attention to the urgent need for capital funds and facilities to enable us to continue as an effective and progressive institute of technology in these days of important new technological developments. This year there is again a major theme for my report, which is a sequel to the previous three. It is the report and recommendations made by the Corporation's Survey Com- mittee headed by John R. Macomber, and the steps which are being taken to implement that report. It is the fact that we are actually launching an organized effort to acquire the funds and facilities which were urged in my report a year ago, with the modifications and additions recommended by the Survey Committee. It is the fact that this report was unanimously approved by the Corporation and action on its recommenda- tions unanimously ordered by the Executive Committee. COMMITTEE ON FINANCING DEVELOPMENT The Survey Committee was a large and representative group of the Corporation, aided by several alumni and outside consultants. It made a thorough study of the financial re- sources of the Institute and of the administration's tentative list of high priority needs for additional capital facilities and resources, and it recommended the creation of a Committee on Financing Development with a "Program to Increase the 7 I REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT Endowment and Plant of M. I. T. [which] should be a planned, scheduled and organized effort to bring the Institute to maxi- mum effectiveness. The short range objective is to secure [an additional] $20,000,000 over a reasonable period for imme- diate application to the several projects and endowment but the Committee on Financing Development should also arrange for a continuous directed effort to finance new or changed requirements as they arise in the future." The Survey Committee then went on to suggest a proposed organization for securing these funds, as a result of its study of various tested plans and methods. It recommended a large standing committee, reporting to the Corporation, to be called the "Committee on Financing Development." It recommended the appointment of a General Chairman, a Steering Committee, a Development Office, a Committee on Projects, a Committee on Public Information, a Committee on Alumni Participation, a Committee on Resources, a Committee for Special Gifts, a Committee on Business Corporations, and a group of local committees. It also suggested the form and duties of these committees and considered the desirability of engaging the assistance of a professional fund-raising organization. The Committee's report closed with the following paragraph: "The Survey Committee approves in principle the broad organizational outline as described here, recognizing that the complete organization will need to be devised later. This out- line is intended to serve only as a preliminary guide to the chief executive of the organization. Carefully detailed preparation and organization should precede the opening of active solicita- tion. While the immediate effort will not be a 'campaign' or a 'drive', the organization needs to operate with a sense of urgency and with effective publicity.

Flemming executed an instrument of gift for these papers. Linear feet: 128.8 Approximate number of pages: 254,400 Approximate number of items: Unknown Literary rights in the unpublished papers of Arthur S. Flemming have been transferred to the people of the United States. By agreement with the donor the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers and other historical material the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of personal privacy or a libel of a living person. 2. Papers and other historical materials that are specifically authorized under criteria established by statute or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy, and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such statute or Executive Order. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Papers of Arthur S. Flemming were deposited with the Eisenhower Library in two major accessions. The first and largest accession arrived in 1986 and contained materials from Flemming’s early civil service career through the mid-1970s. The second accession arrived in late 1996. It more or less takes up where the first accession leaves off but there are a couple exceptions that must be noted. The second accession contains a few files from the early 1960s, which were probably held back at the time of the first shipment because they were still relevant to Flemming’s activities at the time, namely files related to aging.

Preisendorfer INTRODUCTION The purpose of this note is to present an example of the application of the vector theory of the photic field ("light field") to an important class of scattering-absorbing optical media, namely the class of natural hydrosols consisting, e.g., of oceans, harbors, and lakes. The application is at the same time of practical value in that it yields explicit expressions for the depth-dependence of the light vector in terms of its components at the surface and certain of the optical properties of these media. Furthermore, the discussion presents particularly simple interpretations of the quasipotential and related functions. These interpretations emerge naturally from the geometry and physics of the present application. In this way we add to the evidence that the formalism of the photic field as developed by Moon, Spencer, and others (1), (2), * is of more than academic This paper represents results of research which has been supported by the Bureau of Ships, U.

  • Congressional Overspeech

    Congressional Overspeech

    ARTICLES CONGRESSIONAL OVERSPEECH Josh Chafetz* Political theater. Spectacle. Circus. Reality show. We are constantly told that, whatever good congressional oversight is, it certainly is not those things. Observers and participants across the ideological and partisan spectrums use those descriptions as pejorative attempts to delegitimize oversight conducted by their political opponents or as cautions to their own allies of what is to be avoided. Real oversight, on this consensus view, is about fact-finding, not about performing for an audience. As a result, when oversight is done right, it is both civil and consensus-building. While plenty of oversight activity does indeed involve bipartisan attempts to collect information and use that information to craft policy, this Article seeks to excavate and theorize a different way of using oversight tools, a way that focuses primarily on their use as a mechanism of public communication. I refer to such uses as congressional overspeech. After briefly describing the authority, tools and methods, and consensus understanding of oversight in Part I, this Article turns to an analysis of overspeech in Part II. The three central features of overspeech are its communicativity, its performativity, and its divisiveness, and each of these is analyzed in some detail. Finally, Part III offers two detailed case studies of overspeech: the Senate Munitions Inquiry of the mid-1930s and the McCarthy and Army-McCarthy Hearings of the early 1950s. These case studies not only demonstrate the dynamics of overspeech in action but also illustrate that overspeech is both continuous across and adaptive to different media environments. Moreover, the case studies illustrate that overspeech can be used in the service of normatively good, normatively bad, and * Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center.

This holor possesses magnitude and character. In most cases, we are interested primarily in character, and this can be represented by a point in a 2-space (the nutrition triangle).
