Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

(1885-1982) Children: 1 d. Margaret "You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you - - and on my desk I have a motto which says The Buck Stops Here" Harry Truman, National War College, December 19th, 1952 'Give 'em hell' Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States and also the 33rd tallest. He was born on May 8th, 1884 and died at age 88 on December 22nd, 1972. Of note also is that V- E Day occurred on Truman's birthday on May 8th, 1945. He had no middle name. His parents gave him the middle initial, 'S', to honor his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. He married his wife Elizabeth 'Bess' Wallace on June 28, 1919; he had previously proposed in 1911 and she turned him down; but they finally got engaged in 1913. She had been in his class at school when he was six and she was five, and she sat in the desk immediately behind him. The couple had one child, Mary Margaret Truman. Harry was a little man who did a lot, standing just 5 feet 9 inches tall which is short for a president.
  • Handrails Installation at Blair House Complex Entrance Stairs

    Handrails Installation at Blair House Complex Entrance Stairs

    704 Jackson Place, NW: Proposed addition of secondary, code-compliant handrails at entrance stair Constructed in 1861 and purchased by the U.S. Government in 1950, the rowhouse at 704 Jackson Place, NW was incorporated into the President's Guest House in 1969. The rowhouse is adjacent to (north of) the corner rowhouse at Jackson Place and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The Blair House Complex is occupied by the U.S. Department of State and serves our nation’s diplomatic activities. The entrance, which faces Jackson Place and Lafayette Square, is the primary entry for Blair House public events, such as the annual holiday gatherings, hosted by the U.S. Department of State. The brownstone stair assembly was installed in the late 1980's, replicating the original, which was removed due to its severe deterioration. A safety concern has been noted, as the brownstone railings’ width and height do not afford a safe means of grabbing and holding should a person entering or exiting the building lose balance, particularly when the steps are wet. Further, the ambient lighting on Jackson Place is low, adding to the safety concern of those using the stairs. GSA proposes adding a pair of secondary, ABA Standards code-compliant handrails, following the example of those added at public historic building entrances throughout the District of Columbia. The simple railings are designed to acknowledge their additive, secondary status, while being compatible with the brownstone railings. The proposed handrails have as small a diameter top rail as allowable to meet code (1 ½ inches), the smallest cross section picket structurally feasible, (1 1/8 inches), and the minimum structurally acceptable number of pickets to support the top rail.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to lielp you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated vwth a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Gill: Presidential Modernity: Harry Truman and the Foreign Policy Decis Presidential Modernity: Harry Truman and the Foreign Policy Decision Making Process Abstract: Harry Truman is an overshadowed figure in presidential politics and history. His presidency was wedged between two titans of the office, the politically savvy Franklin Roosevelt and universally beloved war hero Dwight Eisenhower, and his overall influence and impact is downplayed when compared these two men. This research examines what influence Truman exerted upon the executive branch by asking “how has Harry Truman influenced the foreign policy decision making process of office of the presidency and how, if at all, could his actions be considered modern?” Through a comparative case study analysis of four foreign policy events, this paper highlights the progression of Truman’s decision-making process and shows how it assumed a modern style.

    Prospects for the 2021 NATO Leaders' Meeting

    AT A GLANCE Prospects for the 2021 NATO leaders' meeting An in-person NATO summit of heads of state or government is scheduled to take place in Brussels on 14 June 2021. Highly anticipated, as part of United States President Joe Biden's first overseas visit, the summit is expected to outline NATO's strategic direction in the decade ahead. The NATO 2030 agenda will be debated, and forward- looking discussions about long-term threats and challenges to Euro-Atlantic security and defence are expected. A summit to future-proof the transatlantic alliance The June 2021 NATO summit will be the culmination of Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's 'NATO 2030' process (see below). With the previous summit having taken place in December 2019 in London, United Kingdom, this summit is scheduled at a time of reflection about the future adaptation of the Alliance, challenges to the rules-based international order, geopolitical competition, and against the backdrop of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, where NATO Allies have been deployed since 2001. Secretary General Stoltenberg has formulated eight proposals to 'form the core of the Summit agenda', which are under negotiation in the North Atlantic Council, NATO's principal political decision-making body. These intend to reinforce the 'unity between Europe and North America', to broaden 'NATO's approach to security', and to safeguard rules-based multilateralism. Solutions include providing for closer political consultations, renewing commitments to collective defence and envisioning concrete measures to strengthen resilience − including safe infrastructure and supply chains. To this end, on 31 May 2021, Romania inaugurated the Euro-Atlantic Centre for Resilience intended as a hub to promote the EU and NATO's resilience objectives.
