Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making. And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

    THE CONGRESS Preserving Our Institutions THE FIRST REPORT OF THE CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT COMMISSION Preserving Our Institutions THE CONTINUITY OF CONGRESS THE FIRST REPORT OF THE CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT COMMISSION MAY 2003 Continuity of Government Commission Continuity of Government Commission www.continuityofgovernment.org The Continuity of Government Commission is deeply dedicated to ensuring that our three branches of government would be able to function after a catastrophic attack that killed or incapacitated large numbers of our legislators, executive branch officials, or judges. It was, of course, the attacks of September 11th that prodded us to consider how an attack on our leaders and institutions might debilitate our country just at the very time strong leadership and legitimate institutions were most needed. In the aftermath of September 11th, our nation was able to call on the statesmanship and resolve of public officials operating through normal constitutional channels. If the attack had been more horrible, we might not have been able to respond so effectively. Our first report—Preserving Our Institutions: The Continuity of Congress—addresses the continu- ity of our first branch of government. The commission will issue subsequent reports on the continuity of the presidency and the Supreme Court. We chose to begin with Congress because it is the insti- tution least able to reconstitute itself after a catastrophic attack. While some protections exist for reconstituting the presidency pursuant to the Presidential Succession Act, under our current con- stitutional framework, Congress would have a far more difficult time filling large numbers of its own vacancies after an attack. It might not function well or at all for many months.

    FINDING AID UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA SCHOOL OF LAW BOUNDS LAW LIBRARY ARCHIVES KENNETH ALLISON ROBERTS COLLECTION MSS.0014 Date Span: 1940s – 1960s Collection Size: 5 cubic feet Description: The Kenneth Allison Roberts Collection consists of approximately five cubic feet of documents, manuscripts, diaries, photographs, and artifacts deposited with the Bounds Law Library by the family of Congressman Roberts. The collection spans the 1940s through the 1960s with the bulk of materials from the 1950s and 1960s. Roberts served as Alabama Representative to the United States Congress from 1951 to 1965. Included in the collection are correspondence files of interest to researchers of mid-twentieth-century Alabama politics. In addition, the collection includes Robert's appointment diaries and one diary-like booklet in which Roberts apparently wrote the script for a stump speech on behalf of presidential candidate John F. Kennedy. The papers likewise contain materials pertaining to his long-term interest in consumer and automobile safety and to the electrification of the Coosa River Valley by means of the construction of dams. One of several groups of artifacts in the collection recalls the 1954 attack by Puerto Rican nationalists on the United States House of Representatives in which Roberts was wounded. These items include the flag his assailants displayed during the attack. Kenneth Allison Roberts Collection Finding Aid Kenneth Allison Roberts Collection Box 1 (Files 1-30, 32): − File 1.

    Page 1 of 228 Version 01 Codebook ------------------- CODEBOOK APPENDIX FILE 1992 PRE-POST STUDY (1992.TN) >> 1980 CENSUS DEFINITIONS This note contains definitions of terms used by the 1980 U.S. Census of Population. STANDARD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS (SMSA's): The general concept of a metropolitan area is one of a large population nucleus, together with adjacent communities that have a high degree of economic and social integration with that nucleus. Each SMSA has one or more central counties containing the area's main population concentration: an urbanized area with at least 50,000 inhabitants. An SMSA may also include outlying counties that have close economic and social relationships with the central counties. The outlying counties must have a specified level of commuting to the central counties and must also meet certain standards regarding metropolitan character, such as population density, urban population and population growth. In New England, SMSA's are composed of cities and towns rather than whole counties. The population living in SMSA's may also be referred to as the metropolitan population. The population is subdivided into "inside central city (or cities)" and "outside central city (or cities)." (The population living outside SMSA's constitutes the non-metropolitan population.) Most SMSA's have one to three CENTRAL CITIES that are named in the census title of the SMSA. STANDARD CONSOLIDATED STATISTICAL AREAS (SCSA's): In some parts of the country, metropolitan development has progressed to the point that adjoining SMSA's are themselves socially and economically interrelated. These areas are designated standard consolidated statistical areas (SCSA's) by the Office of Management and Budget, and are defined using standards included as part of the new SMSA standards described above.
