Elson, D.D., offered the following prayer: Eternal Father, in whom we live and move and have our being, from whom we come and to whom we go at last, in this quiet moment we remember with thanksgiving Thy servantWAYNE MORSE.We thank Thee for the magnitude of his service to the Nation and es- pecially his labors in this body. We thank Thee for the integrity of his manhood, the uniqueness of his witness, and. the power of his speech. We remember with grati- tude his virile intellect, his moral earnestness, his tenacious convic- tions, his forensic skills, his fidelity to high ideals, his loyalties tran- scending faction and party, and his faithfulness as a servant of the common good. May his unique mantle be worn worthily in all generations. Teach us once more that underneath life and death are the ever- lasting arms of the Eternal Shepherd who with goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of this life until we dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Through Him who is the Resurrection and the Life. Amen. Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, I rise with great sadness to an- nounce to the Senate the death of former SenatorWAYNE MORSE of Oregon who passed away this morning at8:10at Portland, Oreg. WAYNE MORSEwas a politician from a very unique mold, and an enigma to many people. When convinced of a position on an issue he was not swayed by political considerations or pressures. His interest was substance. His commitment to issues produced a unique style which was known as the Morse style. {II MEMORIAL ADDRESSES To those of us who for nearly a decade had tried to change U.S. policies in Indochina, Senator MORSE'S early prophecies and his warnings were of such magnitude and of such statesmanlike charac- ter that we all o*eã debt ofgratitudetohith. I would like to express my personal sympathy and that of my family to Mrs. Morse and to the family of Senator WAYNE MORSE onhis passing. He served for 24 years in this body, from i. to ig68, and I know that many who are here today served with him. I will give my own eulogy concerning Senator Moas at a later time, but I did want to share this very sad news, with my colleagues and his.many friends here at this time. ... .. Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, I wish to join the distinguished senior Senator 'from' Oregon (Mr. Hatfield) . in expressing. my sense of personal loss in this man who contributed so much. to his State, to the Nation and, in many ways, to the world. He was a man of fierce independence, I'lcnow no one with whom I have served in' this body who was more independent than WAYNE MORSE. He was fearless.. As the distinguished Senator from Oregon (Mr. Hatfield) .said there. was a Morse style, but there was also a Morse formula. I am delighted to note the distinguished Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Proxmire) on the floor, who' has. carried on the initiative shown by the. late Senator 'from. Oregon, WAYNE MORSE, in looking over items to look for escape clauses and to carry on in the tradition of WAYNE MORSE, as he has also, in my opinionand I am speaking of the distinguished Senator' from Wisconsin .

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

  • New Congress on Line to Be Next Big Brother
    New Congress on Line to be Next Big Brother By Bill Hobby Hooray for the new Congress. They promised to take government off our back, and they've put it in our living room. They promised to free us from regulation, and they've concocted one that can deprive some unwitting computer nerds of their liberty. The amendment attached to an overhaul of federal communications law by the Senate Commerce Committee sets fines up to $100,000 and jail terms of up to two years for anyone who transmits material that is "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy or indecent" over the Internet. Welcome, thought police. As one columnist, Charles Levendosky of the Casper (Wyoming) Star-Tribune, put it, "It would melt the promise of this electronic Gutenberg." Many of us are just now discovering the wonders of cyberspace as presented through the Internet. We're just learning to pull up reproductions of paintings in the Louvre, reference material from the Library of Congress, bills up for consideration in the Texas Legislature. We are travelers in a fantastic new world of knowledge and information. This wonderful worldwide network of computers can answer our questions in seconds, whether we want to know about ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics or what happened today in the O.J. Simpson trial So naturally our Big Brothers in Congress couldn't leave us alone. Under the guise of protecting children from smut, the Senate has adopted one of the most draconian invasions of privacy ever. It has never been clear to me why the government considers that it owns the airwaves.

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas. http://dolearchives.ku.edu ROBERT J. DOLE ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Interview with Sen. BOB PACKWOOD July 20, 2007 Interviewer Richard Norton Smith Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics 2350 Petefish Drive Lawrence, KS 66045 Phone: (785) 864-4900 Fax: (785) 864-1414 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas. http://dolearchives.ku.edu Packwood–07-20–07–p. 2 [Sen. Packwood reviewed this transcript for accuracy of names and dates. Because no changes of substance were made, it is an accurate rendition of the original recording.] Smith: But at his insistence, it’s about more than Senator Dole, and, when we’re done, we hope we’ll have a mosaic that will really amount almost to a history of the modern Senate, and, in a still larger sense, of the political process as it has evolved since Bob Dole came to this town in 1961, for better or worse; and that’s a debatable point. Let me begin by something Senator [John W.] Warner said in yesterday’s [Washington] Post. It was interesting; I think he came to the Senate in ’78. Packwood: Yes. Smith: What year did you Packwood: I was elected in ’68; came in ’69. Smith: Okay. He talked aboutit’s interesting. He talked about, in effect, the good old days as he remembered them, when freshmen were seen but not heard, when you waited until your second year to give your maiden speech, and when you had a handler to sort of guide you through the initiation.

    SENATE MAJORITY OFFICE Oregon State Legislature State Capitol Salem, OR NEWS RELEASE April 9, 2019 CONTACT: Rick Osborn, 503-986-1074 [email protected] National Popular Vote bill clears Oregon State Senate SB 870: Compact would ensure one person, one vote in presidential elections SALEM – The Oregon Senate moved forward with legislation that will take the United States toward a national popular vote for presidential elections. Senate Bill 870 – which passed with a bipartisan vote on the Senate floor today – makes Oregon part of the National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement between states where they will award their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes nationally. The authority to appoint electors is granted to each state “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct,” according to the United States Constitution. “One of things I’m most proud of is how over the history of this country we’ve expanded the franchise and given voters more of a direct say in the election of our leaders,” Sen. Michael Dembrow (D-Portland), who co-carried the bill with Sen. Brian Boquist (R-Dallas) on the Senate floor. “Over time we’ve decided that it’s really important to have people have a direct say in the outcome of elections. We now have 14 other states and the District of Columbia in the compact, and it’s being considered in a number of different states. It’s way past time for Oregon to join them.” The United States Constitution establishes the Electoral College as the mechanism for choosing the President of the United States.

Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Spring 2021 An Abstract of the Thesis of Emily Fowler for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken Spring 2021 (Dis)information Warfare: The 2016 Election, Russian Hackers, and U.S. Democratic Precarity Approved: ______Daniel Tichenor, Ph.D.__________ Primary Thesis Advisor The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump irrevocably changed the course of American democracy by revealing the malevolent soft power of disinformation warfare in the American electoral system. Russian troll accounts operated by artificial intelligence bots systematically targeted voters on behalf of Mr. Trump to alter behavior and elicit polarizing reactions, cultivating his campaign of fearmongering and racism. Voters of color in key battleground districts—which won Mr. Trump the Electoral College—were marginalized through campaigns slandering Hillary Clinton’s record with Black and Latinx voters. The 2019 special counsel report by Robert Mueller confirmed that Russian disinformation Internet trolls worked to sow discord within the American public in the 2016 election—but what does this reveal about the sustainable future of the United States’ democracy as technology continues evolving? What do these campaigns reveal about the targeted audience for foreign actors and consulting firms? Through my research, I aim to correlate the history of disinformation with the future development of artificial intelligent technologies.
