It has been a long while since the convention was last held in NYC. Through the generous co-sponsorship of the Public Interest Law Center at NYU School of Law, including Dean Trevor Morrison, Assistant Dean for Public Service Lisa Hoyes and Prof. Helen Hershkoff, our conference this year has access to wonderful Greenwich Village classroom meeting facilities and dormitory housing. Our sincere thanks to NYU for partnering with us. 2016 is turning out to be a turning point year for law in our country. Thus, we feel especially privileged to engage allies from social justice organizations in New York and the East Coast in discussions about the future of crucial progressive issues. The Supreme Court is in the balance for the next generation; public figures project a vision which is less fair, less tolerant, and downright racist. Shocking as these times are, this is when the NLG needs to be at its best to defend peoples’ rights. Hard times have often brought out the best in the NLG. From the Guild’s early beginnings, when it was formed as a racially and ethnically integrated alternative to the segregated American Bar Association, NLG-NYC members have played an integral role.

They never stopped watching us. — Roger Baldwin to Alan VJestin, 1977 '^ Since 1976, when the "Church Committee" uncovered a pattern of FBI abuses dating back to the 19 30s, considera- ble attention has focused on how the federal government can effectively control the FBI's domestic intelligence activities and prevent a resumption of widespread surveil- lance of lawful political activities.

This is the second major attempt in the Bureau's seventy-three year history to restrict FBI political sur- veillance.

  • The U.S. Recognition of Israel: a Bureaucratic Politics Model Analysis
    The U.S. Recognition of Israel: A Bureaucratic Politics Model Analysis Nilay Saiya Political Science Villanova University The outsider believes a Presidential order is consistently followed out. Nonsense. I have to spend considerable time seeing that it is carried out and in the spirit the President intended. Inevitably, in the nature of bureaucracy, departments become pressure groups for a point of view. If the President decides against them, they are convinced some evil influence worked on the President: if only he knew all the facts, he would have decided their way. –Richard Nixon1 The bureaucratic politics model holds that each bureaucracy in the federal government has institutional beliefs it is seeking to maximize. The competition is based upon relative power and influence. I seek to examine how these competing bureaucracies helped influence U.S. foreign policy toward Israel during the Truman administration. Specifically I hope to address the following question: How does the bureaucratic politics model explain the United States decision to recognize Israel? According to bureaucratic politics theory, decisions are determined not by rational choice or chief actors but through a give-and-take bargaining process conducted by various parties of the government. Rather than unitary actors, this model maintains that governmental decisions are the result of individuals or organizations vying for position and power. Therefore, the outcomes are a direct result of bureaucratic competition. Prominent scholars of the bureaucratic politics model
