WEIHE ITEM - The Coast Guard has just come through a difficult encounter with Congress over funding for Loran-C and especially for upgrading the aging transmitter network. As you know, budgets for non-defense agencies are being slashed, and there will be a continuing fight to maintain and improve Loran, Up to now, Congress has heard about Loran4 only from the Coast Guard and the FAA. No users of the system have come fcrth to tell kcx useful a system it la, LOT It eonld be ~adt more useful,. and how difficult it would be to replace it. YGA members can rectify that situation, Write your Congress- man and Senator and tell him how important Loran is to you and to others. Send letters also to key committee members in Congress, because these are the ones who guide the congress- ional policy making. Pages 6-12 contain names and addresses of key congressional committee members. Send letters to the Chairmen especially, and any members who may be from your state, ITEM - WGA Tenth Annual Convention. This year's convention was held from 21 to 23 October 1981 and deemed a huge success by all. Seventy-two attended this year's convention. Due to current budget difficulties, DOT representation was sparce (6 Coast Guard persons attended compared to 49 last year). The sessions included papers covering Loran-C charts and calibration. technology, &id stabil ity and test and evaluation. Excellent speakers for the luncheons included Lloyd Higginbotham and Admiral A1 Manning. Chuck Sl ocombe provided a very entertaining presentation on the unusual abilities of the "Whale". The golf tournament winner had a score in the high 90s. Can we really classify these matches as a tournament with such scores? Bob Frank is recuperating from an illness and was unable to play tennis this year. We are all very glad to see Bob at this year's convention. He has promised to organize a tournament next year. Manufacturers of Loran-C and satellite navigation equipment displayed and demonstrated equipment (the type of equipment and technology was a repeat from the 22 June 1981 Loran-C seminar held at Marina Del Rey, CA. The type of equipment was listed in the last newsletter.) Special thanks is extended to the equipment manufacturers. The entire WGA membership greatly appreciates the outstanding job Walt Dean, Convention Chairman, did this year. Additionally, special thanks goes to CDR Jim Alexander - Arrangements; Capt. J.F. Culbertson - Speakers; L.D. Higginbotham - Hospitality; and, of course, those of you who presented such fine technical papers. Finally , the session chairmen (Larry Cortl and - Teledyne; Cdr. Jim Alexander - USCG; Tony Mortimer - Canadian Hydrographic Service, and Capt. Jim Culbertson - USCG) did an excellent job in leading each of the technical sessions. ITEM Acknowledgements.

ITEM - SRD LABS announces the first Loran4 Receiver with fully automatic bearing correction for magnetic variation. The magnetic bearing to each waypoint is computed automatically and updated as the vessel moves along its course. The CLX-85M Loran C Navigator provides lati tudellongi tude, TD' s (Time Delays) or steering information in two bright LED displays. The CLX-85M provides a unique method of correcting latitude1 1 ongi tude errors inherent in a1 1 1 ati tude/l ongi tude sets. The operator merely enters a correct known position into the Loran and the computer automatically applies this as a correction to a1 1 other 1ati tude/l ongi tude readings. CLX-85M provides all other navigator features such a speed, time and distance to waypoint, etc., which are standard with the basic CLX-85M. This new Loran also features a built-in ECD (Envelope to Cycle Difference) corrector, an important feature for areas where the path from the transmitters causes serious signal distortion. SRD LABS, INC. , 381 McGl i ncey Lane, Campbell , CA 95008 ITEM - "The Book of Lights" by Chaim Potok. Albert Einstein ponders the young rabbi 's last name: "Loran. That is, I be1 ieve, also the name of a navigational instrument, is it not?" As usual, the physicist is correct: the acronym for long-range navigation also describes the hero of Chaim Potok's fifth and most ambitious novel.

  • Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968
    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

  • 2015 Rapallo Award Luncheon
    Columbian Lawyers Association First Judicial Department Fiftieth Annual Rapallo Award Luncheon HONORABLE JOHN A. BARONE Justice of the Supreme Court State of New York Twelfth Judicial District April 18, 2015 The Waldorf Astoria CHARLES A. RAPALLO Charles A. Rapallo, whose father, Antonio Rapallo, was an attorney, educator, and linguist, was the first jurist of Italian American descent elected to the Court of Appeals of the State of New York. He was among the first seven judges to serve on the Court when the new state Constitution was adopted in 1869 after the Constitutional Conventions of 1867 and 1868. Sworn in July 4th, 1870 at 46 years of age, he served as an Associate Judge until his death on December 28, 1887. The first volumes of New York Reports, published during Judge Rapallo’s tenure on the Court of Appeals, contain many of Judge Rapallo’s opinions embracing a wide range of subjects and displaying the resources of a powerful mind informed by reading and reflection. In the combination of qualities which qualify an individual for the Court of Appeals, Judge Rapallo had few, if any, superiors. He possessed intellectual gifts of a high order, integrity of purpose, a calm and dispassionate temper, great good sense, a solid judgement, and these, united with learning and a power of philosophical analysis, constitute him one of the outstanding judges to have served on the Court of Appeals. Judge Rapallo was one of the dedicated lawyers and jurists responsible for the formation of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York; he was elected a member of its first executive committee.

  • Surrogate Champions for the Poor
    6 Surrogate Champions for the Poor The poor, like all constituent groups, need strong advocates in Congress. They need legislators who will devote their time to issues related to poverty, and who will advance legislation to address poverty-relevant issues. Without these legislative champions, it is unlikely that the interests of the poor will be raised on Capitol Hill. Without this initial recognition, it is unlikely that the House will pursue policies intended to help the poor. As Williams writes, “before government can act in a manner that is responsive to the interest of individual citizens, those interest must be articulated by a representative in a decision-making body such as a legislature” (1998, 24). Therefore, this chapter identifies and discusses these “champions for the poor.” The previous three chapters reveal that some poverty-related legisla- tion is introduced in the House, and that certain legislators are more likely to offer such legislation. However, these chapters also make clear that the representation of the poor in Congress is not straightforward. To the extent that it occurs, it does not follow the classical paths of collective or dyadic representation. Put differently, the champions of the poor are not the usual suspects. In this chapter, I examine an alternate pathway of representation – surrogate representation – wherein a legislator represents constituents beyond his own district. I establish the role surrogate representatives play in giving the poor a political voice, and show that surrogate representation is central to how the poor are represented in Congress. This focus on surrogate champions shifts attention to the activity of legislators throughout their careers in the House, rather than at one moment in time.

    GSA PBS PROSPECTUS — ALTERATION TED WEISS FEDERAL BUILDING NEW YORK, NY Prospectus Number: PNY-0350-NY15 Congressional District: 08 FY2015 Project Summary The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes a repair and alteration project to modernize elevators in the Ted Weiss Federal Building (Weiss FB) located at 290 Broadway, New York, NY. The elevators have reached the end of their useful life, are inefficient and difficult and costly to maintain. 'Phis project was among those previously included in GSA's FY 2013 Capital Investment and Leasing Program's Exigent Needs prospectus. Although the prospectus was approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the house Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on July 24, 2012, and February 28, 2013, respectively, no funds were ever appropriated.

It has governed the way the United States has organized, planned, and conducted military operations for the last twenty five years. It passed the Senate and House of Representatives with margins of victory reserved for birthday and holiday resolutions. It is praised throughout the U.S. defense establishment as a universal good. Despite this, it engendered a strong opposition movement organized primarily by Navy Secretary John F. Lehman but also included members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prominent Senators and Congressman, and President Reagan's Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger. This essay will examine the forty year background of defense reform movements leading to the Goldwater Nichols Act, the fight from 1982 to 1986 by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation and its twenty-five year legacy that may not be as positive as the claims made by the Department of Defense suggest.
