For more information on ACE schedules and stations, go to www.acerail.com. Incentives for cutting S.J. emissions proposed By Audrey Cooper, Record Staff Writer Published Thursday, April 24, 2003 FRESNO -- Business and community leaders at a first-ever clean-air summit Wednesday unveiled a proposed plan to cut smog by offering tax incentives and government funds to industries or groups that cut emissions. The Operation Clean Air summit drew more than 400 people from around the San Joaquin Valley, which is by some standards the country's most polluted area. That pollution has been linked to climbing asthma rates, premature deaths and cancer. Operation Clean Air is a public-private organization interested in finding voluntary measures to cut the Valley's pollution. It was the brainchild of Fresno-area politicians and includes representatives of the nine-county Valley air basin. Officials said the proposed plan was only a draft and would go through several changes over the next few months. But the popular centerpiece of the plan is a proposed "Air Quality Improvement Zone," which could work similar to municipal economic-improvement zones that use various financial incentives to encourage urban redevelopment.

  • U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.
