  • The Honorable Susan Molinari Oral History Interview Final Edited
    The Honorable Susan Molinari U.S. Representative of New York (1990–1997) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript January 8, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “We all bring our experiences to a discussion, and there are all different experiences, and so I did take very seriously the experience of being a female and bringing that to the discussion. I was not one of those people—sometimes I would go up to somebody and say they did this, and they’d be like, ‘I am not going to be the female legislator.’ And I totally respect that, but that was not me; I was going to be the female legislator. If there was something that was going on that was ticking me off with regard to women, anyplace, I was going to be the female. So, I took that very seriously. There was a reason I was there.” The Honorable Susan Molinari January 8, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 57 Abstract Raised in a political family, Susan Molinari’s relationship with her father, Congressman Guy Molinari, greatly influenced her road to Congress. As the only Republican on the city council of New York, and the daughter of a well-known politician, Molinari used her notoriety and experience to win a seat in the U.S. House. She made history as only the second daughter to directly succeed her father in Congress. Her youth and political lineage garnered the attention of the Republican Leadership and the respect of her colleagues.

  • Common Cause
    Common Cause. (May 18, 2004). Democracy on drugs: The medicare / prescription drug bill: A study in how government shouldn’t work. Washington, D.C.: Common Cause. Introduction Our Constitution reflects the over-arching concern of the Founding Fathers that the rights of the minority be jealously preserved and protected, even in the presence of a strong majority. From start to finish, the $535 billion Medicare bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush late in 2003 has been a study in shutting out opposing voices and suppressing the flow of vital information. This Common Cause report chronicles a series of incidents, large and small, that add up to a consistent effort by the Administration and Congressional leadership to bypass or undermine the rules and laws that are in place to ensure that our government works in an open and accountable manner and that all voices are heard on critical public policy issues. The Medicare bill is the product of a process that included: • Charges of bribery, delayed votes, inappropriate cabinet member lobbying and censoring of C-SPAN cameras. • The Administration misleading Congress by withholding its own cost estimates for the prescription drug legislation—estimates that greatly exceeded what the President was telling the public. A career civil servant being threatened with his job if he told Congress the truth. • Congressional Members excluded from the House-Senate conference committee that finalized the bill. Only a "coalition of the willing" was invited to participate. • A principal author of the bill was forced to step down as head of a powerful House committee after it was reported that he was negotiating a $2 million a year lobbying job with the drug industry while he was moving the proposal through his committee.
