OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR McGOVERN, CHAIRMAN Senator MCGOVERN. The committee will come to order. I would like to make a brief statement toopen this mon. :ng'..ear- ings. We have with us themayors o r -Detroit and Newark. These men and other may,,r. OS'S thi; uuntry were encouraged by the U.S. Department of Apiculture to develop and expand their programs to feed needy cAdren this summer. They have just been told by that same Department that they will actually receive littleor none of the money they were promised earlier they would receive. Their str---r is tiks story of cities across the Nation, cities whichcare about their ..bildryn and which were anxious to do whatever they could to ease the trains 4 summer in the urban areas of the country. We also _Avt prIgram administrators withus for this hearing this morning, tae men who are directly responsible for feeding children in Los Anp4t=s San Antonio. These are the men who negotiated for the feeding sites, food service contracts, theproposn Is, and the employees, :sad these are the men who nave just been told they will not have the money they need. to operate theprograms that they recently regotiated. I am tai.d that we also have some ,!liildren in the hearing room today who are visithrg Congress this morning, children who should receive meals in the District of Columbia but who will not be fed ifmoney is not made available immediately. ADATISTRATION WITNESSES DECLINED TO TESTIFY I have not mentioned the presence of administration witnesses, be- cause when we invited them to testify they declined to do so. One was too busy, another said it was not his ;responsibility, and the third claimed his office had not been notified. (1513) 1514 Unlike the mayors, the program administrators,and the children, the men wl,o might have made this moneyavailable and have made this hearing unnecessary seemed to havenothing at stake and so, for various reasons, declined to attend thishearing. The Office of Manage- ment and Budget was willing enough towithhold the needed funds but not to appear in public hearings to answerfor their actions. The story of the summer feeding programhas been so confused and so ineptly handled, Ithink it is little wonder that the menresponsible for this aifficulty did not want

The candi­ dates we are recommending are, we believe, persons of both high integrity and persons who have the professional ability to carry out the responsibilities of their elected office. There are, unfortunately, candidates in this election whose personal integrity can be questioned. Those are the candi­ dates in this election conducting cam­ paigns of hate and fear. Homosexuals have been picked as their target. On the fortunate side, polls show the candidates conducting the hate and fear campaigns badly trailing, except in the mayoral race where Kathy Whit­ mire is only slightly ahead of Louie Welch.

  • Gay Liberation Comes to Dixieœslowly
    Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie–Slowly Hastings Wyman This article examines a little studied aspect of southern politics: the emergence of gay rights activists as players in mainstream southern politics. The article examines state-by-state electoral successes of openly-gay candidates throughout the South as well as the impact of gay rights activists on public policy (at both the local and state level), hate crimes legislation, employment rights, higher education, and private business. The movement of homosexuals from the shadows of society to open participation in public life has been a major national trend during the past three decades, and the South has not been in the forefront of this development. However, significant evidence suggests that, as Dixie has accommo- dated to other social changes, it is adapting to gay liberation—albeit more slowly than the rest of the nation. How Many Gays in the South? It is likely that the South has about the same share of gay residents as the rest of the country. According to a 1998 study of exit polls conducted by the Policy Institute of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF), all regions of the nation, including the South, have about the same share of gay voters (Bailey 2000). In exit polling for the 2000 presidential election, nationally, some four percent of voters answered yes to the question, are you gay or lesbian? In the South, three percent answered yes (CNN.com 2001a). In the 2000 census, same-sex couples who self-identified as “unmarried partners” were as prevalent in the South as elsewhere.

Cowboys, “Queers,” and Community: The AIDS Crisis in Houston and Dallas, 1981-1996. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 78 titles. This thesis examines the response to the AIDS crisis in Houston and Dallas, two cities in Texas with the most established gay communities highest number of AIDS incidences. Devoting particular attention to the struggles of the Texas’ gay men, this work analyzes the roadblocks to equal and compassionate care for AIDS, including access to affordable treatment, medical insurance, and the closure of the nation’s first AIDS hospital. In addition, this thesis describes the ways in which the peculiar nature of AIDS as an illness transformed the public perception of sickness and infection. This work contributes to the growing study of gay and lesbian history by exploring the transformative effects of AIDS on the gay community in Texas, a location often forgotten within the context of the AIDS epidemic.
