  • The History of Redistricting in Georgia
    GEORGIA LAW REVIEW(DO NOT DELETE) 11/6/2018 8:33 PM THE HISTORY OF REDISTRICTING IN GEORGIA Charles S. Bullock III* In his memoirs, Chief Justice Earl Warren singled out the redistricting cases as the most significant decisions of his tenure on the Court.1 A review of the changes redistricting introduced in Georgia supports Warren’s assessment. Not only have the obligations to equalize populations across districts and to do so in a racially fair manner transformed the makeup of the state’s collegial bodies, Georgia has provided the setting for multiple cases that have defined the requirements to be met when designing districts. Other than the very first adjustments that occurred in the 1960s, changes in Georgia plans had to secure approval from the federal government pursuant to the Voting Rights Act. Also, the first four decades of the Redistricting Revolution occurred with a Democratic legislature and governor in place. Not surprisingly, the partisans in control of redistricting sought to protect their own and as that became difficult they employed more extreme measures. When in the minority, Republicans had no chance to enact plans on their own. Beginning in the 1980s and peaking a decade later, Republicans joined forces with black Democrats to devise alternatives to the proposals of white Democrats. The biracial, bipartisan coalition never had sufficient numbers to enact its ideas. After striking out in the legislature, African-Americans appealed to the U.S. Attorney General alleging that the plans enacted were less favorable to black interests than alternatives * Charles S. Bullock, III is a University Professor of Public and International Affairs at the University of Georgia where he holds the Richard B.

  • Air Force Air Refueling: the KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program
    Order Code RL34398 Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Updated June 23, 2008 William Knight, Christopher Bolkcom, and Daniel H. Else Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Air Force Air Refueling: The KC-X Aircraft Acquisition Program Summary KC-X is the first of three planned programs intended to recapitalize the Air Force’s air refueling fleet. Eventually, the KC-X program is expected to acquire 179 new, commercial off-the-shelf airliners modified to accomplish air refueling. The program is expected to cost approximately $35 billion. Both Boeing and a consortium consisting of Northrop Grumman and European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) — the parent company of Airbus — were in competition for KC-X. Boeing offered a variant of the 767-200, while Northrop Grumman submitted a version of the Airbus 330-200. On February 29, 2008, the Air Force awarded the KC-X contract to Northrop Grumman. The initial $12.1 billion KC-X contract covers purchase the first 68 KC-45s of the anticipated 179 aircraft. Boeing protested the Air Force’s decision to the Government Accountability Office (GAO). GAO announced its sustainment of the Boeing protest on June 18, 2008. Air Force in-flight aerial refueling aircraft, often referred to as “tankers,” provide both persistence and range to Department of Defense (DOD) fighters, bombers, airlift and surveillance aircraft. As such, the Air Force’s tanker fleet greatly multiplies the effectiveness of DOD air power across the continuum of military operations. Today, the KC-135, which makes up the preponderance of the Air Force’s tanker force, is among the Air Force’s oldest aircraft.

Bill Young Hall. The first was donated by the Clearwater Chapter of the Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW). At an Air Force ROTC Leadership Lab on September 13, 2012, Gerald C. “Bud” Berry, Army Air Corps, World War II veteran, led a group of MOWW Clearwater Chapter members to present a framed print of “The Eagle’s Nest—The Band of Brothers and the War’s Last Prize”. The John Shaw print depicts E Compa- ny, 101st Airborne Division celebrating the end of World War II at the Eagle’s Nest. The MOWW supports the ROTC programs every year with “Award of Merit” medals to outstanding cadets. On December 5, 2013, Bill and Suzy Eickhoff presented the JMLC with a framed printed copy of famed aviation artist Sam Lyon's "Angels Over Annapolis". The Eickhoffs have been big supporters of USF Athletics over the years and were thrilled to have this opportunity to contrib- ute to our facility.
