    Thomas Fitch Governor of the Colony of Connecticut, 1754-1766 Born: 1696, Norwalk, Connecticut College: Graduated from Yale in 1721 Political Party: No declared political party Offices: Norwalk Justice of Peace, 1727-1733, 1736-1737 Deputy, Connecticut General Assembly, 1726-1728, 1729-1731, 1772-1773 Assistant, Connecticut General Assembly, 1734-1736; 1740-1750 Deputy Governor, 1750-1754 Chief Justice, Connecticut Superior Court, 1750-1754 Governor, Colony of Connecticut, 1754-1766 Died: July 18, 1774, Norwalk, Connecticut Governor Thomas Fitch guided the Colony of Connecticut through the turbulent economic and political times before the Revolutionary War but never lived to see the colonies become an independent nation. Born in Norwalk, Connecticut about 16961, Thomas Fitch was the oldest son and the first child of Thomas Fitch and his first wife, Sarah (Boardman) Fitch. He was the fourth- generation "Thomas” in Connecticut, and is sometimes called "Thomas IV” . The Fitches were a wealthy and noble family of Bocking, Essex, England, from which Thomas IV's great-grandfather, Thomas I, emigrated to Connecticut with his mother and two brothers in the 1600's; Thomas I and his brother Joseph were among the founders of Norwalk. After early schooling in Norwalk, Thomas IV went to Yale to study law. He was there during a period when some Yale professors left the Congregational Church (the established church) for the Episcopalian Church, shocking the Congregational-based society of Connecticut. Even Thomas admitted to sympathizing with some Episcopalian teachings. After graduation he went on to obtain a Master's degree. In 1724, Thomas Fitch married Hannah Hall, born January 31, 1702 at New Haven, a daughter of Richard Hall and Hannah Miles.

  • 9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy—A Model for Congressional Oversight?
    9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy—A Model for Congressional Oversight? October 19, 2004 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32538 9/11 Commission Recommendations: Joint Committee on Atomic Energy Summary In its July 22, 2004, final report, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the “9/11 Commission”) proposed a five-part plan to build unity of effort across the U.S. government in fighting terrorism. The commission’s report includes specific recommendations for “centralizing and strengthening congressional oversight of intelligence and homeland security issues” including a recommendation that Congress consider creating a joint committee for intelligence, using the Joint Atomic Energy Committee as its model. Created in the wake of the explosion of the first atomic weapon in the summer of 1945, the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy (JCAE 1946-1977) has been described as one of the most powerful congressional committees in history. Congress gave the JCAE exclusive jurisdiction over “all bills, resolutions, and other matters” relating to civilian and military aspects of nuclear power, and made it the only permanent joint committee in modern times to have legislative authority. The panel coupled these legislative powers with exclusive access to the information upon which its highly secretive deliberations were based. As overseer of the Atomic Energy Commission, the joint committee was also entitled by statute to be kept “fully and currently informed” of all commission activities and vigorously exercised that statutory right, demanding information and attention from the executive branch in a fashion that arguably has no equivalent today.

  • John D Lane Presidential Politics
    "John D. Lane: Administrative Assistant to Senator Brien McMahon,” Oral History Interviews, October 12 and December 6, 2006, Senate Historical Office, Washington, D.C. PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS Interview #2 December 6, 2006 LANE: On the [General Douglas] MacArthur hearings—those hearings were very important because he was becoming a full-fledged candidate for president and was being backed by much of the right wing of the Republican party, and various influential newspapers. Newspapers in those days were so much more important in politics than they are today. I forgot to tell you that when McMahon used to travel around Connecticut, getting ready to campaign ahead of time, when we would go into a city he would always call on and chat with the political leaders. He would also visit the local newspaper and talk to the editor. Then he would do his thing at whatever the public gathering was, and then leave and go to the next town. But it was a regular practice that he would always call on the editor or publisher of the newspaper. As a result, he received a very good press, and most of the press was Republican in Connecticut, every one of the major papers was, except for the Hartford Times. RITCHIE: But they took him seriously. LANE: Yes, they took him seriously because he talked about serious matters. RITCHIE: His issues weren’t necessarily partisan. Nuclear policy wasn’t a partisan issues, and foreign policy at that point was bipartisan. LANE: To some extent. But Robert Taft was the Republican leader on foreign policy.

You can communicate with them by letter, e-mail, telephone, FAX, or a personal visit. Be brief; discuss only one or two issues. Write to each legislator individually and use your own words. Identify legislation by number or title, if possible. If you know the number, author or subject of a bill, a phone call to Hartford, (860) 240-0555, will get you information on bill status in minutes or visit the CT General Assembly website at www.cga.ct.gov and click on Search. Make your communications timely. Remember, the Connecticut General Assembly is a part-time legislature that begins its sessions early in the year and does not meet in the summer or fall. Influence legislative committees by testifying at their public hearings on proposed bills.
