The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:50 a.m., in the com- mittee room, New House Office Building, Hon. Wayne N. Aspinall, chairman of the committee, presiding. Mr. ASPINALL. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs will now be in session for such business as is regularly calendared to come before us. Before we begin our hearing this morning I think it well that the committee pay recognition to the fact that we have lost one of the able members of this committee. I refer to the passing of our colleague, Mr. George Christopher, and unless there is an objection, when we adjourn this meeting this morning we shall adjourn the meeting, and the record will show that we adjourned, out of respect to our colleague. Hearing no objection, it is so ordered. The Secretary of the the Interior is here this morning with his staff from the Office of Territories. The reason that we have not called the Secretary and his staff members before the committee in formal session as we usually do in the beginning of a session of Congress is that we are giving first priority to the legislation now before the committee. Mr. Secretary, we shall ask you and your staff members to appear before the committee when we get through with this task which we have calendared at this time. The Chair desires to state that he wishes that the consideration of H.R. 50 and kindred bills will be handled expeditiously and com- pletely, at least as completely as reasonably possible. Those of us who have for many, many years supported legislation granting the status of statehood to Alaska and Hawaii are pleased with the first goal which we reached which was the granting of statehood to Alaska. Now let us proceed together toward the second-statehood for Hawaii-with a like dedication to our task. Let unhampered and constructive debate prevail at our proceedings. Write a record so that future generations may know that we understand the importance of the task we now undertake. Above all things, especially in this committee and while we control the legislation, may we committee members keep party partisanship at a minimum, and, if possible, remove it from our deliberations en- tirely, because this matter is a nonpartisan or rather a bipartisan matter. I wish to thank Delegate Burns for the outstanding spirit of coop- eration which he has shown. It took an understanding, a trusting, a STATEHOOD FOR HAWAII dedicated person to wait as he has for action on this legislation which means so much to the people of Hawaii. I sincerely hope that now that the hour of fulfillment for all the people of Hawaii is close at hand, that the galaxy of stars in our flag shall be filled to its presently anticipated completion. The procedure to be followed in the consideration of the legislation now before us has been agreed upon by the distinguished gentleman from New York, Mr. O'Brien, chairman of the Subcommittee on Ter- ritories and Insular Affairs and myself. Mr. O'Brien provided able and effective leadership in the fight for statehood for Alaska. His zeal in that task was second to none in the Congress of the United States. He stands likewise dedicated to securing the status of statehood for Hawaii. It is given to but few men to be privileged to be a leader in two such endeavors. Recognizing his ability and his right and honest ambition to as- sume such leadership, I am now appointing him as acting chairman of our committee for the hearings on H.R. 50 and kindred bills and the marking up of these bills. I also request that he prepare for and file with the House the com- mittee report showing the action of this committee on the legislation now before us. I request that the gentleman from New York, Mr. O'Brien, take the chair. Mr. O'BRnEN (presiding). Mr. Chairman, may I say at the out- set that I appreciate what you have just done. I think that there are few men in Congress, chairmen of powerful committees such as this, that would step aside in connection

FISCH Emergency in the Constitutional Law of the United States In the following report I shall concentrate on the law as pro- nounced by the United States Supreme Court, which has, within the sphere of judicial competence, the last say on the interpretation of the Constitution. The volume of significant litigation on the subject which stops below the Supreme Court has been relatively light, and the constitutional law declared by the lower courts has played a less significant role than is the case in many other issues. Indeed, as we shall see, the Supreme Court itself has had less to say on the topic than might be hoped for. I shall try to indicate the main lines of scholarly debate, which is vast in quantity, if not always in insight; but it must be said that in constitutional law as a whole, and in this area in particular, the influence of scholarly opinion on the behavior of governments and courts has been less than may be observed in other fields of American law.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • RICE V. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR of HAWAII Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
    528US2 Unit: $U29 [06-15-01 20:43:16] PAGES PGT: OPIN OCTOBER TERM, 1999 495 Syllabus RICE v. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR OF HAWAII certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit No. 98–818. Argued October 6, 1999—Decided February 23, 2000 The Hawaiian Constitution limits the right to vote for nine trustees chosen in a statewide election. The trustees compose the governing authority of a state agency known as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, or OHA. The agency administers programs designed for the benefit of two sub- classes of Hawaiian citizenry, “Hawaiians” and “native Hawaiians.” State law defines “native Hawaiians” as descendants of not less than one-half part of the races inhabiting the islands before 1778, and “Ha- waiians”—a larger class that includes “native Hawaiians”—as descend- ants of the peoples inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. The trust- ees are chosen in a statewide election in which only “Hawaiians” may vote. Petitioner Rice, a Hawaiian citizen without the requisite ancestry to be a “Hawaiian” under state law, applied to vote in OHA trustee elections. When his application was denied, he sued respondent Gover- nor (hereinafter State), claiming, inter alia, that the voting exclusion was invalid under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The Federal District Court granted the State summary judgment. Survey- ing the history of the islands and their people, it determined that Con- gress and Hawaii have recognized a guardian-ward relationship with the native Hawaiians, which is analogous to the relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. It examined the voting qualifica- tions with the latitude applied to legislation passed pursuant to Con- gress’ power over Indian affairs, see Morton v.

  • The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy
    N 1956, AT THE TENDER AGE OF THIRTY-TWO, Frank Church made a bold bid for the United States Senate. After squeak- I ing out a victory in the hotly contested Idaho Democratic pri- mary, Church faced down incumbent Senator Herman Welker, re- ceiving nearly percent of the vote. One issue that loomed over the campaign was an emerging dis- pute over building dams in the Snake River’s Hells Canyon. While Church and other Democrats supported the construction of a high federal dam in the Idaho gorge, their Republican opponents favored developing the resource through private utility companies. Idaho EVOLUTION voters split on the issue, and so, seeking to avoid a divisive debate, Church downplayed his position during the general election “be- of an cause it was not a winning issue, politically.”1 Senator Frank Church Although Church won the election, he could not escape the is- sue. Indeed, his victory and subsequent assignment to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs put him at the center of a growing controversy about damming Hells Canyon. Over the next eighteen years, Church wrestled with balancing Idaho’s demand for economic growth and his own pro-development beliefs with an emerging environmental movement’s demand for preservation of nature—in Idaho and across the nation. As he grappled with these competing interests, Church under- went a significant transformation. While Church often supported development early in his Senate career, he, like few others of his time, began to see the value of wild places and to believe that rivers offered more than power production opportunities and irrigation water.
