    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYL\19-4\NYL402.txt unknown Seq: 1 3-JAN-17 6:55 THE SENATE IN TRANSITION OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE NUCLEAR OPTION1 William G. Dauster* The right of United States Senators to debate without limit—and thus to filibuster—has characterized much of the Senate’s history. The Reid Pre- cedent, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s November 21, 2013, change to a sim- ple majority to confirm nominations—sometimes called the “nuclear option”—dramatically altered that right. This article considers the Senate’s right to debate, Senators’ increasing abuse of the filibuster, how Senator Reid executed his change, and possible expansions of the Reid Precedent.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Charles Schultze, dated January 19, 2011.

White Lecture on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the late reporter and historian who created the style and set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage. White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Harvard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s scholarship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American‐supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Second World War and even wrote fiction. A lifelong student of American political leadership, White in 1959 sought support for a 20‐year research project, a retrospective of presidential campaigns.

    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MEMORANDUM FOR THE BRIEFING BOOK SUBJECT: PORTSMOUTH NEW HAMPSHIRE SHIPYARD AND NAVAL FACILITY POC: BILL WISECARVER I. PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD: The shipyard's mission over the past 50 years has been the design, construction and overhaul of submarines. It is one of three bases in the U.S. that has generations of highly skilled workers and managers in nuclear submarine technology. The shipyard is a leader in construction and overhaul of the Los Angeles Class (SSN 688) nuclear submarines. The shipyard is active in Research and Development in support of the SSN 21 and Centurion follow-on submarines. Unique capabilities include the Navy's primary certified Depot Overhaul Point for repair of submarine and surf ace craft transducers and hydrophones. It is the Navy's only designated submarine antenna repair facility. The Portsmouth Shipyard has been recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for its positive environmental programs. The Shipyard has had over 45 modernization programs since the mid-70's for a total of $154 million. There are only two other shipyards that have similar capabilities. They are Charleston, South Carolina and Mare Island, California. In 1990, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard conducted a Reduction-in- Force (RIF) that reduced the employment by 1400 persons. II. PORTSMOUTH SHIPYARD ECONOMIC IMPACT: **The averaqe employment in 1991: 7,505 employees with a payroll of $283 million (including $18 million in military pay). ** Total employment by State for 1991: Maine- 3,931; New Hampshire- 3,323; Massachusetts- 182 ** The shipyard purchased $70 million in goods and services (of this amount $38 million went to small businesses and $29 million went to local New England States).
