What can we do to improve our efforts? Please convey my thanks to the people in your District who have worked so hard in building up ' an efficient and effective organization. April 23, 1976 , KENTUCKY PFC got a late start in Kentucky. There is now an excellent team headed up by Hal Rogers and Huda Jones. National Committeeman Ed Middleton has been out in front for the President from the beginning and has been very effective in combating the Reagan forces in the State Executive Committee meetings. Congressman Tim Lee Carter is publicly supporting the President and made a public announcement on April 5th. PFC is running the campaigns in Tennessee and Kentucky in tandem because they are on the same day and the media from Tennessee will reach all of southern Kentucky. There are some reports that former Governor Nunn feels he may have jumped onto the Reagan bandwagon too soon. It is felt that we will do better in the delegate count than originally thought. 37 delegates • President Ford Committee 1828 L STREET, N.W., SUITE 250, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036 (202) 457-6400 RECOMMENDED TELEPHONE CALL FROM THE PRESIDENT ~ CJA1 rr!J TO MR.Attorney BOB LIST General in Nevada {f/~~r·_ ¥r.¥ (702) 885-4170 - office (702) 882-3165 - home DATE Thursday, May ~;/Cternoon (office) evening (ho e) qf.

    Governor Brown's Transportation Funding Plan

    Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan This proposal is a balance of new revenue and reasonable reforms to ensure efficiency, accountability and performance from each dollar invested to improve California’s transportation system. Governor Brown’s Transportation Funding Plan Frequently Asked Questions This proposal is a combination of new revenue and reform with measurable targets for improvements including regular reporting, streamlined projects with exemptions for infrastructure repairs and flexibility on hiring for new workload. How much does this program provide overall for transportation improvements? • Over the next decade, the Governor’s Transportation Funding Plan provides an estimated $36 billion in funding for transportation, with an emphasis on repairing and maintaining existing transportation infrastructure and a commitment to repay an additional $879 million in outstanding loans. How much does it require the average vehicle owner in California to pay? • The proposal equates to roughly 25-cents per motorist per day according to the Department of Finance. The latest TRIP* study released, and subsequent article in the Washington Post, showed that Californians spend on average $762 annually on vehicle repair costs due to wear and tear / road conditions, etc. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/ wp/2015/06/25/why-driving-on-americas-roads-can-be-more-expensive-than-you-think/ A figure that should go down significantly with improved road conditions. How will the program improve transportation in California over the next decade? • Within 10 years, with this plan, the state has made a commitment to get our roadways up to 90% good condition. Today, 41% of our pavement is either distressed or needs preventative maintenance.

    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries

    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals.

Since 1983, Make-A-Wish San Diego has granted over 4,600 life-changing wishes for children in San Diego and Imperial Counties. At Make-A-Wish, the goal is simple: to come into a child’s life during a difficult time and provide hope and a much-needed break from the daily challenges they are forced to face. A wish can provide experiences that money just can’t buy. A wish has the power to change a child’s mental state, provide desperately-needed respite for a family, and allow the child and his/her family to experience a sense of normalcy. We serve children from all areas of both San Diego and Imperial Counties and our demographics span every socio-economic and ethnic group. No eligible child is ever turned away, and a family’s financial status, race, or religion has no bearing on whether or not a child will receive a wish.

    Alumni Weekend 2016 Coast to Governor of California Governor of Rhode Island Edmund G. Brown Jr. ’64 Coast Gina Raimondo ’98 Alumni gathered in October to celebrate Yale Law School and honor governors from the boundaries of our nation. More than one thousand graduates returned to campus on October 21–23 for Alumni Weekend 2016. Though rain fell on and off through the weekend, nothing could dampen the spirits of those reconnecting with their classmates and school. The centerpiece of the weekend was the Award of Merit presentation on Saturday, October 22, with Governor of California Edmund G. Brown Jr. ’64 and Governor of Rhode Island Gina Raimondo ’98 receiving the honor. Photos by Harold Shapiro Harold by Photos 38 39 yale law report winter 2017 Dean Robert C. Post ’77, in his remarks introducing the honorees, reminded the audience that there is reason for profound hope. “You simply need to know where to look. In Rhode Island, there is hope. And, in California, there is hope. Today we honor those who have the courage both to listen and to lead, and so to sustain the possibility of faith in our future,” Post said. Governor Brown recalled fond memories of his time at Yale Law School and Professor Fritz Kessler introducing the idea of the rule and the counter rule. “Yale Law School is an elegant place,” Brown said. “I think tradition is profoundly important. And, yes, we need change, but we need continuity. We need rigor, but we need imagination. If all we have is rigor, we have paralytic death.
