Michael K. Deaver MICHAEL K. DEAVER: The concept of the Manhattan Project had, to reach President Roosevelt from Alexaneer Sachsi over the heads of all of his closest nationa security and military advisors. This concept has to reach President Reagan, over the heads of the National Security Council. We have condensed 30 years study into an hour-long audio-visual briefing. Two hours is minimum to set aside. I will make the briefing available to you personally any time ofi day, evening or week­ end, any place you select, for you to decide if it warrants the personal attention of the President. Howard G. Kurtz Attached excerpt from October 27,1983 issue of ROLLING STONE appeared on Washington news stands day before yesterday. The article by William Greider, former Assistant Managing Editor of the WASHINGTON ~~~ith our efforts to help the President. ••a•• SPECIAL DELIVERY \\'Al~ c:c>NTl~()I. 1>1.;.\NNIEl~S' INC:. October 21 Box 19121 Washington,D.C. 20036 1983 202/785-0708 My previous attempts to help President Reagan by writing to you December 31,1981, June 13,1982, and February 14,1983 failed to earn your personal attention. Time may be running out and this is one more, final, attempt. Soon it may be too late. Hon. Michael K. Deaver The White House cc: Mr. Larry Speakes Assistant to the President Dear Michael K. Deaver: Press Affairs A war is not lost on the battlefield. It is lost long in advance in the mind of one person, the Commander-in-Chief .•• the Napoleon, the Hitler, the President of the United States totally unfamiliar with the character and magnitude of approaching world chaos, waiting for the National Security Council Staff to bring him the right script. With Judge William P. Clark, a man of vast integrity and loyalty to the President, completely unfamiliar with the utter complexity of the global crisis, no creative concepts have eeen able to reach the mind of President Reagan. Eleanor Roosevelt cautioned my late wife Harriet and me that breakthrough strategic power concepts can never move upwards in a political chain-of-command, and that the concept of the Manhattan Project had to reach President Roosevelt over the heads of all of his closest national security, military and foreign affairs advisors. That is why I have tried to break through to you, with conclusions from our thirty year new-depth study of the endless cycle of WAR-PEACE-WAR-PEACE-WAR-PEACE-WAR which has plagued all human history, and once again is epidemic and threatening the future of humankind. At Pearl Harbor Japan illustrated that a nation ( the U.S.) threatened by foreign military power1 in its anxiety willingly turns itself over to an authoritarian leader(Roosevelt) and willingly suffers and sacrifices to follow his leadership. Every U.S. initiative developed by the National Security Council for a generation for Presidential action has further threatened the Soviet people, causing them te turn themselves over more completely to their leader in the Kremlin, and to suffer and scarifice to fight back. Every Soviet defensive expansion has increased the threat to the U.S. and has increased budgets to expand U.S. global military power. Presidential advisors in this field come mostly from financial/industrial/military interests prospering from the Kremlin expansion. Today every new initiative by President Reagan not only threatens the Soviet people, but threatens the future of the people of all 157 nations. The President has been led by inadequate advice, into a deadly, dead-end strategic trap. In their anxiety the American people are now destroying themselves in the destructive debates among the "DIS-ARMERS" the "RE-ARMERS" and the "FREEZERS". There are initiatives the President, personally, could take which would place him in orbit as the Great World Statesman of history. These initiatives have been blocked and killed in the National Security Council for nearly twenty years. We invested ~_r_:~,......... than thirty years and somewhat more than available resources in the study. ~·~I1 CONTRIBUTIONS DEDUCTIBLE FOR INCOME, GIFT OR ESTATE TAX PURPOSES HOWARD G.

  • Voting Representation in Congress: an Analysis of Legislative Proposals
    Order Code RL33830 District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Updated January 30, 2007 Eugene Boyd Analyst Government and Finance Division District of Columbia Voting Representation in Congress: An Analysis of Legislative Proposals Summary This report provides a summary and analysis of legislative proposals that would provide voting representation in Congress to residents of the District of Columbia. Since the issue of voting representation for District residents was first broached in 1801, Congress has considered five legislative options: (1) seek voting rights in Congress by constitutional amendment, (2) retrocede the District to Maryland (retrocession), (3) allow District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate (semi-retrocession), (4) grant the District statehood, and (5) define the District as a state for the purpose of voting for federal office (virtual statehood). During the 109th Congress, several bills were introduced to provide voting representation in Congress for District residents, but none passed. The bills were of the following three types: (1) measures providing a single vote for the District in the House by increasing the number of House seats by two, one for the District and one for Utah, H.R. 2043 and H.R. 5388; (2) a measure allowing District residents to vote in Maryland for their representatives to the House and Senate, H.R. 190 (semi- retrocession); and (3) measures granting the District full voting rights in Congress (one Representative and two Senators), H.R. 398 and S. 195. (Note: based on 2000 Census data Utah is next in line to gain an additional seat if the total number of congressional seats were increased by one to 436.

  • Us Marines, Manhood, and American Culture, 1914-1924
    THE GLOBE AND ANCHOR MEN: U.S. MARINES, MANHOOD, AND AMERICAN CULTURE, 1914-1924 by MARK RYLAND FOLSE ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR DANIEL RICHES LISA DORR JOHN BEELER BETH BAILEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Mark Ryland Folse 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that between 1914 and 1924, U.S. Marines made manhood central to the communication of their image and culture, a strategy that underpinned the Corps’ effort to attract recruits from society and acquire funding from Congress. White manhood informed much of the Marines’ collective identity, which they believed set them apart from the other services. Interest in World War I, the campaigns in Hispaniola, and the development of amphibious warfare doctrine have made the Marine Corps during this period the focus of traditional military history. These histories often neglect a vital component of the Marine historical narrative: the ways Marines used masculinity and race to form positive connections with American society. For the Great War-era Marine Corps, those connections came from their claims to make good men out of America’s white youngsters. This project, therefore, fits with and expands the broader scholarly movement to put matters of race and gender at the center of military history. It was along the lines of manhood that Marines were judged by society. In France, Marines came to represent all that was good and strong in American men.
