CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy. -

Guide to Foreign Relations Materials in the Manuscripts and Archives Collections of the Kansas State Historical Society
Guide to Foreign Relations Materials in the Manuscripts and Archives Collections of the Kansas State Historical Society Compiled by Michael A. Church Topeka, Kan.: Kansas State Historical Society, 2005 This guide summarizes those manuscripts and state archives collections containing materials related to U. S. foreign relations, international politics, and foreign affairs that are currently in the possession of the Kansas State Historical Society. The manuscripts collection contains the unpublished papers of individuals, businesses and organizations, and includes the congressional records of many former U. S. senators and representatives. The Kansas State Archives holds the non-active records of state government, including the records of most Kansas governors. The guide is intended to embrace “foreign relations” in its broadest sense. The collections cited include materials on relations between American and foreign individuals and businesses in addition to relations between U.S. and foreign governments. The guide also includes materials on past and present U.S. territories, foreign nationals living within the United States, and domestic affairs that have influenced or reflected U.S. foreign policy. Many subjects traditionally associated with the American West, and falling within the normal scope of the Society’s mission, have not been included. This guide does not include materials on relations between the U.S. government and Native Americans (see the Guide to American Indian Materials in the Manuscripts Collection of the Kansas State Historical Society, available in the repository). Similarly, the guide does not include materials on the expansion of the western contiguous United States, even where international relations clearly exist (i.e. Mexico, Britain). -
32 Kansas History the “Russian” Adventures of Henry and Me: William Allen White and Henry Justin Allen in Stalin’S Russia by Norman E
William Allen White, editor and publisher, Emporia Gazette, 1929. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 39 (Spring 2016): 32-47 32 Kansas History The “Russian” Adventures of Henry and Me: William Allen White and Henry Justin Allen in Stalin’s Russia by Norman E. Saul he title of this article regarding the visits of the prominent Kansas editors and publishers William Allen White and Henry Justin Allen to Russia in 1933 paraphrases one of White’s best-known books, The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me. Published in 1918 as a semi fictionalized account of White and Allen’s 1917 visit to France, the work reflects the men’s experience as representatives of the American Red Cross. They were among the first on hand to welcome initial contingents of American troops to the Western Front of the Great War. In Martial Adventures, TWhite captured the tenor of the times, the pathos and horror of the war, with feeling, objectivity, and a sense of humor. He described, for example, the sound and shock of an incoming bombardment as being like picking up the Haynes’s hardware store down the street in Emporia, shaking it up, and dropping it back down.1 The book certified White’s reputation as a preeminent journalist and master teller of American life and experience at home and abroad. Henry Allen, White’s longtime friend and political alter ego, seemed to just be along for the ride in France. Allen stayed on with the Red Cross through 1918, however, and rode the publicity of White’s book to victory in the Kansas gubernatorial election in November 1918, thanks to White’s skillful campaign management in Allen’s absence. -

N.W. Washington, D.C. 20463 [email protected] Re: MUR 6942, In the Matter of the Commission on Presidential Debates, et al.. if Dear Ms. Hampton: We represent the Green Party of the United States and the Libertarian National Committee, Inc., the complainants in the above-referenced matter. We write to provide the Federal Election Commission with additional evidence based on events occurring after the Complaint was filed, which supports the Complaint. I On September 11,2014, Level the Playing Field and Dr. Peter Ackerman filed an administrative complaint with the Commission against the Commission on Presidential Debates ("CPD") and its leadership. The Commission designated the matter MUR 6869. On June 16, 2015 and June 18, 2015, respectively, the Green Party of the United States and the Libertarian National Committee submitted requests seeking to join the complaint in MUR 6869, or, in the alternative, seeking to file a new administrative complaint. The Commission designated that matter MUR 6942. The Commission subsequently dismissed the administrative complaint in MUR 6869, although it did not indicate whether that dismissal covered MUR 6942. The complaints in MURs 6869 and 6942 both allege that the CPD and its leadership, who are responsible for hosting the general election presidential debates, have violated FECA and the FEC's regulations governing debate sponsorship.
