    RHODE ISLAND RIVERS COUNCIL HISTORICAL OUTLINE 1989-1990: Lieutenant Governor's Task Force on Rivers, Final Report & Recommendations, 58 pages, February, 1990. 1991-2000: Governor Bruce Sundlun inaugurated January 1, 1991. General Assembly created RI Rivers Council (RC) – RI General Law 46-28. Kenneth Payne became RC chair. Statewide Planning Program provides staff support to RC. RC concluded in 1992 that "more effective integration of existing programs and authority for rivers is needed." RC formulated draft classifications for rivers in 1993. RC held four workshops in northern, central, southern and eastern RI in 1994 to refine draft river classifications. Governor Lincoln Almond inaugurated January 1, 1995. Michael Cassidy, Planner for the City of Pawtucket, became RC chair. RC, working with the Divison of Planning, created digital maps of the state's watersheds. The State Planning Council adopted the RI Rivers Policy and Classification Plan, in January 1998, as State Guide Plan Element 162. RC established policies for recognizing local watershed councils in 1998. The Blackstone, Saugatucket and Wood-Pawcatuck were first river systems to have watershed councils designated by RC. Note: Designated watershed councils have certain legal authority and standing to represent their water bodies in state and local jurisdictions as well as be eligible for state grants via RC. 2001-2007: Meg Kerr became RC chair. General Assembly commences in 2001 providing annual legislative grants to RC from $22,000 to $52,000 range. Annual grant rounds commence from RC to designated local watershed councils generally in $2,500 to $7,500 range from Fiscal Year 2002 to the present.

The new funding would help remedy the $158 million road maintenance backlog faced by world’s largest network of lands dedicated to wildlife. Under the Federal Land Highways Program of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), the reauthorization bill, S. 1173, provides for $20 million in new funding for wildlife refuge roads each year for the next 5 years. “The Senate’s action recognizes the important role the National Wildlife Refuge System plays in safeguarding America’s magnificent wildlife resources,” said Jamie Rappaport Clark, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency responsible for managing the 92-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System. “I applaud the Senate’s efforts to addressthe maintenance needs of the National Wildlife Refuge System,” said Director Clark. “I also want to recognize the tremendous leadership of SenatorsJohn Chafee and Max Baucus in making sure the legislation addressedthese needs. Receiving this funding under the Federal Lands Highways Program would help us ensure safe and accessible roads for the 30 million Americans who visit national wildlife refuges each year. It would also allow the Fish and Wildlife Service to target limited resources toward vital wildlife conservation programs on refuges.” (over) AMERICA’S NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES... wherewddkfe comes wzt~~dly! -2- More than 4,200 miles of public roads and 424 bridges are contained in the 5 14 wildlife refuges and 38 wetland management districts making up the National Wildlife Refuge System.

  • Examining the Role of Political Language in Rhode Island's Health Care Debate
    1 THE RHETORIC OF REFORM: EXAMINING THE ROLE OF POLITICAL LANGUAGE IN RHODE ISLAND’S HEALTH CARE DEBATE A dissertation presented by Kevin P. Donnelly to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Public and International Affairs Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August 2009 2 THE RHETORIC OF REFORM: EXAMINING THE ROLE OF POLITICAL LANGUAGE IN RHODE ISLAND’S HEALTH CARE DEBATE by Kevin P. Donnelly ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public and International Affairs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Northeastern University, August 2009 3 ABSTRACT Political language refers to the way in which public policy issues are portrayed, discussed, and ultimately perceived by the community at large. Focusing specifically on two case studies in Rhode Island—the efforts of two policy entrepreneurs to enact comprehensive health care reform, and Governor Donald Carcieri’s successful pursuit of a Medicaid “Global Waiver”—this thesis begins with a description of the social, political, and economic contexts in which these debates took root. Using a “framework of analysis” developed for this thesis, attention then centers on the language employed by the political actors involved in advancing health care reform, along with the response of lawmakers, organized interests, and the public. A major finding is that the use of rhetoric has been crucial to the framing of policy alternatives, constituency building, and political strategy within Rhode Island’s consideration of health care reform.

  • The Future of Life
    Second Annual John H. Chafee Memorial Lecture on Science and the Environment The Future of Life Dr. Edward O. Wilson Pellegrino University Research Professor, Harvard University December 6, 2001 THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT (NCSE) has been working since 1990 to improve the scientific basis of environmental decisionmaking and has earned an impressive reputa- tion for objectivity, responsibility, and achievement. The Council envisions a society where environmental decisions are based on an accurate understanding of the underlying science, its meaning, and its limitations. In such a society, citizens and decisionmakers receive accurate, understandable, and integrated science-based information. They understand the risks, uncertainties, and potential consequences of their action or inaction. Supported by over 500 academic, scientific, environmental, and business organizations, and federal, state, and local government, NCSE works closely with the many communities creating and using environmental knowledge to make and shape environmental decisions. The Council operates a range of innovative activities in the areas of: Promoting Science for the Environment The Council played an instrumental role in stimulating the National Science Foundation initiative to triple its annual budget for environmental research, education, and scientific assessment. The Council presents expert testimony to Congressional committees, consults regularly with key decisionmakers in government, and works to promote funding for environmental programs at numerous federal agencies. Enhancing Programs at Institutions of Higher Learning NCSE brings members of the academic community together to improve their environmental programs and increase their value to society through the University Affiliate Program, the Council of Environ- mental Deans and Directors, and the Minority Programs Office.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, 1987 - 2007 Few endeavors survive the departure or demise of their creators. Unless firmly rooted in the needs of a constituency, the growth and ongoing development of a community organization may only last a short while. So it is with tremendous respect for the enduring value of Harriet Walzer Sheridan’s vision for professional development in higher education at Brown, that we salute the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Sheridan Center. Her vision continues to inspire a growing cohort of faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, at Brown, across the country and internationally, to challenge themselves to think substantively about the purpose of education in a complex global environment. The endowment of the Sheridan Center by Frederick Lippitt is a testament to the commitment by both Dean Sheridan and Mr. Lippitt to the value of education in a democratic society and the need to support the professional development of its faculty, present and future. —5— A Definition of the Purpose of Education The origins of the Harriet W.
