Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

  • First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency
    First Ladies and American Women: Representation in the Modern Presidency Jill Abraham Hummer Winchester. Virginia Master of Arts. University of Virginia. 2003 Bachelor of Arts, Allegheny College. 2000 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia May 2007 11 -Abstract- This dissertation examines the American First Ladies' performanceas a representative from 1920 through the present. I argue that representing women has been one oftheir most important representative tasks. This project applies Hanna Fenichel Pitkin's concepts of representation to reach new conclusions about First Ladies' contributions to the presidency. Drawing on presidency research, as well as women and politics and gender studies literature, this project posits a developmental theory concerning the origin and evolution oftheir representative roles. The implications of their women-focused political representation are analyzed through the concepts oftransgendering and : -i regendering. First Ladies' performanceas a representative has been expressed through several concrete roles. Chapter One examines the work of candidates' wives in reaching out to women voters. Chapter Two focuseson First Ladies acting for women as public liaisons. Chapter Three considers First Ladies' attempts to integrate women into national economic policy and programs through their roles as homemakers and consumers. Chapter Four evaluates First Ladies' lobbying and educative effortson behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment. And Chapter Five analyzes First Ladies' performanceas public diplomats to women abroad. Evidentiary support for this dissertation comes mainly fromprimary source materials contained within presidential library archives around the country. 111 -Table of Contents- Acknowledgments................................................

DESCRIPTORS *Diplomatic History: *Employment Practices; *Federal Government; *Females: Foreign Countries; Foreign Diplomats; *United States History; Nomens Studies; World Affairs ABSTRACT A history of the employment of womenin the Department of State and the Foreign Serviceis presented. Thirteen chapters consider the status cf American womenfrom 1776 to the present: women in the Departmentand at international conferences, 1800-1940; applicants and employees for overseaseuplcyment, 1851-1943: the Foreign Service examinations; theimpact of war on employing women; the postwar,pericd,1949-1970: and the present and future role of women in the Department of State. In summary,it was not until the Civi) War that the governmentbegan to hire women in full-time positions. Although men and women inthe Department of State received equal pay for equal work, men werepromoted more quickly than women. For the first 35 yearsall women in the Department filled clerical jots: in 1 909the first uoman Was appointed to a semiprofessional position. Today,the Department has a higher percentage of women at the senior, middle,junior, and support levels than the government as a whole. It hasbeen more difficult, however, fcr women in the ForeignService. The Department reluctantly allowed women to take Foreign Serviceexaminations in the 1920s.
