  • Ford Newsletter April-May 1972
    April 3, 1972 HOUSE PASSES FAR-REACHING WATER POLLUTION CONTROL BILL After three days of debate and consideration of numerous amendments, the House last week approved a momentous $24.6 billion three-year water pollution control bill with authority tor a crash program to clean up the Great Lakes. I strongly supported the bill. I resurrected the special Great Lakes cleanup program after the Office of Management and Budget had shot it down by l eaving it out of the fiscal 1973 budget. In a colloquy on the House floor with Rep. Bob Jones, D-Ala. , floor manager of the bill, Rep. William Harsha, R-Ohio, senior Republican on the House Public Works Committee, and Rep. John Blatnlk~ D-Minn .• Committee chairman, I established the fact that there is ample authority in existing law and in the House bill to proceed with the Great Lakes crash cleanup program. Earlier r met vi th officials of the Environmental Protection Agency, who assured me there would be sufficient funds under the overall $24.6 billion authorization in the bill to take care of the Great Lakes program. I now will york on the House Appropriations Committee to obtain funds for a Great Lakes cleanup. The main thrust of the Great Lakes program is a $100 million attack on the problem of com­ bined sanitary and storm vater sewage. EPA wants the storm vater as well as the sanitary sewage treated before it flows into the Great Lakes . I aim to see that the program is launched. WATER POLLUTION CONTROL BILL IS LANDMARK LEGISLATION As Congressman Harsha remarked , "Anyone who thinks the House water pol lution control bill is \leak simply doesn't know what's in it.

Y .c. 10003 Associated with Students for a Democratic Society THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY: BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS by STEVE IvlAX The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party was founded April 26, 1964 in order to create an opportunity for meaningful political expres­ sion for the 438,000 adult Negro Mississippians ~ho traditionally have been denied this right. In-addition to being a political­ instrument, the FDP provides a focus for the coordination of civil rights activity in the state and around the country. Although its memters do not necessarily· think in the se -terms, the MFDP is the organization above all others whose work is most directly forcing a realignment within the Democratic Party. All individuals and organizations who understand that ' when the Negro is not free, then all are in chains; who realize that the present system of discrimi­ nation precludes the abolition of poverty, and who have an interest in t he destruction of the Dixiecrat-Republican alliance and the purging of the racists from the Democratic Party are poteptial allies of the MFDP. BACKGROUND INFORMATION- The Mississippi Democratic Party runs the state of Mississippi _wit h an iron hand·. It controls the legislative, executive and judicial be nches of the state government. Prior to the November, 1964 elec­ tion all 49 state Senators and all but one of the 122 Representa­ tives were Democrats.

  • Linda Melconian Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Linda Melconian Assistant Counsel and Legislative Assistant, Speaker Thomas P. (Tip) O’Neill of Massachusetts Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript June 7, 2018 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “One time, we were talking to other female Members and maybe there were three or four of us— two staff people and one or two Members. Male Members would come over to us and say, ‘Oh, what are you girls cooking up? Are you conspiring against us?’ . Three or more women . on the floor congregating—chatting—would cause concern among the male Members. Were we conspiring against them? What I found so fascinating about this experience is that years later, when I served in the Massachusetts senate [during] my freshman year, I was talking to two other female members. I had male state senators come up to us and say, ‘Are you three conspiring against us?’ I thought, ‘I can’t believe this. It’s happening here in Massachusetts years later—the same thing that happened on the House Floor in Washington.’” Linda Melconian June 7, 2018 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biography iv Interview One 1 Notes 55 Abstract Linda Melconian was a recent college graduate when Congressman Thomas P.
