Ford (CVN 78), Please accept our heartiest gratitude and congratulations on the commissioning of USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), America’s newest aircraft carrier and aircraft carrier class. This is the largest and most significant tribute ever bestowed upon President Ford, and it is one for which he is richly deserving. The Ford will defend America and her allies for decades, as will her fellow Ford Class carriers well into the Twenty- Second Century. Through the generosity and tireless efforts of thousands of Americans from coast to coast, the Commissioning Committee raised $6.5 million for the Ford and her crews. The amount raised is unprecedented for any commissioning. The outpouring of support is a shining honor to President Ford and his extraordinary legacy of Integrity At The Helm. The funds will support the Ford and the tens of thousands of sailors who will serve aboard her. The Committee has already delivered and placed into service signifi- cant accessions to the ship, and plans for additional accessions are underway. On behalf of all of us on the Commissioning Committee and our Navy League partners, thank you for making CVN 78’s Commissioning Weekend and this extraordi- nary tribute to President Ford a reality. May God bless and watch over the USS Gerald R. Ford, those who built her, and all those who will serve aboard her. And may His light shine upon President Gerald Ford and Betty Ford and the nation they loved so dearly. Sincerely yours, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) Commissioning Committee Susan Ford Bales, Ship Sponsor ________________________ ______________________ Gregory D. Willard, Douglas L.

    Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of History Jacqueline Jones, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Joseph Brown July 2008 Copyright by Joseph Brown July 2008 ABSTRACT Ronald Reagan, SDI, and the Nuclear Freeze: Reordering the Ethics of Mass Destruction A master’s thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts by Joseph Brown By proposing the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Ronald Reagan co-opted the rhetoric of the nuclear freeze movement and reversed the relationship that had previously existed between himself and his anti-nuclear opponents. Prior to Reagan’s announcement of SDI, the nuclear freeze movement played the role of the ethically principled critic, denouncing Reagan for perpetuating the nuclear arms race and the policy of Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). By adopting a proposal for space-based missile defenses, Reagan took on the role of the peace-loving nuclear critic. The Strategic Defense Initiative eclipsed the ethical appeals of the nuclear freeze movement, promising the eventual abolition of nuclear weapons. Ironically, the nuclear freeze movement found itself promoting MAD, because its own proposal to halt the arms race would do nothing to change the dynamic of offensive nuclear deterrence between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although Reagan openly advocated the expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, he was able to justify his strategic modernization plan as a temporary measure, necessary to preserve America’s security until his missile shield could be put in place.

NEW JERSEY ... “TYPHOON COBRA,” DECEMBER 18, 1944 - Thousands of US sailors serving aboard the 130 plus ships of Task Force 38, rode out a terrible storm on December 18, 1944, and it is sadly remembered today as “Typhoon Cobra.” This storm resulted in 3 capsized destroyers, the loss of 790 men, the total destruction of 146 badly needed combat aircraft, and brought crippling dam- age to many ships. Especially hard hit were the CVL’s (Light Aircraft Carriers,) and CVE’s (Escort Carriers.) At the time, USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) was serving as fleet flagship for Task Force 38, and was under the command of Admiral William “Bull” Halsey. Today, as The Jerseyman commemorates this tragic World War 2 event, we are privileged to include stories of the storm as it was experienced by many of the sailors who were there. During our typhoon research, we were also fortunate to have had contact with Mr. Richard A. Strand, brother of lost USS SPENCE crewman Robert L. Strand. Mr. Strand has compiled an extensive amount of material about his brother’s ship. He graciously shared this information with The Jerseyman, and for many years, has offered his efforts at no cost, to the families of USS SPENCE crewmen. Along with the USS SPENCE’s history, his research contains many operating charts for the ship, and an excerpt from the Presidential Unit Citation (PUC), that USS SPENCE had received as part of Arleigh Burke’s famous “Little Beaver” Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 23.

    The Case of Chemical Safety Regulation

    \\server05\productn\N\NYU\85-6\NYU605.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-NOV-10 16:29 NATIONAL SECURITY PREEMPTION: THE CASE OF CHEMICAL SAFETY REGULATION MICHAEL JO* In 2006, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asserted federal preemption of state law governing the security of chemical facilities. The continuing controversy over chemical security preemption reveals one way in which executive power asserts itself in the national security context: the reclassification of seemingly domestic reg- ulatory concerns as matters of national security and the consequent constriction of state regulatory authority. This Note analyzes the DHS’s chemical security regula- tions as a case study for the problem of national security preemption. It argues that the presumption of federal supremacy in foreign affairs can ratify conclusory and unsupported preemption claims because the national security interest mixes both foreign and domestic affairs, while the only doctrinal guidance for defining that interest comes from contested foreign affairs preemption doctrines. The Note pro- poses that, if strengthened, deference doctrines drawn from administrative law pro- vide the best means of scrutinizing and limiting such claims of executive authority. Agency claims of preemption on the basis of national security should be subject to heightened scrutiny. Such scrutiny is more useful than the stalemated positions of the law and security debate for policing the state-federal divide in national security. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, forced Americans to confront
