    Richard Russell, the Senate Armed Services Committee & Oversight of America’S Defense, 1955-1968

    BALANCING CONSENSUS, CONSENT, AND COMPETENCE: RICHARD RUSSELL, THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE & OVERSIGHT OF AMERICA’S DEFENSE, 1955-1968 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joshua E. Klimas, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Stebenne, Advisor Professor John Guilmartin Advisor Professor James Bartholomew History Graduate Program ABSTRACT This study examines Congress’s role in defense policy-making between 1955 and 1968, with particular focus on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), its most prominent and influential members, and the evolving defense authorization process. The consensus view holds that, between World War II and the drawdown of the Vietnam War, the defense oversight committees showed acute deference to Defense Department legislative and budget requests. At the same time, they enforced closed oversight procedures that effectively blocked less “pro-defense” members from influencing the policy-making process. Although true at an aggregate level, this understanding is incomplete. It ignores the significant evolution to Armed Services Committee oversight practices that began in the latter half of 1950s, and it fails to adequately explore the motivations of the few members who decisively shaped the process. SASC chairman Richard Russell (D-GA) dominated Senate deliberations on defense policy. Relying only on input from a few key colleagues – particularly his protégé and eventual successor, John Stennis (D-MS) – Russell for the better part of two decades decided almost in isolation how the Senate would act to oversee the nation’s defense.

The goal of the War on Poverty is to eradicate the causes of poverty by creating job opportunities, increasing productivity, and enhancing the quality of life. Watch this historic State of the Union Address. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 is enacted and includes programs such as: Job Corps, Urban/Rural Community Action, VISTA, Project Head Start and many more. Watch Small Miracles, a short video about these programs. Case for Early Education: As a former teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Texas, President Johnson believes strongly that education was the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Moreover, child development experts have found that early intervention programs could significantly affect the cognitive and socio-emotional development of low-income children. State of the Union, 1964 1965 Cooke Report: Dr. Robert Cooke sets up a steering committee of specialists to discuss how to give disadvantaged children a "head start." The committee develops recommendations that feature comprehensive education, health, nutrition and social services, and significant parent involvement. Read the Cooke Report [PDF, 47KB]. Head Start Launch: On May 18, President Lyndon B. Johnson officially announces Project Head Start from the White House Rose Garden. Head Start launches in the summer of 1965, serving more than 560,000 children and families across America in an eight-week summer program through Head Start Child Development Centers throughout the United States.

    Closing Session: Reflections of the History of Head Start Research

    4 Million and Counting: Reflections on 40 Years of Head Start Research in Support of Children and Families Presenter: John M. Love 1965--41 years ago. It’s hard to remember what an amazingly eventful year 1965 was: On January 4, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed the Great Society in his State of the Union address. In February, the U.S. began bombing North Vietnam in operation Rolling Thunder. On Feb. 2, Malcolm X was assassinated. March 7 became known as “Bloody Sunday,” when civil rights marchers began their trek from Selma to Montgomery and were violently confronted by state troopers. A month later, in a one-room schoolhouse in Texas, President Johnson signed into law the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which we all know in its latest incarnation as No Child Left Behind. On August 11, the Watts riots began. That year, in Britain, Winston Churchill died—and J. K. Rowling was born. And at the Grammies, Mary Poppins won best recording for children. So with a spoonful of sugar and a ton of sweat and tears, a vast new program for children and families was underway. Within 3 years, Donald Rumsfeld, the new head of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) would have Head Start as part of his responsibility, guiding the country through an early phase of a different war—the War on Poverty. Research began immediately. One of the first studies in the new Head Start context is a dissertation by an enterprising young University of Chicago doctoral candidate, Diana Slaughter, who investigated the maternal antecedents of African American Head Start children’s academic achievement.

    Item 6 CITY COUNCll REPORT Meeting Date: June 30, 2020 General Plan Element: Neighborhoods General Plan Goal: Preserve and enhance the unique sense of neighborhood ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 11810 authorizing Contract No. 2020-087-COS a revocable license agreement with Maricopa County, to use space at Paiute Neighborhood Center to operate the Head Start and Early Head Start Programs. BACKGROUND Head Start was established in 1965 as part of Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty". It began as an eight-week summer program to prepare low-income children for elementary school. The program expanded as a result of the Head Start Act of 1981; more recently under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act added over 64,000 slots to the Early Head Start and Head Start programs. Head Start is a federally funded program that is currently administered by the Administration of Children and Families (ACF) within the US Department of Health and Human Services. Maricopa County operates a Head Start preschool for children ages 3 and 4 years old and an Early Head Start program for children under 3 years old. Both programs focus on comprehensive early childhood development consisting of education, health, nutrition, and social services to low-income children and their families. The Program helps meet the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical growth needs of children by monitoring progress while and preparing them for kindergarten. The City of Scottsdale and Maricopa County have collaborated to provide a Head Start Program using City playground and classroom facilities at Paiute Neighborhood Center since 1996. ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT The federal government's initial implementation of the Head Start and Early Head Start programs was influenced by the effects of poverty and its impact on education.
