Guide to Foreign Relations Materials in the Manuscripts and Archives Collections of the Kansas State Historical Society Guide to Foreign Relations Materials in the Manuscripts and Archives Collections of the Kansas State Historical Society Compiled by Michael A. Church Topeka, Kan.: Kansas State Historical Society, 2005 This guide summarizes those manuscripts and state archives collections containing materials related to U. S. foreign relations, international politics, and foreign affairs that are currently in the possession of the Kansas State Historical Society. The manuscripts collection contains the unpublished papers of individuals, businesses and organizations, and includes the congressional records of many former U. S. senators and representatives. The Kansas State Archives holds the non-active records of state government, including the records of most Kansas governors. The guide is intended to embrace “foreign relations” in its broadest sense. The collections cited include materials on relations between American and foreign individuals and businesses in addition to relations between U.S. and foreign governments. The guide also includes materials on past and present U.S. territories, foreign nationals living within the United States, and domestic affairs that have influenced or reflected U.S. foreign policy. Many subjects traditionally associated with the American West, and falling within the normal scope of the Society’s mission, have not been included. This guide does not include materials on relations between the U.S. government and Native Americans (see the Guide to American Indian Materials in the Manuscripts Collection of the Kansas State Historical Society, available in the repository). Similarly, the guide does not include materials on the expansion of the western contiguous United States, even where international relations clearly exist (i.e. Mexico, Britain). Also, material relating to a specific individual’s involvement in a foreign war is not included unless their participation impacted American foreign relations to an unusual degree or lends unique insight into those relations. Ind ividual collections range in size from one to thousands of boxes with varying levels of intellectual control. Folder-level descriptions exist for most collections, and item-level descriptions are available for a few others. Some collections may have only box-level descriptions. Subject-oriented finding aids are only available for portions of some collections. Researches are encouraged to use specific information (i.e. names and dates) to identify additional materials in portions of collections arranged alphabetically or chronologically. The records of many Kansas governors and U.S. senators and representatives from Kansas that are currently in the Society’s possession may not be represented here because of an inability to identify a substantive amount of relevant material. These collections may contain valuable, but still unidentified, materials on U. S. foreign relations and researchers are encouraged to explore these collections in addition to those represented in this guide. Finding aids for many of these additional collections are available in the repository. All microfilm is available through interlibrary loan (ILL) unless otherwise noted in the access or copying restrictions section. Description of entries: COLLECTION TITLE. If the co llection consists of the papers of an individual, the person’s name and dates of birth and death, if known, are included. If a woman, her maiden name may be included if known. For collections of governor’s records, the person’s given name is preceded by the title abbreviation Gov . Government records consisting of one series are listed by their series title. TYPE OF MATERIAL . Collections are described by the generic terms Papers , Records , or Collection . Papers signifies documents generated by or around an individual. Records signifies documents generated by or around a business, organization, or government office or agency. C ollection signifies a fairly uniform group of documents or artificially- assembled types of materials. INCLUSIVE DATES . The abbreviation n.d., no date, is used for undated materials, and ca. , circa , is used for approximate dates. Supplied dates are surrounded by brackets, [] . AGENCY / COLLECTION. The name of a government agency or office is used when the entry forms a subset of a lar ger record group, such as one record series within the records of an entire department. SIZE OF THE COLLECTION. The number or size of boxes, folders, documents, or items is used for most collections. Microfilmed collections give the extent of the microfilm in number of reels. ACCESS OR COPYING RESTRICTIONS. Open indicates that the material may be used by any registered researcher at the Kansas State Historical Society or a participating institution through the interlibrary loan of microfilm. Restricted indicates that access or copying is available to those who meet certain qualifications or agree to certain conditions. Closed or no indicates that access or copying is unavailable under any conditions. The word partially indicates that only portions of the collection are restricted. The lack of restrictions on access or copying does not relieve the researcher of the necessity of complying with all applicable copyrights and rules of citation. FINDING AIDS. Special finding aids other than the electronic catalog, ATLAS — http://lib.wuacc.edu/ —or the manuscripts card catalog in the Kansas State Historical Society’s Research Room. COLLECTION LOCATOR. The designation used to locate the collection in the stacks. This locator must appear on all request slips. Locators for textual collections usually contain the type of collection--collection, miscellaneous, history, or railroad--and an abbreviated surname or a number. For large textual collections, refer to the finding aid for specific box and folder locations. Microfilm is identified by the prefix MS or MF and the roll number. COLLECTION DESCRIPTION. All entries include a summery of relevant subjects or materials contained within the collection. Collections with a large number of relevant materials on many subjects may include brief folder or item descriptions only. Large collections with diverse record sets may include biographic notes and collection-level descriptions to alert researchers to possible additional materials within the collection.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

    IMMIGRATION POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES: POLARIZATION AND PARANOIA By ROBERT WINSTON SCHARR A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Robert Winston Scharr To my most loyal family and friends ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My study of Congress began close to a decade ago, when my advisor, Dr. Lawrence Dodd, instructed me on the inner workings of the institution. Dr. Dodd, together with Dr. Scot Schraufnagel, had begun a series of works linking legislative productivity to partisan polarization. Amidst the legislative gridlock of the time, I noticed an increasingly contentious discourse on immigration policy both within and outside the institution of Congress. Having lived abroad before, and having dealt with the realities of being a foreigner, and having befriended countless immigrants visiting my own country, I have always placed a high value on advocating a fair treatment of immigrants. Thus, I formed an interest in Congress passing reform that accommodates the millions of immigrants who contribute to American society, with, of course, the safeguards necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the U.S. immigration system. With this in mind, I began to explore why Congress was able to make progress with reform in previous eras, but unable to do so in the modern era. I found my first major clue in the historical DW-NOMINATE trends put forth by Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, which seek to measure ideology of individual members as well as the ideological distance between the two major parties.
