About the agenda and the schedule of the April (1985) Plenum of the CC CPSU. GORBACHEV. All the comrades received proposals on this issue. They were prepared in connection with the exchange of opinions, which took place earlier. The memo specifies the dates of the convening and holding of the Plenum, which will have to define clearly the issues introduced for the consideration of the XXVII Congress of the CC CPSU. I think we should specify somewhat the wording of the CC CPSU report to the Congress, stating that it is not the next party tasks in foreign and domestic policy but simply party tasks are being introduced for the consideration of the Congress, because the Congress will consider the new edition of the CPSU Program, and the tasks to be determined are not only the immediate party tasks, but also long-term tasks. GROMYKO. Right. GRISHIN. Is there going to be a separate report on the new edition of the Party Program at the Congress? GORBACHEV. No. The Secretariat is introducing the proposal that the issues related to the new edition of the Party Program and the changes to the CPSU Charter should be presented as part of the main report of the Central Committee.

  • 2017Chicago Transit Authority a Horse Drawn Omnibus, Originally Operated by the Citizen’S Line Circa 1853, Is Displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake
    HISTORICAL CALENDAR 2017Chicago Transit Authority A horse drawn omnibus, originally operated by the Citizen’s Line circa 1853, is displayed at West Shops at Pulaski and Lake. These early transit vehicles were quite primitive, barely just a notch above stagecoaches – little more than hard, wooden bench seats were provided on either side of very sparsely appointed coaches, with no heat, light, or other amenities. It is hard to believe that, from such humble beginnings, Chicago would one day have the second largest public transit system in North America, as it does today.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Garniss Curtis, dated July 29, 2002.

For purposes of recording and coding data on terrorist incidents, we have adhered to definitions that represent a middle ground within the broad range of expert opinion, both foreign and domestic. Terrorism is premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine state agents, usu- ally intended to influence an audience. lnternational terrorism is terrorism involving citizens or territory of more than one country.
