The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • The Federal Reserve Conspiracy
    THE FEDERAL RESERVE CONSPIRACY by Antony C. Sutton About the Author: Antony C. Sutton, D.Sc. was born in London, England in 1925, spent most of his life in the United States and has been a citizen for 40 years. With an academic background in economics and engineering, Sutton has worked in mining exploration, iron and steel industries before graduate school at UCLA. In the 1960s he was Professor of Economics at California State University, Los Angeles, followed by seven years as a Research Fellow at Stanford University. While at the Hoover Institution (Stanford), Sutton wrote the three volume definitive work on Soviet technology, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (still in print after 25 years). This was followed by National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union (Arlington House) which accused the Establishment of killing Americans in Vietnam with our own technology. Hoover Institution, under pressure from the White House, arbitrarily converted Sutton to a "non-person" by removing his Fellowship. Intrigued by the powerful forces behind this assault, he then researched and wrote another three volumes on the financial and political support given by Wall Street international bankers to three variants of socialism. These were published as Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR (all in the 1970s). After leaving Stanford, Sutton edited The Phoenix Letter, a monthly newsletter on the Abuse of Power (still published today) and in 1990 started another newsletter, Future Technology Intelligence Report, covering suppressed technology. In philosophy a strong constitutionalist, the author freely expresses his contempt for Washington usurpation of political power...but always based on the facts.

  • ASSOCIATION RESIDENCE for RESPECTABLE AGED INDIGENT FEMALES (Association Residence for Women), 891 Amsterdam Avenue, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 12, 1983 Designation List 164 LP-1280 ASSOCIATION RESIDENCE FOR RESPECTABLE AGED INDIGENT FEMALES (Association Residence for Women), 891 Amsterdam Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1881-83; Architect Richard Morris Hunt; addition 1907-08; Architect Charles A. Rich. Landmark Site: Borough of }1anhattan Tax Map Block 1855, Lot 50. On February 9, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hear­ ing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Association Residence for Respectable Aged Indigent Females (Association Residence for Homen), and the pro­ posed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 11). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Fourteen witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Association Residence for Respectable Aged Indigent Females, a prominent feature of the Manhattan Valley neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper West Side, was constructed in 1881-83 for one of New York City's oldest charitable institutions. The design, in a French-inspired style which recalls the Victorian Gothic, was by the "dean" of nineteenth-century American architects, Richard Monr.is Hunt. The building remains one of Hunt's few surviving significant New York City structures and a fine example of ninteenth-century institutional architecture. The Association In the midst of the nation's involvement in the War of 1812, a group of socially prominent New York City women formed an association in 1813 to aid women who were left poor wid ows by the current war or by the previous Revolutionary War.

    THE WHITIN FAMILY Historical Notes compiled by the late KATHARINE WHITIN SWIFT and published in lovi.ng memory by her husband ELIJ.AH KENT SWIFT WHITINSVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS ----------1955---------- Privately pnnted AT THE COMMONWEALTH PRESS WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS 1955 THE WHITIN FAMILY THE WHITIN FAMILY V PREFACE These historical notes represent no ordinary effort. Compiled by Katharine Whitin Swift, an invalid during the last 20 years of her life, they inject genealogy with the vitality of intense personal interest. Supported by a quality of patience which nothing fosters so well as illness, she exhausted every source available to her, then employed reliable researchers to compile the information which was beyond her reach. She has thus fashioned an enduring monument to heritage and to family life, and, unknowingly, a memorial to herself as a conqueror of circumstance. E. K. S. November 1, 1955 ..

It has been privileged to have as Consulting and Attending Physicians and Surgeons men who have been largely responsible for the advancement of their profession in the City of New York. The present economic conditions have seriously affected The Roosevelt Hospital in that its income from endowments has been curtailed, and at the same time the demands upon its services have been increased. Poverty and sickness go hand in hand, and The Roosevelt Hospital would be derelict in keeping faith with its Founder and those who have provided its endowments should it in any way fail in its duty and re- sponsibility to the community. During the year 1932 over 44,000 patients were treated in all the departments of the Hospital, with 35,299 free and 20,039 Part Pa id day’s care.
