  • Federal Funding: Everybody Wants Some!
    Federal funding: everybody wants some! BY STEVE HYMON , OCTOBER 20, 2009 With Metro’s long-range plan (http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2009/10_October/20091014P&PItem10.pdf) scheduled for a vote Thursday, things around One Gateway Plaza are starting to heat up. Case in point: A letter from 14 members of Congress (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/images/fedLetter102009.pdf) landed in the building Tuesday morning requesting that the Board of Directors seek federal money for three additional projects: The Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair, the Crenshaw Corridor project (likely to be a light rail line) and the Eastside Gold Line Extension, which will travel from East L.A. to either South El Monte or Whittier. The letter comes about a month after the Board voted unanimously to request federal funding (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/Metro_152.htm) for two projects — the subway extension on the Westside and the downtown regional connector, the two planned lines expected to have very high ridership. The Congress members in their letter say that federal money for the subway and regional connector could take several years to flow, so it would make sense in the meantime to try to secure money for other projects. “The Gold Line Foothill Extension project, Azusa to Montclair, is developed enough to be ready for Federal New Starts funds in the years before the Westside Subway Extension and the Regional Connector Transit Corridor,” write the Congress members. The long-range plan due for a vote on Thursday has the subway opening to Fairfax in 2019, the same year the downtown connector would open.

    Enhancing U.S. Leadership at the United Nations Report of an Independent Task Force Sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and Freedom House David Dreier and Lee H. Hamilton, Co-Chairs Lee Feinstein and Adrian Karatnycky, Project Co-Directors 2 The Council on Foreign Relations is dedicated to increasing Americas understanding of the world and contributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy. The Council accomplishes this mainly by promoting constructive debates and discussions, clarifying world issues, and publishing Foreign Affairs, the leading journal on global issues. The Council is host to the widest possible range of views, but an advocate of none, though its research fellows and Independent Task Forces do take policy positions. Please visit our website at www.cfr.org. THE COUNCIL TAKES NO INSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON POLICY ISSUES AND HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ALL STATEMENTS OF FACT AND EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION CONTAINED IN ALL ITS PUBLICATIONS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS. The Council will sponsor an Independent Task Force when (1) an issue of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy arises, and (2) it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may, nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Typically, a Task Force meets between two and five times over a brief period to ensure the relevance of its work. Upon reaching a conclusion, a Task Force issues a report, and the Council publishes its text

  • The “Regular Order”: a Perspective
    The “Regular Order”: A Perspective November 6, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46597 SUMMARY R46597 The “Regular Order”: A Perspective November 6, 2020 Many contemporary lawmakers urge a return to “regular order” lawmaking. In general, the regular order refers to a traditional, committee-centered process of lawmaking, very Walter J. Oleszek much in evidence during most of the 20th century. Today, Congress has evolved to Senior Specialist in become largely a party-centered institution. Committees remain important, but they are American National less important than previously as “gatekeepers” to the floor. This development Government represents a fundamental “then and now” change in the power dynamics of Capitol Hill. Regular order is generally viewed as a systematic, step-by-step lawmaking process that emphasizes the role of committees: bill introduction and referral to committee; the conduct of committee hearings, markups, and reports on legislation; House and Senate floor consideration of committee-reported measures; and the creation of conference committees to resolve bicameral differences. Many Members and commentators view this sequential pattern as the ideal or “best practices” way to craft the nation’s laws. Regular order is a lawmaking process that promotes transparency, deliberation, and the wide participation of Members in policy formulation. Significant deviations from the textbook model of legislating—common in this party-centric period—might be called “irregular,” “nontraditional,” “unorthodox,” or “unconventional” lawmaking. The well- known “Schoolhouse Rock” model of legislating still occurs, but its prominence has declined compared with the rise of newer, party leadership-directed processes. Regular or irregular procedures can successfully be used to translate ideas into laws.
