November 29, 1999 - News - Alice Rivlin speaks Control board chairman Alice M. Rivlin recently met with the staff of The Common Denominator to discuss the board’s work, including her role in creating the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority (the control board’s formal title) when she was director of the White House Office of Management and Budget in 1995. Rivlin was asked whether she thinks Congress will abolish the control board in 2001, after the District government operates four years with a balanced budget, as required by the original legislation in order to eliminate the board’s direct authority. Rivlin was chairman of the Commission on Budget and Financial Priorities of the District of Columbia, sometimes known as the "Rivlin Commission," which produced the "Rivlin Report" about D.C. government operations in 1990. www.thecommondenominator.com /112999_news3.html   (2337 words)

Washington Business Forward - October 2001 - Twenty Questions But for Alice Rivlin, winding down the DC Financial Control Board and plotting a strategy to bring families back to the city is all in a day's work. Rivlin's short-cropped hair helps her look 10 years younger than she really is, and she certainly doesn't talk like a woman past retirement age. RIVLIN: I think the racial divide in the city is a very strong one and many black people who have lived in the city for a long time are very nervous about development and feel threatened by it, even those who tend to benefit from it. www.bizforward.com /wdc/issues/2001-10/twenty   (3115 words)

washingtonpost.com: Economic Outlook Alice Rivlin: The Fed's increase is only a quarter of a point and may not affect your loan much, if at all. Alice Rivlin: The Fed will probably keep increasing the short-term rate (the only one they control) slowly until they think they are now longer stimulating the economy.

Tax Analysts: Economic Perspective: 94 TNT 135-42 (Copyright, 1994, Tax Analysts) Alice Rivlin is also one of the few top policy makers who understand the importance of developing the capacity to perform top-notch policy work and not simply to presume that it will be there in the future. I believe that Alice Rivlin would agree with much of this vision, and I strongly encourage her to develop one of her own. One of the more interesting moves for those concerned with long-term policy development, however, was the promotion of Alice Rivlin to director of the Office of Management and Budget. www.taxanalysts.com /www/econpers.nsf/cfa3e4167d7590dc852566db00614d4d/c4607710f48bec1e852566db0061eb17?OpenDocument   (1471 words)

A Call for Individual Responsibility Rivlin acknowledges that the lack of a major threat to the American way of life "does not mean everything is rosy." But she argues that the problems found in today's society, whether they be teen pregnancy, drug abuse, or racial tension, are local problems, and not federal problems. Rivlin feels that because there is no large issue that we can tackle, such as the Cold War, a devastated economy (i.e., the Great Depression), or civil rights, there is a dearth of issues for candidates Clinton and Dole to talk about. Rivlin began her address by remarking how important the special ceremony is in her eyes. www.trincoll.edu /zines/tj/tj10.3.96/articles/cover.html   (633 words)

TheStreet.com: Alice Doesn't Work There Anymore Rivlin, a three-year veteran of the Fed, was regarded as the Fed's most dovish governor, meaning she favored a less restrictive monetary policy. Rivlin, who was a founding member of the Congressional Budget Office, vacates a term that was set to expire in 2010. Rivlin's resignation removes from the deliberations a governor who might have been expected to argue against tightening monetary policy. www.thestreet.com /markets/mktupdate/753280.html   (152 words)

Rivlin, No. 2 Official to Greenspan, Quits at Fed By RICHARD W. WASHINGTON -- Alice Rivlin resigned Thursday as vice chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, leaving the No. 2 job empty at the central bank as it confronts a tough call on whether to raise interest rates. Rivlin's resignation is unlikely to have a crucial effect on the debate within the Fed on the degree of danger that inflation poses to the nation's long economic expansion. Rivlin accepted the Fed post somewhat reluctantly in 1996 at President Clinton's behest, and although she was sometimes mentioned as a possible successor to Greenspan, she never lost the reputation of being more interested in fiscal policy -- her area of expertise -- than in monetary policy. www-personal.umd.umich.edu /~mtwomey/newspapers/060499ri.htm   (787 words)

National Review: Alice in budgetland - Alice Rivlin memo about budget causes problems As the Democrats launched their ritual election-eve accusations about Republicans bent on slashing Social Security, a thermonuclear memo from Alice Rivlin found its way, via Bill Kristol, to the front page of the Washington Post. Rivlin hopes to lower the budget deficit total by $274 billion ("modest") to $399 billion ("steeper and deeper") over the next five years. Rivlin's memo, which is entitled "Big Choices," agrees that the defeat of President Clinton's health-care package leaves the Administration without a domestic policy. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n22_v46/ai_15999879   (1222 words)

Alibris: Rivlin In this provocative book, Alice Rivlin offers a straightforward, nontechnical look at the issues threatening the American dream and proposes a solution: restructure responsibilities between the federal and state government in order to move the federal budget from deficit to surplus. R.S. Rivlin is one of the principal architects of nonlinear continuum mechanics: His work on the mechanics of rubber (in the 1940s and 50s) established the basis of finite elasticity theory. Rivlin examines the contributions that systematic analysis has made to decisionmaking in the government's "social action" programs— education, health, manpower training, and income maintenance. www.alibris.com /search/books/author/Rivlin   (986 words)

CaseWeb: The Case Program Home Page When Alice Rivlin became the first director of the Congressional Budget Office in February 1975, she found herself in charge of a new agency with no staff, no permanent offices, a very sketchy mandate from Congress as to its duties and responsibilities, and few allies on Capitol Hill.

Can the Budget Surplus Survive a Train Wreck?: Full Transcript of Session RIVLIN: I think there's another thing, and I agree with Dan, but we really don't have a consensus, and a summit only works when there is a consensus at least on an idea of what to do, cut across the board, or impose this or that. Rivlin declared, basically, a little while ago that the only way out of that train wreck, that real train wreck, was economic growth. RIVLIN: Yes, I agree with all of that, and despite the fact that none of these projections are very accurate, it would be a terrible mistake not to try to make them. www.urban.org /url.cfm?ID=900369&renderforprint=1   (11593 words)

Professional Convention Management Association - Convene Archives Alice Rivlin, senior fellow in the economic studies program at the Brookings Institution, has spent her career weighing — and making — economic forecasts. In 1992, Rivlin wrote Reviving the American Dream, a book that explored the average family’s decreased optimism in the American economy and how to restore confidence in America as a place where hardworking people could expect to be better off than their parents were. So I thought the big tax cut was imprudent.” Nevertheless, Rivlin favored the immediate $300-per-taxpayer rebate, because she thought it would help stimulate consumer spending in the short run when the economy needed more spending to avoid sliding into recession. pcma.org /resources/convene/archives/displayArticle.asp?ARTICLE_ID=4082   (1350 words)

College News & Events Rivlin also claimed that there is a long term trend away from manufacturing in the United States, and that any attempts to reverse this trend with protectionism would result in a lower standard of living for U.S. citizens. Rivlin proposed three plans for balancing the budget—the “Smaller Government Plan,” the “Larger Government Plan,” and the “Better Government Plan.” The “Smaller Government Plan” calls for reducing spending by $400 billion in non-defense spending by eliminating items like commercial subsidies, agricultural subsidies, federal aid for housing, environmental spending, law enforcement funding, and NASA funding. Rivlin said the difficulty of implementing any of these plans demonstrate that the U.S. is in a deep economic hole, and it is getting deeper. www2.davidson.edu /common/templates/news/news_tmp01.asp?newsid=2101   (754 words)
