	Tribute to Walter P. Brownlow - Johnson City, Tennessee
		Congressman Brownlow's concepts helped lay the groundwork for the Veterans Administration hospital system (established in 1930) and the Bureau of Public Roads (now the Federal Highway Administration) which was established six years after his death with the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916.
		Brownlow's legacy of leadership was followed by two succeeding Congressmen, Carroll Reece and James H. Quillen, who along with Brownlow represented the First District of Tennessee a combined 80 years during the twentieth century.
		Brownlow was succeeded in Congress by David Massey who was elected to serve the unexpired balance of the term following Brownlow's death in 1910.

	PLANNING BOARD MINUTES - MAY 15, 2000
		Brownlow said the concerns that may be an issue is the disposal of the fish offal and scales with a residential neighborhood nearby.
		Brownlow said he had never been asked to review the design of a gate before and therefore asked the owners of the campground to submit a drawing of what they intended for the gate.
		Brownlow also said that with all due respect, the hoped the Town Board recognized the workload being placed on the Planning Board and to keep the Board in tact, they be allowed to take the most reasonable requests until some of these issues are weeded out.

	OREGON STATE TROOPER SUSPENDS FIRST AMENDMENT \| AfterDowningStreet.org
		Brownlow, a savvy political activist, demanded to know what law or ordinance was being broken at which point Trooper Moore jumped over the traffic barrier onto the sidewalk and shouted directly into Mr.
		Brownlow informed the trooper that he was completely wrong about the First Amendment -- something their son was supposedly fighting to protect.
		Brownlow informed Trooper Moore that there were going to be consequences for the trooper's outrageous behavior, and that the matter was far from over.

		Chairman Davis moved to establish a separate fund for the Trails Committee, with the understanding that each Supervisor may contribute to the fund from their individual parks funds, and that expenditures from the fund would be approved by the Board.
		She said the committee had also requested GPS units, but that she believed those could be loaned to the committee by the County.
		Supervisor Street said the original focus of the trails committee was to find and get on the map existing trails, and that she was under the impression that the people the Board appointed to the trails committee were supposed to do the work and not hire a consultant.

	Republic in Crisis - Chapter 8: A PROGRAM OF EXECUTIVE CONTROL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		One such method would be the organization of policy committees in each chamber that would voluntarily settle upon modes of cooperating within their parties and with the national party leadership.
		The same might be said for the proposal of joint policy committees of congressmen and the President, whereby the leadership of each party could meet in both its executive and congressional manifestations, for the purpose of determining a united course of action.
		The reduction of the number of committees is often recommended as a means of obtaining stern public scrutiny and improving the "efficiency" of Congress.

		Supervisor Brownlow asked if it was true that the new subdivision proposal would represent a decrease in groundwater use from 660 acre feet per year to only 59 acre feet per year.
		Supervisor Brownlow said he had a real problem with this application and that if the Board was going to change direction from what it had done in the past then it should be the new Board making that decision.
		Supervisor Brownlow said he did not think anyone would have a problem getting a use permit, but that if all of the properties were rezoned they could be sold off and the County would not know who was buying it or what they wanted to do with it.

	For The Common Good: The 85th Anniversary of a Historic Partnership
		The executive committee, which was dominated by heavily populated states with well-developed highway networks, collaborated with AAA's president, A.G. Batchelder, on the draft of a federal-aid bill that called for a national system of highways.
		To settle the dispute, a meeting of AASHO's executive committee was arranged to coincide with the Pan-American Road Congress at the Municipal Auditorium in Oakland, Calif., on Sept. 13-17, 1915.
		Upon receipt of the Shackleford bill, Sen. Bankhead's committee amended it by striking out everything after the enacting clause ("Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled") and substituting the AASHO bill.

		As the Chair of House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Don Young put it, "we are not happy, and if they go to far they are going to have a revolution on their hands." These are republicans talking to the republican president in a time of ostensible crisis.
		The scope of the Brownlow Committee's reform and, perhaps even more significantly, the underlying philosophy of presidential control using policy objectives and administrative responsibility prompted interest groups and public patrons to circle the wagon as they squared off with the president.
		Adapting the committee structure in Congress to reflect executive branch reorganization is crucial to the success of executive reform.

	San Francisco Film Society
		Brownlow’s collection of interviews with silent-film stars, The Parade’s Gone By (1968), and his ensuing 12-part television documentary Hollywood (made with David Gill) have inspired numerous film archivists, critics and professors.
		Brownlow’s magnificent restoration of Abel Gance’s 1927 classic Napoleon wasn’t just the film preservation event of the decade when it was rereleased in a gloriously restored version in 1981, but a cultural phenomenon.
		To see a film bearing the Brownlow touch is to go back to a magical time when the silent movies glowed on the silver screen and cinema was a physical experience.

	CRS Report: 95-117 - The Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management: History and Analysis of Merger Proposals - NLE
		President Eisenhower's Advisory Committee on Government Organization concurred with the Hoover Commission recommendation for combining forest and range management in the Department of Agriculture.(20) The committee asserted that this transfer could be done without separate legislation under then-existing reorganization authority, but that the proposal would be highly controversial.
		The House and Senate Interior (now Resource) Committees have traditionally had jurisdiction over the BLM and the public lands and over the forest reserves (because many of the reserves were originally created from the public domain).
		For example, the bills that became the Forest Service planning laws were jointly referred in the House, and were referred to the Senate Agriculture Committee; most of the hearings and the mark-up debates occurred in the Agriculture Committees and on the floor, and the Interior Committees were essentially silent on the legislation.

	WITNESS LIST
		As the Brownlow Committee noted in 1937, "The President needs help." And these days presidents need the help of hundreds of people possessed of courage and stamina and creativity.
		It is fundamental and essential that victory in a presidential election should be swiftly followed by the recruitment and emplacement of the talented Americans who will help a president to do the work the American people elected him or her to do.
		I hope these hearings will be the incubator for these reforms and that this committee will be their shepherd.

	Truman Library - David C. Bell Oral History Interview
		It was a position of considerable honor and respect, as I remember vividly because I was later made one myself.
		I don't mean that some of the themes weren't repeated -- a lot of them were -- but everything was tailored for the particular audience and the particular location where he was going to be.
		But, of course, there were lots of committee chairmen who weren't there, and lots of members who weren't there, so there's much more to the congressional liaison process than that.

		A committee of three officers and three workers in the Norfolk yard discussed the problem and in May 1928 released a report that was not favorable to the goals of organized labor.
		As the committees represented the majority of a shop's workers, “each committeeman [now had to] be elected by a majority of the men entitled to vote in the shop, it is not enough that they represent a majority of those voting.” A shop not meeting this mandate would be denied its committee.
		At the last two steps Committee members could be accompanied if they chose by “representatives of the elected group [union staff]” or could even have the latter represent their case alone as long as they spoke only for the committee's shop.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Battista de Rossi
		For years Northcote and Brownlow, and Lewis at Oxford, were in constant correspondence with De Rossi.
		Stress is thus laid on the important personal acquaintance and friendships of De Rossi, in order to emphasize with what skill he stimulated interest in Christian archeology in all directions.
		Napoleon III entrusted the task of collecting and editing the works and letters of the celebrated Borghesi to a committee of French, German, and Italian scholars, among whom De Rossi may be said to have been the most important and assiduous.

		Brownlow Committee: As the president became more responsible for the success or failure of federal policy, it became necessary for him to increase the size of his staff.
		Although the decision was a shock to Truman and his administration, it did not broadly diminish the President’s authority as commander-in-chief, but confined its ruling to the particular issue at hand.
		Formation of President’s Committee on Civil Rights: Truman was the first president to take formal steps towards securing civil rights for minorities in the United States, and all of his achievements were unilateral executive actions.

		In the mid-1930s, the Brownlow Committee, under a directive from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, examined the issue of how the president could strengthen his management of the government.
		Both the Brownlow Committee and First Hoover Commission reported that the executive branch was unwieldy and difficult to manage; the solutions offered by both suggested creating a strong centralized, hierarchical executive structure.
		The perspective that authority should be delegated from the top (president, agency director) down was the dominant paradigm until the 1960s (Moe 2001).
