	The Collapse of Marriage and the Rise of Welfare Dependence
		Moynihan and his fellow researchers pointed to the disintegration of family as a major cause.
		In the aftermath of the Moynihan Report and the effort to deal with poverty, economists and empowerment theorists, while they may have disagreed on many things, found common ground with the negative income tax: that being poor was not different from being middle class other than in terms of what money you had.
		As Moynihan said, “the principal objective should be to see that more children are born into intact families and remain so.” I oversee $46 billion, part of a $2 trillion federal budget, and $100 million for the Healthy Marriage Initiative out of my $46 billion is not a lot of money.

	Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commission’s final report, issued on March 3, 1997, was unanimous.

	Moynihan was prescient, but pilloried for facing hard facts
		In truth, nothing Moynihan said in his less than 50 pages of text and tables was dramatically new, as he wrote about the effects of family disintegration in the tradition of distinguished fl scholars such as E. Franklin Frazier and Kenneth Clark.
		Moynihan also was undercut by some of his own colleagues in the Johnson administration, who scampered like scared pups once the slurs began.
		Yet for all the anger it provoked among "progressives," the Moynihan Report was an exquisitely progressive cry of a social scientist's heart.

		A mythical Moynihan report is sometimes used to justify lurid fantasies about where our society is going, and to give a patina of scientific justification for policy proposals so harsh that they would get no serious hearing in any other democracy.
		Moynihan later claimed that his failure to offer a solution "was a tactical advantage," because criticism would have focused on whatever it was he proposed.
		Moynihan erred in making the legacy of slavery largely responsible for the creeping dissolution of the fl family, thereby inadvertently drawing attention away from the decisive effects of recent socio-economic changes.

	Nick Schulz on Daniel Patrick Moynihan on National Review Online
		Moynihan had uncovered something new in his research on fl families in the United States, and this little discovery would ultimately transform domestic politics and social science.
		Moynihan's willingness to look anew at the "root causes" of the problems afflicting urban areas and his employment of the analytical power of social science on contemporary problems were revolutionary.
		An irony of Moynihan's life was his unwillingness to accept some of the consequences of the revolution in social thinking that he himself was responsible for starting.

	Moynihan Welfare Reform and Benign Neglect
		Moynihan was an ardent Hamiltonian to his core, who moved rather freely between the liberal and conservative camps, depending on the merits of the case as viewed through his expansive mastery of political theory and history.
		But since his report documented serious social maladies within the fl family–most especially, rising out-of-wedlock birthrates and a concomitant rise in the number of female-headed households–his report was hooted at by liberals and Moynihan was pilloried as a racist and his report trashed and buried.
		Actually, Moynihan’s proposal was an expression of the sensible belief that healthy intact families are the bedrock of healthy societies, and the liberal reaction to this simple idea revealed the lengths to which liberals would go to defend self-destructive behaviors in the name of political correctness.

	Moynihan of the Moynihan Report
		Moreover, the Moynihan Report noted that first-graders without fathers in the home have I.Q.'s 7.5 per cent lower than those with fathers and that, in central Harlem, where a majority of the children are fatherless, the median I.Q. of sixth-graders is only 86.3.
		On the other hand, once Moynihan starts intently talking about urban problems one realizes that one is in the presence of an extraordinary intellect, perhaps the most notable characteristic of which is his ability to come up with ideas that are remarkable for their simplicity, for a "Why didnít somebody think of that before?" quality.
		Moynihan, however, traces his desire to lead a more contemplative life to the day that President Kennedy was assassinated, when a kind of excitement and yearning for excitement went forever out of the lives of many Americans.

		Next morning Bob Novak and Rowland Evans, in their wonderful column, their headline was “The Moynihan Report.” And it linked up, in effect, the behavior at Watts with [my report on illegitimacy ratios], as if [there was] somehow [a] causal relationship between [the two].

	Forty Years Wandering
		In what came to be called The Moynihan Report, the future senator, then a staffer in Lyndon Johnson's Department of Labor, described the fl illegitimacy rate as a key factor in the social problems of the poor fl family.
		Moynihan wrote for a small audience of high-level policymakers (only 100 copies were printed), and he never intended the Report for general distribution.
		Moynihan would be very concerned at these rates, for he was convinced that the deterioration of the fl family was at the heart of the deterioration of fl culture.

		Moynihan cites the Wright Commission, named after Lloyd Wright, a former President of the American Bar Association, which was the first statutory study of governmental secrecy and comments on their work and their recommendations.
		Moynihan then goes into the episode of the VENONA project, but before discussing that consider that the failure of information to get to the right people in time was a major cause of the disaster of Pearl Harbor, yet now it is deliberately done.
		Moynihan notes that to have known any of these men automatically discredits Hoover's accusation's, which Moynihan feels were on target with Hiss and Silvermaster, though neither of whom at that time was in a sensitive government position.

		Its conclusion that African-American urban poverty could be traced in part to a breakdown of family structure was at the time much criticized by civil-rights activists but is now generally regarded as an unusually prescient analysis.
		Although Moynihan's policy declarations in the 1960s and early 70s were among the most significant formulations of what was called "neoliberalism" or "neoconservatism," in the Senate he was a consistent critic of the Reagan and Bush administrations, which enjoyed the support of many neoconservatives, and a strong supporter of Democratic presidents Carter and Clinton.
		Moynihan retired from the Senate in 2001; subsequently, he served on the faculty of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse Univ. His many books include Family and Nation (1986), Came the Revolution (1988), On the Law of Nations (1990), and Secrecy (1998).

		The profound personality change created by Nazi internment, as independently reported by a number of psychologists and psychiatrists who survived, was toward childishness and total acceptance of the SS guards as father-figures -- a syndrome strikingly similar to the 'Sambo' caricature of the Southern slave.
		The 1965 Economic Report of the President revised the data on the number of persons living in poverty in the United States to take account of the varying needs of families of different sizes, rather than using a flat cut off at the $3,000 income level.

		Faculty, staff, and students were enchanted as Moynihan’s voice danced and arms jabbed skyward with the memory of arguments made and lost in the chamber.
		George Will wrote at the time that Moynihan walks away from the Senate and political life “leaving both better for his having been in them, and leaving all who observe them bereft of the rare example of a public intellectual’s life lived well—adventurously, bravely, and leavened by wit.
		Beyond the Melting Pot, the ground-breaking study by Harvard social scientist Nathan Glazer which Moynihan co-authored, and Moynihan’s report in 1965 predicting erosion in the fl American family structure placed him in the vanguard of Great Society thinkers; yet its implication that fl struggles might be, in part, self-inflicted angered many liberals.

		It was a committee chaired by the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, a Democrat.
		By invoking Moynihan, Bush seemed to be suggesting that his Social Security committee worked with the White House on a series of ideas relating to the future of the program.
		Moynihan has expressed a considerable amount of frustration that he is not being allowed to control the agenda and in particular, that the White House and Commission Staff are controlling the agenda to a large extent.

		Because the Moynihan Report has at last been embraced by many on the Left and the Right, one can easily forget how inflammatory it was in its day.
		The Moynihan Report places our current social situation in historical context, and clearly reveals two things: One is that the nation has taken a ruinous social slide over the last three decades.
		The Moynihan Report had little to say about the white family save that "the white family has achieved a high degree of stability and is maintaining that stability." Alas, that stability has now dissolved.

		Moynihan began his reporting of the nine stories at an international conference in the fall of 2003 that was sponsored by AcademyHealth and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
		Drawing on presentations at that conference, this report presents nine short case studies from around the world, where very different sorts of research evidence are being used in very different policy and practice settings.

		Moynihan, then assistant secretary of labor and one of a new class of government social scientists, was among the worriers, as he puzzled over his charts.
		Moynihan argued that the rise in single-mother families was not due to a lack of jobs but rather to a destructive vein in ghetto culture that could be traced back to slavery and Jim Crow discrimination.
		Implicit in Moynihan’s analysis was that marriage orients men and women toward the future, asking them not just to commit to each other but to plan, to earn, to save, and to devote themselves to advancing their children’s prospects.

	Still Fighting After 40 Years: The War Against Political Correctness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Moynihan's 1965 report on "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action" warned that the "family structure of lower class Negroes is highly unstable, and in many urban centers is approaching complete breakdown." The consequences of that breakdown were leading to a "tangle of pathology."
		For that, the civil rights crowd accused Moynihan of heresy and many all but called him a racist because in his report 'discrimination' did not account for all the problems that afflicted fl Americans.
		It's doesn't approach 1965 Moynihan proportions, but it's still disheartening because it shows how far we have yet to go to become a society that cares about things other than being 'cool' and PC because they're the correct things to be.
