 The Press Democrat, Sonoma County, California: The Santa Rosa Diocese
Walsh said he knows few of the specifics surrounding the Santa Rosa diocese's debt, nor does he have any idea how long it might take to restore the diocese to fiscal health.
Walsh, however, believes his biggest job will be to lead the way back to faith for disillusioned Catholics in the diocese which covers a six-county region from Petaluma to the Oregon border.
In 1987, Walsh was sent to Nevada to oversee a rapidly expanding church in the nation's fastest-growing region.

 Walsh-Healey Act of 1936   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Walsh-Healey Act eventually had a major effect on wages and hours for contract workers, but its main immediate impact was to prepare the way for much broader wage and hour legislation.
Administered by the Department of Labor, the Act set a minimum wage of 25 cents per hour and a maximum workweek of 40 hours (to be phased in by 1940) for most workers in manufacturing.
The Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 35-45), was enacted ``to provide conditions for the purchase of supplies and the making of contracts by the United States.'' It is not an act of general applicability to industry.

(a) The Act, in paragraph (2) of section 7, exempts from its provisions ``any work required to be done in accordance with the provision of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act'' (49 Stat.
The Walsh-Healey Act applies to contracts in excess of $10,000 for the manufacture or furnishing of materials, supplies, articles or equipment.
Thus, there is no overlap if the principal purpose of the contract is the manufacture or furnishing of such materials etc., rather than the furnishing of services of the character referred to in the Service Contract Act, for such a contract is not within the general coverage of the Service Contract Act.

 Talkin' Broadway - Duplex Cabaret Theatre - Broadway Downtown Series
Walsh easily found the dramatic line in songs such as Jeff Blumenkrantz's "I Won't Mind" and gave a poignant reading of one of her signature songs, "Holding to the Ground" from William Finn's Falsettos.
Walsh is also a side-splittingly funny comedian and, in addition to her tongue-in-cheek patter, she has a keen knack for mimicry.
If her act is a barometer for the performers to appear in coming weeks, cabaretgoers should plan to spend their Monday nights for the next seven weeks at the Duplex.

 frontline: secrets of an independent counsel: readings: the clock is running out on the independent counsel law
Twenty years later, it comes almost as a shock to recall that the 1978 independent counsel act was intended to take the politics out of politically sensitive prosecutions.
What's overlooked in the retellings of Watergate, she argues, "is the fact that the system subsequently worked as it should." Public outcry over the "Saturday Night Massacre" in 1973 led to the appointment of a second outside special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, the investigation continued, and eventually Richard Nixon was forced from office.
Walsh and O'Sullivan do agree on one point: the need for prior prosecutorial experience on the part of independent prosecutors.

 The Walsh report - Chapter 6
The clearest example of this are the listening device provisions in the AFP Act which specify the purpose to be for carrying voice transmissions.
Criticism by a court or oversight body of the manner or circumstances in which some intrusive investigatory power was exercised appears to increase the degree of difficulty with which amendments to the relevant statutes are approached.
For example, the problems created by the current definition of a listening device in the AFP Act when the purpose should simply be stated as being for 'the transmission of data'.

The opponents of the act, so far as it prohibited the manufacture of beer and light wine, were only permitted to voice their opposition among their friends and acquaintances.
The most astonishing part of these discussions was that it was rare anyone defended the Volstead Act, and those who did, after the others bad ended their arguments, generally conceded that the law should be modified if not repealed.
The Volstead Act is, as you have heard in testimony by men who enforce the law, unable to be enforced.

 Patriot Act -- A Remedy for an Unidentified Problem: Jim Walsh and Laura Donohue
They cite the provisions for extended detention, new powers to spy on Americans, a lack of controls on use of information, a greater ability to freeze and seize assets and an overly broad definition of domestic terrorism.

In the view of the Committee, this places the General Counsel in the position of fulfilling an external information request--effectively forced by law to act as agent for an interested outside party.

 P.S. Protest No. 95-06, March 21, 1995
All representations and stipulations required by the Act and related regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor (41 CFR chapter 50) are hereby incorporated in this contract by reference.
In rebuttal, the contracting officer argues that the amendment to the Walsh-Healey Act upon which the protester relies is ineffective here because it was adopted after the Postal Reorganization Act was enacted, and the Postal Service has never adopted the amendment voluntarily.
Ancra appears to be contending, in the alternative, either that clause 10-3 is overbroad in failing to allow contractors to use convict labor as permitted by the Walsh-Healey Act, as amended, or that there is a conflict between clause 10-3 and 10-8.
