The 1960 United States presidential election was the 44th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday November 8 1960. In a closely contested election Democrat United States Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon the Republican Party nominee. This was the first election in which fifty states participated and the last in which the District of Columbia did not. It was also the first election in which an incumbent president was ineligible to run for a third term because of the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment. It is also the last election where the losing candidate won Ohio. Nixon faced little opposition in the Republican race to succeed popular incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kennedy a junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts established himself as the Democratic front-runner with his strong performance in the 1960 Democratic primaries including a key victory in West Virginia over United States Senator Hubert Humphrey. He defeated Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson on the first presidential ballot of the 1960 Democratic National Convention and asked Johnson to serve as his running mate. The issue of the Cold War dominated the election as tensions were high between the United States and the Soviet Union. Kennedy won a 303 to 219 Electoral College victory and is generally considered to have won the national popular vote by 112827 a margin of 0.17 percent though some argue that Nixon should be credited with the popular vote victory as the issue of the popular vote was complicated by the presence of several unpledged electors in the Deep South. Fourteen unpledged electors from Mississippi and Alabama cast their vote for Senator Harry F. Byrd as did a faithless elector from Oklahoma. The 1960 presidential election was the closest election since 1916 and this closeness can be explained by a number of factors. Kennedy benefited from the economic recession of 1957-58 which hurt the standing of the incumbent Republican Party and he had the advantage of 17 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Furthermore the new votes that Kennedy the first Roman Catholic president gained among Catholics almost neutralized the new votes Nixon gained among Protestants. Kennedy's campaigning skills decisively outmatched Nixon's who wasted time and resources campaigning in all fifty states while Kennedy focused on campaigning in populous swing states. Nixon's emphasis on his experience carried little weight for most voters. Kennedy used his large well-funded campaign organization to win the nomination secure endorsements and with the aid of the big-city bosses get out the vote in the big cities. Kennedy relied on Johnson to hold the South and used television effectively. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Gray Area of Transportation Operations; Statement No. 6010 File No. 51-D-7

1960ref. 75640Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1960. Presumed First Edition First printing. Staplebound. Good. iv 114 pages. Map. Occasional footnotes. Cover has some wear soiling and edge tear. Small area blacked out on front cover. This study was issued as information and had not been adopted by the Interstate Commerce Commission ICC when published. The ICC was a regulatory agency in the United States created by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The agency's original purpose was to regulate railroads and later trucking to ensure fair rates to eliminate rate discrimination and to regulate other aspects of common carriers including interstate bus lines and telephone companies. Congress expanded ICC authority to regulate other modes of commerce beginning in 1906. The agency was abolished in 1995 and its remaining functions were assigned to the Surface Transportation Board. The Commission's five members were appointed by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate. This was the first independent agency or so-called fourth Branch. The "gray area" as used in this staff study of the Commission refers to transport operations which lie between legitimate private carrier and the transportation authorized by Government regulatory bodies. Thus the term is used to denote unauthorized transport operations often conducted under the guise of legitimate private carriage. This study deals with the character extent and distribution of gray area operations in highway transportation and other modes; important effects of gray area operations on the transportation system; enforcement activities of the Commission; and certain suggestions which have been made for remedial action. It also contains general information concerning exempt transportation although operations by exempt carriers unless the operations are unauthorized do not fall in the gray area as defined. U. S.

From Wikipedia: "The Interstate Commerce Commission ICC was a regulatory body in the United States created by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The agency's original purpose was to regulate railroads and later trucking to ensure fair rates to eliminate rate discrimination and to regulate other aspects of common carriers including interstate bus lines and telephone companies. The agency was abolished in 1995 and its remaining functions were transferred to the Surface Transportation Board. The Commission's five members were appointed by the President with the consent of the United States brought into law by President Grover Cleveland. The creation of the commission was the result of widespread and longstanding anti-railroad agitation. Western farmers specifically those of the Grange Movement were the dominant force behind the unrest but Westerners generally especially those in rural areas believed that the railroads possessed economic power that they systematically abused. A central issue was rate discrimination between similarly situated customers and communities. Other potent issues included alleged attempts by railroads to obtain influence over city and state governments and the widespread practice of granting free transportation in the form of yearly passes to opinion leaders elected officials newspaper editors ministers and so on so as to dampen any opposition to railroad practices. Various sections of the Interstate Commerce Act banned "personal discrimination" and required shipping rates to be "just and reasonable." The Commission had a troubled start because the law that created it failed to give it adequate enforcement powers. "The Commission is or can be made of great use to the railroads. It satisfies the popular clamor for a government supervision of the railroads while at the same time that supervision is almost entirely nominal."-William H. H. Miller US Attorney General circa 1889. Following passage of the 1887 act the ICC proceeded to set maximum shipping rates for railroads. However in the late 1890s several railroads challenged the agency's ratemaking authority in litigation and the courts severely limited the ICC's powers. Congress expanded the commission's powers through subsequent legislation. The 1893 Railroad Safety Appliance Act gave the ICC jurisdiction over railroad safety removing this authority from the states and this was followed with amendments in 1903 and 1910. The Hepburn Act of 1906 authorized the ICC to set maximum railroad rates and extended the agency's authority to cover bridges terminals ferries sleeping cars express companies and oil pipelines. A long-standing controversy was how to interpret language in the Act that banned long haul-short haul fare discrimination. The Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 addressed this question by strengthening ICC authority over railroad rates This amendment also expanded the ICC's jurisdiction to include regulation of telephone telegraph and wireless companies."

United States Congress House Committee on International Relations Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and TradeBiblio.com

Nuclear fuel transfer for reprocessing pending cases: hearings before the Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and Trade of the Committee on International Relations House of Representatives Ninety-fifth Congress second session September.

1979ref. 70413Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1979. Presumed first edition/first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. Signed by previous owner. Cover has some wear and soiling. Pencil erasure residue or front cover. iii 1 162 2 p.; 24 cm. Title continues: "26 and October 3 1978." From Wikipedia: "Nuclear reprocessing technology was developed to chemically separate and recover fissionable plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel. 1 Reprocessing serves multiple purposes whose relative importance has changed over time. Originally reprocessing was used solely to extract plutonium for producing nuclear weapons. With the commercialization of nuclear power the reprocessed plutonium was recycled back into MOX nuclear fuel for thermal reactors. 2 The reprocessed uranium which constitutes the bulk of the spent fuel material can in principle also be re-used as fuel but that is only economic when uranium prices are high. Finally a breeder reactor is not restricted to using recycled plutonium and uranium. It can employ all the actinides closing the nuclear fuel cycle and potentially multiplying the energy extracted from natural uranium by about 60 times. 34 Nuclear reprocessing reduces the volume of high-level waste but by itself does not reduce radioactivity or heat generation and therefore does not eliminate the need for a geological waste repository. Reprocessing has been politically controversial because of the potential to contribute to nuclear proliferation the potential vulnerability to nuclear terrorism the political challenges of repository siting a problem that applies equally to direct disposal of spent fuel and because of its high cost compared to the once-through fuel cycle. 5 In the United States the Obama administration stepped back from President Bush's plans for commercial-scale reprocessing and reverted to a program focused on reprocessing-related scientific research. 6 Nuclear fuel reprocessing is performed routinely in Europe Russia and Japan."
