Simon writes that the change proposed by his correspondent is quite acceptable to him. Sir John Simon 1816-1904 was an English pathologist surgeon and public health reformer. He held surgical posts at King's College Hospital and St. Thomas's Hospital in London from 1840 until 1876. Public health was not considered a responsibility of the government in the early 19th century. Parliament passed the Public Health Act of 1848 partly in response to Simon's influence and to deal with the threat of cholera and other public health problems. Simon was appointed the first Medical Officer of Health for the City of London. He was later made the head of the Medical Department of the Government and remained in that post until his retirement in 1876. Though he had no previous public health experience Simon's ongoing interest in pathology gave him a distinct advantage as a medical officer. He called for municipal action to provide adequate sanitary disposal and drainage improved standards of housing and upgrading of the water supply. His advocacy resulted in the Sanitary Act of 1875 which for the first time made a public health law universal and compulsory. Simon was also a member of Privy Council 1858-1876 and President of the Royal Society 1879-1880. May 21st, circa [1860s]. unknown

The Commission on Immigration Reform CIR was formed by Congress in 1990 to critically examine United States immigration policies. The bipartisan commission was chaired by the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan the highly esteemed civil rights advocate and is often referred to as the Jordan Commission. In a series of reports submitted between 1994 and 1997 the commission analyzed the impact of current immigration policies and issued recommendations for reform. The spirit of these recommendations was to return U.S. immigration policy to its stated intentions: reuniting nuclear families providing employers with skilled workers and providing humanitarian aid to refugees. The commission's primary recommendations were to improve controls against illegal immigration revamp the refugee and asylum admission system and reduce legal immigration. As mandated by the Immigration Act of 1990 the Commission conducted more than 40 public hearings consultations and site visits in the United States and some foreign countries. This final report makes recommendations to further the goals of Americanization by setting out immigrant policies to help orient immigrants and their new communities to improve educational programs that help immigrants and their children learn English and civics and to reinforce the integrity of the naturalization process by which immigrants become citizens. The report also makes recommendations for immigration policy repeating and updating the conclusions reached in three previous reports on unlawful migration legal immigration refugee and asylum policy and making additional recommendations for reforming immigration policies. The Commission urges a renewed commitment to the education of immigrant children and a recognition that education is the primary tool of Americanization for children and adults. paperback
