Welcome News Contact Louise Serving You ... On the House Floor Legislative Accomplishments - Foreign Policy Support for An Active Foreign Policy and Protection of Human Rights During the 108th Congress, Representative Slaughter will continue to stress the importance of United States involvement in geographically and strategically important areas of the world. In her role as a member of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, she has emphasized strong protections for human rights. Representative Slaughter continues to believe that, as the world's single indispensable country, the United States must remain visible and project an image as a role model for other nations to follow. Contents: Holocaust Restitution Women Africa Balkans ... Organization Memberships Holocaust Restitution Rep. Slaughter is deeply concerned that many Holocaust survivors have been denied the reparations they deserve for the physical pain and mental suffering they endured during the Holocaust. Time is running out for Germany to provide some measure of justice to Holocaust survivors. Most are in their 70's and 80's. Ten to 15 percent of Holocaust survivors die each year. Introduced the Justice for Holocaust Survivors Act, a bill that would have allowed survivors to pursue reparations from Germany for the unspeakable suffering they endured during the Holocaust. The bill garnered the support of 96 bipartisan co-sponsors and served as a major catalyst in the talks between the U.S. and Germany leading up to the compensation agreement agreed to on July 17, 2000. The U.S.-German agreement established the German Foundation, "Remembrance, Responsibility and the Future," as the exclusive forum for the resolution of all Holocaust-era personal injury, property loss, and damage claims against German banks, insurers, and companies.

A respected legislator who works in a bipartisan fashion to enact meaningful legislation to better peoples’ lives, Chris Dodd is best known for bringing much-needed attention to children’s issues. He formed the first children’s caucus and spent almost a decade fighting to enact family leave legislation to ensure that parents don’t have to choose between the job they need and the family they love. He also authored and enacted landmark legislation to ensure that our nation provides better access to safe and affordable child care. A common-sense leader who has long fought to put our nation’s fiscal house in order, streamline the federal government, and offer targeted tax relief for working families, Dodd offered the first "pay as you go" budget in 1983 and played an important role in reasserting the fiscal discipline that for the first time since World War II has led to record budget surpluses. He also has long fought to reform our campaign finance laws and successfully authored and enacted legislation banning members of Congress from receiving speaking fees.

GA Home SFPT 50th Anniversary Apology During World War II, approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans and permanent resident aliens of Japanese ancestry were interned, relocated or evacuated from their homes in the United States because of their race. Nearly fifty years later the country apologized for this grave injustice, and the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was signed into law, authorizing payments of $20,000 to each such person who suffered as a result. The Office of Redress Administration (ORA) was established to identify, locate and pay these individuals. ORA officially closed on February 5, 1999. This serves as an informational site regarding the final statistics of ORA and the settlement of the Japanese Latin American lawsuit, Mochizuki v. United States ORA's Closing Statistics Number of cases paid: 82,219 Unknown historical records: 1,475 Total ineligible: 1,581 ORA's Closing Under the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 (the Act), the statutory sunset date for the redress program was August 10, 1998. By operation of law, ORA closed on February 5, 1999. Seventy-nine claimants under the Act and 133 claimants under the Mochizuki settlement failed to submit all of their necessary documentation by ORA's closing date. Since ORA was unable to make a determination of eligibility or ineligibility for their claims, these cases were filed as pending for the possibility of future processing in the event additional funding was obtained through legislation.

HOME INDEX OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY GUIDES A guide for Health Professionals. A starting point to an understanding of cultural and health issues for ethnic communities in a multicultural Queensland. COMMUNITY HEALTH PROFILES LATIN AMERICANS This profile provides an overview of some of the cultural and health issues of concern to Latin American migrants who live in Queensland, Australia. This description may not apply to all Latin Americans as individual experiences may vary. The profile can, however, be used as a pointer to some of the issues that may concern your client. In Queensland, the major Latin American community groups are from El Salvador (2300), Chile (1200) and Argentina (750) with smaller groups from Uruguay (400), Colombia (380), Peru (330), and other areas. Although these countries have distinct histories, they mostly share similar cultures and customs, as a result of a mix of populations descended from Spaniards, Amerindians and Africans. MIGRATION There are three broad categories of migrants from Latin America. One group migrated to Australia under a recruitment policy in the 1970s, which offered assisted passages. Groups came from Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uraguay, Colombia and Ecuador to escape difficult economic and political climates. Many had middle class backgrounds and relatively high levels of education. Some had capital to set up business.

Algorithms Key to Cheap Airfare Congressman Edgar Villanueva, the bill's chief sponsor, said he considers Hamilton's letter to be "overt pressure" on Peru by the United States and Microsoft. If so, the letter would continue the long-standing U.S. tradition of meddling in Latin American affairs, political analysts say. In his June letter, Hamilton said that while the United States doesn't oppose the development of open-source software, it prefers to support a free market where the quality of the product can determine the issue.

Latin America Working Group Legislative Update Publications Employment Participating Organizations Keeping the Cuba Amendments Alive Congress has adjourned to work on the upcoming election, leaving most of the thirteen spending bills for 2003—including Treasury/Postal bills—unpassed. Although the 2002 fiscal year officially ended on September 30, Congress passed a series of short-term continuing resolutions, or CRs, which allowed the government to continue operating at 2002 funding levels beyond that date. Second and third short-term CRs were passed on October third and tenth. On October 16th the House passed a longer-term CR, to keep the government operating through mid-November. This creates an unavoidable lame duck session for Congress starting after the election in November. Congress will find itself with a short time to debate and pass the remaining spending bills for 2003. The debate will be further curtailed if, as expected, congressional leadership combines the spending bills into one massive "omnibus" bill, which will be debated and voted upon all at once. The omnibus strategy saves Congress the time necessary to debate and vote on thirteen separate bills, but limits debate and amendments that can be offered. An omnibus bill is largely written by party leadership, and with the idea of ensuring a presidential signature by restricting controversial measures.

Fact Sheet Race/Ethnicity Return to Instructor Projects Return to Our Home Page Ethnic Groups People who share a common heritage or culture. This includes language, religion, customs and a common history. Examples include African Americans, Latin Americans, and Japanese Americans. Ethnic groups develop around a shared social history. Ethnicity is socially constructed. This means the significance of these shared cultural characteristics is determined by the social setting. As this history becomes less significant the sense of ethnic identity decreases. You can see this process in the rise and fall of ethnic identity among Italian Americans. Race Race is also a socially constructed identity. Many people believe race can be determined biologically. This is not true. It is true that people share physical characteristics such as skin color, relative body size and certain facial characteristics. However, there is no genetic basis for race. Race is determined when we assign social significance to physical characteristics that are easily distinguished. Minority Groups We often use the term "minority" to refer to numerically fewer people. This is the correct usage of the term when, for example, referring to the political party having the fewest members in congress. However, in other instances, minority refers to groups of people having less access to a society’s power, prestige and wealth.
