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

"This is a study of U.S. government policymaking during the 30 years of the Vietnam war 1945-75 beginning with the 1945-1960 period. Although focusing on the course of events in Washington and between Washington and U.S. officials on the scene it also depicts major events and trends in Vietnam to which the U.S. was responding as well as the state of American public opinion and public activity directed at supporting or opposing the war."--Preface in first volume. This is part of a five volume work. This document was prepared for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. S. Prt. 103-83 Pt. 4. This fourth volume of a five-part policy history of the U.S. government and the Vietnam War covers the core period of U.S. involvement from July 1965 when the decision was made to send large-scale U.S. forces to the beginning of 1968 just before the Tet offensive and the decision to seek a negotiated settlement. Using a wide variety of archival sources and interviews the book examines in detail the decisions of the president relations between the president and Congress and the growth of public and congressional opposition to the war. Differences between U.S. military leaders on how the war should be fought are also included as well as military planning and operations. Among many other important subjects the financial effects of the war and of raising taxes are considered as well as the impact of a tax increase on congressional and public support for the war. Another major interest is the effort by Congress to influence the conduct of the war and to place various controls on U.S. goals and operations. The emphasis throughout this richly textured narrative is on providing a better understanding of the choices facing the United States and the way in which U.S. policymakers tried to find an effective politico-military strategy while also probing for a diplomatic settlement.

198191187Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1981. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 230 2 pages. Illustrations. Tabular data. The "Hydroelectric Development in New England" hearing was a pivotal August 1981 session held by the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The hearing addressed the booming "mini-hydro" rush driven by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act PURPA and regional disputes over cheap renewable energy The PURPA Boom: Driven by the 1970s oil crises Congress passed PURPA in 1978 to reduce foreign oil dependence. By 1981 this led to a "gold rush" of developers seeking to retrofit finance and construct small-scale hydroelectric plants. The legislation guaranteed a market for the electricity and offered sizable tax credits. The 1981 hearing touched on a major regional crisis. New Hampshire attempted to stop "exporting" relatively inexpensive hydroelectricity generated on the Connecticut River to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in order to lower its own citizens' utility bills. This sparked a legal war that culminated in the 1982 Supreme Court case New England Power Co. v. New Hampshire where the Court ruled that states could not constitutionally restrict the interstate trade of hydro-power. Despite federal tax incentives developers faced severe bottlenecks in trying to build or revive small hydro plants. The hearing focused heavily on accelerating the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC licensing process to encourage development. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback
