Welfare Reform: An Issue Overview

The decline is TANF rolls has slowed to a near halt (see Figure 1). National numbers in September were only 73,000 below those of a year before. However, TANF enrollment topped that of September 2001 in several states (including New York, which has moved into a state-funded safety net program more than 40,000 families after they reached the 5-year federal time limit). Persons now enrolled include rising proportions of minorities, and 37% of TANF “families” now have no adult recipient (child-only cases). The 2001 poverty rate among children in female-headed families was 39.3%, compared with 39.8% in 2000, 49.3% in 1996, and 52.9% in 1994, when AFDC numbers peaked.

Oral History Interview with Jose Mundo, October 16, 1997 (open access)

Oral History Interview with Jose Mundo, October 16, 1997

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Jose Mundo. Mundo was born in Rota in 1931 and attended a Japanese school in Guam until the third grade. When the Japanese invaded, he was recruited as a child laborer to help build an air base. After returning home to Rota, the first indication of war came when American planes began bombing and shooting at the base. He hid with his family in a cave above Songsong Village. It was difficult to get food, because of the danger of being shot by military planes. His younger brother died early on from complications related to food scarcity. Japanese soldiers moved the villagers to another cave and closely monitored them. Mundo recalls his great uncle being whipped for taking corn from the field without permission, and Mundo himself was reprimanded for picking a mango from a tree that once belonged to his family. Execution was a danger for anyone suspected of spying. Mundo was recruited by the Japanese troops as a scout, and he remained with them until the end of the war. He witnessed the Japanese surrender to Americans in his village and was reunited with his family. …

Oral History Interview with Norma Cook, September 16, 2007 (open access)

Oral History Interview with Norma Cook, September 16, 2007

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Norma Cook. Cook was born in England in 1932. During the war, she and her family lived in a village outside of Liverpool. Because they were located near an antiaircraft battery, they endured a period of constant bombardment. During air raids they hid in their living room under a steel frame provided to civilians for protection. On the mornings following bombardments, the streets were lined with children whose homes had been destroyed. Her family took in as many as they could, but rationing made difficult every aspect of their lives. They wanted for food, clothing, and coal. The Cook family was still living under rations at the time they left England, in 1952, and immigrated to Canada.

World Trade Organization (WTO): Issues in the Debate on Continued U.S. Participation (open access)

World Trade Organization (WTO): Issues in the Debate on Continued U.S. Participation

Following World War II, the United States led efforts to establish an open and nondiscriminatory trading system with the expressed goal of raising the economic well-being of all countries and bolstering world peace. These efforts culminated in the creation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1948, a provisional agreement on tariffs and trade rules that governed world trade for 47 years. The World Trade Organization (WTO) succeeded the GATT in 1995 and today serves as a permanent body that administers the rules and agreements negotiated and signed by 153 participating parties, as well as a forum for dispute settlement and negotiations. The purpose of this report is to analyze some of the main issues in any debate on U.S. participation in the WTO and to address some of the criticisms leveled at the organization. Academic studies indicate that the United States benefits from broad reductions in trade barriers worldwide, but some workers and industries might not share in those gains. Decisions in the WTO are made by member governments, which determine their negotiating positions, file dispute challenges, and implement their decisions. However, some argue that smaller countries are left out of decision-making and that governments tend …
