newsletter mailing. As a former chair of ANC IC, I have great
appreciation for your work. Please let us know how we can help you.
A heartfelt thank you to Joan Wilson, chief, and Joan
Domike, Kathryn Ray and Pat Haliman for taking over during my four
weeks as co-director of Grandma-grandpa camp in North Carolina. As you
see in this VOTER, everything kept rolling along.
Special appreciation to Sheila Wiilet for the
continuity and care she offers from ground zero in the office.
Did you see our own Congressional Representation their

the invitation of the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation and the
National Association of Japan-America Societies.

Our letter of support of our DC Office of Planning
concerns on regional forecasting has been echoed around the region and

Office space needed by December 31, 2005
Present space: 570 square feet will be dosed for
renovation. Maybe there is a space some League supporter would donate
- in whole or in part - for our use. Must be zoned for business.

VOTING RIGHTS RALLY
DC At the July 1 event to address the lack of
Congressional voting rights for the citizens of DC before the members
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) 25
members of the League of Women Voters of the District of Columbia were
present, more than any group other than DC Vote.
The OSCE passed a resolution in support of DC voting
rights on July 4, 2005. Our Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton was the
sponsoring parliamentarian, and all 12 (6 each Republican and
Democratic) of Congressional representatives voted in favor. As a
result, in December the Ministerial Council, foreign ministers of the
55 member countries, will consider the resolution.
The DC Leaguers who participated despite the very hot
and humid weather were Maria Louise Bernal, Nancy & Thompson
Buchanan, Joan Domike, June Duke, Jacqueline Gallagher, Joe Grano,
Audrey Hatry, Sheila teeny, Joanna London, Jane Varner Malhotra, Chris
Matthews, Susan Murany, Anne Porowski, Amy Proft, Kathryn Ray, Kathy
& Al Schmidt, Joy Simonson, Judy Smith, Barbara Stout, Gina Trippi,
Sheila Willet, Joan Wilson, and Barbara Yeoman.
Press overage was the strongest within pa :genet yews.
THE WASHINGTON POST covered the story in the first section; Associated
Press made its overage available throughout the country; the CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE MONITOR carried an editorial; NBC 4 and NEWS Channel 8 played
portions on their nightly newscasts. Foreign media attended the event
and Interviewed local officials, children, and adults. At the follow
up press conference I was interviewed by the AFRO-AMERICAN and HILL
RAG. I pointed out that for several decades from the 1920's, when LWV
adopted full voting rights for DC, the local League was not known as
the LWVDC but as the "VOTELESS LEAGUE"
Photos of the rally and the political art display as
well as League members (Chris Matthews, Sheila Willet, Jacqueline
Gallagher) taking part can be seen on DC VOTE website at www.dcvote.org.
OTHER NEWS
The hearing before the Government Reform Committee,
chaired by Representative Tom Davis, on voting rights for DC has been
postponed.
To keep the issue before the League members throughout
the United States the NATIONAL VOTER will carry an article by DC Vote.
A photo of Judy Smith at the July 1 event will accompany the article.

Ninety-six voting delegates who attended the 2005
National Council of the League of Women Voters of the United States,
held June 11-13 at the Metro Marriott, enumerated the priorities that
constitute the board's "disciplined focus" - redistricting,
campaign finance reform, civil liberties, election reform, and
judicial independence.
Along with the disciplined focus priorities noted above
there is a continued commitment to clean air, social security without
compulsory privatization, and the UN as it celebrates its 60th
anniversary October 2005.
Election Reform: US Elections Assistance Commission
Chair Gracie Hillman noted that HAVA was created to restore confidence
in the voting process. Only 60% of the electorate ever participates.
She admitted that sometimes the goals for voter turnout are limited by
the shortage of budget and staff to run elections. The HAVA draft
standards will be available online June 12, but implementation by
states Is optional. Counting provisional ballots, for example needs
standardization, but remains a state option.
[Editor's note: The DC Board of Elections and Ethics
implemented HAVA reform in the District in 2003.]

Dinner Address: David Gergen of the Kennedy Center of
Harvard University described the political debate in the U.S. as not a
debate over issues but a concerted power struggle to maintain the
present majority for the foreseeable future. He noted that 55% of
African Americans now watch Fox News Network for their news; church
attendance on a single Sunday exceeds attendance at all sporting
events In a year; an evangelical preacher has sold more copies of his
book in two years than any other book in history other than the Bible;
and Hispanic voters are less committed to the Democrats. — Pat Haliman and Kathy Schmidt

On Wednesday, June 22, 2005 Frances Gemmill testified
for the D.C. League of Women Voters before the Public Oversight
Roundtable on the Quality of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers and the
Chesapeake Bay, and the proposed construction of a new Georgetown
University Boathouse, convened by DC Counsilmember Carol Schwartz.
Highlights of the testimony are:
"... The District is required by the Home Rule Act
to develop a Comprehensive Plan. The Plan contains Federal Elements,
prepared by the National Capital Planning Commission, to guide
development of Federal facilities, and District elements, to guide
development for DC's neighborhood and business districts.
"The Plan is currently undergoing a complete public
review. The most recent Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1984 and
1985, and it has been updated periodically, most recently in 1998 and
1999. In 2002, Mayor Anthony Williams and the DC Council asked the
Office of Planning to explore options for the format, content, and
usefulness of the Plan. A 29-member Task Fame of community and
lushness Mss concluded that the Comprehensive Plan should undergo a
complete revision, an effort which is now underway. The new Plan is
still undergoing community discussion and final adoption of changes
requires approval by the DC Council planned for June 2006. it is to
support a vision including 'creating successful neighborhoods,
increasing access to education and jobs, and connecting the whole
city?'
"Against this background, It is appropriate that the
Comprehensive Plan recognize the need for study of projects that will
have a major impact on the rivers and their use. The proposed
boathouse on the Potomac is a prime example. The DC League has
repeatedly urged that this major project be included in a programmatic
environmental impact statement (EIS) since May 2003, and we now repeat
that recommendation by recommending that such an EIS be made part of
the Comprehensive Plan. That study would include consideration of the
possibilities for both public and private use - serving the needs of
the general public and high school crews as well as those of private
universities."

LIBRARY STUDY: PREPARATION FOR LIBRARY STUDY BEGINS
The Library Study Task Force held its first meeting on
July 5 to sketch out the library study scheduled for
2005-2006. The ultimate goal of the League study is to develop a position on libraries from which we can advocate needed
changes. League members will have the opportunity to join small teams for visits to local libraries to learn
about these issues:
- Availability of staff
- Professionalism of staff
- Ease of library use for non-English speakers, Disabled
- Resources and outreach for children
- Dedicated
funding sources
- Pro's and con's of private/public funding
- Role of
electronic services
- Multi-use siting
- Number of libraries needed in system
- Future of Martin Luther King library
Mark your calendars, plan to attend and bring friends
to:
- Sept. 21 Fail luncheon to hear
keynote speaker.
- October 3 Brown Bag Dialogue to
hear Barbara Webb, head of Neighborhood Library Services.
- October 17-21 Unit Meetings to
prepare for Literary visits.
Don't miss being part of this exciting chalienge. Join
a team and join in the excitement. — Kathryn Ray (2440770)

When, if ever, have you attended an ANC meeting? The
League's Mission Statement states in part "we encourage the
informed and active participation of citizens in government."
With this issue we are opening up communication with
the ANC Commissioners -our grassroots legislators - by including each
in our monthly mailing of the DC VOTER. We encourage the commissioners
to inform the DC League of current issues as well as encourage our
members to attend their local ANC meeting; then tell us about your
experiences. See the listing of ANC Commissioners and meeting dates

In the U.S. Senate's debase over President Bush's
nomination of John Bolton to represent the US In the UN, and in
anticipation of the summit of world leaders to be held at UN
headquarters in September, there Is growing debate over the future of
the US in the UN.
The US decision to go to war in Iraq without Security
Council approval dealt a serious bow to the international status of
the UN. In late 2003, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan created a
High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, which at the end
of 2004 produced a comprehensive strategy for collective security.
(The report was briefly reviewed in the March DC Voter.)
In May, members of the League were fortunate to hear
Dr. Susan E. Rice, of the Brookings Institution, make a strong
endorsement in support of the United Nations and its capacity for
reform.
In June the incoming president of the United Nations
Association, National Capital Area chapter, called for much needed
action on United Nations reform. However, A. Edward Elmendorf went on
to say, the US proposed "ON Reform Act", endorsed by the
House International Relations Committee, could be damaging to the
United Nations. Without commenting directly on that bill, the president elect of the UN General Assembly, Swedish
Ambassador Jan Eliasson, stated that there would have
to be a "give and take" between UN member states and the UN
"in order to develop a solution that has credibility."
Pursuant to a Congressional resolution, the US Institute of Peace
constituted a Task Force on the UN, with two cochairmen, former Senate
majority leader George Mitchell and former House speaker Newt
Gingrich. This improbable duo, supported by a large task force, has
produced a report which is viewed as "unusually thoughtful."
It concludes that an effective UN is in America's interests, and that
the US should play a leadership role in UN reform. — Joan
Domike
