This book examines the role of transit in meeting the nation's transportation needs, considering transit's contributions to the economy, environment, and social equity. The author also explores the potential for transit in defense conversion efforts and its role in improving access, particularly in underserved rural and minority communities. While acknowledging the strides made by the 1991 legislation, the book highlights the funding shortfalls that continue to exist. The author argues for a balanced approach to transportation funding and emphasizes that transit investment is not only a matter of convenience but also a key factor in improving air quality, reducing congestion, and providing access to jobs and essential services. The book offers valuable insights into the importance of transit in shaping sustainable and equitable transportation systems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and evolution of veterans' reemployment rights in the United States, focusing on the need to update and recodify existing laws. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the patchwork of policies known as veterans reemployment rights (VRR). The author argues that these laws, which have been in place since the 1940s, need to be updated to ensure that veterans who serve their country have the right to return to their civilian jobs without loss of seniority, status, or pay. The book also explores the philosophical underpinnings of VRR, examining the arguments for and against providing these protections to veterans. Ultimately, the book concludes that VRR is an essential part of the social contract between the United States and its veterans, and that these rights should be strengthened and expanded to meet the needs of today's veterans.

203pp. Folio. Modern leatherette, minor toning and light scattered foxing, Very Good. This was an eventful Session of the first Senate. In late December 1790, the Journal records the receipt from Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, of a report "containing a plan for a national Bank." The Journal records the legislative history of the Bank's creation, commencing with the introduction and reading of the 'Bill to incorporate the subscribers to the bank of ---.' Yeas and nays are recorded on motions concerning the term of incorporation; whether the United States should refrain from incorporating any other bank during that term; and, finally, the Bill as passed by Congress [pp 124-131]. The establishment of Washington D.C. as the "seat of government" occurs, with President Washington's directions "to survey and limit a part of the territory of ten miles square, on both sides of the river Powtomac." The Journal also records the detailed steps by which Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the Union. Constituent documents are printed relinquishing New York's claims to territory in Vermont, establishing Vermont's boundaries, and Vermont's ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Detailed material also appears on import taxes on distilled spirits; reduction of public debt; creation of the general land office; and a host of other foundation material before the March 4 adjournment. President Washington warns of Indian depredations in the Northwest Territory and urges "that the aggressors should be made sensible that the government of the Union is not less capable of punishing their crimes, than it is disposed to respect their rights and reward their attachments." The Session records much activity in confirming the titles of the settlers in that Territory to the lands possessed by them, and raising an additional regiment to protect the frontiers.
