Diplomatic Immunity: To Have Or Not To Have, That Is The Question, Mark S. Zaid

Campaign Finance: The Impact On The Legislative And Regulatory Process, John B. Anderson Jan 1998

Campaign Finance: The Impact On The Legislative And Regulatory Process, John B. Anderson

Faculty Scholarship

During a Senate campaign more than four decades ago, revelations of a $5,000 contribution offer to Senator Karl Mundt of South Dakota precipitated a Senate investigation. At that time, Congress was considering legislation dealing with the regulation of natural gas. The discovery of the contribution offer ignited such a furor that it prompted President Eisenhower to declare he would veto any bill relating to natural gas regulation enacted under a cloud of suspicion. He carried out his threat, and it was another decade before Congress finally enacted legislation deregulating natural gas at the wellhead. Since that time, as the costs …

Shocking Revelations At Hydro-Quebec: The Environmental And Legal Consequences Of The Quebec-New York Power Line, Ian Mark Paregol Jan 1998

Shocking Revelations At Hydro-Quebec: The Environmental And Legal Consequences Of The Quebec-New York Power Line, Ian Mark Paregol

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

When parties contract to build the world's largest hydroelectric project, upon whom should the burden fall to mitigate the costs to the environment resulting from the lack of foresight and research into the effects of the projects? In the recent past, society's view has been too myopic to comprehend the importance of the environment to all of humanity in sustaining life. Accordingly, people must participate in the decision-making process of national and international corporations in order to police environmentally deleterious activities.
