This Day in American History

 

 

Columbus Day---We celebrate perhaps one of the largest slave trader/murderer/plunder and rapist, who actually never discovered the mainland of the United States, but several islands off the coast. His trips depleted all the natives to several of the islands, either taking them back to Spain to sell as slaves or killing them. Many natives also died from the many diseases the Spanish brought with them .

1775- Second Continental Congress passed legislation authorizing the acquisition of ships and establishment of a navy (we were not called the United States at the time and the move was to name us the United Colonies of Columbia ). Columbus was very popular at the time, and a compromise was finally reached to name the capital the District of Columbia and make it special, meaning

it was not part of a state, as a compromise to call the new name as the United States of American Leasing ( after Amerigo Vespucci )

1792- the presidential residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C., designed by James Hoban, was began with the laying of the first cornerstone. The first presidential family to occupy it was that of John Adams in November, 1800. With three stories and more than 100 rooms, the White House is the oldest building in Washington. first described as the "presidential palace," it acquired the name "White House" about 10 years after construction was completed. Burned by British troops in 1814, it was reconstructed, refurbished and reoccupied by 1817. The original corner stone is allegedly missing, taken by a souvenir hunter, some claim the British.

    1845- a majority of the citizens of the independent Republic of Texas approve a proposed constitution, that when accepted by the Congress, will make Texas the 28th American state. The annexation of Texas finally became a reality after long political bickering. Antislavery forces were opposed to annexation because Texas was certain to become a slave state. Others wanted to act lest Great Britain, or France develop a relationship with the Republic of Texas, whose independence Mexico refused to recognize. In April, 1844, President John Tyler submitted to the Senate a treaty of annexation, but the Senate rejected it in June. In December Tyler offered a joint resolution to cover annexation. This required only a majority vote by both houses of Congress instead of the two-thirds vote needed to ratify a treaty. Action on the resolution was completed on February 28, 1845, when the House accepted it in revised form. On June 23, the congress of Texas accepted annexation. October 13 the constitution was proposed and December 29 Texas was admitted to the Union, the 28^th state.

He served as Indy’s president and general manager after Tony Hulman bought the Speedway in 1945. Died at Fort Wayne, IN, Oct 3, 1954.

    1966-Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara declares at a news conference in Saigon that he found that military operations have "progressed very satisfactorily since 1965." McNamara had arrived in Saigon on October 11 for his eighth fact-finding visit to South Vietnam. He conferred with General William Westmoreland, the senior U.S. military commander; Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge; various military leaders; and South Vietnam's Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and President Nguyen Van Thieu. McNamara said he was pleased with the overall progress in South Vietnam, but he later revealed to President Lyndon Johnson in private that he thought progress was "very slow indeed" in the pacification program.

McNamara wrote after the war that he realized early on "the complexity of the situation and the uncertainties of our ability to deal with it by military means." Though he did understand the obstacles, he was dedicated to the U.S. commitment to preventing Communist takeover of South Vietnam. By the end of 1965, however, even McNamara had begun to doubt that a military solution in Southeast Asia could be achieved. Still, as late as July 1967, he told President Johnson that the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were making headway in the war. Johnson tired of McNamara's vacillation and eventually replaced him with Clark Clifford in February 1968.

The regular "free" e-mail edition (text format) is sent out from 1:30am to 2:30am, PDT, when completed. This is done to get the latest information to our East Coast readers.

favorable as possible.

Policy Statement

 

Policy Statement---Nothing is sent out that is not "fair." Always unbiased

reporting. Fairness always. If it is questionable, we will ask the writer's

permission to quote them. We will print information without attribution,

but feel as long as we do not name the person who sent it, we can use the

information.

 

Any information we think is suspicious, we try to have if substantiated

first by at least two reliable people. We will not purposely send out

"negative" news.

 

To be added to the mailing list, you must request it. We do not send

anything about our company or personal e-mail or jokes to the leasing news

list. We do not share our mailing list with anyone. We try not to send more

than one report a day, if at that, unless an "alert."

 

We follow Internet Netiquette at all times. Our sole purpose is to provide

communication to improve our profession. We reserve the right to deny

sending the newsletter when requested. We reserve the right to edit or

delete an opinion that is not in good taste or is outright derogatory.

 

We prefer "positive" news. We have no "axe" to grind or are not paid or

seek or accept any remuneration for product or promotion. We do not Spam

anyone.

 

American Leasing is a separate company than Leasing News and

does not receive any remuneration or "leads" or "business" in any manner

from Leasing News. If we receive a request for a lease transaction,

we most likely will refer to the National Association of Equipment Leasing

Broker "Find a Broker:" http://216.185.153.30/naelb-public/index.cfm

We may refer to a specific company, for instance, if they are looking

for a captive vendor program, or niche equipment. If a broker looking

for a funding source, we may make a referral, but never with any

"strings" or "benefit" to American Leasing. American Leasing is

a small lessor/broker doing business primarily in Silicon Valley.

The company does not have a "broker program" or pay fees

or referrals to a "broker." We "bend over backwards" to keep both

companies two distinct entities to avoid any journalist conflicts.

 

Mr. Menkin sits on several board of directors and advisory boards.

Should there be any conflict, it is so noted in the story. If there

is a financial interest in the company, it is also so noted in the story

as a "disclaimer."
