Extractions: THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH: POWERS OF THE PRESIDENCY "The chief magistrate derives all his authority from the people..." At a time when all the major European states had hereditary monarchs, the idea of a president with a limited term of office was itself revolutionary. But the Constitution adopted in 1787 vested executive power in a president, and that remains the case today. The Constitution also provides for the election of a vice president, who succeeds to the presidency in case of the death, resignation, or incapacitation of the president. While the Constitution spells out in some detail the duties and powers of the president, it does not delegate any specific executive powers to the vice president, to the 14-member presidential cabinet (made up of the heads of the federal departments), or to other federal officials. The Constitution requires the president to be a native-born American citizen at least 35 years of age. Candidates for the presidency are chosen by political parties several months before the presidential election, which is held every four years (in years divisible evenly by four) on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The Twenty-second Amendment, ratified in 1951, limits the president to two terms of office. The vice president serves concurrently with the president. In addition to holding the right of succession, the vice president is the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twenty-fifth Amendment, adopted in 1967, amplifies the process of presidential succession. It describes the specific conditions under which the vice president is empowered to take over the office of president if the president should become incapacitated. It also provides for resumption of the office by the president in the event of his recovery. In addition, the amendment enables the president to name a vice president, with congressional approval, when the second office is vacated.

The Morris Arboretum and the World Health Organization (WHO) co-sponsored an International Symposium on Medicinal Plants, April 19-21, 1993, in Philadelphia, U.S.A.. Sessions were held at the Arboretum, Temple University Conference Center, and The University Museum. The 139 participants, from 24 countries and 26 states in the United States, included plant science researchers, university scholars, government officials, and health-care experts. Nobel Laureate, Baruch Blumberg, Master of Balliol College, Oxford, gave the keynote address "Plants to Medicines: Promise and Problem." Other speakers included Joseph Jacobs, director, Office of Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Michael Balick, director, Institute of Economic Botany, New York Botanical Garden, Dan Palevitch, director, Volcani Center, Israel, Robert McCaleb, president, Herb Research Foundation, and Olayiwola Akerele, former manager, Traditional Medicine Programme, WHO, now retired. As symposium co-chair, Timothy Tomlinson, associate director of the Morris Arboretum, reminded the participants: "At a time when America is closely examining its own national health care system, the World Health Organization and its 182 member states are examining health care around the world, and in particular, the use of plants as medicine. Since 1978, international symposia on traditional medicine have been held in various countries around the world." Tomlinson told the assembly that the Philadelphia gathering of experts continued that tradition.

Graphs I am delighted to be here to talk about UMBC and to respond to questions you may have on our FY 2000 budget request. UMBC is greater Baltimore's public research university, emphasizing graduate programs in the sciences, engineering, and public policy, and built on a strong undergraduate liberal-arts-and-sciences core. Among the nation's research universities, we are distinctive because of our emphasis on undergraduate education, reflecting our tradition of linking research and teaching. We offer degrees in 28 undergraduate, 27 master's, and 19 Ph.D. programs; enroll 10,100 students (including 8,600 undergraduates); employ 1,800 full- and part-time faculty and staff; have nearly 32,000 alumni (85% living in Maryland); have an operating budget of almost $180 million, including $48 million per year in contracts and grants; and have a physical plant valued at over $300 million, consisting of 500 acres, 40 buildings, and almost 2.5 million square feet of space. Founded in 1966, UMBC has built in just over three decades a strong foundation reflecting the efforts of many people, including State leaders and our faculty, staff, and students. It also reflects three decades of careful thinking, ambitious planning, and hard decisions. In building the faculty, staff, and a strong student body, we have learned that talented people attract other talented people. One impressive measure of our success is the vote this past year by Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most prestigious scholarly honor society, establishing a chapter at UMBC. Of Phi Beta Kappa's 255 member institutions, UMBC is one of the youngest public campuses ever to gain admission, rivaling some of the University of California's most prestigious campuses in this regard.
