PRESIDENTIAL PRESTIGE OR POPULARITY HAS OFTEN BEEN CITED AS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF PRESIDENTIAL INFLUENCE IN CONGRESS. IT WAS NOT BEEN EMPIRICALLY AND SYSTEMATICALLY DEMONSTRATED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH A RELATIONSHIP EXISTS. THIS STUDY EXAMINES A VARIETY OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PRESIDENTIAL PRESTIGE AND PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THIS PAPER STUDIES AREAS OF CHANGE AND CONTINUITY RELATED TO PRINCIPLE VII OF THE HELSINKI FINAL ACT, WHICH DISCUSSED GENERAL HUMAN RIGHTS, AND SPECIFICALLY ON BASKET III OF THE ACCORD, WHICH CONCENTRATES SPECIFICALLY ON STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN THE FIELD OF FAMILY TIES AND FAMILY REUNIFICATION. THE AUTHOR UTILIZES IMMIGRATION STATISTICS TO DETERMINE IMBALANCES IN HUMAN RIGHTS ACCORD BETWEEN EAST AND WEST. EFFORTS IN THE EAST TO TIGHTEN CONTROL ON RELIGIONS AND PEACE GROUPS, AS WELL AS TRADE UNIONS ARE STUDIED. THE AUTHOR FINDS THAT CSCE HAS DISILLUSIONED SOME, IS USED BY OTHERS TO BERATE GOVERNMENTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS, AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO CENTRIFUGAL FORCES IN THE WESTERN ALLIANCE.

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE PRESIDENCY, ARGUING THAT THE GOOD DERIVED FROM FREEDOM OF SPEECH, PRESS AND ALL FORMS OF THE MEDIA IS INFINITELY TO BE PREFERRED TO ANY FORM OF CONTROL OF THOUGHT OR EXPRESSION. HE POSITS THAT LIBERTY AS WE KNOW IT IN AMERICA WOULD PERISH WITHOUT THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
