Most items concern the U.S. steel import crisis, circa 1980-2000. Curtis Barnette maintained that the drastic, costly changes the U.S. steel industry underwent to become world class producers of steel were undermined by \"dumping\"—or the flooding of U.S. markets with cheap steel imports—from less efficient but heavily subsidized foreign companies. As a result, industry officials filed trade cases and lobbied for stronger, strictly enforced trade remedies. In addition to international trade, many items speak to other public policy areas such as environmental regulation, healthcare, pensions, energy, and tax reform. A few items discuss the Clinton Health Plan specifically.","2. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is another central topic. Most items contain discussion of corporate vision, strategic objectives, financial status, and/or business outlook. Two other common sub-topics are \"restructuring,\" which involves a streamlining process in which a corporation partially or wholly sheds unprofitable divisions, and \"modernization,\" which refers to the installation of state-of-the-art equipment at corporate facilities.","3. Corporate governance is yet another major topic. Several items include extended discussion on alliance-building, executive compensation plans, audit committees, corporate image, and corporate secretaries.

Most items concern the U.S. steel import crisis, circa 1980-2000. Curtis Barnette maintained that the drastic, costly changes the U.S. steel industry underwent to become world class producers of steel were undermined by \"dumping\"—or the flooding of U.S. markets with cheap steel imports—from less efficient but heavily subsidized foreign companies. As a result, industry officials filed trade cases and lobbied for stronger, strictly enforced trade remedies. In addition to international trade, many items speak to other public policy areas such as environmental regulation, healthcare, pensions, energy, and tax reform. A few items discuss the Clinton Health Plan specifically.","2. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is another central topic. Most items contain discussion of corporate vision, strategic objectives, financial status, and/or business outlook. Two other common sub-topics are \"restructuring,\" which involves a streamlining process in which a corporation partially or wholly sheds unprofitable divisions, and \"modernization,\" which refers to the installation of state-of-the-art equipment at corporate facilities.","3. Corporate governance is yet another major topic. Several items include extended discussion on alliance-building, executive compensation plans, audit committees, corporate image, and corporate secretaries.

Most items concern the U.S. steel import crisis, circa 1980-2000. Curtis Barnette maintained that the drastic, costly changes the U.S. steel industry underwent to become world class producers of steel were undermined by \"dumping\"—or the flooding of U.S. markets with cheap steel imports—from less efficient but heavily subsidized foreign companies. As a result, industry officials filed trade cases and lobbied for stronger, strictly enforced trade remedies. In addition to international trade, many items speak to other public policy areas such as environmental regulation, healthcare, pensions, energy, and tax reform. A few items discuss the Clinton Health Plan specifically.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e 2. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is another central topic.

There are three major topics represented by these materials: (1) the U.S. steel import crisis (2) the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and (3) corporate governance.","1. Most items concern the U.S. steel import crisis, circa 1980-2000. Curtis Barnette maintained that the drastic, costly changes the U.S. steel industry underwent to become world class producers of steel were undermined by \"dumping\"—or the flooding of U.S. markets with cheap steel imports—from less efficient but heavily subsidized foreign companies. As a result, industry officials filed trade cases and lobbied for stronger, strictly enforced trade remedies. In addition to international trade, many items speak to other public policy areas such as environmental regulation, healthcare, pensions, energy, and tax reform. A few items discuss the Clinton Health Plan specifically.","2. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is another central topic. Most items contain discussion of corporate vision, strategic objectives, financial status, and/or business outlook. Two other common sub-topics are \"restructuring,\" which involves a streamlining process in which a corporation partially or wholly sheds unprofitable divisions, and \"modernization,\" which refers to the installation of state-of-the-art equipment at corporate facilities.","3. Corporate governance is yet another major topic. Several items include extended discussion on alliance-building, executive compensation plans, audit committees, corporate image, and corporate secretaries.

Early materials include reports on Southern agriculture and immigration for various agencies. Hodges' first efforts to reform and streamline Virginia state government may be seen in the minutes and papers of the Virginia Commission on Economy and Efficiency. There is considerable correspondence from his service as aide and director of the Budget under Governors Davis and Trinkle. In 1924, Hodges became the first managing director of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce; his activities reflected in the official and unofficial correspondence, included development of trade relations with Great Britain and other countries and the creation of the 'Five-Five' (later 'All Virginia') program designed to enhance the state's internal economy, efficiency, and sense of civic pride. Also included are the Chamber of Commerce's publications and numerous addresses by Hodges on trade and economic issues.

In 1924, Hodges became the first managing         director of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce; his         activities reflected in the official and unofficial         correspondence, included development of trade relations with         Great Britain and other countries and the creation of the         'Five-Five' (later 'All Virginia') program designed to enhance         the state's internal economy, efficiency, and sense of civic         pride. Also included are the Chamber of Commerce's         publications and numerous addresses by Hodges on trade and         economic issues. During this period Hodges continued to         participate in the State Prison Board (he served as the         president) and as Colonel in the Virginia National Guard; the         collection contains his 'Ordnance Notes' and other papers         relating to aspects of ordnance and defense preparation in the         period between the wars. Hodges' office files as Comptroller         include reports, addresses, proposals, and organizations         requesting him to speak. A small amount of material concerns         his brief service during World War II with the War Department,         which was cut short by illness.","Col. Hodges' correspondents include economists, government         officials, businessmen, and other prominent figures in         Petersburg and Richmond. Among the names represented are W.         Jett Lauck, James H. Price, Gordon Bohannon, Junius P.         Fishburn, Francis P. Miller, Robert H.
