8/15 1994 – The U.S. Social Security Administration became an independent government agency. It had been a part of the Department of Health and Human Services agency. 


At a historic White House bill-signing ceremony on August
15 1994, Public Law 103-296-Social Security Independence
and Program Improvements Act of 1994-was signed into law.
President Bill Clinton symbolically used one of the pens President Franklin Roosevelt had used when he signed the original
Social Security Act 59 years ago, on August 14,1935. The new
legislation officially separates the Social Security Administration
(SSA) horn the Department of Health and Human Services
(HBS), effective March 3 1, 1995, and restores the SSA to its
original status as an independent Federal agency. (Since 1939,
SSA has operated under the direction of a “parent” agency.)
A single administrator will lead the agency with a seven-member
bipartisan advisory board. Also contained in the new law is a
number of other major changes affecting the Social Security and
supplemental security Income (SSI) programs.

1918 – Diplomatic ties between the U.S. and Russia were severed.



Diplomatic relations severed between U.S. & Bolshevist govt. / Berryman.
Summary
World War I cartoon shows Uncle Sam talking to the Russian bear who is on a leash held by a scruffy little man labeled “Bolshevism.” Uncle Sam says, “You’re all right! It’s your leadership I can’t accept.” In November 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia and made peace with Germany. Although efforts were made to effect a rapprochement between the new regime and the United States, the U.S. government eventually joined with the British and the French in various unsuccessful military actions against the Bolshevik government.
