"John Lanneau "Johnny Mac" McMillan (April 12, 1898 - September 3, 1979) was a United States Representative from South Carolina. Born on a farm near Mullins, he was educated at Mullins High School, the University of North Carolina, as well as the University of South Carolina Law School and National Law School in Washington, D.C. He was selected to represent the United States Congress at the Interparliamentary Union in London in 1960, and in Tokyo in 1961. McMillan was elected as a Democrat to the Seventy-sixth and to the sixteen succeeding Congresses, serving from January 3, 1939 to January 3, 1973. He was chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia from 1945 to 1947, from 1949 to 1953, and from 1955 to 1973. He was a signatory to the 1956 Southern Manifesto that opposed the desegregation of public schools ordered by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education. As chairman of the District of Columbia Committee, McMillan was primarily responsible for overseeing local matters in the capital; under the Constitution, Congress has ultimate authority over the District. He consistently opposed home rule for the District; no home rule even came up for a vote in his committee, even when they had originally been passed out of the Senate. The lone home rule bill that even reached the House floor during his tenure came in 1965, when the House leadership steered a home rule bill away from McMillan at the urging of the Johnson administration. McMillan opposed the bill, arguing that Washington was "the only city created for a federal purpose." Although the bill ultimately didn't pass, the fact it was even brought to the floor at all was seen as a sea change. However, McMillan was not completely opposed to giving D. C. residents greater control over their affairs. For example, in 1967, he sponsored a bill that gave the District an elected school board. McMillan's tenure saw Washington become a majority-minority city, and blacks often claimed he was indifferent to their concerns. When Walter Washington, the Mayor-Commissioner of the District of Columbia, sent his first budget to Congress in late 1967, McMillan responded by having a truckload of watermelons delivered to Washington's office.Harry S. Jaffe and Tom Sherwood. Dream City: Race, Power, and the Decline of Washington D.C. Simon & Schuster, 1994, p.62 McMillan was defeated in the 1972 Democratic primary by a considerably more liberal Democrat, State Representative John Jenrette. McMillan blamed black voters, charging that "The colored people were bought out." He is still the longest-serving congressman in South Carolina's history, and only Strom Thurmond and Ernest Hollings represented the state longer at the federal level. He resided in Florence, South Carolina, where he died in 1979; interment was in the McMillan family cemetery, Mullins. ==References== Category:1898 births Category:1979 deaths Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina Category:South Carolina Democrats Category:Democratic Party members of the United States House of Representatives Category:20th-century American politicians Category:People from Mullins, South Carolina Category:People from Florence, South Carolina Category:National University School of Law alumni "
"Rawait Mahmood Khan (born 5 March 1982) is a former English cricketer who played for Derbyshire, Derbyshire CB, and Pakistan Customs in a four-year first-class career which saw him bowl mostly in Second XI Championship matches. Khan, who, with the struggling Derbyshire team often played at number nine in order to gain some bowling experience for the team, made a big impact in only his second appearance with a skilful knock of 91. He thereafter kept out of the limelight in terms of spectacular batting, though held his own as a skilful, uncontroversial opener. He finished his cricket with the major counties in 2004, instead transferring to Minor County outfit Shropshire. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He recently moved to become fielding coach and first team player at Old Hill Cricket Club Khan's brother, Zubair, also played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 2000. ==External links== *Rawait Khan at CricketArchive Category:1982 births Category:English cricketers Category:Sportspeople of Pakistani descent Category:Derbyshire cricketers Category:Living people Category:English people of Pakistani descent Category:Pakistan Customs cricketers Category:Derbyshire Cricket Board cricketers Category:Shropshire cricketers Category:British sportspeople of Pakistani descent "
