The birth of the Delaney Clause can be traced back to a 1950 resolution in the US House of Representatives that charged a House select subcommittee to investigate the use of chemicals in foods. Among the subcommittee s responsibilities was an examination of the nature, extent, and effect of chemicals, compounds, and synthetics on all facets of food production. The subcommittee was chaired by James J. Delaney, a New York Democrat.

Depression (Williams and Woo 1995). The US Department of Labor oversees the system, but each state administers its own programme. Because federal law defines the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands as states for the purposes of UI, there are 53 state programmes (US House of Representatives 2004). 

The federal tax rate of 0.8% finances administration of the system, half of the Federal-State Extended Benefits Program, and an account for state loans. The individual states finance their own programmes, as well as their half of the Federal-State Extended Benefits Program (US House of Representatives 2004, 4-1-4-2). 

The SSA also provides an administrative framework for UI. Title III authorises federal grants to the states for administration of state UC laws, title IX authorises the various components of the Federal Unemployment Trust Fund, and title XII authorises advances or loans to insolvent UC programmes (US House of Representatives 2004, 4-2).

As in the financial crisis. Black Swans have a history of growth before they appear on the scene. The problem is that they can not be observed in advance by ordered means, they must be sensed on other grounds. A lead can be found in the testimony of the (present) US Secretary of Finance, Tim Geitner, on the issue of Systemic Risk and Financial Markets before the Committee on Financial Services, US. House of representatives, July 24 2008. Here, Geitner advocates a balance between efficiency and resilience, between innovation and stability.
