FEC ELECTS NEW OFFICERS
    On December 18, 1984, the Federal Election
Commission unanimously elected John Warren
McGarry as Chairman and Joan D. Aikens as Vice
Chairman to serve one-year terms commencing
January 1, 1985. Mr. McGarry succeeded Commis-
sioner Lee Ann Elliott in the Chairmanship. Mrs.
Aikens succeeded Commissioner Thomas E. Harris
as Vice Chairman.

Mr. McGarry, a Democrat, was first appointed to
the Commission in 1978 by President Carter. In
1983, he was named to serve a second term, which
is due to expire on April 30, 1989. He served as
FEC Chairman in 1981. Before serving on the
Commission, Mr. McGarry served as Special
Counsel on Elections to the Committee on House
Administration of the U.S. Congress from 1973 to
1978. Prior to that, he combined private law
practice with service as Chief Counsel for the
Special Committee to Investigate Campaign Ex-
penditures of the U.S. House of Representatives.
(By special resolution, Congress recreated this
Committee every two years, through 1972, to
oversee House elections.) From  1959 through
1962, he was an Assistant Attorney General of
Massachusetts.

Mr. McGarry graduated cum laude from Holy
Cross College in Massachusetts in 1952, did grad-
uate work at Boston University and earned a Juris
Doctor degree in 1956 from Georgetown Law
Center.

Mrs. Aikens, a Republican, is one of the original
members of the Commission. She was first ap-
pointed to the Commission in March 1975, and,
upon the FEC's reconstitution in May 1976, she
received a five-year appointment. In 1983, Presi-
dent Reagan reappointed Mrs. Aikens, this time
for a six-year term. She served as FEC Chairman
between May 1978 and May 1979.

Before serving on the Commission, Mrs. Aikens
was Vice President of Lew Hodges/Communica-
tions, a public relations firm located in Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania. From 1972 until 1974, she
was president of the Pennsylvania Council of
Republican Women and served on the board of


directors of the National Federation of Republi-
can Women. She served as Alternate Delegate-at-
Large to the 1972 Republican National Conven-
tion and, at the time of her appointment to the
Commission, she was a member of the Pennsyl-
vania Republican State Committee. She has also
been active in a variety of other volunteer organi-
zations.

A native of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Mrs.
Aikens received her B.A. and honorary Doctor of
Law degree from Ursinus College, Collegeville,
Pennsylvania.
