Year Event

1907 An Anglo-French convention confirmed the independence of Siam but established spheres of influence: territory west of the Menam River was to be the British sphere, that to the east the French sphere. (Encyclopedia of World History)
1913 The 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for the election of senators by popular vote rather than selection by state legislatures, was ratified.
1935 Congress passes the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act, with wide authority under which the President may establish a variety of agencies.

1988 In an international agreement involving the U.S., the USSR, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, the signatories pledged that Afghanistan would become a nonaligned country whose neutral status would be guaranteed by the U.S. and the USSR. [Hmm]
1997 U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Finance Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung sign accord in Hanoi for Vietnam to repay debts of $145 million. [Not bad -- we only gave them $1 billion in economic grants during that period. But this will allow us to give them much more.]
