This group’s first and most sig- nificant initiative to date has been the creation of a political action committee (PAC), ACSPA- SurgeonsPAC. This seems like a good time for an update on this restructuring and its achievements. Why was the PAC formed? The impetus for establishing the ACSPA- SurgeonsPAC was a proposal from the Board of Much of what we need to do Governors’ Socioeconomic Affairs Committee. The today and in the future members of this committee believed that surgery needed a representative PAC to strengthen the profession’s grassroots advocacy efforts and to revolves around influencing bring it in sync with other medical organizations that are attempting to influence health policy. the political climate and Over the course of several years, the Governors’ committee had attempted to encourage the Board creating the will to change. of Regents to form a PAC. During the course of the debate, it became increasingly apparent that surgical practice was becoming more entrenched in politics and that the vast majority of health policy decision makers and advisors were from outside of the surgical community. Hence in 2001, must be able to support political candidates who the Regents acknowledged that we needed to make have a health policy agenda consistent with what the changes that were necessary to establish a PAC we believe is necessary to care for the surgical to represent the surgical perspective. patient. A PAC is one of the most valuable tools Because of its restrictive tax-exempt status as available to accomplish these goals.

  • Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces
    Order Code RL31763 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Updated November 28, 2005 Linwood B. Carter Information Research Specialist Knowledge Services Group Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Summary This report provides a summary estimate of military forces reported to have been deployed to and subsequently withdrawn from the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR), popularly called the Persian Gulf region, to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. For background information on the AOR, see [http://www.centcom.mil/aboutus/aor.htm]. Geographically, the USCENTCOM AOR stretches from the Horn of Africa to Central Asia. The information about military units that have been deployed and withdrawn is based on both official government public statements and estimates identified in selected news accounts. The statistics have been assembled from both Department of Defense (DOD) sources and open-source press reports. However, due to concerns about operational security, DOD is not routinely reporting the composition, size, or destination of units and military forces being deployed to the Persian Gulf. Consequently, not all the data herein have been officially confirmed. For further information, see CRS Report RL31701, Iraq: U.S. Military Operations, by Steve Bowman. This report will be updated as the situation continues to develop. Contents U.S. Forces.......................................................1 Military Units: Deployed/En Route/On
