Shannon Acting Secretary Department of State 2201 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20520 Secretary Kelly, Acting Attorney General Yates, Acting Secretary Shannon: As former cabinet Secretaries, senior government officials, diplomats, military service members and intelligence community professionals who have served in the Bush and Obama administrations, we, the undersigned, have worked for many years to make America strong and our homeland secure. Therefore, we are writing to you to express our deep concern with President Trump’s recent Executive Order directed at the immigration system, refugees and visitors to this country. This Order not only jeopardizes tens of thousands of lives, it has caused a crisis right here in America and will do long-term damage to our national security. In the middle of the night, just as we were beginning our nation’s commemoration of the Holocaust, dozens of refugees onboard flights to the United States and thousands of visitors were swept up in an Order of unprecedented scope, apparently with little to no oversight or input from national security professionals. Individuals, who have passed through multiple rounds of robust security vetting, including just before their departure, were detained, some reportedly without access to lawyers, right here in U.S. airports. They include not only women and children whose lives have been upended by actual radical terrorists, but brave individuals who put their own lives on the line and worked side-by-side with our men and women in uniform in Iraq now fighting against ISIL.

In recent years, human rights conditions in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have deteriorated, while bilateral tensions related to trade Michael A. Weber and security have increased, possibly creating both constraints and opportunities for U.S. policy Analyst in Foreign Affairs on human rights. After consolidating power in 2013, Chinese Communist Party General Secretary and State President Xi Jinping intensified and expanded the reassertion of party control over society that began toward the end of the term of his predecessor, Hu Jintao. Since 2017, the government has enacted new laws that place further restrictions on civil society in the name of national security, authorize greater controls over minority and religious groups, and further constrain the freedoms of PRC citizens. Government methods of social and political control are evolving to include the widespread use of sophisticated surveillance and big data technologies. Arrests of human rights advocates and lawyers intensified in 2015, followed by party efforts to instill ideological conformity across various spheres of society. In 2016, President Xi launched a policy known as “Sinicization,” under which the government has taken additional measures to compel China’s religious practitioners and ethnic minorities to conform to Han Chinese culture, support China’s socialist system as defined by the Communist Party, abide by Communist Party policies, and reduce ethnic differences and foreign influences.

Regardless of their party affiliation or preferred diplomatic priorities, presidents have invariably come to appreciate that they can- not afford to make foreign policy decisions in the same manner as they did when they were a candidate. The requirements of managing an enormous and complex national security bureau- cracy reward careful deliberation and strategic consistency, while sharply punishing the kind of policy shifts that are more common on the campaign trail. Statements by the president are taken far more seriously abroad than are promises by a candidate, by both allies and adversaries alike. And while policy mistakes made before entering office can damage a candidate’s personal political prospects, a serious misstep made once in office can put the country itself at risk.

    U.S. Department of Education Guidance Letter on Job-Driven Training to Tribal Leaders. (PDF)

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Dear Tribal Leader: As you are aware, President Obama is committed to strengthening the nation to nation relationship with Indian tribes as well as strengthening tribal communities in general. In 2009, President Obama issued a Memorandum on Consultation (Memorandum) to agency heads regarding consultation with Indian tribes. Since the President’s memo in 2009, the Administration has worked to ensure regular and meaningful consultation, collaboration, and communication between Indian tribes and the federal government. We believe that the Presidential Memorandum on Job-Driven Training represents an important opportunity for a nation-to-nation consultation and discussion. We would appreciate an opportunity to discuss with you how we can best structure such discussion in late summer or fall and explore how best to pursue the job-driven training theme in pertinent education and training programs in Indian country. As background, we have enclosed an important correspondence that Secretary of Labor Tom Perez, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia M. Burwell have sent to Governors across the country. In the 2014 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama prioritized the need to ensure that job seekers and workers are equipped with the skills to help them advance and that businesses are enabled to hire more skilled workers. Following the Address, the President issued a memorandum on January 30, 2014 and charged Vice President Joe Biden, together with our Departments, to carry out a Government-wide review of Federal job training and education programs to ensure that Federal workforce and training system resources are effectively aligned.

    Info Alert National Conference of State Legislatures Office of State-Federal Relations March 4, 2013 President Announces Three Cabinet-Level Nominations and Releases Report to Congress on Sequestration On March 4 President Obama made three cabinet-level position nominations: Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Ernest Moniz to be the secretary of Energy, and Sylvia Mathews Burwell to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). McCarthy is currently the Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation at EPA and has long been involved with environmental policy on the federal, state and local level, as an environmental policy advisor to five governors in her native Massachusetts, as well as holding the position of Commissioner for the Connecticut Environmental Protection Agency. Moniz is currently a professor of physics and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is director of MIT’s Energy Initiative program; he was previously undersecretary of Energy under President Clinton. Moniz has publicly stated his support for an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, as well as being outspoken for nuclear power, carbon capture and storage research, renewable energy and natural gas production from hydraulic fracturing. Burwell is currently head of the Wal-Mart Foundation, although she had previously worked under President Bill Clinton in the Department of Treasury.

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources will hold a hearing to confirm Jewell on March 7. Additionally, on March 1, the White House issued its Report to the Congress on the sequestration for fiscal year (FY) 2013.

'Both Stick and Carrot': US Threatens Afghan Taliban With Terrorist List if it Repudiates Promises by Morgan Artvukhina \ US State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Friday that listing the Taliban* as a terrorist organization was one tool in several that Washington could use to lure the Afghan militant group into living up to its promises, which include renouncing terrorism and ending support for terrorist groups. Asked at a Friday press conference about whether the threat of being placed on the State Department's Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list was a pressure tool Washington was using to get results from the Taliban, Price responded that it was. “We have a number of tools at our disposal. The Taliban, right now, is a specially designated global terrorist group. They’re on the SDGT designation list. That is one tool. It’s both a stick and ...a carrot, a potential inducement, to induce the Taliban to uphold those basic international norms, the basic rights of its people," Price said. "But the FTO list, other sanctions, that’s one single tool.” The SDGT list, maintained by the US Treasury, is used for applying financial sanctions to groups that frustrate their operations, while the FTO prohibits material support for them and is much higher profile.
