In his role as anchor, he presides over a three-hour live television marathon of viewers’ calls and interviews . His guests include members of Congress, representatives of various branches of government, lobbyists, world leaders and a variety of experts on anything dealing with politics or public policy . In addition to his work on the “Journal,” Robb is also C-SPAN’s Congressional Editor, managing the coverage of events on Capitol Hill . They include Congressional hearings, news conferences, speeches and other special events .

He started as a Washington, D .C . correspondent for the Sunworld Satellite News Service . From there he traveled south, working in Charleston, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina . Later, he moved west to Kansas City, Missouri and Memphis, Tennessee . He finished his local television work in Jacksonville, Florida .

His work at C-SPAN helped the network win a special Emmy Award for “Outstanding Election Coverage” in 2004 .

  • The Need to Counter Space Terrorism – a European Perspective
    The Need to Counter Space Terrorism – A European Perspective E S P I PERSPECTIVES 17 The Need to Counter Space Terrorism – A European Perspective Nina-Louisa REMUSS, Project Manager at ESPI The risk of terrorism spilling over from Earth to space is real and latent. However, the threat of “Space Terrorism” is currently to a large degree neglected by decision-makers. While security studies scholars have come to accept that actors and forms of threats changed after the end of the Cold War, space security studies lag behind this development and analyses the threat from State actors only. There is a need for a revised definition of “security” in space security studies. “Space Terrorism” is a timely topic especially in the light of the recent ESA Council Meeting at Ministerial level, which decided on the introduction of a preparatory programme on Space Situational Awareness (SSA) as well as the U.S.’ discussions on the reform of the U.S. export control system. Given the increased use of space for security purposes through programmes like Galileo and GMES, the upcoming Czech EU Presidency together with the other EU Member States and supported by the European Parliament has to address “Space Terrorism”, through the introduction of effective counter measures to protect satellites. It is frequently recalled that “Operation Desert are both motivated and capable of conducting a Storm” revealed to the world the great U.S. terrorist attack in space. Countering the space dependency and the resulting U.S. argument of fighting weaponisation through vulnerability. An adversary with the right weaponisation, it is argued that any space expertise could exploit this vulnerability by policy needs to be adapted to the new post- developing countermeasures against U.S.

    100819 Minot Task Force 21 and Geostrategic Analysis Triad Nuclear Modernization Conference with Former Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Robert Joseph, Senior Scholar at the National Institute for Public Policy MR. TOM RAFFERTY: Good afternoon. My name is Tom Rafferty and I’m with Task Force 21. I live in Minot, North Dakota, but in my formative years I did live on the Minot Air Force Base. My dad was in missile maintenance. I lived there until about the second grade. It has been fun reminiscing and making connections with some people at my table. Colonel Morgan was there when I was there, but I was probably about this tall or so. Anyway, North Dakotans like making connections. Our next speaker has a great connection to North Dakota, as in he’s from North Dakota. I’m going to introduce Ambassador Bob Joseph. He is a former Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy, and has had a long and distinguished career in national security affairs, especially in nuclear deterrence, arms control and nonproliferation. He is from Williston, North Dakota. Please welcome Ambassador Bob Joseph. (Applause). MR. ROBERT JOSEPH: Good afternoon. I was back in Williston two weeks ago and the sun was shining and it was shirt sleeve weather. I see that things have changed a little bit, but coming from North Dakota I’m very much used to those types of changes. Thank you for the kind introduction. I’ve had the great fortune of working with both Roger and John over the course of the last 30 years.

  • US Nuclear Weapons and Deterrence: Realist Versus Utopian
    Views US Nuclear Weapons and Deterrence Realist versus Utopian Thinking© Dr. Keith B. Payne debate over the future of the US nuclear arsenal is at a pivotal moment. The Obama administration has proposed to Congress a budget that calls for mod- ernization of the US “nuclear triad” of missiles, submarines, and bombers. AThis proposal is notable because presidential administrations and Congress have largely neglected US nuclear forces for over two decades; consequently, each part of the triad has aged or is aging rapidly, and according to National Security and Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century (2008), “The United States does not have the ability to produce new nuclear weapons.”1 The Congressional Budget Office notes that the Department of Defense will spend $15.4 billion on nuclear-weapons modernization in 2015—less than 3 percent of the department’s budget—and only slightly more ($15.9 billion) in fiscal year 2016. If the fledgling programs now requested are killed or further delayed, the US nuclear arsenal—already reduced by 80 percent since the end of the Cold War—will be further disarmed by neglect as the aging missiles, submarines, and bombers reach the end of their scheduled and extended service lives.2 The congressional defense budget hearings now under way reveal the fragility of the multiyear US nuclear modernization plan. For example, Frank Kendall, under- secretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics, reported to the Senate that under current defense budget projections, the United States will have “afford- ability problems” in producing the replacement for the existing submarine element of the nuclear triad.3 © National Institute for Public Policy, 2015.
