General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade / RESTRICTED C/W/362 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 29 May 1981 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution REGIONAL AGREEMENTS Calendar of Biennial Reports for Examination At their twenty-seventh session the CONTRACTING PARTIES instructed the Council to establish a calendar fixing dates for the examination, every two years, of the reports on regional agreements (SR.27/12, page 167). In November 1978 the Council agreed on a time-table covering the period April 1979-October 1980 (L/4725). In order to assist the Council in establishing a new calendar, there is herewith attached a table showing various agreements, the dates on which the last biennial reports were submitted or, if applicable, the dates of the reports of the relevant working parties. On the basis of these data a tentative calendar has been suggested for the submission of reports. The table does not include agreements in respect of which the question of biennial reporting was not decided by the Counci I. The listing has been prepared without prejudice to the possibility that certain agreements among developing countries may be covered by the Decision on Differential and More Favourable Treatment, Reciprocity and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries ("enabling clause") (BISD 26S/203). It might be noted in this respect that the Committee on Trade and Development has primary responsibility for super­ vision of the implementation of that Decision. (3ISD 26S/219) When establishing a new time-table, the Council will be aware that some of the agreements listed may be renegotiated in the ensuing period. The time-table may, therefore, be revised as appropriate. m C/W/362 Page 2 Report Regional Agreement Working Party Council Proposed date submitted report discussion for reporting" ASEAN (L/4735) Jan.1979 Oct.1981 Bangkok Agreement Due March 1978 March 1978 Oct.1981 March 1980 (L/4635) Central American Dec.1978 Jan.1979 Oct.1981 Common Market Jan.1979 March 1979 (L/4731 + Add.1) Caribbean Community Due March 1977 March 1977 Oct.1981 and Common Market April 1979 (L/4470) EECrAlgeria Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct.1982 (L/5030) EEC-Cyprus May 1980 June 1980 Apr.1982 (L/4982) EEC-Egypt Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct.1982 (L/5029) EEC-Israel1 Nov.1979 Jan.1980 Apr.1983 (L/4886) EEC-Jordan Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct.1982 (L/5029) EEC-Lebanon Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct .1982 (L/5029) EEC-Malta April 1980 June 1980 Apr.1982 (L/4966) EEC-Morocco Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct.1982 (L/5030) EEC-Spain May 1980 June 1980 Apr.1982 (L/4973) EEC-Syria Sept.1980 Oct.1980 Oct.1982 (L/5029) The parties have submitted a report (L/5174) for the consideration of the Council at its next meeting.

    MODERN DRUMMER VOL. 4 NO. 2 FEATURES: NEIL PEART As one of rock's most popular drummers, Neil Peart of Rush seriously reflects on his art in this exclusive interview. With a refreshing, no-nonsense attitude. Peart speaks of the experi- ences that led him to Rush and how a respect formed between the band members that is rarely achieved. Peart also affirms his belief that music must not be compromised for financial gain, and has followed that path throughout his career. 12 PAUL MOTIAN Jazz modernist Paul Motian has had a varied career, from his days with the Bill Evans Trio to Arlo Guthrie. Motian asserts that to fully appreciate the art of drumming, one must study the great masters of the past and learn from them. 16 FRED BEGUN Another facet of drumming is explored in this interview with Fred Begun, timpanist with the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C. Begun discusses his approach to classical music and the influences of his mentor, Saul Goodman. 20 INSIDE REMO 24 RESULTS OF SLINGERLAND/LOUIE BELLSON CONTEST 28 COLUMNS: EDITOR'S OVERVIEW 3 TEACHERS FORUM READERS PLATFORM 4 Teaching Jazz Drumming by Charley Perry 42 ASK A PRO 6 IT'S QUESTIONABLE 8 THE CLUB SCENE The Art of Entertainment ROCK PERSPECTIVES by Rick Van Horn 48 Odd Rock by David Garibaldi 32 STRICTLY TECHNIQUE The Technically Proficient Player JAZZ DRUMMERS WORKSHOP Double Time Coordination by Paul Meyer 50 by Ed Soph 34 CONCEPTS ELECTRONIC INSIGHTS Drums and Drummers: An Impression Simple Percussion Modifications by Rich Baccaro 52 by David Ernst 38 DRUM MARKET 54 SHOW AND STUDIO INDUSTRY HAPPENINGS 70 A New Approach Towards Improving Your Reading by Danny Pucillo 40 JUST DRUMS 71 STAFF: EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Ronald Spagnardi FEATURES EDITOR: Karen Larcombe ASSOCIATE EDITORS: Mark Hurley Paul Uldrich MANAGING EDITOR: Michael Cramer ART DIRECTOR: Tom Mandrake The feature section of this issue represents a wide spectrum of modern percussion with our three lead interview subjects: Rush's Neil Peart; PRODUCTION MANAGER: Roger Elliston jazz drummer Paul Motian and timpanist Fred Begun.

Agricultural-Food Policy Review: Perspectives for the 1980's. Economics and Statistics Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. AFPR4. Preface The nine articles collected here provide background for discussions on new legislation. to replace the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, which expires this year. New legislation will be influenced by the much altered nature of U.S. farming. * Almost all easily available cropland, including that once idled by farm programs, is now back in production. Millions of acres of potential cropland remain, but are not as productive or need to be improved (cleared, drained, irrigated, for example). * The long period of overproduction, burdensome surpluses, and depressed farm prices now seems to be behind us, although there may still be occasional years of excess production. * International food needs now heavily influence the well-being of U.S. agriculture in any given year. * The character of U.S. farming has changed as fewer but larger farms now produce most of our total agricultural production. Agricultural-FoodPolicy Review is an occasional publication that addresses important policy and legislative matters pertaining to agriculture and food.

  • Democracy and the Nature of American Influence in Iran, 1941-1979'
    H-Diplo Shannon on Collier, 'Democracy and the Nature of American Influence in Iran, 1941-1979' Review published on Sunday, October 1, 2017 David R. Collier. Democracy and the Nature of American Influence in Iran, 1941-1979. Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2017. 448 pp. $75.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8156-3497-3. Reviewed by Matthew Shannon (Emory & Henry College) Published on H-Diplo (October, 2017) Commissioned by Seth Offenbach David Collier has offered an innovate reading of US-Iran relations from 1941 to 1979. He begins by reminding readers that scholars too often “neglect” the “all-encompassing approach” to studying the binational relationship during the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (p. 5). Indeed, I have suggested that this is a significant historiographic intervention, as diplomatic histories on the period are divided between two genres.[1] The first is that of the sweeping narrative similar to the works of Barry Rubin, James Bill, and Richard Cottam in the 1980s.[2] The second genre, Collier notes, consists of “snapshots” of events such as the 1953 coup (p. 5). As the US government has declassified more documents, the literature has moved beyond the reporting of Rubin and the history-memoirs of Bill and Cottam to archive-based research on moments ranging from John F. Kennedy’s presidency to Jimmy Carter’s handling of the Iranian Revolution. Today, historians are in a position to revisit the entirety of the US relationship with the last shah, and that is what Collier does through “the framework of linkage and leverage” (p. 3). He borrows the concept from political scientists Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way’s 2010 book Competitive Authoritarianism to explain how US leverage over the shah’s behavior waxed and waned during his rule, and how connections between the two societies did or did not facilitate democracy promotion.
