The report raises serious concerns about the Department’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) which require a response from Department leadership. The report details a series of problems related to the legality of I&A operations, I&A’s relationships with other federal as well as state and local authorities, the allocation of resources and personnel, management and the internal climate at I&A, and accountability. We request that the Department provide the Congress an explanation of how it will address each of these issues, the extent to which the Department accepts and intends to implement the recommendations included in the report, and any additional reforms the Department may support.

  • Fact Sheet: Senator Marco Rubio’S Republican Address to the Nation
    FACT SHEET: SENATOR MARCO RUBIO’S REPUBLICAN ADDRESS TO THE NATION Rubio: “Economic growth is the best way to help the middle class. … I hope the President will abandon his obsession with raising taxes and instead work with us to achieve real growth in our economy.” RUBIO: LIMITED GOVERNMENT & FREE ENTERPRISE – NOT BIG GOVERNMENT – WILL STRENGTHEN AMERICA’S MIDDLE CLASS Rubio: “Presidents in both parties – from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan – have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of our middle class prosperity. Enacted After His Death, Kennedy’s Tax Relief Cut The Top Marginal Rate To 70% From 91%. The Economy Grew 5.5%, Unemployment Dropped To 3.8% & The Annual Deficit Shrank From $7 Billion To $1 Billion. Rubio: “This idea – that our problems were caused by a government that was too small – it’s just not true. In fact, a major cause of our recent downturn was a housing crisis created by reckless government policies.” Forbes: “There is very little doubt that the underlying cause of the current credit crisis was a housing bubble. But the collapse of the bubble would not have led to a worldwide recession and credit crisis if almost 40% of all U.S. mortgages--25 million loans--were not of the low quality known as subprime or Alt-A. These loans were made to borrowers with blemished credit, or involved low or no down payments, negative amortization and limited documentation of income. The loans’ unprecedentedly high rates of default are what is driving down housing prices and weakening the financial system.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • Global Liquidity Speaker Series Post US Election – Impact of a New Administration January 26, 2021
    Global Liquidity Speaker Series Post US Election – Impact of a new administration January 26, 2021 Speakers: Adam Glassman Edward Hill Mark Cabana Coordinator Good day, everyone, and welcome to the Bank of America 2021 Global Liquidity Speaker Series titled Post-US Election Impact of a New Administration conference call, hosted by Adam Glassman. My name is Patrick, and I’m your event operator. During the presentation, your lines will remain on listen-only. [Operator instructions]. I would like to advise all parties this conference is being recorded for replay and transcription purposes. Now, I’d like to hand over to Adam. Please go ahead. Adam Thank you, Patrick. Hello, and welcome to everyone to this TTS Liquidity Speaker Series, where we’ll attempt to measure some of the potential impacts of a new administration and a new Congress. Again, my name is Adam Glassman, I am Head of Deposit, Balance, and Rate Strategy for GTS at Bank of America. I’m joined here today by Mark Cabana, Head of US Rate Strategy at Bank of America Global Research, and Edward Hill, Public Policy Executive, also here at Bank of America. I think if some of you were on the last call, the last time we were together on a call like this was on election day. We had some great conversation about the possible outcomes and potential changes in policies and approach for each administration. Here we are, and a lot has happened since. Since this is only a 30-minute call, I guess we’ll jump right in. We, again, have seen, obviously, the Biden administration come in, and sort of a blue wave in both the Senate and the Congress.

  • Using Activists' Pairwise Comparisons to Measure Ideology
    Is John McCain more conservative than Rand Paul? Using activists' pairwise comparisons to measure ideology ∗ Daniel J. Hopkins Associate Professor University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Hans Noely Associate Professor Georgetown University [email protected] April 3, 2017 Abstract Political scientists use sophisticated measures to extract the ideology of members of Congress, notably the widely used nominate scores. These measures have known limitations, including possibly obscuring ideological positions that are not captured by roll call votes on the limited agenda presented to legislators. Meanwhile scholars often treat the ideology that is measured by these scores as known or at least knowable by voters and other political actors. It is possible that (a) nominate fails to capture something important in ideological variation or (b) that even if it does measure ideology, sophisticated voters only observe something else. We bring an alternative source of data to this subject, asking samples of highly involved activists to compare pairs of senators to one another or to compare a senator to themselves. From these pairwise comparisons, we can aggregate to a measure of ideology that is comparable to nominate. We can also evaluate the apparent ideological knowledge of our respondents. We find significant differences between nominate scores and the perceived ideology of politically sophisticated activists. ∗DRAFT: PLEASE CONSULT THE AUTHORS BEFORE CITING. Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association in Chicago, April 6-9, 2017. We would like to thank Michele Swers, Jonathan Ladd, and seminar participants at Texas A&M University and Georgetown University for useful comments on earlier versions of this project.

    March 20, 2020 The Honorable Shelley Moore Capito The Honorable Jon Tester Chairwoman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Homeland Security Senate Committee on Appropriations Senate Committee on Appropriations Dear Chairwoman Capito and Ranking Member Tester: As the Subcommittee begins deliberations on the Fiscal Year 2021 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, we write to respectfully request that the U.S.-Israel Homeland Security Program receive an appropriation of $2 million. Israel has emerged as a global leader in developing technologies for homeland security. Recognizing Israel’s expertise, the United States is partnering with Israel through the U.S.-Israel Homeland Security Program to advance first responder technologies; secure critical infrastructure and public facilities; provide maritime, aviation, and border security; and prevent and respond to cyber-attacks. The Program is administered by the U.S.-Israel Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate and the Israel Ministry of Public Security. Congress has supported the Program for years, having provided its initial authorization through the United States- Israel Advanced Research Partnership Act of 2016, P.L. 114-304. The U.S.-Israel Homeland Security Program received $2 million in Fiscal Year 2020, and is leveraged by Israeli funding. Examples of recent bilateral projects that support the U.S. homeland security mission include development of an unmanned search and rescue system to find victims under ruins and in disaster areas by locating their cellular phones, a wearable indoor positioning system that first responders can use when GPS and other satellite-based technologies fail, and an artificial intelligence-based analytics video security solution used to protect public facilities.
