  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

  • Andrea Doria/Stockholm Collision
    An Objective Forensic Analysis of the Collision Between Stockholm and Andrea Doria By Samuel Halpern FOREWORD Mr. Halpern has done an excellent job of documenting the causes of the Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision. By careful analysis of the course recorder traces, Mr. Halpern points out the role that the helmsman of the Stockholm played in the collision. The analysis of the course recorder traces seems to lay to rest the theory that the wrong radar range scale was used by the 3rd Mate of the Stockholm just prior to the collision. In addition, the collision dynamics calculations and “what if” scenarios were also quite interesting in that they illustrate for the reader what might have been. Mr. Halpern’s list of contributing factors spell out the major causes of the collision. All in all, this is a very well researched paper that should be part of any Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision buff’s reading on the subject. Capt. Les Eadie Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation Operations Maine Maritime Academy Castine, Maine INTRODUCTION On the night of July 25, 1956 the eastbound Swedish passenger liner Stockholm collided with the westbound Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria in what was to be described as the world’s first major radar assisted collision at sea. The collision happened approximately 180 nautical miles east of the Ambrose Lightship at 11:11 p.m. local time. The Andrea Doria was struck just aft and below the starboard bridge wing and almost immediately took on a severe list of almost 20 degrees to starboard leaving half of her lifeboats unusable.
