Rubenstein Fellow, Metropolitan Policy Program The Brookings Institution THE HONORABLE TERESA MOSQUEDA Councilmember Seattle City Council THE HONORABLE TOM WOLF Governor Commonwealth of Pennsylvania * * * * * ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 1800 Diagonal Road, Suite 600 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 WORKERS-2021/03/18 2 P R O C E E D I N G S MS. KINDER: Good morning and welcome to today’s event, “Essential Workers: One Year Into the COVID-19 Pandemic.” I’m Molly Kinder, a Rubenstein fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program here at the Brookings Institution. Over the next hour we will honor the country’s 50 million essential workers who’ve been on the COVID-19 frontline over the past year at great risk to themselves and to their families. They’re the grocery clerks, hospital workers, first responders, transit workers, home health aides, and so many more. Since the start of the pandemic we’ve expressed our gratitude to them for keeping us safe and fed and protected in a harrowing year. But, of course, essential workers need far more than just our praise. In a new Brookings Metro report published today, my colleague Laura Stateler and I write that a year into the pandemic much more needs to be done to ensure that essential workers receive decent pay, that they have the lifesaving protections that they need, and that they have the power to shape their work conditions and stay safe.

  • National Letter in Support of Federal All-Payer Claims Database
    National Letter in Support of Federal All-Payer Claims Database As health scholars, leaders of health organizations, and funders of health research, we are writing in support of establishing a federal all-payer claims database (APCD). APCDs regularly collect data on health insurance claims from all of the payers in a given area (typically a state). Because they include demographic and diagnostic data on patients as well as any treatment or drug paid for by insurance (private or public), APCDs can be immensely valuable for research. APCDs have been used by health scholars to study numerous issues about quality and cost, including the extent of long-term opioid use after surgery, the ability of Medicaid patients to access physicians, the amount of wasted medical spending ending on low-value care, the performance of new models to reduce health spending (such as patient-centered medical home programs), the rate of complications after routine surgeries, and the characteristics of the highest-cost Medicaid patients. In 2016, however, the Supreme Court rendered it all but impossible for states to establish comprehensive APCDs, on the grounds that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) preempted states from requiring reporting by self-insured health plans. As noted in the Journal of the American Medical Association, this Supreme Court decision has “far-reaching implications for the ability of states to access comprehensive health information to inform policy making.” In May 2019, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee released a draft of the Lower Health Care Costs Act. Among other things, that Act would amend ERISA to create a federal APCD whose data would be available to “researchers and policymakers.” While we are not all able to take a position on specific federal legislation, we can all agree that a national APCD would be an enormous leap forward for the ability of health researchers to study the cost and quality of medical care across the U.S.

INDYK: Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much for braving the snow. We’re very glad to have you here in the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings. I’m Martin Indyk, the director of the program. And we’re delighted to have David Gregory here for a second round of Meet the Press at Brookings. David needs no introduction, but I know he likes one, so I’ll just mention to you that he first joined NBC News in 1995. He, of course, served as the White House correspondent during the presidency of George W. Bush, where he’s renowned for his jokes -- no, his tough questions. He covered three presidential campaigns, 2000, 2004, 2008. He was appointed the moderator of NBC News Meet the Press in December of 2008, and since then, the program has done terrifically under his leadership. Of course, it’s way ahead in the ratings, and David, you deserve congratulations for that.

The West failed to predict the emergence of al- Qaeda in new forms across the Middle East and North Africa. It was blindsided by the ISIS sweep across Syria and Iraq, which at least temporarily changed the map of the Middle East. Both movements have skillfully continued to evolve and proliferate— and surprise. What’s next? Twenty experts from think tanks and universities across the United States explore the world’s deadliest movements, their strate- gies, the future scenarios, and policy considerations.

  • Donald Trump and the Future of US Leadership
    Donald Trump and the Future of U.S. Leadership: Some Observations on International Order, East Asia, and the Korean Peninsula Jonathan D. Pollack Senior Fellow and Interim SK-Korea Foundation Chair in Korea Studies, Foreign Policy The Brookings Institution **This paper was presented at the 5th Korea Research Institute for National Strategy-Brookings Institution Joint Conference on "The Trump Administration in the United States and the Future of East Asia and the Korean Peninsula" on February 8, 2017. The United States has never had a president like Donald Trump. He is a real estate investor, golf course developer, casino owner, product brander and television personality with no prior experience in government or in competing for elective office. He ran for president on the Republican ticket, but he has no enduring loyalties to either political party, although he has undeniably tied his political fortunes to the Republican Party. In decided contrast with other recent administrations, there is not a single Democrat in the Trump cabinet, and African- Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos and women are all minimally represented. Many observers characterize Trump as a populist who speaks on behalf of marginalized citizens, especially those whose economic status has severely eroded during decades of deindustrialization and job loss. This support might have been pivotal to his victory in November, but his actions since the election do not reflect this supposed commitment. Some observers even characterize the new president as a working class billionaire, which constitutes an extraordinary feat in public relations. His cabinet consists largely of individuals with great personal wealth, including a billionaire (Wilbur Ross, the Secretary of Commerce) who profited handsomely from the purchase of depressed industrial assets and 1 shuttered coal mines at bargain prices.

  • China As a "Cyber Great Power": Beijing's Two Voices In
    SECURITY, STRATEGY, AND ORDER APRIL 2021 CHINA AS A “CYBER GREAT POWER” BEIJING’S TWO VOICES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS RUSH DOSHI, EMILY DE LA BRUYÈRE, NATHAN PICARSIC, AND JOHN FERGUSON CHINA AS A “CYBER GREAT POWER” BEIJING’S TWO VOICES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS RUSH DOSHI, EMILY DE LA BRUYÈRE, NATHAN PICARSIC, AND JOHN FERGUSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY External Chinese government and commercial messaging on information technology (IT) speaks in one voice. Domestically, one hears a different, second voice. The former stresses free markets, openness, collaboration, and interdependence, themes that suggest Huawei and other Chinese companies ought to be treated like other global private sector actors and welcomed into foreign networks. Meanwhile, domestic Chinese government, commercial, and academic discourse emphasizes the limits of free markets and the dangers of reliance on foreign technologies — and, accordingly, the need for industrial policy and government control to protect technologies, companies, and networks. Domestic Chinese discourse also indicates that commercial communication networks, including telecommunications systems, might be used to project power and influence offensively; that international technical standards offer a means with which to cement such power and influence; and — above all — that IT architectures are a domain of zero-sum competition. That external Chinese government and corporate messaging might be disingenuous is by no means a novel conclusion. However, the core differences between that messaging and Chinese internal discussion on IT remain largely undocumented — despite China’s increasing development of and influence over international IT infrastructures, technologies, and norms. This report seeks to fill that gap, documenting the tension between external and internal Chinese discussions on telecommunications, as well as IT more broadly.

  • NATO's Readiness Action Plan: Strategic Benefits and Outstanding
    NATO’s Readiness Action Plan Strategic Benefits and Outstanding Challenges John-Michael Arnold Abstract In response to the reemergence of Russian military assertiveness and the rise of the Islamic State, the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion (NATO) unveiled a major initiative—the Readiness Action Plan (RAP)—at its September 2014 summit in Wales. With only a few months until the next NATO summit in Warsaw, Poland, now is an opportune time to evaluate the RAP and the steps taken to implement it so far. This article argues that, despite the limited scale of some of its measures, the RAP offers four major strategic benefits, which collec- tively outweigh its drawbacks. Even so, its effectiveness faces a series of significant challenges. To address them, there are nine policy recommen- dations NATO leaders should consider before they convene in Warsaw in July 2016. These recommendations are designed to allow the RAP to achieve the benefits it promises, thereby bolstering NATO’s ability to protect its members from aggression and to allow the alliance to respond effectively to crises. ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵ Two major surprises confronted NATO members in 2014. First, through its aggression in Ukraine, Russia repudiated the idea that Eu- rope’s post–Cold War borders are settled and should not be adjusted through force. Russia’s adherence to that norm was already questionable John-Michael Arnold is a PhD candidate at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he is a Bradley Fellow and Center for International Security Studies Fellow.

  • The Biden Challenge in Foreign Policy
    BRIEFING What Think Tanks are Thinking 12 March 2021 The Biden challenge in foreign policy Nearly two months ago, on 20 January, Joseph Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, at the end of perhaps the most divisive electoral processes in his country's history. The new President's supporters and advocates, including many in Europe, are counting on him to set a new course for the US in global politics, moving to firm up and advance the multilateral, rules- based world order and rekindle America's traditional alliances, notably within the NATO framework. Very high hopes and expectations have been raised about the potential of Washington to make a decisive shift from the assumptions and actions of Trump years. This note offers links to recent commentaries, studies and reports from international think tanks on President Biden's early weeks in office and the various expectations regarding his presidency, especially in respect of the place of the United States in the world.

  • With Former National Security Advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice
    A “Fireside Conversation” with Former National Security Advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice The Brookings Institution Washington, D.C. Tuesday, October 30, 2018 INTRODUCTION On October 30, 2018, former national security advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice participated in a “fireside conversation” at the Brookings Institution to discuss U.S.-China relations. The event, part of the first major collaboration between the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School and the John L. Thornton Center at Brookings, showcased the current views about the U.S.-China relationship from two of the leading foreign policy figures in the Democratic and Republican parties. Their service in the most senior foreign policy positions in our government spanned the sixteen years between 2001-2017, during the administrations of President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. They expressed a substantial degree of agreement on current challenges and priorities. Both believe that the relationship with China has entered a new stage of significantly more competition and that the central challenge is to find effective ways to manage this more intense competition while also developing areas of cooperation. And they each enumerated a range of concrete steps to advance those goals in the time ahead. The full transcript appears below. “China is different today, the United “We are going to be in a greater degree States is different today. The trick of competition with China than we have will be to recognize that a more been in the past.
