Project Title:

Journalism under Fire

Project Description:

Over 14-15 November 2019, the Santa Fe Council on International Relations (CIR) will convene its second annual Journalism under Fire conference. This will bring 25 international journalists; major journalist speakers from Washington DC, New York, and New Mexico; several renowned photojournalists; and a keynote speaker from , to Santa Fe to share their perspectives and experiences on how technology shaping the truth? On November 14th, the conference will open at La Fonda on the Plaza before moving, on November 15th, to the New Mexico State Capitol Building.

An investigation of the conference's core question will lead us to consider the intersection between social media and fake news; between the role of artificial intelligence and media creation and consumption; and how podcasting is gradually changing the nature and scope of the news media. While the conference will feature a mixture of parallel and plenary sessions, it will also have workshops for students to learn skills from the presenters; interview opportunities for students with the international journalists; and several displays of the work of world-class photojournalists.

As with last year, we will offer either free or heavily subsidized tickets to NM students (high school and college, with a particular focus on journalism students at UNM), teachers, and practicing NM journalists. We believe this conference is a unique and compelling opportunity to strengthen the press (and rising journalists) in New Mexico itself due to the countless learning opportunities available.

1. What is planned?

Over 14-15 November 2019, the Santa Fe Council on International Relations (CIR) will stage our second annual Journalism under Fire conference. Again in partnership with the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF), this will bring an array of journalistic talent to Santa Fe. First, through our 54-year-old partnership with the U.S. State Department, we'll bring 25 prominent journalists from across Africa through the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Program. These are francophone and anglophone journalists selected by US embassies for their strong body of work; as last year's delegation, they will provide a vibrant and global journalistic core to the event. Second, we'll bring an array of speakers from major national media outlets, including the Washington Post, New York Times, and NPR, alongside several world-class freelancers. Third, as last year, we'll bring major journalists from New Mexico and the region to showcase essential local perspectives, and to localize its content.

Where last year we asked, "Are we free without a free press?" this year we'll explore, "How does technology shape the truth?". We'll dive into complex topics such as the intersection between social media platforms and fake news; the role of artificial intelligence in informing content creation and content consumption; and how individual technologies -- from podcasts to the camera -- are increasingly changing the media landscape. We have already confirmed some major speakers for the event, details of which are provided in Section 4 below.

On November 14th, we'll begin with a catered lunch for 350 people at La Fonda on the Plaza in its Lumpkins Ballroom. This will feature a keynote speaker; we'll determine who will deliver it by the end of June when we have confirmed all speakers. Following this will be two panel discussions touching on the conference theme, and the afternoon will conclude with another keynote presentation. There will then be a 90-minute break so that the ballroom can be reset for 600 theater-style seats. This will set the scene for our Grand Opening Event, to transpire from 6-8pm. With students, teachers, and NM journalists receiving complimentary passes, this event will begin with wine, cheese and networking over a set of innovative cubes featuring 5 different photographs (all prepared by Ron Haviv). The formal program will then begin, featuring the UWC World Choir and the New Mexico Peace Choir, then segueing into speeches from the Governor of New Mexico; the Mayor of Santa Fe (as last year); and then a major keynote address from a world-renowned journalist or speaker. We expect 600+ people in the audience.

On November 15th, we will move to the State Capitol Building. The same photographic cubes (along with stand-alone photographs on easels) will be situated in the Rotunda. The day will feature an opening plenary session in the legislative chambers, then move into 3 parallel sessions in council rooms, with lunch served just beside the Rotunda. Following this will be another plenary session, another set of parallel sessions, and a concluding plenary session likely offered by Ron Haviv to detail his work as a global photojournalist. There will then be a two-hour break before a concluding dinner event at Hotel Santa Fe for 150; this will again feature a major keynote.

Essential to the conference is the participation of NM students, teachers, and journalists. As last year, we will hire a leading student from UNM's School of Communications and Journalism to serve as a project intern; s/he will ensure wide student awareness of the conference, and will help shape the student aspect of the conference. This will provide two unique opportunities for students: first, there will be one workshop on Thursday the 14th and two on Friday the 15th where they can have small-group instruction with the conference speakers. This was an enormous success last year. Second, they will have the opportunity to interview the international journalists about their experiences in working in various African countries.

We are also dedicated to having numerous practicing NM journalists attend the conference. As last year, we will offer them either free or heavily subsidized tickets to attend. Free tickets will be awarded on a competitive basis; subsidized tickets will be $6 per day (including some meals and all coffee breaks). In our experience in staging events, participants do not attend in as high a number as they do when they must pay something, even if a nominal fee.

This proposal outlines two types of support from the NM Humanities Council: assistance in flying speakers to Santa Fe; and supporting either free or subsidized tickets to students, teachers, and journalists. We will provide up to 50 free tickets to this cohort for Day One (as we have greater capacity at La Fonda), alongside a set of heavily subsidized tickets, likely set at $6. We will provide up to 25 free tickets to this cohort for Day Two, alongside another set of subsidized tickets, also likely set at $6. We will also provide a number of free tickets to the general public for the Opening Event. Actual ticket prices will be determined in August when we will have a clearer sense of our financial inputs and our financial needs. Last year, a story about the conference appeared in both the print and online versions of the Washington Post; the city of Santa Fe values this publicity at $250,000 due to the increased awareness of Santa Fe for a national audience. We expect this year's conference to have the same impact -- not only in direct tourism-based revenue, but also via earned media coverage. Our programs have reached a level of great maturity and sophistication, and we are increasingly seen as an innovative convener of important talks on issues of high public interest. This conference will only add to that reputation; we believe that many of the ingredients for success are already in place.

2. When will it take place?

The event will take place over 14-15 November, 2019. These dates were carefully selected in discussion with the US State Department to ensure the availability of international journalists. Further, as these dates are in the shoulder season of Santa Fe's tourism industry, as last year these dates help to fill important gaps for local hotels and restaurants, with out-of-town conference participants making invaluable contributions to the local economy. These dates also allow for NM elected leaders to attend as their availability tends to be greater during this period. Moreover, as these two days are weekdays, we believe this will attract increased numbers of students, teachers, and entire classrooms; last year we had 7 full classrooms visit the conference.

3. Where will it take place?

There are three main venues for the conference. On November 14th, we'll be at La Fonda on the Plaza in its Lumpkins Ballroom. This is a unique Santa Fe venue that marries historic charm with capacity -- we can have 350 people for a seated lunch in this room, and over 600 for theater-style seating. Then, on November 15th, we'll move to the New Mexico State Capitol Building to take advantage of the prestigious legislative chambers, its art exhibits, and its beautiful Rotunda, which will add instrumentally to the networking, ambiance, and gravitas of the conference. That evening, we'll have a concluding dinner event at Hotel Santa Fe. This is the hotel where the international visitors and conference speakers will stay; it is our major business partner in town; and we believe provides an intimate and effective setting for a closing dinner.

4. Who are the managers and planners for this project? Please provide brief qualifications of required project personnel in relation to this project, including Project Director, Fiscal Agent, Scholar(s) and Evaluator.

The event manager and planner is Sandy Campbell, the Executive Director of the Santa Fe Council on International Relations (CIR). He organized the first offering of Journalism under Fire, selling just under 1200 tickets to the three-and-a-quarter day event in December of 2018, and regularly stages 2-5 public programs every month for CIR, using various funding and marketing methods to do so.

The Fiscal Agent is CIR's Office Manager, Susan Jay. She handles all bookkeeping for CIR, is fluent at QuickBooks Online, and carefully manages project-based funding. She has held the post for 10 years; as our books are formally audited every other year (and reviewed in intervening years), she is highly skilled at financial management in a nonprofit setting.

We have confirmed seven speakers so far, detailed below. We expect to add an additional eight national speakers, alongside ten local speakers, by the end of June 2019. Additionally, five of the visiting international journalists will speak during a parallel session, though due to State Department regulations, we will not know their exact identities until November 2019. ?Dana Priest has worked for nearly 30 years for the Washington Post, twice winning the Pulitzer Prize for her investigative reporting. She was our top-ranked speaker from last year. ?Hannah Allam (NPR) is a Washington-based national security correspondent for NPR, focusing on homegrown extremism. Previously, she was a national correspondent at BuzzFeed News, covering U.S. Muslims, race, religion, and culture. She spoke last year and was highly evaluated. ?Dr. Janet Steele is an associate professor of journalism at the George Washington University and the director of the Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication. She spoke last year and was highly evaluated. ?Michael Morell is an American former career intelligence analyst. He served as the deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2010 to 2013 and twice as its acting director, first in 2011 and then from 2012 to 2013. ?Rana Ayyub is an Indian journalist and writer. She is the author of the groundbreaking book, Files: Anatomy of a Cover Up. ?Ron Haviv is an Emmy nominated and award-winning photojournalist and co-founder of the VII Agency, dedicated to documenting conflict and raising awareness about human rights issues around the globe. ?Mark Danner is a writer, journalist and professor who has written for three decades on foreign affairs and international conflict. He has covered Central America, Haiti, Balkans, Iraq and the greater Middle East, with a focus on human rights violations.

Susan Boe is the project evaluator. She is the former Executive Director of Searchlight NM, a nonpartisan, nonprofit news organization dedicated to investigative reporting and innovative data journalism. She is also the former executive director of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, where she helped reporters and citizens with issues in accessing public records from government agencies. A retired attorney, she was formerly a partner at an international law firm with a specialty in media law.

5. How does this project involve the humanities disciplines?

Most of the speakers are fully trained and accredited journalists, capable of speaking across a range of disciplines, from history to world affairs to literature to current events to national security. Using the humanities as a basis of understanding, these speakers are capable of connecting unique dots to boost our collective comprehension of major issues facing today's societies. These speakers have all been selected for their strong systems-thinking abilities, to present a view of the forest and the trees, as we believe there is no one correct way of understanding the great complexity of technology's influence on the media. The topic demands a transdisciplinary humanities approach.

Rana Ayyub will speak to her experience as a target of a deep fake video (as retaliation for her reporting), to the ways in which social media influences social discourse in India, to the rationale for Sri Lanka disconnecting its citizens from social media following the recent church bombings. She will speak about the murder of the woman who published her book.

Michael Morell will speak to his experience as a podcaster (of Intelligence Matters), and how this provides a unique platform to connect his great experience in the CIA with this more individualized type of mass news media.

Ron Haviv will speak to how the camera, as a piece of technology, has over the years changed media irrevocably, using his own work in countless ways around the world to hold a complex and often ugly truth to power, especially in the pursuit of human rights.

Dana Priest will connect essential dots between national security, technology, and the truth, drawing upon her decades as an investigative reporter to illustrate how the tool of technology can and cannot hold power to account. She will provide specific case studies from her work.

Mark Danner will talk about his experience working in conflict zones around the world, and how technology has exposed -- and occasionally deepened -- human rights abuses around the world.

Hannah Allam and Janet Steele will both lend their outstanding moderation skills to several panel discussions, as they both did at last year's conference. This is an essential ingredient in pushing forward smart and fluid conversations. Dr. Steele is an expert in the topic of Journalism and Islam, and Ms. Allam has reported extensively on national security and Islam over the course of her career. They may also participate in a panel discussion as panelists.

6. What are the evaluation criteria for this project?

Using several different evaluative tools, we will assess the conference using several criteria. These include: ?Depth and width of learning among audience members. How accessible/esoteric is the humanities content to the audience? Did their contributions lead to specific learning outcomes among conference participants? Was the audience actively involved via regularly offered Q&A sessions? What are the key takeaways for the audience? What did they "think" about technology and the media before the conference, and what do they "think" now? Did they learn anything new -- and if so, what? We will assess these metrics through paper/online evaluation forms offered to each participant, with a balance of quantitative and qualitative questions. There will be no more than 10 questions per form. We will then formally collate and synthesize this data to create a full evaluative picture of the event from an audience perspective. ?Number of earned media pieces and social media engagements ?At an organizational level, we'll use several internal metrics to ensure we learn as much as possible, with this learning contributing to the next year of the conference. These will address speaker quality, revenue vs expenditures, speaker formats/modalities, reach into NM political sphere, effectiveness of conference venues, ticket pricing schemes, and so on. We believe it is essential to learn as much as possible from the event to ensure our conferences become stronger and stronger. ?We will also have a short evaluation for speakers to complete.

7. What is the role of the humanities scholar(s) in this project? The scholars in this case will be the journalists and authors who will lead the public programing through plenary presentations, parallel session presentations, student workshops, interviews, and small discussion groups. On Friday the 15th, we expect to offer 90-minute Citizen Exchange Circles as one of the parallel sessions, which will allow conference participants to directly interact with the international journalists in facilitated conversations. Beyond this, we will provide a number of means and opportunities to promote one-on-one or informal small group discussions with the speakers and visiting journalists. This will happen over the networking opportunities -- before the Grand Opening Event, at the conference's many meals, and during its coffee breaks. Participating students will have various opportunities to directly connect with speakers, either at the dedicated workshops, or by interviewing the international journalists.

Ultimately, the humanities scholars will vastly expand the knowledge of conference participants on topics that often do not receive widespread attention. This is not purely a conference on history or world affairs or the state of journalism itself. It is an event that promotes transdisciplinary thinking, offering new ways of thinking about every-day technology (the smart phone, Facebook, ) and how our use of these technologies inevitably shapes both the truth and our understandings of the truth. The presence of the African journalists is key in this regard. As has been well documented, social media platforms in various African countries have been regularly abused by malicious actors in spreading false narratives, often for political gain. In Nigeria, for instance, a fake organization designed to promote LGBTQ rights was established; it then officially endorsed via social media a presidential candidate, which created a massive scandal in this very traditional, anti-gay rights country. There are documented efforts in at least 39 African countries of fake news targeting political candidates and electoral cycles. What can we in the United States learn from these efforts? And what kind of counter-efforts have been launched?

In some ways, this is the most important role of the global and national scholars at the conference: using case study examples from far-away places to help us better understand New Mexico, Santa Fe, and ourselves. This is a potent way of learning; while many attending will have never visited Africa previously, they will learn something directly from the African experience that can influence their own life for the better. Moreover, in learning from major scholars capable of connecting seemingly disconnected dots, participants will take significant learnings back into their own lives.

8. Who are the proposed audience/participants? Estimate of audience size?

We will offer three different tickets for the conference, with different ticket price structures within these. First, we will offer a ticket to the two days of conference, either with meals or with coffee only (wherein people can bring their own food). The general public will pay one price for the food ticket (likely around $100), CIR members a slightly reduced price (likely $85), and students, teachers, and journalists will pay a modest fee to ensure participation (likely $12). Coffee-only tickets will be about 35% of these prices. As detailed above, there will be a generous number of complimentary tickets for students, teachers, and journalists available on a competitive basis. Single day tickets will be also available. Second, we'll offer a stand-alone ticket to the closing dinner on November 15th, with different prices as per the above tiers. We will also have a competitive/scholarship process for a set of free tickets to the public. Third, we will offer both free and low-cost tickets to the Grand Opening Event for the general public.

For Day One and Two, we expect 280 participants (as this is Roundhouse capacity). For the Grand Opening Event we expect 600+. For the closing dinner, we expect 150. Of crucial importance to this proposal is supporting free or subsidized tickets. We believe strongly that as many people as possible should attend, yet must balance this with our costs. This conference is not a profit-making venture, but rather one of civic value.

9. What kind of publicity is planned to reach the audience?

Our publicity will focus on a New Mexico audience first and foremost, with limited efforts beyond the state. For our primary outreach, we will partner with the Santa Fe New Mexican (as last year), the Albuquerque Journal and with media organizations and social networks (eg NM InDepth, the Society of Professional Journalists) across the state for various advertisements and earned media pieces. Partnerships and in-kind contributions are, we believe, essential to attracting an audience interested in journalism events. We also have a significant mailing list of attendees from last year, alongside our corporate list and large student mailing list; these mailing lists are our primary marketing channels, with proven effectiveness.

Beyond NM, we will rely on our sister world affairs council to drive marketing among their members. We also have strong connections at Arizona State University, UTEP, and the University of Colorado. For student populations in New Mexico, we will use our intern to drive these efforts across multiple NM student populations. Importantly, our offer of free and subsidized tickets to students, teachers, and journalists -- directly supported by the NM Humanities Council -- will be a primary marketing tool. We believe this grant funding will play an instrumental role in making attendance more realistic for many, and more appealing. We also intend to use grant funds to establish a small competitive scholarship offer to the general public, which again will serve a strong marketing purpose.

10. Of what value is this project to the audience?

The primary value of this project lies in strong learning outcomes among the general public, with special attention to students, teachers, and practicing journalists. Beyond an increased understanding of some of the key and current challenges to journalism, conference participants will leave with new and profound insights into how every day technology has a direct role into the truth - how it is reported, frequently distorted, and ultimately digested. One key methodology for achieving this will be in the presentation of case studies from beyond the United States, effectively raising a mirror to our own experience here. We will better understand how social media can be (and has been) weaponized here by understanding how it has been weaponized elsewhere. Moreover, the caliber of the speakers at the event, and their unique transdisciplinary abilities, will create routine moments of great intellectual insight.

As importantly, through the NM Humanities Council's support for free and subsidized tickets for students, teachers, and journalists -- alongside a small pool of free tickets for the general public -- we will work to strengthen the public square on issues related to the media. By exposing students and journalists in particular to the discussions, we will also contribute to a stronger press and journalistic standards in New Mexico, which will by definition further influence New Mexicans' understandings of key events in the state, region, country, and beyond.

11. Now that you have answered the above questions, please condense the project description into three sentences suitable for publicity. Be sure to include funding support credits for NMHC and NEH in the three sentence description.

With support from the New Mexico Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, in November 2019 the Santa Fe Council on International Relations will stage its second annual Journalism under Fire conference. This will bring international journalists and world-class speakers to Santa Fe to address how technology is increasingly shaping the truth, exploring the intersections of social media and fake news, artificial intelligence and the media, and the rising role of podcasts in the media landscape. With unique support offered to students, teachers, and journalists, Journalism under Fire will leave another indelible impact on northern New Mexico.

General Requirements

The New Mexico Humanities Council (NMHC) is required to seek from institutional applicants a certification regarding the nondiscrimination statutes and from all applicants certifications regarding debarment and suspension, and federal debt status.

By signing and submitting a proposal, the individual applicant or the authorizing official of the applicant institution provides the applicable certifications. When a prospective applicant is unable to certify regarding the nondiscrimination statutes, the prospective applicant is not eligible to apply for funding from NMHC. When the applicant is unable to certify regarding debarment and suspension or federal debt status the applicant shall attach an explanation to the proposal. The explanation of why the certification on debarment and suspension cannot be submitted will be considered in connection with NMHC's funding determination. Failure to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify the applicant from receiving an award from NMHC.

The certifications are material representations of fact upon which reliance will be placed when NMHC determines to fund the application. If it is later determined that the applicant knowingly provided an erroneous certification or did not comply with requirements, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government, the National Endowment for the Humanities or NMHC may seek judicial enforcement of the certification (nondiscrimination statutes) or may terminate the award for cause or default (debarment and suspension or federal debt status).

The applicant shall provide immediate written notice to NMHC if at any time the applicant learns that its verifications were erroneous when submitted or have become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

Nondiscrimination Statutes

The certification regarding the nondiscrimination statutes shall obligate the applicant for the period during which the federal financial assistance is extended. There are two exceptions. If any personal property is acquired with NMHC's assistance, this certification shall obligate the applicant for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of that property. If any real property or structure is improved with NMHC's support, this certification shall oblige the applicant or any transferee for as long as the property or structure is used for the grant or similar purposes. This certification is binding on the applicant, its successors, transferees, and assignees, and on the authorizing official whose signature appears on the application cover sheet for this proposal.

Grantees are also required to evaluate their policies and practices toward the handicapped and grantee organizations which employ fifteen or more persons must keep on file a list of the interested persons that were consulted and a description of the areas that were examined, the problems identified, and any modifications or remedial steps taken.

Certification

The applicant certifies that it will comply with the following nondiscrimination statutes and their implementing regulations: a) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et. seq.) which provides that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program or activity for which the applicant receives federal financial assistance. b) Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (20 U.S.C. 794), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of handicap in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. c) Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1681 et. seq.), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. d) The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6106 et. seq.) which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, except that actions which reasonably take age into account as a factor necessary for the normal operation or the achievement of any statutory objective of the project or activity shall not violate this statute.

Federal Debt Status

If any applicant is unable to certify regarding federal debt status, an explanation must be submitted with the proposal.

Certification

The applicant certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it is not delinquent in the repayment of any federal debt.

Debarment and Suspension

The applicant agrees by submitting this proposal that, should the proposal be funded by NMHC, it shall not knowingly enter into any project-related transactions (as defined under lower tier covered transactions) with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by NMHC.

The applicant further agrees by submitting this proposal to include without modification the following clauses in all lower tier covered transaction and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions:

1) The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this proposal, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any federal department or agency.

2) Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal. A grantee may rely on the certification of a prospective subrecipient that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous.

A grantee may decide on the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Except when specifically authorized by NMHC, if the participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to the other remedies available to the federal government, NMHC may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

Certification The applicant certifies to the best of its knowledge and belief that it and its principals: a) are not currently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transaction by any federal department or agency; b) have not within a three-year period preceding this proposal been convicted or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (federal, state, or local) transaction or contract under a public transaction; violation of federal or statute antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; c) are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a government entity (federal, state or local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (b) of this certification; d) have not within a three-year period preceding this application/proposal had one or more public transactions (federal, state, local) terminated for cause or default.

Lobbying Certification

The applicant certifies to the best of his or her knowledge and belief that:

1) No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the undersigned, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of an agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the making of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

2) If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure of Lobbying Activities," in accordance with its instructions.

3) The applicant shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all subawards at all tiers (including subcontracts, subgrants and contracts under grants, loans and cooperative agreements) and that all subrecipients shall certify and disclose accordingly. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made and entered into. Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for asking or entering into this transaction imposed by Section 1354, Title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each failure.
