  • National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Final Programmatic Report
    1 National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Final Programmatic Report Project Name and Number Whooping Crane Reintroduction to the South Eastern US (2008- 0045-003) Recipient organization / Agency: Operation Migration USA Inc. Recipient Contact: Joe Duff Recipient E-Mail: [email protected] Recipient Phone: 905 982 1096 Recipient Web Address: www.operationmigration.org 1) Summary In four or five sentences, provide a brief, cumulative summary of the project. Fourteen Whooping crane chicks were conditioned to follow the ultralight aircraft of Operation Migration. They were led 1255 miles from Wisconsin to Florida. A new route was developed to increase safety for the bird and pilots. New wintering grounds were tested by dividing the flock with seven birds wintering at the traditional area and the remainder at a new site. 2) Introduction Describe the original conservation need and objectives. Only 15 Whooping cranes existed in the 1940’s. That number has increased to over 500 however all of these birds use the same nesting area in northern Canada and wintering grounds in Southern United States. They are threatened by the possibility of chemical spills, avian diseases, habitat loss and drought. Together with the other eight agencies within the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership, Operation Migration is attempting to reintroduce a population of Whooping cranes that migrate between nesting grounds in Wisconsin and wintering areas in Florida. This discrete flock will augment the only naturally occurring population and help safeguard the species from extinction. In order to make this reintroduced population self-sustaining it must consist of a minimum of 125 individuals including 25 breeding pairs.

  • Phony Philanthropy of the Walmart Heirs
    Legal Disclaimer: UFCW and OUR Walmart have the purpose of helping Wal-Mart employees as individuals or groups in their dealings with Wal-Mart over labor rights and standards and their efforts to have Wal-Mart publically commit to adhering to labor rights and standards. UFCW and OUR Walmart have no intent to have Walmart recognize or bargain with UFCW or OUR Walmart as the representative of Walmart employees. Walmart1Percent.Org WALTON FAMILY “PHILANTHROPY”: A Distraction from the Walmart Economy Americans believe in the power of charitable giving. Eighty-eight percent of American households give to charity, contributing more than $2,000 per year on average.1 Despite their charitable inclinations, most American families, acting on their own, lack the financial resources to make a significant impact on the problems facing our society. The Walton family, majority owner of Walmart, is a notable exception. As members of the richest family in the United States, the Waltons have $140 billion at their disposal—enough wealth to make a positive mark on the world and still leave a fortune for their descendants. The Waltons certainly wish to be seen as a force for good. Their company claims to help people “live better” and the Walton Family Foundation mission statement speaks of “creating opportunity so that individuals and communities can live better in today’s world.”2 But that mission statement seems ironic, given that many of the most acute challenges facing American families in 2014 could rightfully be viewed as symptoms of our “Walmart economy,” characterized by rising inequality and economic insecurity.

OEI GALLEYPROOFS 4/23/2018 12:07 PM THE OFFSHORE TAX ENFORCEMENT DRAGNET Shu-Yi Oei* ABSTRACT Taxpayers who hide assets abroad to evade taxes present a serious enforcement challenge for the United States. In response, the United States has developed a family of initiatives that punish and rehabilitate non-compliant taxpayers, raise revenues, and require widespread reporting of offshore financial information by financial institutions and taxpayers. Yet, while these initiatives help catch willful tax cheats, they have also adversely affected immigrants, Americans living abroad, and “accidental Americans.” This Article critiques the United States’ offshore tax enforcement initiatives, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliant Act and the Internal Revenue Service’s offshore voluntary disclosure programs. It argues that the United States has been overly focused on two policy priorities in designing enforcement at the expense of competing considerations: First, the United States has attempted to equalize enforcement against taxpayers with solely domestic holdings and those with harder-to-detect offshore holdings by imposing harsher reporting requirements and penalties on the latter.

    UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE - WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FOR RELEjhSE ON DELIVERY EXPECTED AT LO:00 &$.[*I. EST MONDAY, MARCH 22, 1982 STATEMENT OF WILLIAM J. ANDERSON, DIRECTOR, GENERAL GOVERNMENTDIVISION , BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE ON ( S~~NATEBILL 2198, TAXPAYER COMPLIANCE IMPkOVEMENT ACT OF 1982 1 I 117850 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: We are pleased to be here today to assist your Subcommittee in considering the problem of the income tax compliance gap and the need for 5.2198, the Taxpayer Compliance Improvement Act of 1982, to help address this problem. Ourr testimony is based pri- marily on our overall experience gained from conducting audits of tax administration operations and activities over the past several years. We first addressed the issue of unreported income in July 1979 l At that time, we issued a comprehensive report in which we estimated that about 5 million individuals and couples owing about $2 billion in taxes did not file tax returns for tax year 1972, the year for which the most current data was available for analysis. We also estimated that IRS had only been able to secure delinquent returns from about 12 percent of the estimated 5 mil- lion nonfilers. Since July 1979, we have issued numerous reports and provided extensive testimony addressing IRS' &x administra- tion activities and the actions needed to improve IRS' compli- ance enforcement efforts, particularly against, the unreported income problem. We are also presently conducting several reviews of various IRS programs which are directed wholly or partially at addressing the unreported income problem.

BENEFITS DERIVED FROM WESTERN'S INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC PROGRAM In April 1982 an independent commission was established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to study college athletics. Its purpose was to concentrate on athletic proolems and concerns in Higher Education. A significant section of that report focused on the role of intercollegiate athletics at an educational institution with emphasis on the link that has existed between amateur athletics and higher education during the past century. In referring to this link, the committee declared: " .•• one could search at length for a theoretical justification for this linkage. but the exercise i~ meaningless.
