  • Opening Statement Tuesday, January 29, 2019
    Remarks as prepared for delivery by The Honorable Dan Coats Director of National Intelligence Annual Threat Assessment Opening Statement Tuesday, January 29, 2019 Chairman Burr, Vice-Chairman Warner, and Members of the Committee... I am here today, along with leaders of the Intelligence Community, to provide you an overview of the national security threats facing our nation. But before I do, I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the men and women that make up the Intelligence Community. Their efforts rarely receive public recognition because of the nature of the work that they do. But their unheralded contributions play a critical role in the national security of our great nation, and I am proud to represent them. 1 Annual Threat Assessment, January 29, 2019 I also want to express on behalf of the entire IC our appreciation to the members of this committee. The Intelligence Community appreciates your support and values our partnership. [PAUSE] My goal today is to responsibly convey to you and the American people, in this unclassified hearing, the true nature of the threat environment without overstating some of the more significant challenges we currently face and expect to contend with in the coming year… In the interest of time, I also would refer you to my Statement for the Record for a more complete threat picture. As I stated in my recent remarks during the release of the National Intelligence Strategy, we face significant changes in the domestic and global 2 Annual Threat Assessment, January 29, 2019 environment that have resulted in an increasingly complex and uncertain world, and we must be ready to meet 21st century challenges and recognize emerging threats.

One source told HPR, “You go to past week, Peters called for a public referendum, saying Peters’ headquarters and it is solemn and you find one that he is working with Fort Wayne legislators to get the person working.

  • World War III Background Guide.Pdf
    Chair’s Letter Dear Delegates, We are delighted to welcome you to the World War III fantasy committee at the third annual Kent School Model United Nations Conference. Your chairs for this committee are Sarah Smith and Nebeeka Saha. This committee deals with the aftermath of a possible World War III. With the way that the United States has interacted with other countries recently, many citizens are concerned of the possibilities of an uprising war with the rising power, China. This is mainly due to the trade war involving the United States and China. As two large and powerful countries, the United States and China seem unlikely to go to war without involving allies. Moreover, not only is the war itself important for this committee, but so is the aftermath. With the shock of a bomb at the White House and the death of key government leaders, delegates will be asked to not only resolve this crisis, but also investigate the origins of this disaster, all the while maintaining their position. Since this committee is mostly fiction, we are here to challenge your critical and creative thinking. We do ask that you thoroughly read through this background guide and further research the position that you have been given. This allows delegates to begin their in depth research on who they will be representing within the our committee’s discussions. Make sure that any notes or information you have on your position are printed beforehand, as no electronics are permitted within the committee room. If you have trouble following anything in the discussion you may ask your dias for help.

  • Why America's Grand Strategy Has Not Changed
    Why America’s Grand Strategy Has Not Changed Why America’s Grand Patrick Porter Strategy Has Not Changed Power, Habit, and the U.S. Foreign Policy Establishment Why has U.S. grand strategy persisted since the end of the Cold War? If grand strategy is the long- term orchestration of power and commitments to secure oneself in a world where war is possible, the United States’ way of pursuing security has been re- markably stable.1 Long before the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States formed a grand strategy of “primacy,” often coined as “leadership.”2 This strategy was interrupted only occasionally. By the 1960s, it had set the parame- ters for Washington’s foreign policy debate.3 The strategy has four interlock- ing parts: to be militarily preponderant; to reassure and contain allies; to integrate other states into U.S.-designed institutions and markets; and to inhibit the spread of nuclear weapons.4 These fundamental security commit- ments have proven hard to change, even amid shocks. Patrick Porter is Professor of International Security and Strategy at the University of Birmingham.
