    November 25, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Nita Lowey Speaker of the House of Representatives Chairwoman U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee H-232, U.S. Capitol H-307, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Betty McCollum Chairwoman Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee 2007 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Chairwoman Lowey and Chairwoman McCollum, We write to urge your continued support for the humane and sustainable management of wild horses and burros on our public lands. To that end, we request dedicated funding in any final spending package for the implementation of humane, proven and reversible fertility control, namely the porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraceptive vaccine by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). We are pleased this amendment to support this effort was adopted by voice vote in the House of Representatives as part of its Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Interior and Environment Appropriations bill. This bipartisan amendment, cosponsored by Representatives Dina Titus, Joe Neguse, Brian Fitzpatrick, David Schweikert, Jan Schakowsky, David Price, Peter King, Ben McAdams, John Katko, Raul Grijalva and Deb Haaland, reflects a strong desire among our House colleagues to see that PZP is implemented. We appreciate the Appropriations Committee’s effort to support the BLM’s horse and burro program in FY20 by providing more than $21 million in additional funding over previously enacted levels. We also appreciate the Committee’s efforts to promote agency accountability, requiring that the BLM submit a report to Congress detailing past expenditures and accounting for future program planning and needs.

    October 10, 2019 Scott Scheele, Esq. Chief, Telecommunications and Broadband Section Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 7000 Washington, DC 20530 Re: United States v. Deutsche Telekom AG, et al., No. 1:19-cv-02232-TJK TUNNEY ACT COMMENTS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WORKERS OF AMERICA Introduction. The proposed Final Judgment (“PFJ”) violates a number of clearly articulated Antitrust Division policies on merger remedies. These policies, incorporated in current policy guidance documents and in speeches by Division officials, are aimed at ensuring that antitrust remedies are appropriate, effective and principled. The remedy here satisfies none of these goals. The Division has not articulated any reasons, let alone principled reasons, why it has turned its back on its own merger remedy policies in this case, many of which are long-standing and represent sound antitrust enforcement. The Division has recently and successfully asserted a number of its merger remedy policies in litigated cases as a basis for rejecting proposed fixes to anticompetitive mergers, including one in which the proposed divestiture package did not include the network necessary for the buyer successfully to compete. That has particular relevance here. Judged from the standpoint of the competitive harm alleged in the Complaint, the divestiture assets do not restore the competition lost by the elimination of Sprint as an independent competitor under the theories of harm alleged in the complaint and in the product market alleged in the complaint. The divestitures create a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”), but the theories of harm and market definition treat competition from MVNOs as de minimis.

  • CHUCK NOLL HALL of FAME “GAME for LIFE” AWARD to HONOR YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAMS Award Created by Merril Hoge Celebrates Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Noll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 8/2/17 Contact: Pete Fierle, Pro Football Hall of Fame, (330) 588-3622 Melinda Whitemarsh, USA Football, (317) 489-4431 CHUCK NOLL HALL OF FAME “GAME FOR LIFE” AWARD TO HONOR YOUTH FOOTBALL PROGRAMS Award Created by Merril Hoge Celebrates Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Noll CANTON, OHIO – The Pro Football Hall of Fame, in partnership with USA Football, is teaming with DICK’S Sporting Goods, Riddell and adidas to introduce the Chuck Noll Hall of Fame “Game for Life” Award. The honor will be presented to youth football programs in every state that exemplify the values of football: commitment, integrity, courage, respect, and excellence. As he taught America’s favorite sport, legendary Hall of Fame coach CHUCK NOLL personified these timeless values, which are foundational to the game and championed by Pro Football Hall of Fame and USA Football. Leagues that earn the Chuck Noll Hall of Fame “Game for Life” Award will be recognized for their commitment to coaching education; best practices in player safety; teaching lessons about how to win rather than emphasizing winning; and nurturing a culture that celebrates preparation, discipline, accountability and respect through the fun and fitness of football and how it applies to success beyond the field. These winning attributes parallel the philosophies for which Coach Noll stood and are supported for the good of young athletes by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, USA Football, DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s Sports Matter program, Riddell and adidas. Each of the 50 recognized youth leagues will receive: • $500 equipment grant from Riddell and USA Football; • $500 gift card from DICK’S Sporting Goods • $500 gift card from adidas.

    Jane Hall: Hello and welcome to American Forum Café, a podcast production of the School of Communication at American University in Washington DC. I'm Jane Hall, I'm an associate professor here at SOC. I teach courses on politics in the media and advanced reporting. Before coming to AU I was a journalist covering the news media for many years in New York. In my Politics in the Media class we look at the intersection of contemporary politics and media coverage, and boy are politics and the media intersecting. Colliding, actually, and influencing each other. As part of my class students have the opportunity to participate in American Forum Town Halls and one on one conversations with journalists, political strategists, politicians, and other important players. My students in Advanced Reporting also play an important role in our programs. They are interviewing other college students about our topics as well as asking our guests questions during our events. Jane Hall: Recently, Congressman Steve Cohen, Democrat from Tennessee spoke with my classes and other students at AU. What you'll hear on this episode is the recording from that event. Congressman Cohen is best known for introducing Articles of Impeachment last year against Donald Trump. With the Democrats winning a majority in the House of Representatives impeachment had become a real possibility. And Congressman Cohen is chair of an important subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee where impeachment could begin. He is playing an important role in other committees as well. He is the first Jewish Congressman from Tennessee, as well as he represents a majority black district.
