  • Stephen Friedman January 27, 2010
    As Revised United States House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform “Factors Affecting Efforts to Limit Payments to AIG Counterparties” Prepared Testimony of Stephen Friedman January 27, 2010 Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Issa, and Members of the Committee, I am here today because of my great respect for Congress and the essential role that it plays in the United States Government. It was my recent privilege to serve my country in the Executive Branch as Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council from 2002 to 2004, and as Chairman of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board from 2006 to 2009, and I developed a renewed appreciation of our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Despite my recognition of the importance of the Committee’s inquiry, I cannot provide the Committee with any insight into the principal subject of today’s hearing—the transaction that paid AIG’s credit default swap counterparties at par. The questions raised about these transactions reflect understandable confusion about the role that a Reserve Bank’s Chairman and Board of Directors play in a Reserve Bank’s operations. Consistent with the structure created by the Federal Reserve Act, the Board of Directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank has no role in the regulation, supervision, or oversight of banks, bank holding companies, or other financial institutions. Such responsibilities are instead carried out by the officers of the New York Federal Reserve Bank acting at the direction of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System here in Washington.

  • Press 6 May 2021 Frieze New York, First Live Art Fair in a Year, Kicks
    The New York Times Frieze New York, First Live Art Fair in a Year, Kicks Off at the Shed Will Heinrich and Martha Schwendener 6 May 2021 Frieze New York, First Live Art Fair in a Year, Kicks Off at the Shed Our critics toured more than 60 booths — a sight for art-starved eyes. Here are 16 highlights to catch, in person or virtually. Image: “Who Taught You to Love?” by Hank Willis Thomas is part of a tribute to the Vision & Justice Project, in the Frieze New York fair at the Shed. Credit: Krista Schlueter for The New York Times. The colossal white tent on Randalls Island — the one that occasionally threatened to uplift and blow away — is gone, along with the frenetic ferry rides up and down the East River. But Frieze is back, the first live art fair returning to New York after more than a year. This year’s edition, taking place Wednesday to Sunday, is inside the Shed, the performing arts center on the Far West Side at Hudson Yards. It includes only 64 commercial galleries — as opposed to nearly 200 in 2019 — though some international exhibitors from Buenos Aires, Brazil and London are represented. But there is plenty of work worth seeing, spread over more than three double-height levels. All necessary health precautions are being observed, but unless you’ve made prior arrangements, you may not be able to attend in person: Tickets are already sold out. What remains is a waiting list and an extensive virtual Viewing Room with more than 160 international galleries, which you can visit free through May 14.

  • Science Security Worst
    SCIENCE AT ITS BEST SECURITY AT ITS WORST A Report on Security Problems at the U.S. Department of Energy A Special Investigative Panel President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board JUNE 1999 ABSTRACT On March 18, 1999, President William J. Clinton requested that the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) undertake an inquiry and issue a report on “the security threat at the Department of Energy’s weapons labs and the adequacy of the measures that have been taken to address it.” Specifically, the President asked the PFIAB to “address the nature of the present counterintelligence securi- ty threat, the way in which it has evolved over the last two decades and the steps we have taken to counter it, as well as to recommend any additional steps that may be needed.” He also asked the PFIAB “to deliver its completed report to the Congress, and to the fullest extent possible consistent with our national security, release an unclassified version to the public.” In response, the Honorable Warren B. Rudman, Chairman of PFIAB, appointed board members Ms. Ann Z. Caracristi, Dr. Sidney Drell, and Mr. Stephen Friedman to form the Special Investigative Panel and obtained detailees from several federal agencies (CIA, DOD, FBI) to augment the work of the PFIAB staff. Over the past three months, the panel and staff interviewed more than 100 witnesses, reviewed more than 700 documents encompassing thousands of pages, and conducted onsite research and interviews at five of the Department of Energy’s national laboratories and plants: Livermore, Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Pantex, and Sandia.

    2012 Annual Report Getting Medicare Right 2 Message From Joe Baker and Bruce Vladeck 3 Who We Are 4 Counseling & Assistance 12 Volunteers 13 Education 16 Newsletters 17 Media 19 Public Policy 22 Fiscal Year 2012 Finances 23 Our Supporters 27 Board of Directors 28 Staff A Message From: Joe Baker, President, and Bruce Vladeck, Chairman of the Board Dear Friend, You probably heard a lot about Medicare in recent months. During a busy campaign season, and leading up to the New Year, Medicare found itself squarely in the spotlight, as presidential, senatorial, and congressional candidates voiced their plans to reduce the federal deficit by cutting Medicare. Amidst these discussions about the national debt, the Medicare Rights Center strengthened its services to people with Medicare while working in Washington to protect the promise of the program—ensuring that 50 million older adults and people with disabilities have access to comprehensive and affordable health care. Medicare Rights empowers people with Medicare—and those who support them—to advocate for themselves to access quality, affordable Joe Baker and Bruce Vladeck health care. During the last fiscal year, volunteers and staff on our national Consumer and Spanish-language Helplines provided over 12,000 answers to beneficiaries with Medicare questions. By successfully processing thousands of benefits for these individuals, we secured $6.2 million in out-of-pocket savings for them, their families, and state and local governments. In addition, Medicare Rights counseled more than 2,300 professionals in 2012, each of whom went on to help multiple people with Medicare; many of these professionals came to us through our Community Partners program, which builds the capacity of New York City nonprofits to better serve their own older and disabled clients.

  • Sculpted in Metal, Stories of History and Identity Take Shape Sophie Haigney 4 May 2021
    The New York Times Sculpted in metal, stories of history and identity take shape Sophie Haigney 4 May 2021 Sculpted in metal, stories of history and identity take shape Works by Melvin Edwards are celebrated in a survey at City Hall Park in Manhattan. Image: Melvin Edwards’s sculpture, “Song of the Broken Chains,” at City Hall Park in Manhattan.Credit...Hiroko Masuike/The New York Times The sculpture, made of red stainless steel and chains, rocks and sways. The lengths of links — some rusted, some the bright silver of galvanized steel — ripple in the wind. Nearby, a very different sculpture also takes the form of a chain, this time represented on a massive scale, its links severed and scattered. These sculptures, “Homage to Coco” (1970) and “Song of the Broken Chains” (2020), are the work of the artist Melvin Edwards, 84. Made five decades apart, they are coming together in City Hall Park in Manhattan, in an exhibition of Mr. Edwards’s public sculpture. Called “Brighter Days,” it runs through Nov. 28. The exhibition, whose opening coincides with the Frieze New York art fair beginning Thursday at Hudson Yards, is being highlighted as part of the fair’s tribute to the Vision & Justice Project and its founder, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis. Mr. Edwards’s work touches on the project’s mission of “examining art’s central role in understanding the relationship between race and citizenship in the United States.” A walk-through of the sculpture show was planned, and the Alexander Gray Gallery is showing a model for “Song of the Broken Chains,” and a selection of Mr.

  • A Brief History of Goldman Sachs
    A Brief History of Goldman Sachs Established 1869 In 1869, a German immigrant named Marcus Goldman moved to New York City with his family and opened a one-room basement office next to a coal chute at 30 Pine Street in Lower Manhattan. During a period of tight and expensive bank credit, Goldman offered the local merchants an alternative. He would purchase their promissory notes and then sell the notes to New York’s commercial banks, becoming a pioneer in what became known as the commercial paper business. With the addition of his son-in-law, Samuel Sachs, in 1882, and his son, Henry Goldman, in 1885, Marcus Goldman’s enterprise became a partnership with a new name: Goldman, Sachs & Co. By the time the firm joined the New York Stock Exchange in 1896, Goldman Sachs was a leader in commercial paper sales. As the firm’s clients grew in number, it opened offices in Boston and Chicago (1900), San Francisco (1918), and Philadelphia and St. Louis (1920), becoming a national firm. In 1897, Goldman Sachs established relationships with financial firms in major European capitals, providing an array of services that included foreign exchange, letters of credit, gold shipments and arbitrage. In the early 1900s, as clients increasingly needed larger amounts of long-term capital, the firm began to establish its investment banking business. In two of the firm’s first public transactions— initial stock offerings for General Cigar and Sears Roebuck, both in 1906—Goldman Sachs broke new ground in making equity and debt securities more attractive to investors.
