    NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD OF MR. KELLY MCKEAGUE DIRECTOR, DEFENSE POW/MIA ACCOUNTING AGENCY BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL SECURITY COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM U.S HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 29, 2019 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM INTRODUCTION Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Hice, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee, it is a privilege to appear before you today. As provided in Section 916 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (NDAA for FY 2015), then Secretary of Defense Hagel established the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) in 2015 as the single organization within the Department of Defense (DoD) responsible for policy, control, and oversight of the program to resolve missing person cases; to account for missing persons from past conflicts, including locating, recovering, and identifying the remains of the missing; dissemination of appropriate information regarding these efforts to family members; and establishment of a means for communications between DPAA and the family members, veterans service organizations (VSO), concerned citizens, and the public on the Department’s past conflict accounting efforts. DPAA was established by merging the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, and past conflict elements of the Air Force’s Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory. The agency’s overarching mission is to harness resources, research, and conduct operations to maximize the number of DoD personnel missing from past conflicts accounted for annually, while ensuring timely and accurate information is provided to their families and the public.

  • Report by the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee and the Task Force on the Rule of Law Condemning Presidential Pardons of Accused and Convicted War Criminals
    CONTACT POLICY DEPARTMENT ELIZABETH KOCIENDA 212.382.4788 | [email protected] MARY MARGULIS-OHNUMA 212.382.6767 | [email protected] REPORT BY THE MILITARY AND VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE AND THE TASK FORCE ON THE RULE OF LAW CONDEMNING PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS OF ACCUSED AND CONVICTED WAR CRIMINALS On May 6, 2019 and November 15, 2019, President Trump pardoned three Army officers convicted or accused of war crimes: (i) First Lieutenant (“1LT”) Michael Behanna, who was convicted of executing a prisoner he was ordered to release, (ii) 1LT Clint Lorance, who was convicted of numerous crimes, including the murder of two men his soldiers agreed posed no threat to them, and (iii) Major (“MAJ”) Mathew Golsteyn, who was about to stand trial for the murder of a suspected Taliban bombmaker he was ordered to release — and who MAJ Golsteyn repeatedly confessed to killing. The pardoning of military members convicted or accused of battlefield murders appears to be unprecedented in American history.1 These pardons were deeply opposed by many top military commanders because there was no justifiable basis for them, such as a legitimate claim of innocence.2 As former Marine Corps Commandant Charles Krulak stated before the pardons occurred, “[i]f President Trump follows through on reports that he will . pardon[] individuals accused or convicted of war crimes, he will betray [our] ideals and undermine decades of precedent in American military justice that has contributed to making our country’s fighting forces the envy of the world.”3 And as the head of U.S. Army Special Operations Command recently stated in a memo rejecting MAJ Golsteyn’s request to reinstate his Special Warfare tab, President Trump’s preemptive pardon “does not erase or expunge the record of offense charges and does not indicate [MAJ Golsteyn’s] innocence.”4 Instead, what underlies these pardons are President Trump’s misguided views that the 1 The closest example appears to be 2LT William L.

  • Radiological Protection and Radioactive Waste Management
    Occupational radiation doses of United Kingdom high altitude mountain guides as a result of cosmic ray exposures. Robert W Kerra* aRP Alba Ltd, Geanies House, Fearn, Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, IV20 1TW, UK. Abstract UK based mountain guides lead multiple expeditions throughout the course of a year. They will receive radiation doses from cosmic rays during air travel and their time spent at elevated altitudes in the mountains of the world. These radiation doses are received as part of their employment. This paper illustrates that UK based high altitude mountain guides can potentially receive greater than 1 milliSv per year of cosmic radiation dose in excess of what they would have received at ground level. These individuals are “occupationally exposed” to cosmic radiation as a result of their profession. The European Community Basic Safety Standards Directive 96/29/EURATOM does not apply to exposure to cosmic radiation prevailing at ground level. The highest “ground level” that a UK mountain guide may be working at is 8848m. The maximum flying altitude of some internal flights in the UK is 7925m. 96/29/EURATOM does apply to cosmic radiations being received by aircrews therefore there is an anomaly in radiation protection where the cosmic radiation exposures of aircrew operating for short durations at altitudes lower than mountain guides operating at high altitudes for prolonged times have to be taken into account. UK based high altitude mountain guides are undergoing planned occupational exposures to cosmic radiation whilst still on the ground. Consideration should be given by the legislative authorities to include the control and assessment of cosmic radiation exposures of professionals likely to receive greater than 1 milliSv per year of cosmic radiation in excess of what would have been received in their home country at ground level.

The project is organised in five parts and covers the newspapers in chronological sequence. Part 1 provides full coverage for 1939; Part 2: 1940; Part 3: 1941; Part 4: 1942-1943; and finally, Part 5 covers 1944-1945. At last social historians and students of journalism can consult complete war-time runs of Britain’s popular newspapers in their libraries. Less august than the papers of record, it is these papers which reveal most about the impact of the war on the home front, the way in which people amused themselves in the face of adversity, and the way in which public morale was kept high through a mixture of propaganda and judicious reporting. Most importantly, it is through these papers that we can see how most ordinary people received news of the war. For, with a combined circulation of over 23 million by 1948, and a secondary readership far in excess of these figures, the News of the World, The People, the Daily Express, The Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Express reached into the homes of the majority of the British public and played a critical role in shaping public perceptions of the war.
