  • The BCCI Affair
    The BCCI Affair A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate by Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown December 1992 102d Congress 2d Session Senate Print 102-140 This December 1992 document is the penultimate draft of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee report on the BCCI Affair. After it was released by the Committee, Sen. Hank Brown, reportedly acting at the behest of Henry Kissinger, pressed for the deletion of a few passages, particularly in Chapter 20 on "BCCI and Kissinger Associates." As a result, the final hardcopy version of the report, as published by the Government Printing Office, differs slightly from the Committee's softcopy version presented below. - Steven Aftergood Federation of American Scientists This report was originally made available on the website of the Federation of American Scientists.

  • What's Next for the United States?
    February 2021 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Office USA, Washington, D.C. What's next for the United States? Part 2: Climate Change and Energy Supply By Sabine Murphy How is the Biden administration changing the direction of the U.S.? The KAS Office USA takes a first look, in a series of five country reports. This report deals with climate and energy challenges. The White House website promises “swift action to tackle the climate emergency” and a “clean energy revolution”. Key Policy Goals The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t make it a secret that the fight against climate change is on top of the to-do-list. Climate is prominently listed on the White House website as one of seven top policy priorities. It states: “President Biden will take swift action to tackle the climate emergency. The Biden administration will ensure we meet the demands of science, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution.”1 The Biden administration takes a decidedly different approach to energy use and the impact of rising temperatures on the environment than its predecessor. After four years of the Trump administration denying scientific findings about climate change, Biden has pledged to follow science and involve the entire federal government in the fight against climate change. By creating inter-agency working groups and a National Climate Task Force, Biden wants to ensure that his policies for the production of clean energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are not limited to single agencies but will be implemented throughout the federal government. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach a goal of net-zero emissions across the economy before 2050, and to eliminate pollution caused by fossil fuel in electricity production by 2035.

  • The 2004 Election a Matter of Faith? 1 David E
    10397-01_Ch01.qxd 3/26/07 10:41 AM Page 1 The 2004 Election A Matter of Faith? 1 David E. Campbell ew observers of American politics deny that in recent Fyears religion has come to play an increasingly important role in the nation’s elections, especially the presidential election. To some, per- haps many, religion may appear to be a new factor in national politics. But today’s focus on religion is really just a variation on what has been a common theme throughout U.S. history. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson had to deal with accusations that he was an atheist; in the late 1800s, William Jennings Bryan invoked biblical themes to support economic policy; in 1928, Al Smith faced anti-Catholic mobs on the campaign trail; in 1960, John F. Kennedy too had to forestall anti-Catholic sentiment that, while muted when compared with what Smith faced in 1928, lingered nonetheless. Religion, then, has long been a feature in national elections. Yet that does not mean that the religious cleavages of the past correspond to those of the pres- ent. Rather, the last thirty years have seen a re-sorting of the parties’ electoral coalitions along religious lines. No longer are Democrats and Republicans divided along the old lines, defined by whether they are Catholic or Protestant. Instead of religious denomination, the parties are divided by religious devo- tional style—that is, a way of being religious. People who are more devout— regardless of denomination—are more likely to favor the GOP. Obviously, such a statement is a generalization.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Ronald Reagan’s Defining Vision for the 1980s— -_and America There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. ronald reagan, “the speech,” 1964 Your first point, however, about making them love you, not just believe you, believe me—I agree with that. ronald reagan, october 16, 1979 One day in 1924, a thirteen-year-old boy joined his parents and older brother for a leisurely Sunday drive roaming the lush Illinois country- side. Trying on eyeglasses his mother had misplaced in the backseat, he discovered that he had lived life thus far in a “haze” filled with “colored blobs that became distinct” when he approached them. Recalling the “miracle” of corrected vision, he would write: “I suddenly saw a glori- ous, sharply outlined world jump into focus and shouted with delight.” Six decades later, as president of the United States of America, that extremely nearsighted boy had become a contact lens–wearing, fa- mously farsighted leader. On June 12, 1987, standing 4,476 miles away from his boyhood hometown of Dixon, Illinois, speaking to the world from the Berlin Wall’s Brandenburg Gate, Ronald Wilson Reagan em- braced the “one great and inescapable conclusion” that seemed to emerge after forty years of Communist domination of Eastern Eu- rope. “Freedom leads to prosperity,” Reagan declared in his signature For general queries, contact [email protected] © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

  • One-Quarter of Presidents Lost Before They Won, but Mitt Romney Won't Be
    January 22, 2015 One-quarter of presidents lost before they won, but Mitt Romney won’t be among them by JOSHUA SPIVAK Taking heart to the saying “third time’s the charm,” Mitt Romney has shaken up the nascent 2016 presidential race with his announcement that he may not be done seeking the presidency. The electorate may be tired of Romney, but his persistence is somewhat presidential: A quarter of presidents ran unsuccessfully for the office at least once before winning. From Thomas Jefferson to George H.W. Bush, there is a long history of losers coming back to claim the White House. Still, Romney’s supporters should have good reason to be worried that his third time could be another flop. What separates Romney from other comeback presidents is that he’s already received his party’s nomination and lost once before. The recent comeback kids did not receive the nomination in their first runs for office. For example, both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush came in second in their earlier attempts for the nomination. Reagan, probably the most noteworthy candidate who ran more than once, boosted his name-recognition and his credibility with the party’s conservative base in his first two runs, especially when he almost toppled sitting President Gerald R. Ford in 1976. But once you look at the candidates who received the nomination, lost the general election and ran again, the road back to the White House appears much tougher. The last person to lose as a nominee and then go on to win the presidency — or even to get his party’s nomination more than once – was Richard Nixon, who lost the election on a razor-thin margin in 1960 and then won triumphantly in 1968.

  • March 17, 2015 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL the Honorable John Kerry
    March 17, 2015 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL The Honorable John Kerry Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 The Honorable David S. Ferriero Archivist of the United States National Archives and Records Administration 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20408 Dear Secretary Kerry and Mr. Ferriero: The undersigned represent nonprofit organizations concerned with government transparency and accountability. Recently, the New York Times reported that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exclusively used a private email address – the server for which was located at her residence in Chappaqua, New York – to conduct official government business. A number of media and transparency organizations have submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests pertaining to Secretary of State Clinton’s email correspondence while serving at the Department of State. These organizations include The Associated Press, Gawker Media, Judicial Watch, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Congressional committees also have requested access to these emails. Unfortunately, the New York Times report suggests that Secretary Clinton’s use of only a private email account for State Department business without a contemporaneous government record – a potential violation of the Federal Records Act – may have been an intentional attempt to circumvent public oversight. Regardless of intent, the exclusive use of a private server made it impossible for the State Department to search Secretary Clinton’s

  • All of That Aside, All the History Aside, It Really Is a Place, and I'm Going To
    All of that aside, all the history aside, it really is a place, and I’m going to say something that’s going to sound a little bit supercilious, and that is, it’s like Comic-Con, and for those of you out there, students who know what Comic-Con is, it’s just the same thing. It’s a bunch of people, instead of comic books and action figures and movies, it’s politics. It is a massive love, of the process. It’s meeting people who you haven’t seen sometimes in 4, 8, and 12 years. The 1992 Clinton, New York convention, there was a huge party for those of us who worked on Bobby Kennedy’s campaign in ‘68, I hadn’t seen some of those people in 20 years. And both parties, it is an opportunity for people who are in the business of politics in 50 individual states to find one moment in time when they can all come together and basically say, “aren’t we lucky we chose the best business in the world to be in?” People don’t think of conventions as being internal, they think of conventions as being external, because they are external in the sense of sending a message. But they’re also internal, Republicans find other Republicans and they say, “Oh my god, I am right. Look at all the people who agree with me.” Democrats do the same thing. So, there’s a lot of subset things that are going on at these conventions, that aren’t going to be picked up by television and aren’t going to be taught by the teachers.

  • OCTOBER 2004 John Parisella
    CHOOSING AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT: CANADIANS CAN’T BE INDIFFERENT BUT MAY NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME John Parisella The November 2 US presidential election is the first since the events of September 11, 2001, and the outcome is likely to turn on which candidate, George W. Bush or John Kerry, makes the better case for keeping America safe and managing the war in Iraq. While Kerry cruised to the Democratic nomination last winter and spring, that was against a lesser opponent, Howard Dean. The summer and fall have seen a resurgent Bush take a strong lead, while Kerry has had difficulty defining his message and allowed himself to be defined by his opponents. For voters wanting to know what the candidates will do for them in the future, it is frustrating to watch the campaign degenerate into nasty accusations over who did what in the Vietnam War, 35 years ago. With our interests so closely aligned with the US, Canadians cannot be indifferent to the outcome, and aren’t — 61 percent in a Leger Marketing poll in August would support Kerry as against only 16 percent for Bush. Canadians, then, risk being disappointed by the outcome. Political stategist John Parisella, a former chief of staff to Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa, attended both the Democratic and Republican conventions over the summer and was embedded in the Kerry campaign during the primaries. Here is his close-up take on the presidential campaign. L’élection présidentielle du 2 novembre sera la première depuis les attentats du 11 septembre et son vainqueur sera celui qui, de George W.
