This report covers the administration and enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act for the 6 months ending December 31, 1996. The text of this report lists, according to geographical area or nationality field, all agents who were registered at any time during the second 6 months of 1996, or who reported for the first time in that period activities, receipts or disbursements for the previous period. It includes the identities of the agents and their foreign principal(s), a description of the agent's activities, a total figure for monies received, a The term "political propaganda", which has appeared in previous reports on the administration of FARA, was deleted as a result of passage of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, and replaced by the new term, "informational materials". (cf. Meese v. Keene, 421 U.S. 465 (198?») 1.1 description of any informational materials disseminated, and a listing of all individual agents. This report includes a number of improvements made possible by the ongoing conversion of the Foreign Agents Registration Act records system from a paper based filing system to a computerized filing system. These include dating the information reported, and more thorough cross-referencing of the data with visual and substantive changes to the appendices. This report will also be made available through the Department of Justice website on the Internet, and in a CD-ROM version. The principal purpose of Congress in enacting the Foreign Agents Registration Act was to ensure that the Government and the people of the United states would be informed of the identity of persons engaging in political activities for or on behalf of foreign governments, foreign political parties and other foreign principals, so that they might appraise their statements and activities in the light of their associations. Registration under the Act does not imply recognition by the United states Government of the legitimacy of any particular foreign government, or foreign political party. Furthermore, registration does not indicate approval by the united states Government of the activities of any registered agent or the content of any informational materials they disseminate. 1.2 statistical Summary During the 6-month period ending December 31, 1996, the Department received 30 new registration statements and terminated 34 registrations, leaving a total of 590 active registrations, representing 876 foreign principals on file as of December 31, 1996. Individuals acting as officials or employees or rendering assistance to a registrant for or in the interests of the latter's foreign principal filed 213 new short-form registration statements under the Act, bringing the total of active short-form registrations to 2,808 as of December 31, 1996. There were 80 new agreements with foreign principals reported by agents under the Act during this period. Legislative Changes Congress enacted the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 on December 19, 1995. That law, effective January 1, 1996, focuses the Foreign Agents Registration Act more on those who act as agents of foreign governments or foreign political parties, and requires more frequent reports by this office to the Congress on administration and enforcement of the Act. To strengthen this change in focus, the Department intends to transmit to the 105th Congress a bill to further amend

    Lorain County RESEARCHER Lorain Co. Chapter, OGS - PO Box 865 - Elyria, OH 44036-0865 Fall 2016 Volume 33 Issue 4 A Life History of Lionel A. Sheldon Submitted by Deb Mohler, longtime LCC-OGS Member It was a cold January night in 1862 when Col. James Garfield and 1100 troops of the 40th and 42nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry and two Kentucky units arrived, after an 18 mile march, at the mouth of Abbott’s Creek near Prestonsburg, KY. Garfield meant to force a fight with Marshall. Marshall had moved his Rebel Troops from Virginia into eastern Kentucky. President Lincoln meant to keep Kentucky in the Union. Marshall’s men were encamped about 3 miles upstream. Garfield sent an order back to 33-year-old Lt. – Col. Lionel Sheldon, who was left in command at Paintsville 14½ miles north, to bring up every available man with all possible dis- patch, for he intended to force a battle in the morning. At 4 a.m., Garfield’s troops started their march. Sunrise was several hours away. About daybreak, they were charge upon by Con- federate horsemen. Garfield gave the Confederates a volley that sent them up the valley, and so started the Battle of Middle Creek. By late afternoon, the Union forces were driven back, but with a brave charge, regained their ground. When the sun set, the battle was still unfinished. Garfield’s heart was full of alternating hopes and fears. It looked as if the day were lost, when, at a critical mo- ment, the starry banner was seen waving over an advancing host.

Louise Brodie talking to Martin Gordon.] Could you tell me where and when you were born please? I was born on the 19th of July 1938, the year of the Tiger. I was born in Kensington, in St. Mary Abbot's Terrace. My father was an economist. And, my father had been born in Italy at the beginning of the century; my mother had been born in China in 1913, where her father had been practising as a doctor in Manchuria. Therefore I came from a very international background, albeit my family was a Scottish-English family and I was born in London, but I always had a very strong international inclination from my parents and from other members of my family around the world.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.
