Schiliro is currently the Director of Congressional Relations for the transition team of President-Elect Barack Obama. Schiliro was a senior advisor to Senator Obama's presidential campaign. He has worked in the United States Congress for more than 25 years. Schiliro served as the Chief of Staff to Representative Henry Waxman and the House Oversight Committee in the House, and the Policy Director for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and Staff Director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Committees in the Senate.

I can’t say that. I didn’t,” Schiliro told the 550 undergraduate, graduate and law students who participated in Hofstra’s mid-year commencement ceremony at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. He drove home his point by recognizing several Hofstra professors who influenced and inspired him, including Dean Bernard Firestone, Professor Michael D’Innocenzo and Professor Emeritus Herb Rosenbaum.

  • Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks on Signing The
    Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2010 Remarks on Signing the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 July 22, 2010 Morning, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. Welcome to the White House. I am pleased that you could all join us today as I sign this bill, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act, which, translated into English, means cutting down on waste, fraud, and abuse and ensuring that our Government serves as a responsible steward for the tax dollars of the American people. Now, this is a responsibility we've been working to fulfill from the very beginning of this administration. Back when I first started campaigning for office, I said I wanted to change the way Washington works so that it works for the American people. I meant making Government more open and more transparent and more responsive to the needs of the people. I meant getting rid of the waste and inefficiencies that squander the people's hard-earned money. And I meant finally revamping the systems that undermine our efficiency and threaten our security and fail to serve the interests of the American people. Now, there are outstanding public servants doing essential work throughout our Government. But too often, their best efforts are thwarted by outdated technologies and outmoded ways of doing business. That needs to change. We have to challenge a status quo that accepts billions of dollars in waste as the cost of doing business and enables obsolete or underperforming programs to survive year after year simply because that's the way things have always been done.

  • Letter/ Email Script Twitter Message
    July 12, 2021: Global Vaccine Equity Call to Action Draft 5 Letter/ Email Script Dear Honorable_________ I am a [social worker/student/professor/researcher] at [organization/institution]. I live in____________ and I am a constituent in your [district/state]. I am writing to share my concern about the rising global COVID-19 vaccine apartheid that will threaten human rights, health equity, and social and economic justice in the United States—and around the world—for many years to come. I welcome the U.S. commitment to provide 500 million doses of vaccine support to the world, waive vaccine patents, and increase COVID-19 vaccine and drug manufacturing. I also appreciate President Biden’s moral leadership at the G7 summit, where he encouraged G7 leaders to pledge donations of 1 billion vaccines. However, the world needs about 10 billion vaccines to be urgently delivered, which means we need to find immediate solutions beyond vaccine donations. The U.S. is uniquely positioned to prevent further catastrophe in resource-poor nations and end the vaccine apartheid across the globe. Therefore, I urge you to ask President Biden to take the following steps to end the global COVID-19 vaccine apartheid. 1. The U.S. has unused surplus vaccines that will expire soon. Therefore, we can provide more vaccines to end the global vaccine apartheid. 2. The U.S. should take the moral leadership to prioritize hard-hit areas and work for direct and immediate bilateral vaccine support, especially given the persistent COVAX setbacks and delays. 3. Support a comprehensive World Trade Organization waiver for vaccine patents and technologies associated with the vaccines.

BIOMETRICS TAKES OFF—FIGHT BETWEEN PRIVACY AND AVIATION SECURITY WAGES ON ALEXA N. ACQUISTA* ABSTRACT In the last two decades, the Department of Homeland Secur- ity (DHS) has implemented a variety of new screening and iden- tity verification methods in U.S. airports through its various agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In particular, biometric technology has become a focal point of aviation secur- ity advances. TSA, CBP, and even private companies have started using fingerprint, iris, and facial scans to verify travelers’ identi- ties, not only to enhance security but also to improve the travel experience. This Comment examines how DHS, its agencies, and private companies are using biometric technology for aviation security. It then considers the most common privacy concerns raised by the expanded use of biometric technology: data breaches, func- tion creep, and data sharing.
