    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Health and Human Services Committee January 23, 2008 [CONFIRMATION LB713 LB730 LB738 LB797] The Committee on Health and Human Services met at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 23, 2008, in Room 1510 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on gubernatorial appointments, LB713, LB730, LB738, and LB797. Senators present: Joel Johnson, Chairperson; Tim Gay, Vice Chairperson; Philip Erdman; Tom Hansen; Gwen Howard; Dave Pankonin; and Arnie Stuthman. Senators absent: None. [] SENATOR JOHNSON: Thanks very much. Well, let's go ahead and start here this afternoon. I'm Senator Joel Johnson, head of the Health and Human Services Committee, and I don't know whether it was an accident or not, but someone put on my desk up here happy retirement," and this is the last go-round for a few of us around this table. But let's make it a real good session and try and make the world a little bit better for our having been here. Senator Gay, to my right here, is the Vice Chair; beyond him is Senator Pankonin; and then starting off to the left is Senator Howard, Senator Hansen, and Senator Stuthman. We've got Erin Mack and Jeff with us here, who serve as our counsel. And one of the things that we have heard from many people is that we have the best office staff in the building, and I think that's exactly right. So with that, let's go through a few of our ground rules, and they're the same ones as we had before.

  • The Atlantic Council--The Early Years
    The Atlantic Council--The Early Years by Melvin Small, Professor History Department Wayne State University Detroit, MI 48202 Prepared for NATO as a report related to a Research Fellowship 1 June 1998 On 8 April 1976, the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that James F. Sattler, a part-time consultant at the Atlantic Council, had been exposed as a secret agent of the state security apparatus of the East German government. His espionage work had been so highly regarded that the German communists had made him the youngest full colonel in their intelligence services. Yet the object of his espionage, the Atlantic Council, which since its founding in 1961 had promoted NATO and European- American cooperation through publication of books and pamphlets and the sponsorship of conferences, was a private organization whose activities never involved classified materials. Moreover, although the Washington Post noted that the Atlantic Council's board "reads like a who's who of the so-called 'Eastern foreign policy establishment,'" the Sattler expose represented the first time the Council had made headlines.1 Why would the East Germans send an agent to work at the Atlantic Council? And how could it be that although its directors included--and still include--virtually all former secretaries of state and scores of prominent diplomats and 3 industrial leaders, few Americans have ever heard of the organization? While scholars, journalists, and pamphleteers have written widely about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission and their alleged pernicious influence on American foreign policy, no one has ever studied the Atlantic Council (ACUS), despite the fact that many extremely influential Americans have belonged to all three organizations.

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii Abstract DAVIS, ROBERT THOMAS II, Ph.D., August 2008, History The Dilemma of NATO Strategy, 1949-1968 (422 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Peter John Brobst This study is a reappraisal of the strategic dilemma of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the Cold War. This dilemma revolves around the problem of articulating a strategic concept for a military alliance in the nuclear era. NATO was born of a perceived need to defend Western Europe from a Soviet onslaught. It was an imperative of the early alliance to develop a military strategy and force posture to defend Western Europe should such a war break out. It was not long after the first iteration of strategy took shape than the imperative for a military defense of Europe receded under the looming threat of thermonuclear war. The advent of thermonuclear arsenals in both the United States and Soviet Union brought with it the potential destruction of civilization should war break out. This realization made statesmen on both sides of the Iron Curtain undergo what has been referred to as an ongoing process of nuclear learning.

  • The Us Army and the Defense of West Germany
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CREATING DETERRENCE FOR LIMITED WAR: THE U.S. ARMY AND THE DEFENSE OF WEST GERMANY, 1953-1982 Ingo Wolfgang Trauschweizer, Ph.D., 2006 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Jon T. Sumida, Department of History This dissertation addresses the role of the U.S. Army as an instrument of national and alliance strategy in the era of the Cold War. The army was confronted with the fundamental question of its utility in the nuclear age. This dissertation argues that after the Korean War army leaders pursued a consistent policy to create a force that could deter limited, i.e., conventional and tactical-nuclear war in Central Europe. This policy resulted in a three-decade long transition process, as the army had to respond to influences ranging from the Soviet threat to inter-service rivalry, budgetary concerns, rapidly evolving technology, and military and political developments in Europe and Asia. The transition process occurred in three stages. First, army leaders redefined the mission of their institution from war-fighting to the deterrence of war. Then, the structure of combat divisions was altered to reflect the requirements of nuclear as well as conventional battlefields. Finally, and only after the Vietnam War, doctrine was introduced that combined specific objectives in Central Europe, modern divisional structure, weapons technology, and newly defined principles of operational art in a coherent system of air and land warfare. At the heart of the dissertation rests the question of strategic decision-making and the impact of military institutions. But it also addresses NATO’s military and political capabilities and considers the effect of nuclear weapons on land warfare and the deterrence of war.
