THOMAS BYRON III EDWARD HIMMELFARB MICHAEL SHIH Attorneys Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530-0001 [email protected] (202) 514-2217 QUESTIONS PRESENTED If the President declares “a national emergency in ac- cordance with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) that requires use of the armed forces,” the Secretary of Defense has express statutory authority to “undertake military construction projects * * * not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to sup- port such use of the armed forces.” 10 U.S.C. 2808(a). “Such projects may be undertaken only within the total amount of funds that have been appropriated for military construction, including funds appropriated for family housing, that have not been obligated.” Ibid.

Whether respondents have a cognizable cause of action to obtain review of the Secretary’s compliance with Section 2808 in reprioritizing appropriated but un- obligated funds for the military construction projects being authorized. 2. Whether the Secretary exceeded his statutory au- thority under Section 2808 in reprioritizing appropri- ated funds for the military construction projects being authorized.

  • I Have Been Working on a Book, Stand-Ins, on The
    Workshop Participants: I have been working on a book, Stand-Ins, on the causes and consequences of temporary leadership in government, business, and religion, which is aimed at a more general audience. Given recent events, I have returned to more traditional scholarship to explore some of the issues involving temporary leadership (and the lack thereof) in federal agencies, among other topics. This paper is brand new, incomplete, and unpolished. Given its length, I would recommend reading the Introduction (pp.1-5), Scope of Actings (pp.13-27), and Statutory Questions (pp.33-42). I look forward to your reactions and suggestions for improvement. AJO Actings Anne Joseph O’Connell Stanford Law School April 1, 2019 Please do not cite or distribute beyond the workshop without permission. I. Introduction Stand-in leaders do not usually command much attention. They step up in moments of need to keep organizations running. The stereotypical interim leader is therefore a caretaker—in place to maintain stability; not to implement major changes. But not all interim leaders are caretakers. Some are auditioning for the permanent job. And a few are there to shake up the organization—so-called “fixers”. The scope of temporary leadership is vast—after all, traditional leaders are transitory, and selection procedures for more permanent leaders take time. On the public side, there are interim leaders in all branches of the federal government. In Congress, there are appointed senators, chosen by their state’s governor to fill in for an elected senator who has died or resigned, perhaps in disgrace or perhaps to take a different job.

  • INTERIOR Energy Companies Paid Bernhardt More Than $80K Last Year
    INTERIOR Energy companies paid Bernhardt more than $80K last year Corbin Hiar, E&E News reporter Published: Thursday, May 11, 2017 David Bernhardt filed documents ahead of his confirmation hearing to be Interior deputy secretary that said he will recuse himself for a year from issues involving companies he had lobbied for. Photo courtesy of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP. Interior deputy secretary nominee David Bernhardt earned at least $80,000 last year working for a host of energy and environmental interests, disclosure forms show. He agreed to recuse himself for one year from matters involving any of the companies as well as other former clients of his or his law firm, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP. The documents Bernhardt filed in order to advance through the confirmation process were signed off on earlier this week by the Interior Department's top ethics official. Bernhardt's financial disclosure report was filed with the independent Office of Government Ethics on March 6, more than a month before the White House formally nominated him for Interior's second-highest post (Greenwire, April 28). The disclosures show Bernhardt made more than $1.1 million last year from Brownstein Hyatt, where he is a partner, and a holding company of the law firm. The disclosure report lists the following clients as paying him at least $5,000 for his legal services in 2016: Targa Resources Co. LLC, Noble Energy Co. LLC, NRG Energy Inc., Sempra Energy, Lafarge North America - Western Region, Safari Club International Foundation, Active Network LLC, Statoil Gulf Services LLC, Cobalt International Energy, Rosemont Copper Co., Independent Petroleum Association of America, Taylor Energy Co.

  • The People Shaping the Trump Administration
    The People Shaping the Trump Administration Despite Running on a Pledge to ‘Drain the Swamp’ and Crack Down on Special Interests, Donald Trump Has Filled His Transition Team With Lobbyists and Others With Potential Conflicts November 16, 2016 – Donald Trump rode to the White House by raging about alleged rampant corruption in Washington and pledging to “drain the swamp.” Each of the five points in the ethics platform he issued in October focused on diminishing the influence of lobbyists.1 These included a promise to impose a five-year ban on former executive branch officials lobbying the federal government. Trump further promised to crack down on special interest-influence by expanding the definition of lobbyist to include consultants and others who trade on inside government information and expertise.2 But Trump’s nascent transition team, which will shape his administration, is swarming with lobbyists and other special interests. Many of the lobbyists are working for the transition on areas for which they currently are lobbying the federal government. Meanwhile, many of those who aren’t lobbyists appear to have potential conflicts of interest. Vice president-elect Mike Pence reportedly said on November 15 that the transition team would be purged of lobbyists, but the transition team has not made the point official.3 Even if true, that remedy would not address cases such as a defense contractor working on defense interests, or a lawyer for health care interests working on health care reform. Here are brief summaries of individuals who have been reported in the media as overseeing agencies or policies for Trump’s transition team.

    GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works Faculty Scholarship 2020 The Rocky Road to Energy Dominance: The Executive Branch’s Limited Authority to Modify and Revoke Withdrawals of Federal Lands from Mineral Production Robert L. Glicksman Hillary M. Hoffman Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.gwu.edu/faculty_publications Part of the Law Commons The Rocky Road to Energy Dominance: The Executive Branch’s Limited Authority to Modify and Revoke Withdrawals of Federal Lands from Mineral Production Hillary M. Hoffmann* & Robert L. Glicksman** 33 GEO. J. ENVTL L., Issue # 2 (forthcoming) Abstract The Trump Administration’s implementation of its America First Energy Plan, whose goal is achieving U.S. “energy dominance,” has relied heavily upon public mineral development. Mineral development on federal lands is largely governed by statute. The statutory legal mechanisms by which the Executive Branch can “open” or “close” an area of federal lands to mineral development, whether onshore or offshore, are withdrawal, modification, and revocation. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) are the primary statutes that govern onshore and offshore mineral development on over 2 billion acres of federal lands. Both FLPMA and OCSLA authorize withdrawals, which the Executive can use to place federal lands off limits to mineral development. FLPMA also authorizes modifications and revocations, which can remove constraints on such development. The Trump Administration has relied on both statutes in its quest to expand the areas that are available for private mineral disposition through modification or revocation of withdrawals by prior administrations. The authority provided by FLPMA and OCSLA to determine the availability of federal lands for mineral development is subject to a series of substantive and procedural constraints.

    The Honorable Donald J. Trump The Honorable Mike Pence President of the United States Vice President of the United States 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Chair of White House Coronavirus Task Force Washington, D.C. 20500 Eisenhower Executive Office Building West Executive Ave N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 April 10, 2020 Dear President Trump and Vice President Pence: We write to urge the Administration and all underlying agencies to produce, distribute, and make publicly available materials and resources related to the COVID-19 health emergency and the implementation of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in Spanish and other languages spoken throughout the country. As a matter of public health and safety for all, English-language proficiency should not serve as a barrier to obtain or distribute vital information from the Federal government. To meet the tremendous needs during this unprecedented crisis, the federal government has expanded health and testing options, provided grants and loans to big and small businesses to keep their workforce, and bolstered federal assistance programs like unemployment insurance and nutrition assistance. Unfortunately, much of the public safety guidance, benefit eligibility requirements, and application materials are being distributed in only English. We understand that federal agencies are working hard to implement guidance and programs as quickly as practicable, but many of those most in need may not understand guidance and miss out on life-saving guidance for these benefits because English is not their first language.
