Bowers Jr. It has been a great privilege for me to serve as chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Foundation this past year. This has been the culmination of three years on Vincent F. Callahan Jr. Faye C. Cooper the Battlefields Commission helping to write the management plan for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District and the six years on the John D. Crim II Claude P. Foster Foundation’s Board. As I conclude my time on the Board I have every confidence that incoming chairman, Dr. Irvin Hess, will provide stable leadership and bring Kay D.

We also launched a marketing program that will assist Phillip C. Stone James L. White in making the Valley’s economy even stronger through increased heritage tourism. These accomplishments have not been achieved without considerable effort, Doreen S. Williams diplomacy, compromise—and at times a little head clunking.

    STATEMENT OF DAVID RYBICKI DEPUTY ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL CRIMINAL DIVISION DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE TOM LANTOS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AT A HEARING ENTITLED “PURSUING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ATROCITIES” PRESENTED June 13, 2019 STATEMENT OF DAVID RYBICKI DEPUTY ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BEFORE THE TOM LANTOS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AT A HEARING ENTITLED “PURSUING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ATROCITIES” PRESENTED JUNE 13, 2019 Thank you for inviting the Department of Justice to testify at this hearing. Pursuing justice on behalf of victims of atrocity crimes is a mission of great and manifest importance. As the Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division who supervises a key participant in that mission – the Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section – I am pleased to address the Justice Department’s ongoing efforts against the perpetrators of atrocity crimes and other human rights and humanitarian law offenses. It is especially fitting that this hearing on the subject of the U.S. Government’s efforts to hold accountable the perpetrators of atrocity crimes and other human rights violations is being held before a commission named after the late Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the Congress of the United States. His life was saved in wartime Budapest, Hungary, through the legendary efforts of Raoul Wallenberg, a courageous American-educated Swedish diplomat. Wallenberg’s herculean efforts to rescue Hungarian Jews were significantly funded by the United States government and, in recognition of his extraordinary heroism in the face of evil, he was posthumously made an honorary United States citizen by Act of Congress in 1981 – an action that was endorsed by the Reagan Administration in part based on the recommendation of the Department’s Criminal Division.

  • Witnesses' Bios
    U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Hearing Religious Freedom in Nigeria: Extremism and Government Inaction Panel Frank Wolf was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 10th District of Virginia in 1980. He announced that he would leave the Congress in December 2014, at the end of his 17th term, to focus exclusively on human rights and religious freedom. In announcing his decision, Wolf said that as a follower of Jesus, he is called to work for justice and reconciliation, and to be an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. In January 2015, Wolf was appointed the first-ever Wilson Chair in Religious Freedom at Baylor University, a post he held through 2016. That same month he joined the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative, a newly created religious freedom group, from which he retired in September 2018 as Distinguished Senior Fellow. Wolf is the author of the International Religious Freedom Act, which infused America’s first freedom – religious freedom – into U.S. foreign policy by creating the International Religious Freedom Office at the State Department headed by an Ambassador-at-Large, and the bipartisan, independent U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Wolf also founded and served as co-chairman of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission. Wolf received his B.A. degree from Penn State University in 1961 and his law degree from Georgetown University in 1965. Mike Jobbins leads Global Affairs and Partnerships at Search for Common Ground. He joined Search in 2008 and has designed, developed and managed conflict resolution, violence prevention, and inclusive governance programs.

  • The Wolf Act Amendments to the U.S. International Religious Freedom Act: Breakthrough Or Breakdown?
    UNIVERSITY of PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL of LAW & PUBLIC AFFAIRS Vol. 4 Jan. 2019 No. 2 THE WOLF ACT AMENDMENTS TO THE U.S. INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACT: BREAKTHROUGH OR BREAKDOWN? Robert C. Blitt* This Article takes a critical look at the major changes brought about by recent amendments to the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA). The first section briefly traces IRFA’s key features and operation since its enactment, including an overview of the statute’s institutions and reporting and sanctioning mechanisms. This section also highlights the ongoing debate regarding IRFA’s legitimacy and offers a summary of the major criticisms leveled against the statute, as well as the responses raised in its defense. With this background in place, the Article turns to an analysis of the legislative history surrounding the Frank R. Wolf International Religious Freedom Act (Wolf Act) between 2015 and 2016. This bipartisan legislative initiative envisioned a wide range of amendments intended to address some of IRFA’s past shortcomings. Among the changes initially put forward, IRFA’s narrow focus on states would be expanded to include violent nonstate actors responsible for violating freedom of religion or belief. In addition, the original Wolf Act called for boosting the responsibilities and profile of IRFA’s institutional actors, increasing funding for the promotion * Professor of Law, University of Tennessee College of Law.

  • IT Governance Structure Is Overly Complex and Does Not Function Effectively
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Inspector General Washington, DC 20546-0001 May 15, 2014 The Honorable Barbara A. Mikulski Chairwoman Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Richard C. Shelby Ranking Member Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Subject: Status of Recommendations Made in Audit Report “NASA’s Information Technology Governance” Report No. IG-13-015 Dear Madam Chairwoman and Senator Shelby: In June 2013, the NASA Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report that found the decentralized nature of NASA’s operations and its longstanding culture of autonomy hinder its ability to implement effective information technology (IT) governance.1 We reported that NASA’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) has limited visibility and control over a majority of the Agency’s IT investments, operates in an organizational structure that marginalizes the authority of the position, and cannot enforce security measures across NASA’s computer networks. Moreover, the Agency’s IT governance structure is overly complex and does not function effectively. As a result, Agency managers tend to rely on informal relationships rather than formalized business processes when making IT-related decisions. We made eight recommendations in our audit to improve NASA’s IT governance structure to effectively balance compliance, cost, risk, security, and mission success and meet the needs of internal and external stakeholders. As directed by House Report 113-171 - approved by the explanatory statement to Public Law 113-76, the Consolidated Appropriations for FY 2014 - we are providing this update to keep you informed of the actions taken by NASA management in response to our IT governance recommendations.

    Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission Congressional-Executive Commission on China Hearing on China, Genocide and the Olympics Tuesday, May 18, 2021 – 1:00 p.m. Virtual vis Cisco WebEx Statement of Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for bringing us together on this very important issue. It's about our values. It's about who we are as a country. It's about more than words. It's about actions. Thank you, and I thank you for the years of service that you have given to this. You never have faltered in all of it. I myself have lost my innocence on expecting people to behave in a way that is consistent with their words, when it comes to respecting human rights. But matters have only gotten worse in China, as you have pointed out, and the genocide recognized as a genocide should be reason for us to change our actions. But it's been an honor to serve with you and with Frank Wolf over the years, and I thank you for calling forth the bipartisanship of this to Senator Merkley. Jim McGovern has, as has Chris Smith, been a relentless, persistent advocate for human rights in China – well, throughout the world – but I've seen him in action speaking to the leadership of China, going to Tibet, talking – giving – undermining the misrepresentation that the Chinese are making about what is going on in Tibet. You talked about Hong Kong. We talked about human rights throughout China. But now this rises to the level of recognized genocide.
