Bolded folders are available for use TODAY. No need to FOIA. Kimmitt - 3 Scope and Content Note Robert Kimmitt was a holdover at the National Security Council from the Carter Administration. He continued to work on the same issues, arms transfer and legislative issues, as he had during the Carter years. His formal title at this time was Legal Counsel for the Freedom of Information/Legal Policy office at the NSC. The Library has elected to keep all of these separate office functions within a single Kimmitt collection. The files are easily identifiable by tags added at the front of most folder titles: AT (Arms Transfer); Legal; and LA (Legislative Affairs). A number of Kimmitt's legal folders were pulled and then sent on to various Independent Counsel investigations. No effort was made to identify or to redistribute this material to the Kimmitt collection when it was returned. Please see the Jonathan Scharfen, and/or Paul Thompson collections for additional work product of Robert Kimmitt. Kimmitt, whose father was the Secretary of the Senate during the early years Kimmitt was at the NSC, had a personal interest in legislative affairs. He was never officially a part of this office and some of his legislative affairs folders appear to contain work product of other members of that office, particularly Peter Sommer. Kimmitt left the NSC in 1982, but returned in 1983 as Executive Secretary and Legal Advisor. The Library has not located specific files that are Kimmitt’s from his time as Executive Secretary. Please see the Executive Secretariat records for more information or material originated by Kimmitt as Executive Secretary. The Kimmitt collection is currently not arranged, nor have series been identified.

  • Rebuilding Iraqi Television: a Personal Account
    Rebuilding Iraqi Television: A Personal Account By Gordon Robison Senior Fellow USC Annenberg School of Communication October, 2004 A Project of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy Middle East Media Project USC Center on Public Diplomacy 3502 Watt Way, Suite 103 Los Angeles, CA 90089-0281 www.uscpublicdiplomacy.org USC Center on Public Diplomacy – Middle East Media Project Rebuilding Iraqi Television: A Personal Account By Gordon Robison Senior Fellow, USC Annenberg School of Communication October 27, 2003 was the first day of Ramadan. It was also my first day at a new job as a contractor with the Coalition Provisional Authority, the American-led administration in Occupied Iraq. I had been hired to oversee the news department at Iraqi television. I had been at the station barely an hour when news of a major attack broke: at 8:30am a car bomb had leveled the Red Cross headquarters. The blast was enormous, and was heard across half the city. When the pictures began to come in soon afterwards they were horrific. The death toll began to mount. Then came word of more explosions: car bombs destroying three Iraqi police stations. A fourth police station was targeted but the bomber was intercepted in route. At times like this the atmosphere in the newsroom at CNN, the BBC or even a local television station is focused, if somewhat chaotic. Most news operations have a plan for dealing with big, breaking stories. Things in the newsroom move quickly, and they can get very stressful, but things do happen. Also, this was hardly the first time an atrocity like this had taken place.

  • In the Shadow of General Marshall-Old Soldiers in The
    In The Shadow of General Marshall: Old Soldiers in the Executive Branch Ryan Edward Guiberson Anaconda, Montana Bachelor of Science, United States Air Force Academy, 1992 Master of Arts-Political Science, University of Florida, 1994 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics University of Virginia August, 2013 2 Abstract: The usurpation of political authority by tyrannical military figures is a theme that pervades the history of politics. The United States has avoided such an occurrence and the prospect of a military coup d’etat rarely registers as a realistic concern in American politics. Despite the unlikelihood of this classic form of military usurpation, other more insidious forms lurk and must be guarded against to protect civilian control of the military. One potential manifestation has been referred to as a military colonization of the executive branch. This form implies that retired senior military officers increasingly pursue executive branch positions and unduly promote the interests of the active duty military, its leaders, and military solutions to national security issues. This work addresses military colonization claims by examining the number of retired senior military officers that have served in executive branch positions, trends in where they participate, and their political behavior in these positions. It also uses interviews with retired senior military officers to gain their perspectives on the incentives and disincentives of executive branch service. The study concludes that in the post-Cold War period, participation rates of retired senior military officers in key executive branch positions do not diverge significantly from broader post-World War II patterns.

  • General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    / RESTRICTED C/W/362 GENERAL AGREEMENT ON 29 May 1981 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution REGIONAL AGREEMENTS Calendar of Biennial Reports for Examination At their twenty-seventh session the CONTRACTING PARTIES instructed the Council to establish a calendar fixing dates for the examination, every two years, of the reports on regional agreements (SR.27/12, page 167). In November 1978 the Council agreed on a time-table covering the period April 1979-October 1980 (L/4725). In order to assist the Council in establishing a new calendar, there is herewith attached a table showing various agreements, the dates on which the last biennial reports were submitted or, if applicable, the dates of the reports of the relevant working parties. On the basis of these data a tentative calendar has been suggested for the submission of reports. The table does not include agreements in respect of which the question of biennial reporting was not decided by the Counci I. The listing has been prepared without prejudice to the possibility that certain agreements among developing countries may be covered by the Decision on Differential and More Favourable Treatment, Reciprocity and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries ("enabling clause") (BISD 26S/203). It might be noted in this respect that the Committee on Trade and Development has primary responsibility for super­ vision of the implementation of that Decision. (3ISD 26S/219) When establishing a new time-table, the Council will be aware that some of the agreements listed may be renegotiated in the ensuing period. The time-table may, therefore, be revised as appropriate.

  • JP 3-05, Special Operations
    Joint Publication 3-05 Special Operations 16 July 2014 PREFACE 1. Scope This publication provides overarching doctrine for special operations and the employment and support for special operations forces across the range of military operations. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the joint force commander from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the joint force commander deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the Joint Staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, the Services, and combat support agencies. b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the CJCS, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance.
