The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

    Collection: Office of the Chief of Staff Files Series: Hamilton Jordan's Confidential Files Folder: Panama Canal Treaty 8/77 [2] Container: 36 Folder Citation: Office of the Chief of Staff Files, Hamilton Jordan's Confidential Files, Panama Canal Treaty 8/77 [2], Container 36 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 30, 1977 TO: PRESIDENT CARTER FROM: HA1.'1ILTON JORDAN I-IY RE: MEETING FOR KEY PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS As you know, we are proceeding stimultaneously along several tracks in our Panama Canal Treaty strategy. We are bringing groups in fro~ target states, you are calling and meeting with individual Senators, and we are working through private groups and multinationals to reach specific Senators. I~ Tne~e still remains a large number of key people and groups who need a briefing and some exposure to you before they will get active. Our recommendation is for a meeting next week with a select group of these people. Through this effort, I I I Ir we should be able to generate both organizational support and key personal endorsements. Because of the nature of this group, it would probably require more than 15-20 minutes of your time. It would probably take a full hour. However, after this briefing, I believe that we could move rapidly on a lot of fronts simultaneously as opposed to approaching many of these same people one by one. Although there might be some persons in this group who would really have to be convinced by this meeting, by a~d large they will be kindly disposed toward support­ ing the treaty.

  • World Bank Document
    Globalization and Potential As prepared for delivery Robert B. Zoellick President of the World Bank Group Public Disclosure Authorized at the 2008 Commencement of The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University “Good afternoon, President Brody, Dean Einhorn, students, alumni, and parents. It’s a great honor to be here to share this special occasion, and to congratulate all of you – students and teachers, family and friends, for the many achievements that today’s celebrations commemorate. This is an important milestone. It took considerable effort, and I expect sacrifice, to be sitting where you are now. You should be proud of what you have achieved. Congratulations. A Step Back: to 1908 Public Disclosure Authorized Most of you are probably thinking about what comes next. Even if you have a job lined up already, you’re wondering whether it’s going to make the most of the knowledge and skills that you’ve gained, and give you the opportunities you’re looking for to make your own contributions in various international fields. But sometimes it’s helpful to take a step back before plunging forward. So let’s turn the clock back…say, 100 hundred years. In 1908, there were fewer people around—the global population was less than 2 billion. Only about 90 million people, of whom 90 percent were white, lived in the United States, and more than half lived in rural areas. Parts of the southwest United States were still unsettled, and southern Florida was a wilderness of mangrove swamps. Here in Washington, DC, there was no SAIS yet.

Leffler, Chairman (ABSTRACT) As the United States reeled from the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in late 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower received a top secret report prepared by a committee of leading scientific, business, and military experts. The panel, called the Gaither committee in recognition of its first chairman, H. Rowan Gaither, Jr., emphasized both the inadequacy of U.S. defense measures designed to protect the civil population and the vulnerability of the country's strategic nuclear forces in the event of a Soviet attack. The Gaither committee viewed these defense measures--ranging from a missile system to defend the continental United States to the construction of shelters to protect the population from radioactive fallout-and the maintenance of sufficient strategic forces to launch military strikes against Soviet targets as essential for the preservation of U.S. security. It concluded that in the case of a surprise Soviet nuclear attack the United States would be unable to defend itselfwith any degree of success.
