Yet, it is precisely because of General Marshall’s self- lessness that we are compelled to be here today to honor and remember him,” said Brian D. Shaw, Foundation president, in welcoming remarks on a cold and rainy morning. “All of us, no matter how we know of George Marshall, remain awed by his example.

(The Museum also includes a vintage John Deere tractor that represents the tangible assets of the Marshall Plan.) The ubiquitous Jeep was described by Marshall as the “greatest advantage in equipment the United States has enjoyed on the ground” in his final report as Army Chief of Staff. It attracts everyone who sees it in the Museum. “These are the instruments which have moved and supplied United States troops in battle,” Marshall wrote. Marshall’s leadership and vision for use of this new general purpose vehicle are illustrated by the visit of a representative from the Bantam Car impressive list of dignitaries such as General Omar Company during the fall of 1940.

    Guam: U.S. Defense Deployments Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs May 6, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22570 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Guam: U.S. Defense Deployments Summary Since 2000, the U.S. military has been building up forward-deployed forces on the westernmost U.S. territory of Guam to increase U.S. presence, deterrence, and power projection for possible responses to crises and disasters, counterterrorism, and contingencies in support of South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, or elsewhere in Asia. Since 2006, three joint exercises based at Guam called “Valiant Shield” have boosted U.S. military readiness in the Asian-Pacific region. The defense buildup on Guam has been moderate. China still has concerns about Guam’s buildup, suspecting it to be directed against China. There has been concern that China and North Korea could target Guam with missiles. Still, Guam’s role increased in engaging China’s military. In 2006, the United States and Japan agreed on a “Roadmap” to strengthen their alliance, including a buildup on Guam to cost $10.3 billion, with Japan contributing 60%. Primary goals were to start the related construction on Guam by 2010 and to complete relocation of about 8,000 marines from Okinawa to Guam by 2014. In Tokyo on February 17, 2009, the Secretary of State signed the bilateral “Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan Concerning the Implementation of the Relocation of the III Marine Expeditionary Force Personnel and Their Dependents From Okinawa to Guam” that reaffirmed the “Roadmap” of May 1, 2006.

    1 Climate change politics in the United States From Rio to Johannesburg Pierre Lepetit* One year ago international negotiations on climate change were expected to cease after the decision of President Bush to reject the Kyoto Protocol as “fatally flawed”. Despite the Bush administration's position, the rest of the world agreed at the sixth UNFCCC1 Conference of the Parties (COP6) in Bonn to push ahead without the United States, and a number of decisions were adopted at COP7 in Marrakech in November 2001. It allows for an imminent ratification of the Kyoto protocol before the Johannesburg summit in spite of Canada’s understandable reluctance.. Nevertheless the goal set by the Convention of Climate Change will not be reached unless the United States participates fully in the international effort. Without the United States, and because the rules have been relaxed in the Bonn and Marrakech bargaining, the Kyoto protocol will have only a modest impact on worldwide emissions. As Ray Kopp2 has shown, the amount of carbon dioxide that some countries would have to cut is approximately equal to the amount by which other countries – mostly Russia - would be allowed to increase. Moreover, without the United States there is little chance to enlarge the participation in the Kyoto mechanism during the second commitment period. “Countries know that pursuing virtuous global warming policies make little sense if no one follows suit. Any individual reduction on their part will be swamped by emissions from others. Indeed going first could be economically lethal, driving up a country’s production costs and pushing jobs abroad.

  • REAGAN NATIONAL DEFENSE FORUM Building Peace Through Strength for American Security
    REAGAN NATIONAL DEFENSE FORUM Building Peace Through Strength for American Security SATURDAY, NOVEMBER , RONALD REAGAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA Mission Statement The Reagan National Defense Forum (RNDF) brings together leaders and key stakeholders in the defense community, including members of Congress, civilian officials and military leaders from the Defense Department and industry, to address the health of our national defense and stimulate a discussion that promotes policies that strengthen the US military in the future. In an era of fiscal austerity where the threats to our national security are increasing in number and complexity, the RNDF will allow senior leaders from the defense community to come together with viewpoints on how best to deal with it. Though President Reagan left office many years ago, the United States military continues to benefit from his commitment and vision for a strong military. Recognizing that today’s decisions will affect the military’s capabilities for years to come, the RNDF will charge leaders from current and past Administrations and Congress to look beyond the immediate issues facing the military and explore how we can build a strong national defense for the future. Honorary Steering Committee The Honorable Howard P. “Buck” McKeon, Chairman The Honorable Sam Nunn (Retired) The Honorable Robert Gates The Honorable George Shultz The Honorable Duncan L. Hunter (Retired) (Reagan Foundation Trustee) The Honorable James M. Inhofe The Honorable Adam Smith The Honorable Ann McLaughlin Korologos The Honorable John Warner (Retired) (Reagan Foundation Trustee) The Honorable Pete Wilson The Honorable Carl Levin (Reagan Foundation Trustee) Agenda The 2014 RNDF daylong conference includes a morning welcome reception, simultaneous morning and afternoon panel sessions, keynote luncheon, closing session with a special keynote address and museum tours of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

These are the questions for Senator Joe Biden, ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican member of the Foreign Relations and Intelligence committees. Karen Tumulty of Time magazine joins in the questioning. And we'll have a 50th Anniversary Flashback on that master of communications, Ronald Reagan.
