Eliot Engel, NY-16 January 14, 2019 RE: Pay the Defenders of NYC and NY Harbor Dear Members of the NYC Congressional Delegation, On behalf of our membership, we urge you to take immediate action to pay uniformed members of the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to keep employees critical to the defense and preparedness of New York City and New York Harbor working and paid regardless of the political battles being fought in Washington, DC. We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us. USPHS and NOAA are also suffering as they ensure our ability to prepare and respond to threats to our city and port. NYC’s Congressional delegation must stand up for our defenders and pay them their due. In service, Kristen L. Rouse U.S. Army Veteran – OEF (Afghanistan) VII, X, and XII President & Founding Director NYC Veterans Alliance NYC Veterans Alliance | P.O. Box 532 | New York NY 10159 | nycveteransalliance.org ADVANCING VETERANS & FAMILIES AS CIVIC LEADERS .

March 11, 2020 the Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN March 11, 2020 The Honorable Carolyn B. Maloney Chairwoman Committee on Oversight and Government Reform U.S. House of Representatives 2157 Raybum House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairwoman Maloney: In response to a May 2017 incident in which a surge in comments caused disruption to the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECF$), GAO was asked to review both (1) the actions that the Commission took in response to the May 2017 event, and (2) the extent to which the FCC has implemented security controls to effectively protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ECFS and two related FCC systems. As a result of that investigation, on September 26, 2019, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a limited official-use only (LOUO) report entitled FCC Improved Its Electronic Comment System, but Needs to Remedy Additional Control Weaknesses, GAO 19-247 SU (Report).” During the course of its review, GAO shared with the Commission a draft of its Report, which identified a number of issues with the Commission’s information security program and made 136 recommendations for correcting those issues. In a September 13, 2019, response to this draft report, the FCC Managing Director concurred with GAO’s recommendations, noted that the Commission submitted evidence to GAO that we had mitigated 83 of those recommendations, and explained the Commission’s timeline for addressing the remaining 53 recommendations. Based on the FCC’s response and subsequent actions taken in response to the draft report, the GAO has closed 85 of its 136 recommendations as having been addressed by the agency.

Congress of the United States Washington D.C
Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

Led a Letter
March 26, 2020 Donald Trump President 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear President Trump: We write to urge the immediate approval of extended unemployment benefits passed in Public Law No.: 116-127, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, for the State of New York. New York State has over one-half of all COVID-19 cases in the United States. We must mobilize all resources possible in an expeditious manner to mitigate public health risk and economic decimation. Absent federal intervention, the earliest New York State would qualify for Extended Unemployment Benefits is April, allowing benefits to be distributed in May to individuals who qualify. However, the situation in New York State grows increasingly urgent. On Thursday, March 19th, the New York State Labor Department registered more than 206,000 website logins and 159,000 phone calls by 12:00PM, a 400% increase over the average. Some parts of New York reported a 1000% increase in claims. The next day, New York State was declared a major disaster area. According to Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force Coordinator, the practice of social distancing is especially important in New York, as individuals in the New York City are testing positive for COVID-19 at a rate of 28%, compared to 8% nationwide. Every sector of New York’s economy is impacted by COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, including food, transportation, arts, entertainment, retail, education, real estate, and non-profit. While the public health and economic environment created by COVID-19 is unprecedented in modern history, it is certain that thousands of New Yorkers will rely on unemployment assistance.
