The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:05 a.m., in room 1318, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. William Proxmire (chair- man of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senator Proxmire. Also present: Richard F. Kaufman, general counsel; Loughlin F. McHugh, professional staff member; 'George D. Rrumbhaar, Jr., minority counsel; and M. Catherine Miller, minority economist. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN PROXMIRE Chairman PROXMIRE. The subcommittee will come to order. Good morning, Mr. Hills. We are happy to have you here. Today we begin the first in what I expect will be an -extended series of -hearings on -the subject -of abuses of corporate power. The focus will be on official corporate crimes and improper behavior: Bribes, kickbacks, illegal campaign contributions, and other -improper uses of corporate funds. I use -the phrase, "official corporate crimes," to draw an important distinction. We are not talking about petty theft or embezzlement within the firm, an official who steals money from the corporation. That is something we know about and something that we all deplore and something that of course crops up at any time under any cir- cumstances. We are talking about something else other than what is generally referred to as white-collar crime. We intend to concentrate on cases where corporations -have wrong- fully used their funds as a matter of policy, with the approval and active participation of top corporate management. The numerous disclosures that have been made so far-involving some of the largest and most prestigious firms in America-suggest that at least an important part of the private sector is a house of marked cards, composed of kings of corruption, jacks of all illicit trades, and aces of political influence. We need look no further to understand the loss of consumer con- fidence than the companies that have been involved in these kinds of excesses. Private -enterprise seems unable to monitor itself. Instead, it is undermining itself. (1) 2 In the hearings we will ask the following questions: One, what is the extent and seriousness of corporate abuses? Are the cases isolated and exceptional or do they indicate pervasive, deep-rooted problems? Two, how seriously is economic policy being distorted to serve the demands of private companies? Three, what are the estimated costs of corporate abuses to the tax- payer, the consumer and the shareholder? Four, are new solutions, including new legislation, needed to deal with these problems? If corporate abuses of power have become pervasive, then all of us need to consider, where do we co from here? Our first witness is Eon. Roderick M. Hills, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Hills, we are very happy to have you here. You have a very interesting statement. Go right ahead. STATEMENT OF HON. RODERICK M. HILLS, CHAIRMAN, SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ACCOMPANIED BY STANLEY SPORKIN, DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF ENFORCEMENT Mr. HEELS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am particularly pleased to be before this subcommittee on this subject. Based on the 60 plus days I have served at the Commnission. I am pleased to say, on behalf of all the Commissioners, that nothing makes us quite so proud as the efforts of a relatively small number of people in this area. The effects they have had on American business I think will prove to be a major asset to American business. We don't know thc arns''crs to all y our questions, Senator. We do know that our program is progressing. and I hope that in my testi- mony which I shall give in large part this morning, and in my prepared statement, we can say something that is relevant to those questions. I will attempt to describe our voluntary program, that is our effort to elicit from corporations throughout the country a willingness to come in and tell us they will give us answers to many of the questions you have asked. I think it is instructive, as sad as we may be about some of the practices that have 'been uncovered, to see how the corpo- rate apparatus will react once it faces up to the problems of the past. The very distinguished lawyer from New York, John J.

    Hans Knot International Radio Report February/March 2021 Welcome to the first issue of the International Radio Report for 2021. Thanks for all the Christmas and New Year wishes which came in here in Groningen and I have to say that we both appreciated the amount of wishes. I hope you’ve all the strength to go on with the fight to Corona and that before summer there will be a far better situation. Of course in this issue I will answer some e mails from readers as well as brining in some longer stories again. There is so much on the shelfs to bring to you that once again I had to make a selection. In last issue I promised that soon an article would be published in our on line journal for media and music culture, which has been done: About Ronan O'Rahilly, the driving force behind Radio Caroline, many stories circulate. Some of those say he also was the manager of some beknown pop groups and singers. By know these tales all have been disproved. Still, as Martin van der Ven tells, O'Rahilly once may have started a band: the Caroline Showband. Read more in the excellent article: www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME23/Caroline_Showband.shtml In the following link a lot of info about the Scheveningen 96 which became Ger Anne in 1968 as tender from Veronica when Dirk Verweij bought the ship. Also many photographs. https://www.scheveningen- haven.nl/info/schepen/index.php?nummer=96&lijst=0&af=SCH Next an e mail from Jan van der Meulen from Leeuwarden: ‘Dear Hans, thank you very much for once again providing wonderful information about a period when I too had my ears glued to the tube radio.

  • Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter Van Dam Has Died
    Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter van Dam has died DATELINE 6th January 2018 Peter van Dam - described as the great godfather of Flemish pop radio, has died at the age of 65. Best remembered for his programmes on Radio Mi Amigo, Peter also worked on other offshore stations - Radio 199, Radio Caroline and Radio Atlantis. After offshore radio Peter worked on many land-based radio stations including TROS, AVRO, KRO, Radio 10 Gold, Hilversum 3, VTM, MaevaFM, Radio Contact, Radio 192 and Radio Flandria (where he was launch Programme Director). Colleague Eric Hofman paid tribute to Peter and his contribution to Flemish radio - "The first time we met was in Vilvoorde when we became colleagues. He was a great guy, with a huge personality, both in the studio and outside. A man with a phenomenal sense of humour, a lightning-fast thinker, a genius radio maker and top disc-jockey. The only Belgian who became a DJ at Hilversum 3 in prime time and the only Belgian to present the Pinkpop Festival - a whole honour. The name Peter van Dam remains inextricably linked to the golden age of radio which he presented in his inimitable, unique style. Peter is synonymous with Radio Atlantis, Caroline, Hilversum 3, but primarily Radio Mi Amigo, where he first broadcast live on board the MV Mi Amigo and later recorded programmes in Spain. Greece also became acquainted with his enormous radio talent and experience, where he helped to promote Karpathos FM from the bottom to the top of the ratings. For me Peter van Dam is the best Belgian deejay ever.

  • I Helped Carry William Burroughs to the Medical Tent Further Thoughts on the ‘Pirate’ Radio Stations of the 1960S
    Lobster 59 I helped carry William Burroughs to the medical tent Further thoughts on the ‘pirate’ radio stations of the 1960s Simon Matthews Lobster 58 published a piece that I had written about the odd career of Simon Dee. Inevitably there were many subsidiary areas of research, interesting facts and late arriving information that could not easily be included in it. These have now been assembled and are presented here. Broadly they cover three further areas of enquiry: To what extent were those in the UK who supported commercial radio in the 1950s and ‘60s actively seeking to change the economic and political environment in Britain? Did they oppose the post-1945 consensus around the welfare state and central government planning, and if they did by whom were they influenced? Was there an explicitly political agenda behind the various US-style offshore commercial radio stations that appeared in Europe from 1961 onwards; and, if so, was this in any way promoted by the US government? Did the various ‘counter culture’ activities of Ronan O’Rahilly in the 1960s and ‘70s have a deliberate political purpose? Beginnings A discussion of the origins and role of Radio Luxembourg – in its heyday the epitome of slick broadcasting – was omitted 34 Summer 2010 from the article in Lobster 58 but is worth setting out now in some detail as an example of the earliest exposure of the UK to commercial radio and an indication of how far back an interest in this subject can be traced amongst selected figures in the British establishment. The station came into being as a result of the enthusiasm of Leonard Plugge.

  • The Long March to Freeport UK (Winter 2020)
    And in 5th Place? The long march to Freeport UK Simon Matthews It’s a good job that the requirements for membership of the G7 are vague. The organisation started in March 1973 as the G5 with a decision to hold regular, informal meetings of the finance ministers and officials of the US, UK, West Germany, France and Japan. Italy joined in 1976 and Canada in 1977. The only criterion for admission was that all the participants regarded themselves as ‘large advanced economies’, though given the absence of the USSR (which surely was one, too, at that point) it was a self-selecting forum for the larger pro-western players in the Cold War. Admittedly, the definition of ‘large advanced economy’ was somewhat vague but one wouldn’t quibble today with the choice of member states back in 1973. But is this still true? In particular, given its loss of much of its manufacturing base since 1979, is the UK’s continued membership justified? Our politicians certainly think so. Until very recently it was a political commonplace that the UK was the fifth largest economy in the world. David Cameron,1 Theresa May,2 various Liberal Democrat candidates3 and Nigel Farage,4 all stated that the UK is the fifth largest economy in the world. In the Labour Party manifesto for the 2018 general election, Jeremy Corbyn stated that the UK is the fifth richest country 1 The Independent, 9 November 2015 <https://tinyurl.com/y4lgk7qz>? or <https:// www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/britain-would-do-okay-outside-the-european-union- david-cameron-says-a6727031.html> and in the Wall Street Journal, ‘U.K.’s “Brexit” Referendum Will Leave Deep Scars’, 28 February 2016.

His Tortuga Island "Freeport" project, which envisioned both capitalistic development ad social improvement for poverty-stricken Haitians, fell victim to an intrigue of intemational money-dealing and Cold-War power politics lt concludes, "ifthe dream of Pierson had been allowed to flourish ... then this Caribbean island nation may have been lifted out ofthe cesspool in which Haiti still frnds itself." LIEYWORDS: Haiti, Don Pienon, Duvalier regimes, Totuga (Island), Dupont-Translinear Freeport, Hickenlooper Amendment (USA) When Don Pierson finally died on Saturday, March 30, 1996, it was as if his spirit had already preceded him in death due to years of repeated suffocation by hostile opponents focusing upon the same choke-point. There is always a finite :rmount of vim, vigor, fun-filled optimism and ram-rod determination that is bottled-up in even the most die-hard entrepreneur, and when it is gone, the lights go out in its ethereal personality. Even though the biological structure of Don Pierson died of natural medical causes, it was as if his will to live life as a pioneering free spirit had already expired.
