    The BCCI Affair A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate by Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown December 1992 102d Congress 2d Session Senate Print 102-140 This December 1992 document is the penultimate draft of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee report on the BCCI Affair. After it was released by the Committee, Sen. Hank Brown, reportedly acting at the behest of Henry Kissinger, pressed for the deletion of a few passages, particularly in Chapter 20 on "BCCI and Kissinger Associates." As a result, the final hardcopy version of the report, as published by the Government Printing Office, differs slightly from the Committee's softcopy version presented below. - Steven Aftergood Federation of American Scientists This report was originally made available on the website of the Federation of American Scientists.

  • An End Run Around the First Amendment: „Libel Tourists‟ Take Aim Overseas
    An End Run Around the First Amendment: „Libel Tourists‟ Take Aim Overseas By Ryan Feeney 2008 Pulliam Kilgore Intern Bruce W. Sanford Bruce D. Brown Laurie A. Babinski BAKER & HOSTETLER LLP Washington, D.C. Counsel to the Society of Professional Journalists September 2008 In the throes of the American Civil Rights movement as Southern blacks flexed their political might against segregation, a city commissioner in Alabama sued the country‟s most prominent newspaper, The New York Times. L.B. Sullivan‟s libel suit sought to silence the implication of his critics that he was part of a racist Southern oligarchy responsible for the violent suppression of black protests in Montgomery. It failed, and an uniquely American brand of free speech was born. In deciding that landmark free-speech case, New York Times v. Sullivan, 1 the U.S. Supreme Court noted how libel suits such as Sullivan‟s threatened “the very existence of an American press virile enough to publish unpopular views on public affairs.” Throughout modern American history, linking a person to an unpopular group has often led to a rash of libel suits against the press. It happened with communism in the 1940s, organized crime in the 1970s, and homosexuality in the 1980s under the stigmatizing glare of the AIDS epidemic. Yet in the more than four decades since the New York Times decision, American libel plaintiffs have found it acutely difficult to muzzle the press. But these free speech protections apply only on American soil, which means they cannot be used against the latest wave of libel litigants who bring suits overseas – foreigners accused of terrorism ties.

  • Trends in Space Commerce
    Foreword from the Secretary of Commerce As the United States seeks opportunities to expand our economy, commercial use of space resources continues to increase in importance. The use of space as a platform for increasing the benefits of our technological evolution continues to increase in a way that profoundly affects us all. Whether we use these resources to synchronize communications networks, to improve agriculture through precision farming assisted by imagery and positioning data from satellites, or to receive entertainment from direct-to-home satellite transmissions, commercial space is an increasingly large and important part of our economy and our information infrastructure. Once dominated by government investment, commercial interests play an increasing role in the space industry. As the voice of industry within the U.S. Government, the Department of Commerce plays a critical role in commercial space. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Commerce licenses the operation of commercial remote sensing satellites. Through the International Trade Administration, the Department of Commerce seeks to improve U.S. industrial exports in the global space market. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Commerce assists in the coordination of the radio spectrum used by satellites. And, through the Technology Administration's Office of Space Commercialization, the Department of Commerce plays a central role in the management of the Global Positioning System and advocates the views of industry within U.S. Government policy making processes. I am pleased to commend for your review the Office of Space Commercialization's most recent publication, Trends in Space Commerce. The report presents a snapshot of U.S.

  • Pakistan Aviation Management By
    1 Ph.D. Thesis COST EFFECTIVE LOW COST CARRIER (LCC) PAKISTAN AVIATION MANAGEMENT BY UNIFIED AIRCRAFT POLICY Dewan Abdullah Farooqui Department of Business Administration, Research Scholar, Greenwich University Karachi Contact: [email protected] Mobile: +92300-8225651 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Hiro Takahashi at Greenwich University 2 Abstract The study conducted for this thesis analyzes the aviation industry from the global perspective in general and from the Pakistan perspective in particular. The initial part of the research comprises of the in-depth study and the historical analysis of the global aviation scenario i.e. how the aviation industry has become a major and fastest source of transportation globally since the inception of regular air services in the earlier 20th century till to-date. Later part of this research focuses on the cost effective Low Cost Carrier (LCC) aviation model in Pakistan. To achieve the cost saving management, unified aircraft operation policy was proposed. To select right aircraft for Pakistan’s domestic and regional markets, multiple evaluation factors were considered for better matching of physical requirements. The unified aircraft fleet is a biggest factor to reduce the total operating cost. Moreover, the research on cost effective management by employing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) LCC based aviation business in Pakistan was also undertaken. An elaborated analysis of the operations and functioning of ERP in LCCs’ different business divisions with real-life analysis was conducted. It was concluded that ERP modified for unified aircraft policy will give the significant improvements of the value of operation compared to the Traditional Management, General ERP, and combination of both of them.
