The importance of UNFICYP has been emphasized time and again by the Security Council, and the stationing of the Force in the island has been repeatedly extended by it. In its resolution 443 (1978) l-/ of 14 December 1978, the Council, noting my report of 1 December, decided to extend the stationing of the Force in Cyp~rus for a further period ending 15 June 1979 and requested me to continue my mission of good offices. I have reported to the Council that the continued presence of UNFICYP remains indispensable and that, in helping to maintain calm in the island, LWFICYP also facilitates the continued search for d peaceful settlement. In pursuance of the mission of good offices entrusted to me by the Security Council, I visited Nicosia on 18 and 19 May for the high-level meeting in the course of vhich a ten-point agreement for the resumption of the intercommunal talks was worked out by the leaders of the two communities, under my personal auspices.

  • An Ambitious New Plan Offers Delta Water and Economic Hope for the San Joaquin Valley
    August 12, 2020 Western Edition Volume 2, Number 30 An ambitious new plan offers Delta water and economic hope for the San Joaquin valley The San Joaquin Valley is bracing for the economic impacts to come from implementing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act over the next 20 years. Without changes, the regulation could lead to more than a million acres of fallowing and as much as $7 billion in lost revenues every year, with the worst financial impacts rippling down to California’s most disadvantaged communities, according to a report released earlier this year. With this reality, a coalition has emerged around a complex and ambitious approach to bring water to the valley, one that could head off the A new plan takes a different approach to Delta water flows.

As a former IOP Director (1995-1998), I jumped at the chance to return to such a special place at an important time. This summer, IOP Director Dan Glickman, Harvard students, and IOP staff went into high gear to mobilize, inspire, and engage young people in politics and the electoral process. • We hosted events for political powerbrokers during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. • We are working to ensure all Harvard voices are heard at the polls through our dynamic and effective H-VOTE campus vote pro- gram, as well as coordinating the voter education and mobilization activities of nearly 20 other schools across America, part of our National Campaign for Political and Civic Engagement. • Our Resident Fellows this semester are an impressive group.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

  • B-208513 [Reimbursement for Use of Noncertificated Air Carrier]
    THE COMPTROLLER QENERAL DEClSlON OF TH@UNITED STATIS WASHlN6TON. 0.G. 20848 FILE: B-208513 DATE: Hatch 28, 1983 MATTER OF: Mr. John King, Jr. - Reimbursement for Use of Non-certificatsd Air Carrier .. ~ DIGEST: Under guidelines issued by the Comptroller General, reasons for use of foreign air carrier must be properly certified. Comp- troller General decisions contain guide- lines regarding the adequacy of reasons for utilizing a foreign carrier. The Joint Travel Regulations require a determination of unavailability by the transportation or other appropriate officer and the require- ments contained therein are in keeping with the Comptroller General's guidelines and reimbursement is not authorized absent compliance. This action is in response to a request for a decision from R. G. Bordley, Chief, Accounting and Finance Division, Office of the Comptroller, Defense Logistics Agency, concerning a claim for reimbursement by an employee for airfare paid for travel by foreign air carrier from New York City to Hamburg, Germany, during June 1979. The request, forwarded by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee, has been assigned PDTATAC Control No. 82-18. On the basis of the documentation presented for decision we conclude that the employee may not be reimbursed. The record shows that John King, Jr. was directed to report for duty in Nuernberg, Germany, on June 28, 1979. Immediately upon receiving his orders on June 16, 1979, he went to the local Transportation Office at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, to deter- mine the mode of travel. Mr. King was informed that military transportation would be unavailable on such short notice and that he would have to make his own travel arrangements.

  • Mike Pompeo - Sourcewatch
    10/22/2020 Mike Pompeo - SourceWatch Mike Pompeo Michael Richard Pompeo was nominated for U.S. Secretary of State by President Donald Trump on March 13, 2018, after Trump fired former Exxon executive Rex Tillerson. Previously, Pompeo was the director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and former Representative of Kansas's 4th Congressional District, where the global headquarters of Koch Industries is located. While serving as a Congressman, the Huffington Post described the Tea Party Republican as "the Koch brothers' point man in the House."[1] Koch Industries and its employees Follow the money in the Koch wiki was Pompeo's largest contributor in each of his campaigns. (http://www.kochexposed.org). Pompeo was tapped by President Donald Trump to be the Director of the CIA on November 18, 2016. He was confirmed by the Senate 66-32 on January 23, 2017 and sworn in that night.[2] Pompeo's first company, Thayer, was an investment company funded in part by Koch Venture Capital. Pompeo’s second company, Sentry, was tied to a Brazilian division of Koch Industries. Pompeo’s financial history and ties to the billionaire Koch brothers have not been fully publicly vetted because he has only faced one significant but limited electoral challenge. Born in 1963, Pompeo grew up in Orange County, California, heavily influenced by Ayn Rand. He was recommended for the U.S. Military Academy by his Mike Pompeo Congressman, “B-1 Bob” Dornan. In 1986, Pompeo studied mechanical engineering and graduated first in his class at West Point. He served five years on active duty, the minimum required by military academies, primarily in Germany, earning the rank of Captain.

Riley III A Dissertation Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Political Science Oxford, Mississippi August 2014 Copyright © 2014 by Emmitt Y. Riley III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Scholars examining black political representation have focused on the degree to which African American politicians can impact the everyday living conditions of African Americans. Despite years of African American political representation within the United States House of Representatives, political scientists have devoted very little scholarship to examining how whites react to African American leadership. Given that African Americans remain under represented in government and current legal challenges threaten the future of minority majority districts, it is important to gain better insight into how black representation might impact the white community.
