The Ohio Defense & Aerospace Forum THE OHIO DEFENSE & AEROSPACE FORUM - 2 0 2 0 - WITH SPECIAIL GUEST U . S . CONGRESSEMAN MICHAEL TURNER HOSTED BY Welcome To the Panelists and Participants at the 2020 Ohio Defense Forum: Thank you for attending the fifth annual Ohio Defense and Aerospace Forum. Ohio is important to our national defense, and today’s virtual event focuses on Ohio’s continual growing contributions to national security. We are excited and pleased that we are joined by all corners of our state. Four years ago, along with the DDC, I created the Ohio Defense Forum to discuss the future of defense in the state. In the time since our first forum, threats to our national security have grown in number and in force. Adversarial countries like Russia, China, and North Korea continue to develop weapons and tactics that threaten the safety of American troops and civilians. Ohio is home to 10 military installations, so the state plays an important role in mitigating these threats. I look forward to discussing how we, as defense leaders, can optimize Ohio’s ability to support the national defense through research, technology, intelligence and industry. Thank you to the Dayton Development Coalition for hosting this event again. Additionally, I would like to thank all the panelists and participants for contributing to Ohio’s ongoing commitment a common defense strategy. Sincerely, Congressman Michael R.

  • House Committee on Ethics: a Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction
    House Committee on Ethics: A Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction Updated March 22, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 98-15 House Committee on Ethics: A Brief History of Its Evolution and Jurisdiction Summary The United States Constitution (Article 1, Section 5, clause 1) provides each House of Congress with the sole authority to establish rules, judge membership requirements, and punish and expel Members. From 1789 to 1967, the House of Representatives dealt with disciplinary action against Members on a case-by-case basis, often forming ad-hoc committees to investigate and make recommendations when acts of wrongdoing were brought to the chamber’s attention. Events of the 1960s, including the investigation of Representative Adam Clayton Powell for alleged misuse of Education and Labor Committee funds, prompted the creation of a permanent ethics committee and the writing of a Code of Conduct for Members, officers, and staff of the House. Begun as a select committee in the 89th Congress (1965-1966), the House created a 12-member panel to “recommend to the House … such … rules or regulations … necessary or desirable to insure proper standards of conduct by Members of the House and by officers and employees of the House, in the performance of their duties and the discharge of their responsibilities.” Acting on the select committee’s recommendations, the House created a permanent Committee on Standards of Official Conduct in the 90th Congress (1967-1968). In the 112th Congress (2011- 2012), the committee was renamed the Committee on Ethics. This report briefly outlines the background of ethics enforcement in the House of Representatives, including the creation of both the Select Committee on Ethics and the Committee on Ethics.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, D.C
    Congress of the United States Washington, D.C. 20515 May 12, 2021 The Honorable Janet L. Yellen Secretary U.S. Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C., 20429 Dear Secretary Yellen: We write to request that the Treasury Department urgently provide additional guidance in support of Ohio townships. As we have previously written, the final passed version of the American Rescue Plan Act (Public Law No: 117-2) does not clearly state that townships are eligible for funding under the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund due to the definition of “non-entitlement unit of local government.” On May 10, 2021, the Treasury Department released long awaited interim rules on the use and eligibility of funding under P.L. 117-2. Unfortunately, the interim rules did not clarify the eligibility of townships to receive this funding, and instead states that “Treasury plans to provide further guidance on distributions to non-entitlement units in the coming days.” As you work on these final rules on the distribution to non-entitlement units of government, we ask that you make explicit that Ohio townships are eligible. Ohio townships provide critical services to their communities similar to that of cities, including police and fire protection, maintenance of roads, emergency medical services, solid waste disposal and zoning. The intent of the legislation was to provide assistance to local governments in the wake of the pandemic, and further guidance should reflect Congressional intent by deeming townships eligible. We thank you for your attention to this critical issue that disproportionately impacts local governments throughout the state of Ohio.

  • Ohio Air National Guard Base on Short List for New Cyber Mission
    Nov. 21, 2020 Log# 20-30 For Immediate Release Ohio Air National Guard base on short list for new cyber mission COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Air National Guard’s 179th Airlift Wing at Mansfield-Lahm Airport in Mansfield, Ohio, is one of two sites selected as possible locations for a new mission. The U.S. Department of Defense notified Gov. Mike DeWine on Nov. 20, 2020, that the U.S. Air Force had selected Mansfield as a candidate location to host an Air National Guard Information Warfare (Cyber) Wing (IWW). “This is exciting news,” said Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., Ohio adjutant general and commander of the Ohio National Guard. “This potential new mission for the men and women of the Ohio Air National Guard would bring in-demand cybersecurity positions to the area. It would position us in the middle of the military’s cutting edge cyber capability and the fight against emerging cyber threats.” The Mansfield site is one of two being considered for the IWW, with the other being Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota. The Air Force is expected to conduct site surveys at each of the two locations. The mission is planned to begin transitioning in 2022. The 179th currently flies the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft on missions across the United States and around the world. In addition, the unit participates in disaster relief efforts and other domestic emergencies as required. There are approximately 900 members at the wing. -30- FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Stephanie Beougher, public information officer, at 614-506-3490 or [email protected].
