DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. WILLIAM A. DALEY, SECRETARY ACCOMPANIED BY: LINDA J. BILMES, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR ADMINISTRATION DEBORAH K. KILMER, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR LEGISLATIVE AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS ELLEN BLOOM, DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF BARBARA RETZLAFF, DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF BUDGET Senator GREGG. We will begin the hearing of the Commerce, Jus- tice, and State Subcommittee. I understand Senator Hollings will be coming a little later. We are honored to have the Secretary of Commerce with us. Mr. Secretary, rather than our taking your time with opening statements, please proceed with your statement. OVERVIEW OF SECRETARY DALEY’S STATEMENT Secretary DALEY. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Let me say that I am very pleased to be here to present our Com- merce Department’s budget for the new fiscal year, and let me first thank you, Mr. Chairman, and the members of the subcommittee and all of your hardworking staffs for the support and counsel which you have all given us over the last 3 years. This will be our last visit together, so I look forward to working with the sub- committee, obviously, to make this one of the best ever. As you know, we are in the longest economic expansion in our Nation’s history. As a result, we are in an era of unprecedented budget surpluses. Obviously, our goal is to try to continue this for (1) 2 many years to come, and we are requesting a budget that covers our everyday chores, from taking the Census to advancing U.S. trade and protecting our marine resources. But we are also requesting $875 million in new strategic invest- ments that will help us do our jobs better and at the same time prepare us for the future. These investments are not only con- sistent with President Clinton’s priorities, but in my opinion, they reflect many of the priorities of you in Congress. All told, our budget calls for $5 billion next year, which is down 37 percent from last year’s $8.5 billion, but of course, the decline is because the bulk of the work of Census 2000 will be done in the current fiscal year. I might add that we are on track for completing the Census on time. To complete the work, we are requesting $393 million in fiscal year 2001 for the processing and distributing of the data and also for closing down the hundreds of local Census offices. To be honest, we have prided ourselves in this Department for keeping the lid on our budget, and aside from the Census, our core budget has re- mained fairly constant at about $4 billion for the last few years. But the time has come to invest in the future so we can continue delivering high-quality services to the American people. In my opinion, this is a very prudent budget that, despite the increases, will pay dividends in the long run. I would like to briefly highlight some of our proposals. E-commerce is the growth engine of the future. We have never seen anything like it before. But this revolution is definitely not without challenges. All of us got a wake-up call a few weeks ago that showed how vulnerable the Internet can be to cyber attacks. Obviously, it is smart business to make sure we have tighter secu- rity so we can maintain public confidence in the Internet. So we are proposing $76 million to work on this problem. To fully exploit the Internet’s potential, everyone needs to be plugged into the revolution, so we are seeking $175 million to help narrow the digital divide and also help promote e-commerce. This money would be used to increase computer use in the home, to tri- ple NTIA’s Technology Opportunities Program, and also to install high-speed Internet technology in rural communities and in the very distressed urban areas. As we all know, accurate measurement of the economy is an ab- solutely vital Government function, so we are seeking $29 million for tracking e-commerce growth and for enhancing our statistical infrastructure. We also want $54 million to promote economic development in our Native American communities; $28 million for minority-serving institutions to help them educate more scientists and engineers; and $10 million as part of a Government-wide effort to revitalize communities throughout the Mississippi Delta. For NOAA, which makes up the lion’s share of our budget, we are requesting nearly $2.8 billion. This includes $376 million in new money for protecting our environment. Much of this supports the President’s Land Legacy Initiative, which is one of the greatest efforts to save natural resources since Teddy Roosevelt was Presi- dent. So we are asking for resources to set up a new Cultural Im- pact Assistance Fund and increase the grants in our Coastal Zone 3 Management Program. We are also requesting $60 million so we can honor our commitment to the 1999 Pacific Salmon Agreement. Predicting the weather and maintaining the largest non-military fleet of satellites in the world are our key priorities, so we are re- questing increases in those areas. This will once again be another banner year for trade. We are requesting $72 million for these programs.

  • Why Washingtonâ•Žs Deadly Weapon Criminal Sentencing Enhancement
    COMMENTS Dead Wrong: Why Washington’s Deadly Weapon Criminal Sentencing Enhancement Needs “Enhancement” James Harlan Corning* “Let it be said that I am right rather than consistent.”1 – Justice John Marshall Harlan I. INTRODUCTION The early 1990s saw a sharp increase in gun violence directed to- ward Washington’s law enforcement community.2 In the summer of 1994, the Puget Sound region was stunned by three separate, unrelated acts of violence against police officers and their families. On June 4th of that year, Seattle Police Detective Antonio Terry was gunned down on * J.D. Candidate, Seattle University School of Law, 2012; B.A., Social Sciences, University of Washington. I am profoundly grateful to Professor Laurel Oates, who inspired this Comment through a fascinating legal-writing assignment in my first semester of law school and who has con- stantly encouraged, mentored, and advised me during my law school journey. I am deeply indebted to the staff of the Seattle University Law Review for their support; in particular, I thank Mike Costel- lo, Joan Miller, Jacob Stender, Kyle Trethewey, and many others for giving so much time and effort to this piece. Lastly, I thank my incredible family and friends—and especially my wonderful fiancé, Eric Wolf—for their unwavering love, support, encouragement, and patience in all things. 1. Quoted in TINSLEY E.

    Nebraska Supreme Court Online Library www.nebraska.gov/apps-courts-epub/ 10/01/2021 08:06 PM CDT - 624 - Nebraska Court of Appeals Advance Sheets 29 Nebraska Appellate Reports STATE v. MORTON Cite as 29 Neb. App. 624 State of Nebraska, appellee, v. Natavian Q. Morton, appellant. ___ N.W.2d ___ Filed March 23, 2021. No. A-19-1168. 1. Pleas: Appeal and Error. A trial court is afforded discretion in deciding whether to accept guilty pleas, and an appellate court will reverse the trial court’s determination only in the case of an abuse of discretion. 2. Judges: Words and Phrases. A judicial abuse of discretion exists when the reasons or rulings of a trial judge are clearly untenable, unfairly depriving a litigant of a substantial right and denying just results in mat- ters submitted for disposition. 3. Sentences: Appeal and Error. An appellate court will not disturb a sen- tence imposed within the statutory limits absent an abuse of discretion by the trial court. 4. Effectiveness of Counsel: Appeal and Error. Whether a claim of inef- fective assistance of trial counsel may be determined on direct appeal is a question of law. 5. ____: ____. In reviewing claims of ineffective assistance of counsel on direct appeal, an appellate court decides only whether the undisputed facts contained within the record are sufficient to conclusively deter- mine whether counsel did or did not provide effective assistance and whether the defendant was or was not prejudiced by counsel’s alleged deficient performance. 6. Convictions: Weapons: Intent. Under Neb. Rev. Stat.

It calls for an exploration of the way in which these have often been uncritically accepted solely on the basis of notes and comments made by the original collectors. The difficulty is that the authority with which collectors were able to speak varied enormously, and even when the collectors obtained objects personally from the original owners, it cannot be assumed that they understood clearly the names, purposes or provenance of the objects they obtained.
