Gregg Files (Vice President Bush Meetings with Americans) Extent 482 folders. Access Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Bush Presidential Records, Bush Vice Presidential Records, and Quayle Vice Presidential Records is governed by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)(5 USC 552 as amended) and the Presidential Records Act (PRA)(44 USC 22) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in accordance with legal exemptions. Copyright Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, USC) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Provenance Official records of George Bush’s presidency and vice presidency are housed at the George Bush Presidential Library and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of the Presidential Records Act (PRA). Processed By Staff Archivists, September 2013. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released. System of Arrangement Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in one collection area—Bush Vice Presidential Records: Staff and Office Files. Staff and Office Files are processed at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area. 1 2013-1212-S Scope and Content The materials in FOIA 2013-1212-S are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. FOIA 2013-1212-S contains routine records related to Vice President Bush’s meetings with Americans, which are primarily administrative in nature and relate mostly to meetings with U.S. ambassadors seeking photo opportunities or general meetings of a mundane manner with the Vice President prior to assuming their posts. Also included are talking points, speeches, remarks, etc. for meetings with private interest groups such as the Polish-American Congress and the unclassified, publicly released version of a report by The Vice President’s Task Force on Combating Terrorism. The following is a list of documents and folders processed in response to FOIA 2013-1212-S.

    Narrator: Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D. Date of interview: 19 February 2013 Location: Vessey residence, North Oaks, MN Transcribed by: Linda Gerber, May 2013 Edited for clarity by: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D., September 2013 and February 2014 (00:00:00) = elapsed time on digital recording TS: Today is Tuesday, 19 February 2013. This is another of our ongoing interview cycle with General John W. Vessey, Jr. My name is Thomas Saylor. Today we’re at the Vessey residence in North Oaks, Minnesota, on a bright, clear and very cold winter day. General Vessey, we wanted at first to add some additional information and perspective on Lebanon, going back to 1983. I’ll let you put the conversation in motion here. JV: After we talked last week I got to thinking that we hadn’t really explained as fully as we might have the confusion and the multiple points of view that existed both in the United States and in the world in general about Lebanon and our involvement. I’m not sure that what I remembered after you left will add any clarity to (chuckles) your reader’s understanding, but at least they’ll understand the muddled picture that I was looking at, at the time. TS: And that’s important, because even in the contemporary news accounts of the time there is a sense of confusion and wondering really what the Americans are trying to accomplish, as well as the fact that the Americans aren’t the only Western force even in Lebanon at the time.

  • The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990

    The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990

    The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990 Submitted by René Rieger to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics in June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………… ………… 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the foreign policies of the Arab Gulf monarchies during the period of 1971 to 1990, as examined through two case studies: (1) the Arab Gulf monarchies’ relations with Iran and Iraq and (2) the six states’ positions in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The dissertation argues that, in formulating their policies towards Iran and Iraq, the Arab Gulf monarchies aspired to realize four main objectives: external security and territorial integrity; domestic and regime stability; economic prosperity; and the attainment of a stable subregional balance of power without the emergence of Iran or Iraq as Gulf hegemon. Over the largest part of the period under review, the Arab Gulf monarchies managed to offset threats to these basic interests emanating from Iran and Iraq by alternately appeasing and balancing the source of the threat. The analysis reveals that the Arab Gulf monarchies’ individual bilateral relations with Iran and Iraq underwent considerable change over time and, particularly following the Iranian Revolution, displayed significant differences in comparison to one another.

  • After the Accords Anwar Sadat

    After the Accords Anwar Sadat

    WMHSMUN XXXIV After the Accords: Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Welcome to WMHSMUN XXXIV! My name is Hank Hermens and I am excited to be the in-room Director for Anwar Sadat’s Cabinet. I’m a junior at the College double majoring in International Relations and History. I have done model UN since my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have become increasingly involved. I compete as part of W&M’s travel team, staff our conferences, and have served as the Director of Media for our college level conference, &MUN. Right now, I’m a member of our Conference Team, planning travel and training delegates. Outside of MUN, I play trumpet in the Wind Ensemble, do research with AidData and for a professor, looking at the influence of Islamic institutions on electoral outcomes in Tunisia. In my admittedly limited free time, I enjoy reading, running, and hanging out with my friends around campus. As members of Anwar Sadat’s cabinet, you’ll have to deal with the fallout of Egypt’s recent peace with Israel, in Egypt, the greater Middle East and North Africa, and the world. You’ll also meet economic challenges, rising national political tensions, and more. Some of the problems you come up against will be easily solved, with only short-term solutions necessary. Others will require complex, long term solutions, or risk the possibility of further crises arising. No matter what, we will favor creative, outside-the-box ideas as well as collaboration and diplomacy.

    Inconsistent U.S. Representation in Saudi Arabia: a Continuing Problem | the Washington Institute

    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 789 Inconsistent U.S. Representation in Saudi Arabia: A Continuing Problem by Simon Henderson Oct 2, 2003 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Simon Henderson Simon Henderson is the Baker fellow and director of the Bernstein Program on Gulf and Energy Policy at The Washington Institute, specializing in energy matters and the conservative Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Brief Analysis he surprise announcement that Robert Jordan, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, will leave his post by mid- T October means that Washington will lack an authoritative voice in the kingdom at a crucial time in the war on terror. One State Department official has claimed that Jordan's resignation was for personal reasons and that "Saudi Arabia holds him in the highest regard." Yet, other reports suggest that Jordan's public and semipublic criticisms of the kingdom have annoyed Riyadh. Controversial Remarks In the months since May 12, 2003, when ten Americans were killed in attacks against three expatriate residential compounds in Riyadh, several of Ambassador Jordan's comments have created a stir. Analysts are accustomed to U.S. officials employing a cautious and laudatory approach when publicly describing relations with Saudi Arabia. Hence, many were astonished when, during an interview with CBS News soon after the Riyadh attacks, Jordan stated that Washington's previous requests for increased security at the compounds had been ignored. He made similar comments to the New York Times a day later, this time singling out Crown Prince Abdullah and Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal for praise. By implication, Jordan was pointing the blame in the direction of Interior Minister Prince Nayef, who is in charge of internal security and has a reputation for being difficult.
