Medical Unit COVID-19 Concept of Operations Plan, Emergency Medical Committee
From the Introduction: "As a response agency, the wildland fire community needs to be ready and prepared to adjust operations to meet the complexities of fighting wildland fires in a COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic environment. While this document provides the Medical Unit Leader (MEDL), Command and General Staff (C&G), and other wildland fire planners broad-based COVID-19 medical guidelines, preparations, and response should be managed to the unique characteristic each fire presents. Due to the potential serious operational impacts COVID-19 could have on the 2020 fire season, the Fire Management Board (FMB) established the Medical and Public Health Advisory Team (MPHAT) to serve as the interagency body responsible for providing consistent review and recommendations for all wildland fire COVID-19 planning material. This document was reviewed by the MPHAT and guides the wildland fire medical posture and COVID19. It is important to note that one solution or guideline may not apply to all situations. It is impossible to establish one set of protocols/procedures that work for every single jurisdiction. However, clear national guidance is required to decrease the risk of serious impacts to fire operations due to COVID-19 infections."

COVID-19-Related Suspension of Nonimmigrant Entry [Updated June 29, 2020]
From the Document: "On June 22, President Trump issued a proclamation (amended on June 29) suspending the entry of foreign nationals (aliens) in certain nonimmigrant (temporary) visa categories that allow foreign nationals to work in the United States. Citing the high unemployment rate resulting from public health measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], the proclamation suspends the entry of foreign nationals--and their accompanying family members--on H-1B, H-2B, J, and L visas, with some exceptions. [...] The proclamation suspending the entry of foreign nationals in certain nonimmigrant visa categories remains in effect from June 24, 2020, through December 31, 2020, with the possibility of continuation thereafter. Beginning 30 days after the effective date, and every 60 days thereafter, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretaries of Labor and State, may recommend changes to it."

COVID-19: Opportunities to Improve Federal Response and Recovery Efforts, Statement of Gene L. Dodaro, Comptroller General of the United States, Testimony Before the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, House of Representatives
From the GAO [Government Accountability Office] Highlights: "The outbreak of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] quickly spread around the globe. As of June 17, 2020, the United States had over 2 million reported cases of COVID-19, and over 100,000 reported deaths, according to federal agencies. Parts of the nation have seen severely strained health care systems. The country has also experienced a significant and rapid downturn in the economy. Four relief laws, including the CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act, were enacted as of June 2020 to provide appropriations to address the public health and economic threats posed by COVID-19. In addition, the administration created the White House Coronavirus Task Force. [...] [T]his testimony focuses on key actions the federal government has taken to address the COVID-19 pandemic, GAO recommendations for improvement, and evolving lessons learned relevant to the nation's response to pandemics, among other things. GAO reviewed data and documents from federal agencies about their activities and interviewed federal and state officials as well as industry representatives. GAO also reviewed available economic, health, and budgetary data."

COVID-19 Health Care Provider Relief Fund [June 26, 2020]
From the Document: "In response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, some health care providers limited in-person visits and cancelled elective procedures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, prepare for COVID-19 patients, and conserve personal protective equipment. As a consequence, some providers reported forgone revenue and/or significant financial challenges, making it difficult to sustain services. To address these concerns, Congress established the Provider Relief Fund (PRF, or the Fund) in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136) and appropriated $100 billion 'to reimburse, through grants or other mechanisms, eligible health care providers for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus.' The Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (PPPHCEA, P.L. 116-139) added an additional $75 billion to the Fund."

Form the Document: "Amid the ongoing COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, several states have developed and promoted contact-tracing mobile device apps to identify individuals who may have had contact with infected persons. Additionally, the two largest manufacturers of mobile device operating systems, Apple (iOS) and Google (Android), have announced plans to release application programming interfaces (APIs) to 'enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities.' Several bills in the 116th Congress would regulate the privacy of information collected through such contact-tracing apps."

Global Democracy and Human Rights Impacts of COVID-19: In Brief [June 26, 2020]
From the Introduction: "As governments worldwide administer lockdowns, travel limitations, and other restrictions to respond to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some experts have warned of a 'parallel epidemic' of government repression. Proponents of this view maintain that some governments are using the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretext to consolidate political power undemocratically or impose undue restrictions on the exercise of civil and political rights. Meanwhile, even when restrictions may be justified on the basis of public health, the manner of application and enforcement of these measures may raise human rights concerns in some cases. Some Members of Congress have expressed alarm over the implications of COVID-19 for democracy and human rights trends, as evidenced by statements and legislation introduced to date. At the same time, COVID-19's ramifications in this area are diverse and evolving. This In Brief report discusses key democracy and human rights concerns raised by experts and advocates, includes brief country case studies, and discusses potential congressional policy responses. Although some issues discussed herein may be relevant to domestic debates in the United States, this report focuses on democracy and human rights issues internationally and in relation to U.S. foreign policy."

EU-Japan FTA: Implications for U.S. Trade Policy [Updated June 26, 2020]
From the Overview: "In July 2018, the European Union (EU) and Japan signed a free trade agreement (FTA) after 18 rounds of talks starting in 2013. The deal entered into force in February 2019. The EU and Japan account for about 40% of global trade and 30% of global GDP [gross domestic product]. Japanese and EU officials respectively touted the FTA as the 'world's largest, free, industrialized economic zone' and 'most important bilateral trade agreement ever concluded by the EU.' Then EU Trade Commissioner Cecelia Malmström framed it in strategic terms as a 'powerful signal' to the world that Japan and the EU stand together 'to defend free and fair and sustainable trade in a climate where that is not taken for granted.'"

Health Insurance Continuation Coverage Under COBRA [Updated June 26, 2020]
From the Summary: "This report provides a simplified explanation of who qualifies for COBRA [Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985] continuation coverage, the nature of COBRA continuation coverage, and corresponding employer and employee responsibilities. It also incorporates descriptions of the temporary relief that was provided on May 4, 2020, by the Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (as it pertains to COBRA continuation coverage). This relief extends various COBRA time frames and was intended to help minimize the possibility that individuals would lose health insurance because they failed to comply with certain COBRA time frames during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Federal Workforce: Key Considerations for Agencies Returning Employees to Workplaces During Pandemics, Statement of J. Christopher Mihm, Managing Director, Strategic Issues, Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Government Operations, Committee on Oversight and Reform, House of Representatives
From the Document: "Federal employees perform critical functions across multiple mission areas, from those vital to the long-term well-being of the country to those directly charged with aspects of public safety. Major emergencies, such as the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, can pose threats to employees' safety and conditions may ebb and flow over an extended period. During these situations, federal agencies have a responsibility to provide an environment for employees to perform their jobs safely and effectively. This statement provides (1) key considerations based on GAO's [Government Accountability Office] prior work for federal agencies as federal workers reenter the workplace; (2) an illustrative example of how the Census Bureau was forced to suspend major Decennial Census field operations and the process it used to resume operations; and (3) key practices for ensuring telework contributes to continuity of operations. This statement is based on a large body of GAO work on pandemic preparedness, reviews of the Decennial Census, and federal human capital management issued from July 2003 through June 2020."

State and Local Fiscal Conditions and COVID-19: Lessons from the Great Recession and Current Projections [Updated June 25, 2020]
From the Document: "Federal assistance to state and local governments has been a central part of the fiscal policy discussion surrounding the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. Economic downturns tend to depress the tax bases of federal, state, and local governments, and may also increase demands for certain spending programs. Unlike at the federal level, however, most states and localities have statutory requirements to balance their budgets every one or two years. Absent other measures, these balanced budget requirements can necessitate tax rate increases or spending cuts that could exacerbate economic distress."

Development and Regulation of Medical Countermeasures for COVID-19 (Vaccines, Diagnostics, and Treatments): Frequently Asked Questions [June 25, 2020]
From the Summary: "In recent months, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread globally, with the United States now reporting the highest number of cases of any country in the world. Currently, there are few treatment options available to lessen the health impact of the disease and no vaccines or other prophylactic treatments to curb the spread of the virus. [...] This report answers frequently asked questions about current efforts related to research and development of medical countermeasures, their regulation, and related policy issues. Although several efforts are underway, medical product research, development, and approval is a difficult and high-risk endeavor that takes years in typical circumstances. In response to COVID-19, this process has been expedited, including through several federal programs and mechanisms covered in this report. However, expedited medical product development can carry certain risks, such as a more limited safety profile for new products upon approval."

Employment Tax Incentives to Promote Recovery from the COVID-19 Recession: Policy Options [June 25, 2020]
From the Document: "Some Members of Congress and the Trump Administration have shown interest in additional tax benefits to encourage employee retention or hiring as a response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) recession. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136), signed into law on March 27, 2020, created an employee retention tax credit equal to 50% of qualified wages paid by eligible employers to qualifying employees between March 12, 2020, and December 31, 2020. This refundable payroll tax credit can be claimed for up to $10,000 in wages, making the maximum credit per employee $5,000. The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act (H.R. 6800), as passed in the House on May 15, 2020, would increase the amount of the credit. Employer tax relief is one option for supporting employment and promoting economic recovery from the COVID-19 recession. This Insight highlights some considerations that may inform the policy debate regarding this approach, and examines the federal government's past experience with hiring tax incentives."

Federal Housing Policy Responses to COVID-19 [Updated June 25, 2020]
From the Document: "The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] global pandemic and resulting economic recession presents many housing challenges, ranging from public health concerns about large populations of unsheltered homeless individuals to the impact of rising unemployment on housing stability. Housing in the United States is primarily a private market function regulated at the state and local level, and states and local governments have implemented a variety of housing policy responses to the pandemic. However, there has been demand for federal action to supplement and support those efforts. In response, the federal government increased its funding for housing programs and made policy changes to protect renters and homeowners and support other housing market participants. In addition to housing-specific interventions, policies such as one-time relief payments to individuals, federal increases to Unemployment Insurance (UI), and some fiscal relief to states and localities may be used directly or indirectly for housing needs."

Afghanistan: Background and U.S. Policy: In Brief [Updated June 25, 2020]
From the Summary: "Afghanistan was elevated as a significant U.S. foreign policy concern in 2001, when the United States, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, led a military campaign against Al Qaeda and the Taliban government that harbored and supported it. In the intervening 18 years, the United States has suffered around 2,400 military fatalities in Afghanistan (including four in combat in 2020 to date) and Congress has appropriated approximately $137 billion for reconstruction there.In that time, an elected Afghan government has replaced the Taliban, and most measures of human development have improved, although future prospects of those measures remain mixed. The fundamental objective of U.S. efforts in Afghanistan is 'preventing any further attacks on the United States by terrorists enjoying safe haven or support in Afghanistan,' according to the State Department's Integrated Country Strategy."

Comparing Police Reform Bills: The Justice in Policing Act and the JUSTICE Act [Updated June 25, 2020]
From the Document: "On May 25, 2020, George Floyd died in the custody of the Minneapolis police after an officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck while restraining him. That incident, others like it, and subsequent nationwide protests have sparked heightened interest in the federal government's ability to prevent and remedy police misconduct, especially the use of excessive force against people of color. The events of May and June 2020 have prompted action by the Executive Branch and legislative proposals in both houses of Congress. On June 16, 2020, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe Communities. On June 8, 2020, Members of the House of Representatives, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, introduced the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020 (Justice in Policing Act), and on June 17, 2020, Senate Republicans unveiled the Just and Unifying Solutions To Invigorate Communities Everywhere Act of 2020 (JUSTICE Act).

Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress [Updated June 24, 2020]
From the Summary: "Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy's ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. On July 13, 2012, the Navy submitted to Congress a 73-page report on the Navy's policies and practices for naming ships."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: CBO's Estimate of the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Effects of H.R. 7120, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, as Reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 19, 2020
This is the Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate as reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 19, 2020. From the Document: "H.R. 7120 would make several changes to legal standards concerning the conduct of law enforcement that would increase the number of criminal cases litigated in federal courts. Entities that violate the bill's provisions could be subject to criminal fines, which are recorded in the budget as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent without further appropriation. Using information from the Department of Justice (DOJ), CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enactment would increase revenues and the associated direct spending. Those increases would be insignificant in every year and would total about $1 million for both revenues and direct spending over the 2020-2030 period."
