Regional Resilience Toolkit: 5 Steps to Build Large Scale Resilience to Natural Disasters
From the Introduction: "Cities, regions, and states across the country are facing natural disasters that can have devastating effects on life, property, the economy, and ecosystems. Climate change is already having observable effects on the environment, and past conditions are no longer a reliable indication of the type or extent of disasters communities will face in the future. As more and more communities face the effects of natural disasters, decision makers and community members need tools and guidance to help them take action that can both protect them from natural disasters while also creating great places to live, work, and play. This Regional Resilience Toolkit provides: [1] A coordinated process for meeting many different state and federal planning requirements. [2] Communication and outreach guidance and resources for engaging a broad coalition of stakeholders across a region. [3] Guidance for project teams who are conducting vulnerability assessments, writing required plans, and implementing projects. [4] Clear information and tools that can be used with an advisory group and to bring in decision makers and community leaders to guide the overall action plan and ensure its successful implementation. [5] Detailed appendices with worksheets to help inform and guide work, as well as additional information and resources for each step."

International Expert Engagement and Analysis of Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Evaluations, Final Report
From the Introduction:"In furtherance of its mission to conduct evidence-based research to inform policy recommendations, operational requirements, and public safety needs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has developed a countering violent extremism (CVE) framework (the Framework). This Framework will assist DHS S&T in developing a research agenda that seeks to save lives, reduce property losses, and enhance community resilience in the face of rapidly changing threats of extremist violence in the United States. The Framework recommends pursuing research in the following four areas: diverting individuals from radicalization, preventing individuals from carrying out attacks or locations from being targeted, mitigating the impact of extremist events, and developing community and individual resilience to violence inspired by extremism. Initial Framework research conducted for the Countering Violent Extremism - Developing a Research Roadmap project and the 5RD Workshop to Counter Violent Extremism suggested a need for increased evaluation of CVE programs across all four Framework research areas to properly understand how best to implement future programs and improve existing CVE programs."

Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment Series (CAUSE V) After Action Report
From the Executive Summary: "The Beyond the Border (BTB) Action Plan, released in 2011, outlined joint priorities and specific initiatives for cross-border collaboration between Canada and the United States (U.S.). This partnership is focused on enhancing the coordination of multi-agency emergency management (EM) responses during binational disasters. In order to enhance cross-border Emergency Manager (EM) capabilities, interoperability and situational awareness (SA), Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Centre for Security Science (CSS), Public Safety (PS) Canada and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) have collaborated to design the Canada-U.S. Enhanced (CAUSE) Resiliency experiment series. This series used a scenario-based approach to simulate the use of interoperable and emerging technologies during cross-border emergencies. In November 2017, the fifth experiment in the series, CAUSE V, took place in British Columbia (BC), Canada and the state of Washington (WA), U.S. This experiment provided an opportunity to test and explore a suite of emerging technologies and applications to support an interoperable cross-border response to simulated flooding and lahar flows. The objectives of this experiment were to test emerging technologies and the use of digital volunteers in supporting interoperable communications and information sharing between cross-border EM organizations."

Promoting Public Safety, Privacy, and the Rule of Law Around the World: The Purpose and Impact of the CLOUD Act
From the Introduction: "The United States enacted the CLOUD [Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data] Act to speed access to electronic information held by U.S.- based global providers that is critical to our foreign partners' investigations of serious crime, ranging from terrorism and violent crime to sexual exploitation of children and cybercrime. [...] The CLOUD Act is designed to permit our foreign partners that have robust protections for privacy and civil liberties to enter into executive agreements with the United States to obtain access to this electronic evidence, wherever it happens to be located, in order to fight serious crime and terrorism. The CLOUD Act thus represents a new paradigm: an efficient, privacy and civil liberties-protective approach to ensure effective access to electronic data that lies beyond a requesting country's reach due to the revolution in electronic communications, recent innovations in the way global technology companies configure their systems, and the legacy of 20th century legal frameworks. The CLOUD Act authorizes executive agreements between the United States and trusted foreign partners that will make both nations' citizens safer, while at the same time ensuring a high level of protection of those citizens' rights."

Is China Challenging the Global State of Democracy?
From the Abstract: "With its economic success, China seems to convey to the world that democracy is not a prerequisite for prosperity and social well-being. This paper seeks to explore whether and how the rise of authoritarian China may affect the state of democracy worldwide. It argues that at least for now, China may not intend to challenge the global state of democracy by actively blocking the expansion of democracy or promoting authoritarianism. However, China's growing global influence, along with its overseas activities in defending the Chinese Communist Party regime and seeking greater international status, have had a negative impact on liberal democracy."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 731, Anti-Border Corruption Improvement Act
From the Document: "Current law requires Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to administer polygraph examinations to nearly all applicants for law enforcement positions. S. 731 would broaden the criteria for waiving that requirement for certain applicants. Using information from CBP, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the agency's spending to vet applicants for law enforcement positions because the expanded exemption would probably not affect very many people."

Serial No. 116-2: Investing in America's Economic and National Security, Hearing Before the Committee on the Budget, House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixteenth Congress, First Session, February 7, 2019
This is the February 7, 2019 hearing on "Investing in America's Economic and National Security" held before the House Committee on the Budget. From the opening statement of John A. Yarmuth: "Put simply, we face $126 billion in cuts to defense and non-defense discretionary spending next year. These budget caps were never supposed to take effect. They were deliberately set in 2011 at destructively low levels to force an agreement on a comprehensive deficit reduction plan. That effort failed, and we have dealt with this problem ever since. We reached bipartisan agreements to raise the caps in 2012, 2013, 2015, and again in 2018. If we do not act again, investments that are vital to our economic and national security will face devastating cuts. No statements, letters, and materials were submitted for the record.

Serial No. 116-37: Chinese and Russian Influence in the Middle East, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and International Terrorism of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixteenth Congress, First Session, May 9, 2019
This is the May 9, 2019 hearing on "Chinese and Russian Influence in the Middle East" held before a Subcommittee of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. From the opening statement of Theodore E. Deutch: "The expanding regional roles of both Russia and China are of particular importance in light of the Trump administration's national security strategy that prioritizes great power competition. Under this paradigm, rivalry with both China and Russia will become the organizing principle of U.S. foreign policy, yet we continue to see unprincipled China policy and deference to Russia. The administration's announced withdrawal from Syria was a gift to Putin at a time when clear-eyed American leadership is what is clearly needed. The Middle East and North Africa may become an arena of strategic competition to an extent not seen since the early years of the cold war." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Jon B. Alterman, Andrew Exum, Christine Wormuth, and Ana Borshchevskaya.

Veterans Health Care: Opportunities Remain to Improve Appointment Scheduling Within VA and Through Community Care, Statement of Debra A. Draper, Director, Health Care, Testimony Before the Committee on Veteran' Affairs, House of Representatives
From the Highlights: "The majority of veterans utilizing VA [Department of Veterans Affairs] health care services receive care in VA-operated medical facilities, including 172 VA medical centers and more than 1,000 outpatient facilities. For nearly 20 years, GAO [Government Accountability Office] has reported on the challenges VA medical facilities have faced providing health care services in a timely manner. When veterans face wait times at VA medical facilities, they may be able to receive services from VA's community care programs, which VA estimates will be 19 percent of its $86.5 billion in health care obligations in fiscal year 2020. This testimony focuses on GAO's large body of work on veterans' access to care and the status of VA's efforts to address GAO's recommendations, including those from GAO's June 2018 report on VA's community care programs and from GAO's December 2012 report on VA's scheduling of timely medical appointments that VA has provided information on through July 2019. It also includes preliminary observations on related ongoing work."

Financial Technology: Agencies Should Provide Clarification on Lenders' Use of Alternative Data, Statement of Lawrance L. Evans, Jr., Managing Director, Financial Markets and Community Investment, Testimony Before the Task Force on Financial Technology, Committee on Financial Services, House of Representatives
From the Highlights: "Fintech refers to the use of technology and innovation to provide financial products and services. Fintech lenders are nonbank firms that operate online and may use alternative data to make loan decisions. In December 2018, GAO [Government Accountability Office] issued a report that examined fintech lenders' use of alternative data. The three fintech lending segments that GAO reviewed are personal, small business, and student loans. This statement--based on GAO's December 2018 report (GAO-19-111)-- discusses (1) fintech lenders' use of alternative data, (2) potential benefits and risks of alternative data, and (3) the extent to which federal agencies monitor lenders' use of these data. For that report, GAO reviewed literature and agency documents; analyzed relevant federal guidance; conducted interviews with agency officials and industry stakeholders; and interviewed a sample of 11 fintech lenders (selected based on size, products offered, and other factors)."

Electronic Health Records: VA Needs to Identify and Report System Costs, Report to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives
From the Highlights: "VA [Department of Veterans Affairs] provides health care services to approximately 9 million veterans and their families and relies on its health information system--VistA--to do so. However, the system is more than 30 years old, is costly to maintain, and does not fully support exchanging health data with DOD and private health care providers. Over nearly 2 decades, VA has pursued multiple efforts to modernize the system. In June 2017, the department announced plans to acquire the same system--the Cerner system--that DOD is implementing. VA plans to continue using VistA during the decade-long transition to the Cerner system. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to review key aspects of VistA and VA's plans for the new acquisition of the Cerner system. The objectives of the review were to (1) determine the extent to which VA has defined VistA, (2) evaluate VA's annual costs to develop and sustain VistA, and (3) describe the actions VA has taken to transition from VistA to the Cerner system. GAO analyzed documentation that defines aspects of VistA and identifies components to be replaced; evaluated the reliability of cost data, including obligations associated with the development and sustainment of VistA for fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017; and reviewed program documentation related to VA's program, governance, and plans to transition to Cerner."

Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program: Improvements Needed to Strengthen Reporting on 9/11-Related Claims
From the Document: "To determine the extent to which DOJ [Department of Justice] offsets benefits for public safety officers who are eligible to receive them from both the PSOB [Public
Safety Officers' Benefits] and VCF [September 11th Victim Compensation Fund] programs, we electronically matched claims data from the two programs using five digits of the claimants' Social Security number, name, and date of birth. Our match considered all of the approximately 1,750 public safety officers who received PSOB benefits from 2013 to 2018 and the more than 23,500 claimants who received VCF compensation from 2001 to 2018 (some of whom were public safety officers). We reviewed these matched claims to verify whether an offset was correctly applied. In addition, we visited DOJ offices to conduct a case file review for any matched claims where it was unclear whether benefits had been offset accurately. [...] We conducted this performance audit from May 2018 through July 2019 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1052, Rare Earth Element Advanced Coal Technologies Act
From the Document: "S. 1052 would authorize the appropriation of $23 million annually over the 2020-2027 period for the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop advanced technologies to extract rare earth elements and minerals from coal and coal byproducts. In 2019, DOE allocated $18 million for such activities. The bill also would direct DOE to submit a report to the Congress on the development of such technologies. Based on historical spending patterns for similar activities, and assuming appropriation of the authorized amounts, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 1052 would cost $66 million over the 2019-2024 period and $165 million over the 2019-2029 period."
