Gulf War Illness: Additional Actions Needed to Improve VA's Claims Process, Statement of Melissa Emrey-Arras, Director, Education, Workforce, and Income Security, Testimony Before the Subcommittees on Oversight and Investigations and Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives
"I am pleased to be here today to discuss our recent report on the process the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses to evaluate Gulf War Illness disability compensation claims. VA estimates that among the nearly 700,000 veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991, about 44 percent experience chronic medical issues commonly referred to as Gulf War Illness. There are no similar VA estimates of the prevalence of Gulf War Illness among veterans who were deployed to the region after 1991. According to the Department of Defense, however, these veterans may have also been exposed to certain environmental hazards and many have developed similar medical issues upon their return. The exact causes of Gulf War Illness are not always known and veterans' symptoms vary widely, but include fatigue, headaches, joint pain, indigestion, insomnia, respiratory disorders, skin problems, and memory impairment, among others. VA refers to claims for Gulf War Illness as 'undiagnosed illness,' 'medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness,' and 'infectious disease' claims."

How to Encourage a Culture of Officer Safety [video]
From the NIJ [National Institute of Justice] summary of the video: "Jeff Rojek, Associate Director for the Center for Law and Behavior at the University of Texas, explains what the research shows about why law enforcement officers are more or less likely to use seat belts. Rojek describes how training, improved policy and accountability, and organizational justice create a more comprehensive approach to officer safety. Hank Stawinski, Chief of Prince George's (MD) County Police Department, discusses how law enforcement agencies can reinforce a culture of officer safety using subtle messages such as radio broadcasts to remind officers to avoid rushing to resolve a situation."

U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress [July 12, 2017]
"This report presents background information and issues for Congress on the overarching U.S. foreign policy issue of the U.S. role in the world. Certain statements and actions from the Trump Administration have led to uncertainty about the Administration's intentions regarding the future U.S. role, and have intensified an ongoing debate among foreign policy specialists, strategists, policymakers, and the public about what that role should be. Decisions that Congress makes about the U.S. role could have substantial or even profound implications for U.S. foreign policy, national security, and international economic policy, for Congress as an institution, and for many federal policies and programs. This report includes (particularly in its appendixes) references to other CRS products that provide more in-depth discussions of specific policy and program areas bearing on the U.S. role. Congressional inquiries relating to the specific issue areas covered in those reports should be addressed to the authors of those reports."

Investigational New Drugs: FDA Has Taken Steps to Improve the Expanded Access Program But Should Further Clarify How Adverse Events Data Are Used, Report to Congressional Addressees
"FDA's goal for the expanded access program is to allow patients with immediately life-threatening and serious ailments access to investigational drugs when appropriate. Stakeholders have raised concerns that FDA's process is confusing or burdensome, particularly for the entities that have roles in the process--such as physicians, manufacturers, and institutional review boards. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to examine the expanded access program. Among other objectives, GAO examined 1) what is known about the number, type, and time frames of expanded access requests received by FDA; 2) what actions FDA and other stakeholders have taken to improve expanded access; and 3) how FDA uses data from expanded access in the drug approval process. GAO reviewed regulations and FDA documents and analyzed FDA data on the numbers and types of expanded access requests it received from FY2012 through 2015, the most recent at the time of the review. GAO also interviewed FDA officials and other stakeholders including nine manufacturers-- selected to represent large and small companies--and patient and physician representatives."

Overview of U.S. Sanctions Regimes on Russia [July 11, 2017]
"On December 29, 2016, President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for malicious cyber activity. These were the latest in a series of U.S. sanctions regimes that have been imposed on Russia over the last several years in response to activities that are state-sponsored or allegedly conducted by government officials. In addition, a number of Russian individuals and entities are subject to sanctions for terrorism, transnational crime, and weapons proliferation. The United States' use of economic sanctions in furtherance of national security or foreign policy is implemented, primarily, by the Departments of State (visas, arms embargos, arms sales, foreign aid, and in limited circumstances, prohibiting the use of U.S. passports to travel), Commerce (commercial exports), Defense (arms sales), Justice (investigation and prosecution), and the Treasury (blocking assets, prohibiting transactions, licensing export transactions, financial services, and in limited circumstances, restricting transactions related to travel). Interagency consulting occurs in implementing and administering any economic sanctions regime."

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Futures Seminar
From the Executive Summary: "As the integration of unmanned aircraft systems for legitimate commercial purposes moves forward in both global and domestic airspace, reports of UAS [unmanned aircraft systems] encounters across multiple critical infrastructure sectors challenge the ability to characterize benign, suspicions or malicious intent. While most reported UAS sightings within the United States are likely non-malicious in nature, they still typically require initial and investigative activities by security and law enforcement partners. In some instances, unauthorized UAS operations represent a risk to public safety and hinder or disrupt emergency response operations and occur across a range of security operation and critical infrastructure. The security element of UAS integration is focused on minimizing the physical risk, either thru education, visual recognition, enforcement, or thru technical detection systems. In addition, the data security protocols for UAS operators within the public and private domain has emerged as a topic of interest."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2997: 21st Century Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization Act
"H.R. 2997 would establish a federally chartered, not-for-profit corporation (known as the American Air Navigation Services (AANS) Corporation) to assume responsibility for operating the U.S. air traffic control system, a function currently performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The proposed corporation would be governed by a 13-member board of directors composed of individuals representing certain aviation stakeholder groups. To finance the costs of providing air traffic services, the bill would authorize the corporation to charge fees to users of such services and to issue debt. The Secretary of Transportation would manage and oversee the transition of operational control over air traffic services to the proposed corporation, which would occur on October 1, 2020. Until that time, the bill would authorize appropriations for the FAA to continue to operate, maintain, and modernize the air traffic control system and carry out the agency's other traditional responsibilities related to civil aviation. After the proposed transition of all air traffic control-related personnel and programs to the AANS Corporation, the bill would authorize additional appropriations for FAA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to continue to meet traditional aviation-related responsibilities, such as performing certain regulatory and safety-related activities, making grants to airports to support capital projects, and subsidizing air service to certain rural communities."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2810: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018
"H.R. 2810 would authorize appropriations totaling an estimated $689 billion for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), for certain activities of the Department of Energy (DOE), and for other purposes. In addition, the bill would prescribe personnel strengths for each active-duty and selected-reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that appropriation of the authorized amounts would result in outlays of $669 billion over the 2018-2022 period. If the total amount authorized for 2018 was appropriated, $613.8 billion would count against that year's defense cap set in the Budget Control Act (BCA), as amended; $0.6 billion would count against the nondefense cap for 2018; and $74.6 billion designated for overseas contingency operations would not be constrained by caps. The bill also contains provisions that would affect the costs of defense programs funded through discretionary appropriations in 2019 and future years. Those provisions mainly would affect force structure, compensation and benefits, the military health system, and various procurement programs. CBO has analyzed the costs of a select number of those provisions and estimates that they would, on a net basis, increase the cost of those programs relative to current law by about $80 billion over the 2019-2022 period. The net costs of those provisions in 2019 and beyond are not included in the total amount of outlays mentioned above because funding for those activities would be covered by specific authorizations in future years."

The Nuclear Ban Treaty: An Overview [July 10, 2017]
"Since the founding of the United Nations in 1945, the First Committee of the UN General Assembly (UN GA) has called for nuclear disarmament. UNGA Resolution A/71/258 (2016) called on UN member states to negotiate in 2017 a legally binding Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the nuclear 'ban treaty.' Negotiations were held in New York, February 27-March 31, and June 15-July 7. At the end of the conference, 122 countries voted to approve the treaty. Singapore abstained, and the Netherlands voted against it, citing conflicts between the treaty and the Netherland's commitments as a member of NATO. Article 1 says that adherents would never 'develop, produce, manufacture, otherwise acquire, possess or stockpile nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.' This includes a prohibition on hosting nuclear weapons that are owned or controlled by another state. Nor would states parties transfer, receive control over, or assist others in developing nuclear weapons. They also would not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. Article 7 requires states to give assistance to individuals affected by the use or testing of nuclear weapons and provide for environmental remediation."

Chemical and Biological Defense: DOD Has Identified an Infrastructure Manager and Is Developing the Position's Roles and Responsibilities
"Over the past 4 years, the United States has faced significant chemical and biological threats to its national security. [...] The Department of Defense's (DOD) Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) leads the department's efforts to develop solutions, such as countermeasures, 'to enable the warfighter to deter, prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats and effects as part of a layered, integrated defense.' The CBDP Enterprise--comprising DOD's chemical and biological defense research and development and test and evaluation infrastructure found among 26 DOD organizations--is responsible for implementing this mission. [...] In House Conference Report 114-270, the House and Senate conferees required DOD to report to the congressional defense committees on the designation of an individual responsible for managing the infrastructure for the CBDP in order to minimize duplication of effort both within DOD and other agencies of the federal government. The House and Senate conferees noted that this was consistent with the findings and recommendations in our June 2015 report and included a provision that we review the roles and responsibilities of the official designated to be responsible for infrastructure management. This report describes the status of DOD's efforts to develop the roles and responsibilities of DOD's CBDP Infrastructure Manager."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 2868: National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017
"H.R. 2868 would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to cap annual premiums charged for certain National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policies at $10,000 for five years. The cap would be adjusted for inflation every five years. The bill also would require FEMA to update guidelines on methods to mitigate flood prone properties and to conduct a study on the feasibility of providing NFIP coverage to individual dwelling units in cooperative housing projects. CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that enacting H.R. 2868 would increase direct spending by $68 million over the 2018-2027 period. Because enacting H.R. 2868 would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on spending subject to appropriation in any year. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2868 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 2868 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

State Secrets: How an Avalanche of Media Leaks is Harming National Security, A Majority Staff Report of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, July 6, 2017
"Federal law prohibits the unauthorized release of certain information that could damage our national security. The protection of our nation's secrets is essential to protecting intelligence activities, sources and methods, preserving the ability of the President to effectively achieve foreign policy objectives, and ultimately to safeguard our country. In short, the unauthorized disclosure of certain information can cost American lives, and our laws protecting this information provide for harsh punishments when violated. Since President Trump assumed office, our nation has faced an unprecedented wave of potentially damaging leaks of information protected by these important laws. Under President Trump's predecessors, leaks of national security information were relatively rare, even with America's vibrant free press. Under President Trump, leaks are flowing at the rate of one a day, an examination of open-source material by the majority staff of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs shows. Articles published by a range of national news organizations between January 20 and May 25, 2017 included at least 125 stories with leaked information potentially damaging to national security. Even a narrow search revealed leaks of comparable information during the Trump administration that were about seven times higher than the same period during the two previous administrations. From the morning of President Trump's inauguration, when major newspapers published information about highly sensitive intelligence intercepts, news organizations have reported on an avalanche of leaks from officials across the U.S. government. Many disclosures have concerned the investigations of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, with the world learning details of whose communications U.S. intelligence agencies are monitoring, what channels are being monitored, and the results of those intercepts. All such revelations are potential violations of federal law, punishable by jail time."

From the Document: "[E]mployees in the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Office of Security Capabilities (OSC) were given internal guidance that, if followed, would improperly restrict and delay the DHS Office of Inspector General's (OIG) access to documents. Specifically, on October 3, 2016, 'TSA HQ [Headquarters] - Executive Advisor' sent a communication to TSA's OSC setting out instructions for interacting with the OIG. The email notifies TSA personnel that documents responsive to an OIG request must first be 'cleared' within TSA before being provided to the OIG. The email also states that, prior to production to the OIG, documents are to be subjected to multiple levels of review within TSA, including review by a Designated Program Office, the OSC Audit Liaison Team, the Office of Chief Counsel (OCC), and TSA leadership."
