Global Maritime Intelligence Integration Plan for the National Strategy for Maritime Security
From the Document: "Due to its complex nature and immense size, the Maritime Domain is particularly susceptible to exploitation and disruption by individuals, organizations, and nation states. The United States has more than 95,000 miles of shoreline and 3.4 million squares miles of water within our exclusive economic zone (EEZ), so we are particularly open to attack from the Maritime Domain. The openness that makes the Maritime Domain so important to international commerce also represents a great vulnerability. The vastness of the oceans, as well as the great length of shorelines, provides both concealment and numerous access points to land. Capitalizing on the relative ease and anonymity of movement by commercial ship or small, private vessels through the Maritime Domain, terrorists, criminal organizations and rogue nations are smuggling or attempting to smuggle materials and technology related weapons of mass destruction, conventional arms, money, narcotics, and human beings. Where possible, they use legitimate maritime business or apparent recreational activities as fronts for these attempts. Because 80 percent of the world's population lives within 200 miles of the shoreline, large numbers of people are potentially subject to threats from these groups."

Joint Statement by President Barack Obama of the United States of America and Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada on Accelerating Economic Recovery and Job Creation [September 16, 2009]
President Obama and Prime Minister Harper of Canada discussed the economy in North America and internationally. "Unprecedented fiscal stimulus in both countries has helped to stabilize demand and avert deeper levels of economic contraction and job loss, but it is important to remain vigilant. They agreed to work with other countries at the upcoming Pittsburgh Summit to lay the foundation for balanced and sustainable growth and to further the reform of financial regulations and international institutions to reflect the realities of the global economy. The Leaders agreed that economic integration is a fundamental source of strength for both economies, that open trade and investment are essential for competitiveness and sustainable growth in North America and globally. They expressed satisfaction with the productive ministerial dialogue put in place since the President's visit to Ottawa in February on promoting a secure and efficient border, to contribute equally to North American security and prosperity."

Economic Report of the President, Together with the Annual Report of the Council of Economic Advisers
From the Document: "Eight years ago when I took office, our economy was in crisis. We were just months into the worst recession since the Great Depression, with unemployment rising rapidly toward a peak of 10 percent. Nearly 800,000 Americans were losing their jobs each month, and home prices and the stock market had plummeted. The auto industry was on the verge of collapse. Many American families struggled to pay their bills, and millions had lost their homes. Faced with this crisis, my Administration acted quickly, taking steps to shore up the financial system; cut taxes for working families; invest in infrastructure, clean energy, and teacher jobs; help families refinance their homes; and rescue the auto industry. These actions stemmed the tide of the crisis and laid the foundation for a stronger economy over the long term. Today, thanks to the resilience of the American people, our economy has emerged as the strongest and most durable in the world. By nearly every economic measure, America is better off than when I took office. We are in the midst of the longest streak of job growth on record. U.S. businesses have added 15.6 million jobs since early 2010. The unemployment rate has been cut by more than half from its peak, falling much faster than economists expected. Rising home prices have brought millions of homeowners back above water, we are less reliant on foreign oil than we have been in nearly three decades, and we have cut our budget deficit by two-thirds as a share of the economy."

Report to the President: Technology and the Future of Cities
From the Document: "Cities are beginning a new era of change. From 1920 to 2010 many U.S. cities 'hollowed out' as suburbs grew faster than their urban cores. The trend started reversing in 2011 as Millennials and Baby Boomers looking for social connections and convenience settled in urban neighborhoods. Accompanying the resurgence of residential cities are complex and persistent urban challenges, including resilience against climate change and natural disasters. This report focuses on the technologies that shape some key infrastructures and economic activities, as opposed to those involved in delivering education, health care, or social services. As described in Chapter 2 of the report, technological advances promise to improve the environments in which people live and the services that city governments and companies offer. Cleaner energy technologies, new models of transportation, new kinds of water systems, building-construction innovation, low-water and soil-less agriculture, and clean and small-scale manufacturing are or will be available in the near future. These options, which are summarized in the Table of City Infrastructure Technologies, are evolving through private-sector commercialization and implementation plus university and National Laboratory research and development (R&D) in concert with city governments. Information and communication technologies (ICT), the proliferation of sensors through the Internet of Things, and converging data standards are also combining to provide new possibilities for the physical management and the socioeconomic development of cities. Local governments are looking to data and analytics technologies for insight and are creating pilot projects to test ways to improve their services."

Update on Lebanon, Hearing Before the Committee on the Middle East and South Asia of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, First Session, March 24, 2009
From the opening statement of Gary L. Ackerman: "America's interests in Lebanon can easily be summed up: Sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. We want Lebanon to be ruled by the Lebanese, for the Lebanese. A pluralistic democracy in landscape mostly occupied by strongmen and tyrants, Lebanon is, sadly, a canary in the Middle East coal mine. If Lebanon can be free; if Lebanon can find space for all the different voices and religions and convictions within it; if Lebanon can continue to exist with one foot in the West and the other in the Arab world; if Lebanon can simply be a normal country and not a battleground for outside powers; then our interests, and I think those of most Lebanese, will be fully satisfied." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Gary L. Ackerman, Jeffrey D. Feltman, Jeffrey D. Feltman, Dan Burton, and Gene Green.

U.S. Assistance to South Asia: Is There a Strategy to Go with All That Money? Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, Second Session, May 14, 2008
From the opening statement of Gary L. Ackerman: "Last week I suggested that the major elements of U.S. foreign assistance consisted, metaphorically speaking, of sending lawyers, guns and money, that promoting democracy, free markets, civil society and the rule of law strengthens our partners in the international community, that supporting our allies with appropriate arms and training is morally and smart policy and that using our wealth and access to our economy to friendly nations to grow their economies and develop their governance capacity is a smart use of our taxpayers' money. In essence, lawyers, guns and money are the key pillars supporting American foreign policy. Each element has its limit as well. In South Asia, all three components are necessary but are not by themselves sufficient. Pillars are just that, pillars. They are not the whole structure. They are tools and tactics to help us achieve our policy goals. In South Asia, they are often tactics in search of a strategy. South Asia is arguably the place from which America faces the greatest terrorist threat. It was in Afghanistan that al-Qaeda plotted and carried out the attacks of September 11. […] With regard to Afghanistan, the Atlantic Council states: Make no mistake, NATO is not winning in Afghanistan. The Center for the Study of the Presidency's Afghanistan Study Group concludes: The mission to stabilize Afghanistan is faltering. The International Crisis Group maintains: Afghanistan is not lost but the signs are not good." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Richard A. Boucher, Mark Ward, and Gary L. Ackerman.

From Competition to Collaboration: Strengthening the U.S.-Russia Relationship, Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, First Session, February 25, 2009
From Howard L. Berman's opening statement: "We are holding this full committee hearing-our first full committee hearing in the 111th Congress-to examine one of America's most important, yet often neglected, bilateral relationships, with the Russian Federation. I will yield myself 7 minutes for what I hope will be an infrequent, but somewhat long, opening statement. The Cold War is long over, and yet in recent times this relationship, that is the relationship between the United States and the Russian Federation, has been quite chilly. We don't always agree. But Washington and Moscow face a number of common challenges that could form the basis for a more constructive partnership. At the Munich Security Conference, Vice President Biden lamented the 'dangerous drift in relations' between Russia and the NATO alliance, while at the same time calling for a reassessment of areas in which we can work together. The positive response his remarks generated among Russian officials indicates that Moscow may also be willing to, in the Vice President's words, 'press the reset button.'" Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Robert H. Legvold, Steven Pifer, Andrei Illarionov, Howard L. Berman, Gerald E.Connolly, Donald A.

2021 On-Site Installation Evaluation Report
From the Executive Summary: "On February 26, 2021, Secretary of Defense Austin directed On-Site Installation Evaluations (OSIEs) at select installations. OSIEs focus on an installation's prevention capabilities and ability to effectively address risk for sexual assault, harassment, and suicide. They were designed to provide early detection of risk factors so leaders can take corrective actions and enhance prevention. OSIEs aim to provide insights on risk and protective factors on the ground, what works, what does not, how the Department can improve efforts more comprehensively, and support efforts to implement the approved recommendations of the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military (IRC). An additional purpose of the inaugural OSIEs was to pilot a process and metrics to establish an enduring installation evaluation capability that can be replicated in subsequent evaluations. [...] Based on the results from a force-wide climate survey in 2021, 20 sites with high risk or protective percentile scores were selected for OSIEs. Of these, 13 OSIEs were completed July through September 2021[.] [...] Seven site visits were delayed due to mission requirements of the units of interest and were subsequently completed November 2021 through January 2022[.] [...] Within each installation, the units with the highest risk or protective percentile scores on the installation were evaluated, in addition to the helping agencies and prevention personnel that supported these units. On-site evaluations verified installation self-assessed compliance with sexual assault, sexual harassment, and integrated violence prevention policy and prevention best practice. In addition, evaluations assessed prevention capabilities of installations and units of interest. This report summarizes findings and recommendations for the 20 sites that completed OSIEs[.]"

More Than Just Enrichment: Iran's Strategic Aspirations and the Future of the Middle East, Hearing Before the Subcommitee on the Middle East and South Asia of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, Second Session, June 5, 2008
From the opening statement of Gary L. Ackerman: "To face the challenge from Iran, we must start by learning and questioning, what are Iran's strategic aspirations? Who controls Iran's foreign policy? Are there schisms and weaknesses in Iran's political system that we can exploit? How do Iran's leaders see their country's place in the world, and what does that imply about our ability to affect its foreign policy choices? What is behind the rhetoric, especially the threats to Israel and the repellent Holocaust denials? Who controls the balance between ideology and real politics in Iranian security policy? The threat from Iran to our vital national security interests is real. It is real, but I am absolutely convinced that it is manageable. When compared to the United States, Iran is merely a pest. Our economy, our resources, our military, our alliances, our hard and soft power all vastly outstrip Iran not by just a little but by orders of magnitude. But, most of all, what Iran is selling, the rule of clerics, the straitjacket of Islamic law, and an unblemished history of failed governance, violence, and corruption, is an option desired by no people I have ever encountered." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Ray Takeyh, Judith Yaphe, Jon B. Alterman, Michael T. McCaul, and Gary L. Ackerman.

Russia, Iran, and Nuclear Weapons: Implications of the Proposed U.S.-Russia Agreement, Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, Second Session, June 12, 2008
From the opening statement of Howard L. Berman: "We are here this morning to begin to assess the proposed agreement between the United States and Russian Governments to expand civil nuclear cooperation. One key factor we will take into account, during this process, is the extent to which Russia is cooperating with the United States, the European Union, and others to discourage Iran's development of a nuclear weapons capability. One of the greatest potential threats to the security of the United States and its allies is an Iranian bomb. We have all heard the crude threats that President Ahmadinejad makes against Israel, which he repeated as recently as last week. But Israel is not the only state feeling the heat from Tehran's radioactive rhetoric. Other states in the Middle East are now, suddenly, interested in developing their own nuclear energy programs, emulating Iran. I do not believe this is a pure coincidence. As we know all too well, allegedly peaceful nuclear power programs can be used as a cover for the clandestine development of nuclear weapons. Not only would a nuclear-armed Tehran have the ability to intimidate other states in ways that could cripple U.S. national interests in the region and beyond--it would also effectively end the global nonproliferation regime." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Edward J. Markey, John C. Rood, Rober J. Einhorn, Henry D. Sokolski, and Donald A. Manzullo.

U.S. Policy and the Road to Damascus: Who's Converting Whom? Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, Second Session, April 24, 2008
From the opening statement of Gary L. Ackerman: "Syria […] remains a key actor in the Middle East, and one that has for the duration of the Bush administration been getting away with murder. That is not a figure of speech. During the Bush administration, Damascus has literally been getting away with murder. Syria has been facilitating the moving of jihadis in Iraq who are killing our troops, and murdering innocent Iraqis. Syria facilitated the movement of jihadis into Lebanon, armed them, and set them to make war against the Lebanese state. […] Together with Iran, Syria is responsible for the arming and rearming of Hezbollah […]. In defiance of U.N. Security Council mandates, Syria is continuing to provide arms and facilitate the movement of arms from Iran to Hezbollah in order to facilitate that group's efforts to undermine Lebanon's sovereignty and independence. […] Peace cannot be purchased by rewarding aggression. There will be no deal with the dictator in Damascus. Lebanon is not for sale, and justice is not a commodity in which the United States should trade. The special tribunal will proceed and the guilty will pay for their crimes. Neither bombs nor threats nor hollow promises of peace will advert the justice that is coming. The Assad regime must know that salvation will not come from well-intentioned American politicians ready to sell the freedoms of others to buy the illusion of security for themselves." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Gary L. Ackerman, Martin S. Indyk, Ammar Abdulhamid, Peter W. Rodman, Mike Pence, and Sheila Jackson Lee.

Fiscal Year 2016 National Security Space Hearing, Hearing before the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, First Session, March 25, 2015
This testimony compilation is from the March 25, 2015 hearing, "Fiscal Year 2016 National Security Space Hearing," before the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services. From the statement of Douglas Loverro: "While much has changed in those two years, there have been two clear constants. First, space remains as vital today to our national security as ever. It continues to underpin DoD capabilities worldwide at every level of engagement, from humanitarian assistance to all levels of combat and, as Admiral Haney, Commander of the United States Strategic Command, testified before this committee last month, is a major cornerstone of our deterrent strategy. Second, threats to space systems continue to grow. These include both non-hostile threats such as the continued increase in space congestion, spectrum interference, and debris, but more concerning, the hostile threats posed by adversaries who would seek to eliminate the advantage space confers to our forces. Those threats continue to mature and as this committee knows, and as the Director of National Intelligence recently testified, our adversaries are not sitting still. As you will see over the course of this hearing, neither are we."

The Chemical and Biological Defense Program's (CBDP) budget request of $1.19 billion will continue to develop capabilities to protect warfighters and support efforts to deter, prevent, mitigate, respond, and recover from chemical, biological, and radiological threats and their effects. Our Chemical Demilitarization budget request of $551 million will support the safe, complete, and treaty compliant destruction of the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile.

U.S. Policy Toward North Korea II: Misuse of U.S. Aid to North Korea, Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundered Sixth Congress, First Session, October 27, 1999
From the opening statement of Benjamin A. Gilman: "Five years ago, our Nation embarked on a massive assistance program for North Korea. Today, the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] stands as the No. 1 recipient of our Nation's assistance to East Asia. Total aid, including food assistance, is valued at over $645 million since 1995. That figure is expected to exceed $1 billion next year. The American people may not be fully aware of the true scale of this massive aid program. Today, our Nation and our partners in the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization, known as KEDO, provide at least 45 percent of North Korea's heavy fuel oil needs. Our Nation also provides over 80 percent of the internationally donated food aid to North Korea. In sum, we feed one out of every three North Koreans."

Ukraine Under Siege, Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, First Session
This is a testimony compilation from the March 4, 2015 hearing "Ukraine Under Siege," held before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. From the opening statement of Chairman Edward R. Royce: "To date, the actions taken by the U.S. and our EU allies -- including economic sanctions, aid, and diplomatic isolation -- have not checked Putin. Indeed, over the past year, he has become bolder -- even menacing NATO countries as he seeks to divide the alliance. The Obama Administration and our European allies have put hope in diplomatic and ceasefire arrangements. But it is not working. […] This isn't U.S. leadership. Moscow is also undermining Ukraine's economy. Today, Russia is using its natural gas and other energy sources for political coercion and to generate economic chaos. Ukraine is facing an economic precipice and desperately needs help. Meanwhile, Russia is winning the battle on the airwaves. Its propaganda offensive is aimed at sowing confusion and undermining opposition to its aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. But we are barely in the game of countering this. As I told the Secretary last week, I'd like to see more Administration support for the effort Mr. Engel and I have undertaken to reform our international broadcasting. The Broadcasting Board of Governors is broken. If we can't begin to change minds, then the struggle over Ukraine today will become a generational struggle for the future of all of Eastern Europe. Ukraine's fate has security implications for us well beyond its borders. It is time for strong and unwavering support of Ukraine. Now."

Executive Order 14035: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce
From the Policy: "On my first day in office, I signed Executive Order 13985 (Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government), which established that affirmatively advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity is the responsibility of the whole of our Government. To further advance equity within the Federal Government, this order establishes that it is the policy of my Administration to cultivate a workforce that draws from the full diversity of the Nation. As the Nation's largest employer, the Federal Government must be a model for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, where all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Accordingly, the Federal Government must strengthen its ability to recruit, hire, develop, promote, and retain our Nation's talent and remove barriers to equal opportunity. It must also provide resources and opportunities to strengthen and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across the Federal Government. The Federal Government should have a workforce that reflects the diversity of the American people. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplaces yield higher-performing organizations."
