Historic Deal that Will Prevent Iran from Acquiring a Nuclear Weapon: How the U.S. and the International Community Will Block All of Iran's Pathways to a Nuclear Weapon [Obama Administration White House Archives]
This is the archived version of the Obama Administration's website section on the Iran Deal. From the Website: "President Obama has been clear that achieving a peaceful resolution that prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon will make the United States, our allies, and our world safer. When President Obama took office he underscored that the United States was prepared to resolve this issue diplomatically -- but only if Iran came to the table in a serious way. When that did not happen, we rallied the world to impose the toughest sanctions in history--sanctions that had a profound impact on the Iranian economy. Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table. Because of our diplomatic efforts, the world stood with us, and we were joined at the negotiating table by the world's major powers -- the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China, as well as the European Union. The goal: Reaching a long-term diplomatic resolution that verifiably prevents Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. In November 2013, the P5+1 [UN Security Council's five permanent members; namely China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States; plus Germany] and Iran took an important first step toward that goal with the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA), which halted the progress of Iran's program and rolled back it back in key areas for the first time in nearly a decade. The IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] has verified that Iran has met all of its obligations under the JPOA. Today, after many months of principled diplomacy building on the JPOA, we have achieved a framework for a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)."

Supporting Innovation, Creativity & Enterprise: Charting a Path Ahead, U.S. Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement
From the Document: "The Joint Strategic Plan is a forward-looking document, concentrating almost exclusively on the nature of the impediments to effective enforcement and how best to overcome these challenges during the plan's three-year term. The Joint Strategic Plan does not provide a summary of all the progress made in the fulfilment of intellectual property enforcement initiatives over the past few years. There have been numerous accomplishments and initiatives to observe: from increased seizure and enforcement statistics to high-profile arrests and convictions; to the posting of Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordinators (IPLECs) and Intellectual Property Attachés around the world; to the bipartisan passage and enactment of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Public Law 114-153 (May 11, 2016), to name a few. To learn more about these and many other important accomplishments, please refer to the Annual Report on Intellectual Property Enforcement issued by the Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, and submitted to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. Senate, and the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Appropriations of the U.S. House of Representatives, pursuant to Section 304 of the PRO-IP Act, 15 U.S.C. § 8814."

National Security Action Memorandum 166: Report on Emergency Plans and Continuity of the Government
National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 166 is a response to a report from the Emergency Planning Committee dated June 11 1962. In NSAM 166 the President endorses the recommendations of the report and the change in concept in emergency planning laid out therein: from the, then, current plan of "evacuation to distant sites" to one that examined the possibilities of "dispersion within the Washington metropolitan area and delegation to field office[s]." Such a change, however, would require "corresponding changes in other elements of emergency planning, including the assignment of responsibilities for emergency functions with the government and the organization of communications." The President further states that although the reports addresses the survival of the Federal government, the principles and conclusion behind the report's recommendations are "broadly applicable" throughout. Thus, he tasks the Director of the Office of Emergency Planning to assure that proposed regional emergency centers and survival programs of state and local governments are using "this common guidance" in "planning and preparing for emergency operations."
