• 'Manhattan District History' [website]

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Department of Energy's Office of Science and Technical Information webpage on the 'Manhattan District History': "General Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Engineer District, in late 1944 commissioned a multi-volume history of the Manhattan Project called the 'Manhattan District History'. Prepared by multiple authors under the general editorship of Gavin Hadden, a longtime civil employee of the Army Corps of Engineers, the classified history was 'intended to describe, in simple terms, easily understood by the average reader, just what the Manhattan District did, and how, when, and where.' The volumes record the Manhattan Project's activities and achievements in research, design, construction, operation, and administration, assembling a vast amount of information in a systematic, readily available form. The 'Manhattan District History' contains extensive annotations, statistical tables, charts, engineering drawings, maps, photographs, and detailed indices. Only a handful of copies of the history were prepared. The Department of Energy's Office of History and Heritage Resources is custodian of one of these copies. The history is arranged in thirty-six volumes grouped in eight books. Some of the volumes were further divided into stand-alone chapters. Several of the volumes and stand-alone chapters were never security classified. Many of the volumes and chapters were declassified at various times and were available to the public on microfilm. Parts of approximately a third of the volumes remain classified. […] Following is a listing of the books, volumes, and stand-alone chapters of the 'Manhattan District History' with links to pdf [portable document format] copies."

• Fueling an Epidemic: Inside the Insys Strategy for Boosting Fentanyl Sales (Report Four)

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "During the height of the prescription opioid crisis in the United States, Insys Therapeutics, Inc., adopted and intensified sales and marketing techniques Purdue Pharma pioneered in the 1990s for OxyContin and applied them to Insys' powerful fentanyl drug Subsys. Like Purdue, Insys aggressively used speakers programs--in which the company paid physicians to discuss Subsys with colleagues--and compensation programs for sales representatives to boost sales for Subsys [...] This report also highlights the examples of Heather Alfonso, a nurse practitioner from Connecticut, and Dr. Steven Simon, a physician practicing near Kansas City, Missouri--two practitioners separated by geography but united in their high Subsys prescribing and receipt of substantial payments from Insys. These case studies demonstrate exactly how company executives motivated sales representatives to 'own' physicians through promises of compensation for both sides--and how these efforts in turn significantly affected patient treatment."

A firefighter spoke these words just prior to hospital leaders making the decision to evacuate the Kaiser Permanente hospital in Santa Rosa, California. Many Americans watched helplessly in the fall of 2017 as thousands of acres burned in western states. Some people had very little notice before they had to evacuate, often having to drive through flames with just the proverbial clothes on their backs. ASPR [Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response] TRACIE [Technical Resources, Assistance Center, and Information Exchange] interviewed Joshua Weil [...], Assistant Physician-in-Chief, Hospital Operations of Kaiser Hospital Santa Rosa; Mitch Saruwatari [...], Director of Emergency Management, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Health Plan, Inc.; and Skip Skivington [...], Vice President of Healthcare Continuity Management, Kaiser Permanente, to learn more about their personal and professional experiences evacuating a hospital in the midst of a wildfire."

[...] As chemical and biological weapons may soon be the subject of serious international negotiations, the matter is thus clearly within this committee's responsibility.

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "This report provides data on expected departures and overstays, by country, for foreign travelers to the United States who entered as nonimmigrants through an air or sea port of entry (POE) and who were expected to depart in FY 2018 (October 1, 2017 - September 30, 2018). It does this by examining the number of entries, by country, for foreign travelers who arrived as nonimmigrants during this time as of October 1, 2018. An overstay is a nonimmigrant who was lawfully admitted to the United States for an authorized period, but remained in the United States beyond his or her authorized period of admission. The authorized admission period can be a fixed period; or for the duration of a certain activity, such as the period during which a student is pursuing a full course of study or any authorized technical/practical training. [...] DHS has engaged in a concerted campaign to end visa overstay abuse. For the second year in a row, visa overstay rates have declined. DHS will continue efforts to ensure the integrity of its nonimmigrant visa program."
