COVID-19: Federal Efforts to Provide Vaccines to Racial and Ethnic Groups, Report to Congressional Committees
From the Highlights: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] continues to have devastating effects on public health, serious economic repercussions, and has disproportionately affected some racial and ethnic groups. Ensuring all racial and ethnic groups have fair access to the COVID-19 vaccine is critical to reducing severe COVID-19 health outcomes and saving lives. The CARES [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security] Act includes a provision for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to report on its ongoing oversight efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This report describes, among other things, the actions CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], HRSA [Health Resources and Services Administration], and FEMA have taken through their programs to provide COVID-19 vaccines to underserved and historically marginalized racial and ethnic groups, and the extent to which these programs vaccinated various racial and ethnic groups."

National Security Snapshot: Challenges Facing DOD in Strategic Competition with China
From the Document: "According to the 2021 'Interim National Security Strategic Guidance', China is increasingly assertive and the only competitor potentially capable of combining its economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to mount a sustained challenge to a stable and open international system. From a defense perspective, China is a significant and long-term security threat and the pacing threat in most areas, according to the Secretary of Defense. However, the Department of Defense (DOD) has also highlighted weaknesses and challenges facing China. For example, the Defense Intelligence Agency reported that China, as a large developing country, still faces multiple complex security challenges including several regional territorial disputes."

Anti-Corruption Efforts in Latin America and the Caribbean [February 1, 2022]
From the Document: "Corruption of public office holders remains an issue for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and an increasing area of focus for U.S. foreign policy and congressional interest. The region is struggling to overcome governance challenges that have worsened over the past two years, as the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented new opportunities for corruption and has frustrated efforts to combat it. The annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of the nongovernmental organization Transparency International compares perceived public sector corruption among 180 countries; the 2021 CPI notes, 'countries of the Americas have ground to a halt in the fight against corruption.' Of the 30 nations surveyed in LAC, 18 (shown in 'Figure 1') have stayed in roughly the same relative order for the past five years. The CPI measures 'perceived' rather than 'actual' corruption; actual corruption is difficult to measure because of its opaque nature and different definitions for the phenomena. However, numerous U.S. and global agencies use the CPI as a benchmark and diagnostic tool for comparing relative levels of transparency."

Statement from DNI Haines and DCIA Burns [redacted]
From the Executive Summary: "DNI [Director of National Intelligence] Haines and DDCIA [Director of the Central Intelligence Agency] Cohen established the IC Experts Panel on Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs) to help elucidate potential causal mechanisms of the AHIs affecting US Government personnel. The panel comprised experts from inside and outside the US Government with expertise in relevant areas of science, medicine, and engineering. The panel did not examine questions related to attribution of AHIs to an actor, including the question of whether a foreign actor may be involved. The panel's findings are one of several inputs that will inform the IC's work on AHIs moving forward."

Critical Infrastructure Protection: Agencies Need to Assess Adoption of Cybersecurity Guidance, Report to Congressional Committees
From the Highlights: "The nation's 16 critical infrastructure sectors provide essential services such as banking, electricity, and gas and oil distribution. However, increasing cyber threats--like the May 2021 ransomware cyberattack on an American oil pipeline system that led to regional gas shortages--represent a significant national security challenge. To better protect against cyber threats, NIST [National Institute of Standards and Technology] facilitated, as required by federal law, the development of a voluntary framework of cybersecurity standards and procedures for sectors to use. The 'Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014' included provisions for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to review aspects of the framework. GAO's report addresses the extent to which SRMAs [sector risk management agencies] have (1) determined framework adoption by entities within their respective sectors and (2) identified improvements resulting from sector-wide use."

Capitol Attack: The Capitol Police Need Clearer Emergency Procedures and a Comprehensive Security Risk Assessment Process, Report to Congressional Requesters
From the Highlights: "On January 6, 2021, thousands of demonstrators surrounded the U.S. Capitol Building. Demonstrators attacked and injured law enforcement officers and eventually breached the building. The Capitol Police is responsible for protecting the Congress, its Members, staff, visitors, and facilities. The Capitol Police Board oversees the Capitol Police. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to review the Capitol Police's physical security efforts for January 6. This report addresses the Capitol Police and the Board's: (1) physical security planning for January 6; (2) response to that day's events, including the procedures for obtaining outside assistance; and (3) process for assessing and mitigating physical security risks."

Indian Health Service: Relief Funding and Agency Response to COVID-19 Pandemic, Report to Congressional Addressees
From the Highlights: "IHS [Indian Health Service] provides care to about 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), directly through federally operated IHS facilities (including 24 hospitals) or indirectly through facilities operated by tribal or urban Indian organizations. Regional oversight is provided through 12 area offices. As the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic progressed, tribal lands became hotspots for rapid spread, with infection rates in some areas, such as the Navajo Nation, among the highest in the country. With higher prevalence of certain diseases, such as diabetes and heart conditions, AI/ANs may be particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. At the same time, outdated facilities and equipment, high provider vacancy rates, and few inpatient beds could make an effective response by IHS potentially more challenging. The CARES Act [Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act] includes a provision for GAO [Government Accountability Office] to report on the federal response to the pandemic. This report describes, among other things, COVID-19 relief funding for IHS, tribal, and urban Indian health facilities; and steps IHS took to address challenges that IHS hospitals faced in responding to the pandemic. GAO surveyed all 24 federally run IHS hospitals; reviewed IHS documents; interviewed officials from three IHS area offices selected for variation in geography, incidence of COVID-19, and other factors; and met with national stakeholder organizations. GAO provided a draft of this report to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including IHS. HHS provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated as appropriate."

Metering Update: February 2022
From the Introduction: "In April 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) leadership issued guidance that allowed officers to limit asylum seekers' access to ports of entry. This guidance permitted CBP officers stationed at the United States' international boundary with Mexico to inform arriving asylum seekers that U.S. ports of entry were full. Simultaneously, CBP officers also began accepting a specified number of asylum seekers each day, in a process that is known as metering. [...] As metering spread across the border and a subsequent backlog of asylum seekers grew in Mexico's border cities, Mexican authorities and civil society groups responded by providing humanitarian assistance and creating informal waitlists. Since November 2018, the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law at the University of Texas at Austin--at times in collaboration with the Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of California San Diego and the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute--has documented these informal lists through quarterly updates. As the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic began in March 2020, CBP stopped processing asylum requests at ports of entry altogether. This change took place via a Center for Disease Control's (CDC) regulation based on Title 42 authority and an order that blocked entry for individuals--including asylum seekers--attempting to enter the United States through Mexico without valid travel documents. The use of Title 42 to restrict asylum seeker processing continues to be controversial and questioned by public health experts."

Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic for Developing a Resilient ASEAN
From the Abstract: "The vast differences in the level of economic and social development, political governance, and policy responses to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic notwithstanding, nearly all ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] member states share a common outlook towards growth strategies. They will all face several common challenges in a post-pandemic world, many of which demand solutions that require a collaborative and multilateral approach. Prior to planning ahead, ASEAN needs to take stock of individual and collective experiences during the crisis caused by COVID-19 that should inform post-pandemic policy development. What lessons can we derive from the collective and national experiences over the past two years?"

Access to COVID-19 Vaccines for Refugees in Uganda
From the Introduction: "The only way out of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic is for everyone, everywhere, to have equitable and swift access to vaccines. As Uganda is host to over 1.5 million refugees, it is critical for the country's fight against COVID-19 to include refugees in its vaccine campaign. For many countries, 2021 saw a shortage of vaccine doses, preventing most refugees and host communities alike from being vaccinated. In Uganda, 2022 has begun with the promise of increased vaccine supplies through COVAX [COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access]. Therefore, it is important to consider how to effectively deliver these vaccines in a way that adequately and equitably reaches all populations. This paper examines Uganda's efforts to vaccinate refugees, and identifies a number of major barriers to vaccine access[.]"

Older Workers: Opioid Misuse and Employment Outcomes, Report to Congressional Requesters
From the Highlights: "Opioid misuse has been a persistent problem in the U.S. In 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency. The Department of Labor (DOL) awarded grants to help address this crisis. While some research sheds light on the relationship between opioid misuse and workforce participation among workers of all ages, questions remain about the employment experiences of older workers affected by opioid misuse, as well as the experiences of workers during the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. GAO [Government Accountability Office] was asked to explore recent trends among older adults and opioid misuse. This report examines (1) how individual characteristics and employment experiences differ between older workers who do and do not misuse opioids and (2) challenges that selected local workforce agencies identified in helping workers--including older workers--affected by opioid misuse during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Causes and Consequences of School Violence: A Review
From the Introduction: "Although school violence is on the decline, it remains a significant concern for researchers, policymakers, and the general public. The latest Indicators of School Crime and Safety report indicates that, in a given school year, most schools will record one or more violent incidents, and one-fifth of schools will record one or more serious violent incidents. A significant minority of students will be in a physical fight at school. Smaller numbers of students will bring weapons to school or will be the victims of assault, sexual assault, or robbery at school. And, though the number will be small, there also will be youth homicides at school. Indeed, recent estimates reveal that over half of youth violent victimization occurs at school, and over half of teachers have experienced student-perpetrated violence. [...] This report takes a comprehensive look at the state of the research on school violence. It includes an empirical review of systematic reviews and a narrative review of recent empirical research on the predictors and consequences of violence in schools. Additionally, a summary of the ways that researchers have conceptualized and measured school violence is provided, and discussions about serious school violence and studies that were funded by NIJ's [National Institute of Justice] CSSI [Comprehensive School Safety Initiative] are included. Several recommendations for future research are put forth."

'San Diego County Sheriff's Department': It Has Failed to Adequately Prevent and Respond to the Deaths of Individuals in Its Custody
From the Summary: "In accordance with federal constitutional law, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department (Sheriff's Department) has a responsibility to provide adequate medical care for individuals while they are in its custody. Nonetheless, from 2006 through 2020, a total of 185 people died in San Diego County's jails--more than in nearly any other county across the State. Some of these individuals were in custody for only a few days to a few months; others were waiting to be sentenced, set to be released, or about to be transferred to different facilities. Although any death is a tragedy, the high rate of deaths in San Diego County's jails compared to other counties raises concerns and suggests that underlying systemic issues with the Sheriff's Department's policies and practices have undermined its ability to ensure the health and safety of the individuals in its custody. Significant deficiencies in the Sheriff's Department's provision of care to incarcerated individuals likely contributed to the deaths in its jails."

Next Republican Culture War Attack: 'Anti- White' COVID-19 Drug Guidance
From the Document: "America's hospitals are filled with unvaccinated COVID [coronavirus disease] patients, many of whom have bought the dangerous narrative peddled by anti-vaxxers and Republican politicians who failed the nation when COVID first struck and continue to fail the nation today. To deflect from their failure, the newest Republican culture war attack, coming directly from former President Donald Trump [hyperlink] and Fox News' Tucker Carlson [hyperlink], accuses Democrats and the Administration of 'anti-white racism' when it comes to the use of the limited supply of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] treatments. Make no mistake. Republicans are desperate to try to shift blame by creating a culture war where there is none. And they are trying to divide Americans even further, for their own benefit. Let's examine the facts and address this attack head on."

Left Behind: A Brief Assessment of the Biden Administration's Strategic Failures During the Afghanistan Evacuation
From the Executive Summary: "From August 15 to August 31, the United States completed its largest air evacuation. However, this evacuation was marred by a lack of planning, coordination, and communication. The United States failed to establish a clear system of how to contact evacuees and processes to allow them into the airport. The result left American citizens, U.S. legal permanent residents, and Afghan allies abandoned to the fate of the Taliban regime. [...] In conducting interviews for this report, it is clear that despite substantial failures of leadership and foresight, it was junior and mid-level civil servants, Foreign Service and military officers, and enlisted personnel who would help mitigate a number of issues through extraordinary feats. In fact, it was the heroic initiative taken by these people that prevented the evacuation from being even more disastrous than it could have been."

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS): An Overview [Updated January 31, 2022]
From the Introduction: "Established by Congress as an amendment to the Clean Air Act, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates that U.S. transportation fuels contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The mandated minimum volume increases annually and generally has been met using both conventional biofuel (e.g., corn starch ethanol) and advanced biofuel (e.g., cellulosic ethanol). For a renewable fuel to be applied toward the mandate, it must be used for certain purposes (i.e., road transportation fuel, jet fuel, or heating oil) and meet certain environmental and biomass feedstock criteria. The statute outlines annual volume requirements--listed in tables--for four fuel categories: total renewable fuel, total advanced biofuel, cellulosic biofuel, and biomass-based diesel. The total renewable fuel statutory volume required for any given year equates to the sum of conventional biofuel (which is unspecified in statute) and advanced biofuel (which is specified in statute). Both cellulosic biofuel and biomass-based diesel are subcategories of advanced biofuel (both of which are specified in statute). There is also a third advanced biofuel category--other advanced biofuels (which is unspecified in statute)."

Navy Constellation (FFG-62) Class Frigate Program: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated January 31, 2022]
From the Introduction: "This report provides background information and discusses potential issues for Congress regarding the Navy's Constellation (FFG-62) class frigate program, a program to procure a new class of 20 guided-missile frigates (FFGs). The Navy's proposed FY2022 budget requests $1,087.9 million (i.e., about $1.1 billion) for the procurement of the third FFG-62, and $69.1 million in advance procurement (AP) funding for the fourth and fifth FFG-62s, which are programmed for procurement in one or more future fiscal years. The FFG-62 program presents several potential oversight issues for Congress. Congress's decisions on the program could affect Navy capabilities and funding requirements and the U.S. shipbuilding industrial base."

Navy LPD-17 Flight Il and LHA Amphibious Ship Programs: Background and Issues for Congress [Updated January 31, 2022]
From the Document: "This report discusses two types of amphibious ships [LPDs] being procured for the Navy: LPD-17 Flight II class amphibious ships and LHA-type [landing helicopter assault type] amphibious assault ships. Both types are built by Huntington Ingalls Industries/Ingalls Shipbuilding (HII/Ingalls) of Pascagoula, MS. Section 124 of the FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (H.R. 6395/P.L. 116-283 of January 1, 2021) provides authority for the Navy to use a block buy contract for the procurement of three LPD-17 class ships and one LHA-type amphibious assault ship. One issue for Congress is whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2022 procurement funding requests for the LPD-17 Flight II and LHA programs. The Navy's proposed FY2022 budget requests $60.6 million in procurement funding to complete the procurement cost of the second LPD-17 Flight II class ship, LPD-31, and $68.6 million in procurement funding to help fund the procurement cost of the amphibious assault ship LHA-9."

Legal Dreamers [January 31, 2022]
From the Document: "The term 'Dreamers' is often used to refer to foreign nationals who were brought to the United States as children and lack lawful immigration status. This population has garnered much public and congressional attention. There is broad-based but uneven public support [hyperlink] for providing these individuals with lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. After Congress repeatedly considered [hyperlink] but did not pass legislation to provide Dreamers with a means to adjust to permanent status, the Obama Administration established Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [hyperlink] (DACA) in 2012. DACA enables its beneficiaries--unauthorized immigrants who first entered the United States before June 15, 2017, and before reaching age 16, and also meet other requirements--to live in the United States on a temporary, renewable basis. DACA recipients receive protection from removal and may receive work authorization. They are not granted or put on a pathway to be granted LPR status. Since DACA was implemented, and despite multiple bipartisan efforts, Congress has not passed legislation to provide Dreamers with a pathway to adjust to LPR status."
