The Chairman stated that these hearings were to begin its consideration of the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty SORT which the President submitted to the Senate on June 20 2002for its advice and consent to ratification. It was hoped that the treaty signed in May by Presidents Bush and Putin was a very important step forward in U.S>-Russian relations and toward a mores secure world. Cutting the number of each country's deployed strategic nuclear warheads from approximately 6000 to between 1700 and 2200 could move the U.S. another step away from the cold war preparations for massive nuclear exchange. The Treaty Between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Strategic Offensive Reductions SORT also known as the Treaty of Moscow was a strategic arms reduction treaty between the United States and Russia that was in force from June 2003 until February 2011 when it was superseded by the New START treaty. At the time SORT was positioned as "representing an important element of the new strategic relationship" between the two countries with both parties agreeing to limit their nuclear arsenal to between 1700 and 2200 operationally deployed warheads each. It was signed in Moscow on 24 May 2002. After ratification by the U.S. Senate and the State Duma SORT came into force on 1 June 2003. It would have expired on 31 December 2012 if not superseded by New START. Either party could have withdrawn from the treaty upon giving three months written notice to the other. U. S.

In the aftermath of the Enron collapse this hearing considered executive compensation and stock options. From the Opening Statement of Hon Max Baucus Chairman Committee on Finance. Today we are addressing some interrelated issues of corporate governance and executive compensation. Based upon questions that have arisen with the collapse of Enron we have been inundated with reports of accounting restatements disclosure concerns SEC files and so forth. Congress certainly is reacting to all of these questions. There must be what over a dozen two dozen committees and subcommittees in the Congress who have held hearings on issues related to Enron. Now we in the Congress are starting to turn to legislation. For our part the Finance Committee is working on three pieces of legislation: pensions tax shelters and executive compensation and stock options. At the same time corporations are also reacting themselves from the collapse of Enron. Some of them are reforming their practices. We now seek delays in financial reports as internal changes are made to reflect improved and probably more conservative accounting practices. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is considering reforms and the Securities Exchange Commission appears to be cracking down on enforcement. With that in mind however I think it is also critical for us to take a couple of steps back from the canvas and look at the larger picture. Before we go down this road too far I think it is important to take a good look at what we are doing where we are and what got us to this point. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

Skvarla and Donald A. RItchie. 109th Congress 1st Session Senate Document 109-2. From the Senate website: " The United States Catalogue of Graphic Art marks the first comprehensive publication of the approximately 1 000 prints that constitute the Senate's collection. Offering a variety of perspectives on the Senate of the 19th and 20th centuries the prints provide insight into a time quite different than the media-saturated world of today. While politics was a major topic in the post-Revolutionary War press limitations in printing technology meant that engravings or other visuals were uncommon. Thus most people formed their views of the new government through written or oral sources. However in 1839 with the introduction of the daguerreotype the country was familiarized with the faces of notable senators such as Henry Clay Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. By the early 1850s further innovation in engraving procedures enabled publishers to create engravings in hours rather than days or weeks. At the same time the growth of railroads and improvements in roads allowed for relatively rapid distribution of illustrated magazines such as Harper's Weekly The Graphic Puck and Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and for the first time readers could "see" an event within a week and later within days of it happening. Like the print and broadcast media of today these illustrated news magazines included both hard news and softer features and the graphic art catalogue reflects this coverage mix. The catalogue includes prints depicting important events of the day such as the debate over slavery the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson and presidential inaugurations. But also featured are prints capturing the daily rhythms of the Senate such as the crowded Capitol corridors Senate pages delivering documents lobbyist pleading their case meals in the Senate dining room and idyllic scenes of the Capitol building and grounds. The catalogue is organized into eight thematic chapters: Senate Chamber Capitol Interior Capitol Exterior & Grounds Senate Art Portraits Group Portraits Beyond Capitol Hill and Political Cartoons & Caricatures. Detailed information is given for each print including title creator date of publication printing technique and dimensions. In addition accompanying approximately 30 prints are short essays giving background and context for the scene people or events depicted in the illustration. For the chapter on political cartoons which includes the work of such notable artists as Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler there is an introductory essay as well as brief commentaries on 15 cartoons. This catalogue will undoubtably become a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the Senate the Capitol and American political history." From Wikipedia: "The United States Senate Curator is an employee of the United States Senate who is responsible for developing and implementing the museum and preservation programs for the Senate Commission on Art.
