Mailing label residue on the back page. This includes statements from Wilbur Campbell Ken Cory Charles DiBona Ed Gabriel Saul Goodman David Linowes Charles Mankin William Pendley Pete Smith Laurence Steenberg and Malcolm Wallop. The Federal Energy and Mineral Resources Act of 1982 S. 2305 hearings were held before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources during the 97th Congress. They addressed severe revenue shortfalls and accounting problems in the collection of mineral royalties from federal and Indian lands.The legislation responded to findings by the Commission on Fiscal Accountability of the Nation's Energy Resources which highlighted lax site security and ineffective royalty collection. The Government Accountability Office GAO testified in support of the bill noting that historical site security on federal and Indian lands was "extremely lax". The GAO urged the Department of Interior to take the lead in developing strict site security and inspection strategies. The hearings centered on modernizing the accounting and control of royalties establishing minimum standards for site security plans and mandating record-keeping for mineral transport. Proposals included provisions allowing the Secretary of the Interior to delegate audit and inspection responsibilities to states provided a uniform and effective accounting system was used. The bill also required strict protections for Indian lands requiring permission from affected tribes for such delegation. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

Foreign and Military Intelligence; Book I: Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities United States Senate Together with Additional Supplemental and Separate Views

197655626Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1976. presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Senate document 94th Congress 2d Session Report No. 94-755. viii 651 5 pages. Wraps. Figures. Footnotes. Appendices. Glossary. Small tears at spine slight soiling to text staples in front cover small stains on title page. Inscribed to Nancy Brooks by Michael Madigan Staff Counsel and Spencer Davis Staff Press Secretary. In 1973 the Senate Watergate Committee investigation revealed that the executive branch had directed national intelligence agencies to carry out constitutionally questionable domestic security operations. In 1974 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a front-page New York Times article claiming that the CIA had been spying on anti-war activists for more than a decade violating the agency's charter. Former CIA officials and some lawmakers including Senators William Proxmire and Stuart Symington called for a congressional inquiry. On January 21 1975 Senator John Pastore introduced a resolution to establish a select committee to investigate federal intelligence operations and determine "the extent if any to which illegal improper or unethical activities were engaged in by any agency of the Federal Government." The Senate approved the resolution 82-4. The final report included 96 recommendations legislative and regulatory designed "to place intelligence activities within the constitutional scheme for controlling government power." The committee recommended strengthening oversight of intelligence activities. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield cautioned the Senate "against letting the affair become a ‘television extravaganza.'" He and Republican Leader Hugh Scott carefully selected committee members balancing experienced lawmakers with junior members and ensuring that members represented a variety of political viewpoints. Mansfield selected Democrat Frank Church of Idaho to serve as chairman. A 16-year member of the Committee on Foreign Relations Church recognized the strategic value of the nation's top intelligence agencies and was also mindful of the need for American institutions to function within the confines of U.S. constitutional law. He had aggressively lobbied to lead the investigation. Republican John Tower of Texas a member of the Armed Services Committee was selected as the committee's vice-chairman. The committee decided that most of its hearings would be held in closed executive session in order to protect intelligence sources and methods. The committee held a series of public hearings in September and October of 1975 to educate the American public about the "unlawful or improper conduct" of the intelligence community highlighting a few carefully selected cases of misconduct. These hearings examined a CIA biological agents program a White House domestic surveillance program IRS intelligence activities and the FBI's program to disrupt the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. These nationally televised events offered the American public an opportunity to learn about the secret operations conducted for decades by U.S. intelligence agencies. The committee faced a formidable task: to conduct a wide-ranging investigation of the nation's most secret agencies and programs and based on those findings write a detailed report including legislative recommendations. All of this work was to be completed within one year later extended to 16 months. After a meeting with President Gerald Ford and his top national security advisors Church and Vice-Chairman Tower secured from the president a pledge that the White House would cooperate with Senate investigators. Staff identified potential programs for study and began requesting documents from intelligence agencies. Though staff did not always receive documents in a timely fashion they enjoyed unprecedented access to materials that had never before been made public. Perhaps the most well-known of these internal reports the CIA's so-called "Family Jewels" outlined the agency's misdeeds dating back to President Dwight Eisenhower's administration. This report as well as those found in other agencies provided road maps that staff investigators used to piece together complicated histories of domestic foreign and military intelligence programs during the Cold War era. Even with a peak staff of 150 however organizing and analyzing these materials proved to be an arduous task. After holding 126 full committee meetings 40 subcommittee hearings interviewing some 800 witnesses in public and closed sessions and combing through 110000 documents the committee published its final report on April 29 1976. Congress approved legislation to provide for greater checks and balances of the intelligence community. In 1978 Congress approved and President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA requiring the executive branch to request warrants for wiretapping and surveillance purposes from a newly formed FISA Court. Today the Church Committee reports and hearings are frequently used by scholars who continue to examine U.S. intelligence activities during the Cold War era. U. S.

Export Trading Company Act of 1980; Hearings before the Subcommittee on International Finance of the Committee on Banking Housing and Urban Affairs United Senate Ninety-sixth Congress Second Session on S. 2379 to encourage exports by facilitating the formation and operations of export trading companies and the expansion of export trade services general S. 864 to establish within the Department of Commerce an office to promote and encourage the formation and utilization of export trade associations and for other purposes and Amendment No. 1674 to S. 864 March 17 and 18; and April 3 1980

198091195Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1980. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Good. vi 372 6 pages Illustrations. Tabular data. Cover has some wear and soiling. Among the witnesses were Herbert Gardner J. D. Minutilli Ted Taubeneck Lloyd Bentsen Anthony Newton James Summers Erland Higinbotham Jerry Hester Lawrence Fox John Liebman Charles Levy Thomas Rees Ruth Scheuler Philip Klutznick Robert Hormats Fred Bergsten and Deane Hinton. The Export Trading Company Act ETCA of 1980 was initially proposed as a legislative effort to encourage and promote the formation of U.S. export trading companies ETC. By allowing banking institutions to invest in these trading companies the Act sought to help small and medium-sized American businesses expand globally. The original bills introduced in the 96th Congress eventually evolved into the finalized Export Trading Company Act of 1982 Pub. L. 97-290. This landmark legislation is designed to boost American exports by tackling three major hurdles: access to financing antitrust restrictions and promotion. The finalized legislation accomplished these goals across several core Titles:Banking and Financing Title II: It breached the historical separation of banking and commerce by permitting eligible banking entities-such as bank holding companies and Edge Act corporations-to acquire equity in export trading companies. It also improved exporters' access to working capital by establishing a loan guarantee program through the Export-Import Bank. Antitrust Exemption / Certification Title III: It established a certification procedure overseen by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice. If granted a Certificate of Review exporters receive immunity from federal and state antitrust suits for specified export conduct drastically reducing the risk of private treble-damage antitrust lawsuits. Antitrust Clarification Title IV: It amended the Sherman Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act to clarify that the antitrust laws generally do not apply to conduct involving foreign commerce unless it has a "direct substantial and reasonably foreseeable effect" on U.S. domestic commerce. Trade Promotion Title I: It directed the Secretary of Commerce to promote ETCs and facilitate connections between producers of exportable goods and companies providing export services. Today the program is administered by the International Trade Administration. It allows U.S. companies to form export joint ventures to share resources such as negotiating volume freight rate discounts or participating in large-volume sales without the fear of violating antitrust laws.

References. Cover has some wear and soiling. A major focus of this hearing was on radiation exposure and hazards. Among the witnesses were: Roger Egeberg Joseph Hennessey Clarence Larson James Ramey representatives of the Federal Radiation Council and John Totter then Director of the Biomedical Division of the Atomic Energy Commission. Radiation protection also known as radiological protection is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA as "The protection of people from harmful effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the means for achieving this". Exposure can be from a source of radiation external to the human body or due to internal irradiation caused by the ingestion of radioactive contamination. Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine and can present a significant health hazard by causing microscopic damage to living tissue. There are two main categories of ionizing radiation health effects. At high exposures it can cause "tissue" effects also called "deterministic" effects due the certainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit gray and resulting in acute radiation syndrome. For low level exposures there can be statistically elevated risks of radiation-induced cancer called "stochastic effects" due to the uncertainty of them happening conventionally indicated by the unit sievert. Fundamental to radiation protection is the avoidance or reduction of dose using the simple protective measures of time distance and shielding. The duration of exposure should be limited to that necessary the distance from the source of radiation should be maximized and the source shielded wherever possible. To measure personal dose uptake in occupational or emergency exposure for external radiation personal dosimeters are used and for internal dose to due to ingestion of radioactive contamination bioassay techniques are applied. For radiation protection and dosimetry assessment the International Commission on Radiation Protection ICRP and International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements ICRU publish recommendations and data which is used to calculate the biological effects on the human body of certain levels of radiation and thereby advise acceptable dose uptake limits.
