Additional Information. Appendix Some damp stains noted. Project Rio Blanco was an underground nuclear test that took place on May 17 1973 in Rio Blanco County Colorado approximately 36 miles 58 km northwest of Rifle. Three 33-kiloton nuclear devices were detonated nearly simultaneously in a single emplacement well at depths of 5838 6230 and 6689 feet 1779 1899 and 2039 m below ground level. The tests were conducted in fine-grain low-permeability sandstone lenses at the base of the Fort Union Formation and the upper portion of the Mesaverde Formation. This was the third and final natural-gas-reservoir stimulation test in the Plowshare program which was designed to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy. The two previous tests were Project Gasbuggy in New Mexico and Project Rulison in Colorado. The United States Atomic Energy Commission conducted the test in partnership with CER Geonuclear Corporation and Continental Oil Company. A placard erected in 1976 now marks the site where the test was conducted. The site is accessible via a dirt road Rio Blanco County Route 29. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fraking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity and a variety of geological studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. As part of ongoing arms control efforts both programs came to be controlled by a variety of agreements. Most notable among these is the 1976 Treaty on Underground Nuclear Explosions for Peaceful Purposes PNE Treaty. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996 prohibits all nuclear explosions regardless of whether they are for peaceful purposes or not. Since that time the topic has been raised several times often as a method of asteroid impact avoidance. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

POW/MIA's; Report of the Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs United States Senate 103D Congress 1st Session Report 103-1

199382711Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. xii 1223 5 pages. Footnotes. Some cover wear. The POW/MIA issue has proven almost as emotional and controversial as the Vietnam War itself. The Committee has sought to transform this troubled atmosphere by encouraging all participants in the debate to join forces in an objective search for the truth. Because the overriding hope and objective of the Committee was to identify information that would lead to the rescue or release of one or more live U.S. POWs the Committee gave first priority to investigation of issues related to our most recent war the conflict in Vietnam. Nevertheless substantial resources were devoted to seeking and reviewing information concerning Americans missing from World War II the Korean War and the Cold War. The Committee has operated on a nonpartisan basis with a nonpartisan staff directed by Members equally divided between the two parties. The Committee sought the guidance of family members activists veterans' organizations and many others about how to conduct the investigation where to focus whom to consult and what issues to address. Former POWs were contacted and asked to share their knowledge and all previous inquiries and investigations on the subject were reviewed. The Committee requested and received access to the records of a wide range of U.S. Government agencies including intelligence agencies and the White House. Unlike previous investigators we refused to accept "national security" as grounds for denying information and obtained assurances from the highest levels of government that no relevant information would be withheld. The Select Committee was created because of the need to reestablish trust between our government and our people on this most painful and emotional of issues. It was created to investigate and tell publicly the complete story about what our government knows and has known and what it is doing and has done on behalf of our POW/MIAs. It was created to examine the possibility that unaccounted for Americans might have survived in captivity after POW repatriations at Odessa in World War II after Operation Big Switch in Korea in 1953 after Cold War incidents and particularly after Operation Homecoming in Vietnam in 1973. It was created to ensure that accounting for missing Americans will be a matter of highest national priority not only in word but in practice. It was created to encourage real cooperation from foreign governments. It was created in short to pursue the truth at home and overseas. Whether the Committee has succeeded in its assigned tasks will be a matter for the public and for history to judge. Clearly we cannot claim nor could we have hoped to have learned everything. We had neither the authority nor the resources to make case by case determinations with respect to the status of the missing. The job of negotiating conducting interviews visiting prisons excavating crash sites investigating live-sighting reports and evaluating archival materials can only be completed by the Executive branch. This job long frustrated by the intransigence of foreign governments will take time to complete notwithstanding the recent improvements in cooperation especially from Vietnam. The Committee takes considerable pride however in its contribution through oversight to improvements in the accountability process and in the record of information and accomplishment it leaves behind. That record includes the most rapid and extensive declassification of public files and documents on a single issue in American history. It includes a set of hearings and Committee files in which virtually every part of the POW/MIA controversy has been examined. It includes disclosure after disclosure about aspects of U.S. policy and actions that have never before been made public. It includes a rigorous public examination of relevant U.S. intelligence information. It includes an exposure of the activities of some private groups who have sought inexcusably to exploit the anguish of POW/MIA families for their own gain. It includes a contribution to changed policies that is reflected on the ground in Vietnam in the form of unprecedented access to prisons military bases government buildings documents photographs archives and material objects that bear on the fate of our missing servicemen. And it includes encouraging the Executive branch to establish a process of live-sighting response investigation and evaluation that is more extensive and professional than ever before. U. S.

Proceedings of the United States Senate in the Impeachment Trial of President William Jefferson Clinton

199946188Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1999. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. as new. 3121 total 4-volume set wraps footnotes. This four-volume set contains the full record of the U.S. Senate proceedings in the impeachment trial of President Clinton the only Presidential impeachment trial of the 20th century. Volume I contains preliminary proceedings; Volume II contains floor trial proceedings; Volume III contains depositions and affidavits; Volume IV contains statements of Senators regarding the impeachment trial of President Clinton. The impeachment of Bill Clinton occurred when Bill Clinton the 42nd president of the United States was impeached by the United States House of Representatives of the 105th United States Congress on December 19 1998 for "high crimes and misdemeanors". The House adopted two articles of impeachment against Clinton with the specific charges against Clinton being lying under oath and obstruction of justice. Two other articles had been considered but were rejected by House vote. Clinton's impeachment came after a formal House inquiry which had been launched on October 8 1998. The charges for which Clinton was impeached stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones. During pre-trial discovery in the lawsuit Clinton gave testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The catalyst for the president's impeachment was the Starr Report a September 1998 report prepared by Ken Starr Independent Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. Clinton was the second American president to be impeached the first being Andrew Johnson who was impeached in 1868. The approved articles of impeachment would be submitted to the United States Senate on January 7 1999. A trial in the Senate then began with Chief Justice William Rehnquist presiding. On February 12 Clinton was acquitted on both counts as neither received the necessary two-thirds majority vote of the senators present for conviction and removal from office—in this instance 67. On Article One 45 senators voted to convict while 55 voted for acquittal. On Article Two 50 senators voted to convict while 50 voted for acquittal. Clinton remained in office for the remainder of his second term. In April 1999 about two months after being acquitted by the Senate Clinton was cited by federal District Judge Susan Webber Wright for civil contempt of court for his "willful failure" to obey her orders to testify truthfully in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. For this Clinton was assessed a $90000 fine and the matter was referred to the Arkansas Supreme Court to see if disciplinary action would be appropriate. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
