Senate Report No. 183 of the 42nd Congress May 1872 was a landmark investigation by the Senate Committee on Investigation and Retrenchment examining U. S. Government arms sales to French agents during the 1870–1871 Franco-Prussian War. The investigation concluded that while arms were sold they were not illegal and the proceeds were accounted for clearing the government of wrongdoing. Following the American Civil War the U. S. Had a massive surplus of arms. During the Franco-Prussian War French agents purchased tens of thousands of rifles including Springfields and 400 cartridges per gun from the U. S. Government.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . hardcover

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.

186351369Hartford: J.M. Scofield & Co. State Printers 1863. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blind-embossed pebble-grain burgundy cloth with gilt spine lettering and medallion. 384pp. Very good. Spine of otherwise-lovely binding is quite sunned; tight and internally near fine with occasional touch of foxing. Handsome copy of this in-depth collection of daily proceedings of this institution opening with May 6 and closing with July 11. For anyone wanting to study the speeches resolutions motions acts anything and everything that comes before this legislative branch the Senate proceedings are as in-the-weeds as they come. This special copy bears a fine presentation inscription in brown ink on the front flyleaf from Connecticut's lieutenant governor to his eldest son: "Arthur H. Averill / Danbury Nov 24 AD 1863 / With the affection of / Roger Averill." Roger Averill 1809-83 was a notable Connecticut attorney and politician and served as that state's Civil War lieutenant governor from 1862 to 1865 under Governor William B. Buckingham. Arthur H. Averill 1845-94 was the eldest of his six children an attorney who served the city of Danbury. There is a great deal of Civil War content of every sort major and minor buried in these pages. After page 358 the journal switches to "The Executive Journal of the Senate of the State of Connecticut" with second title page opening with mention of "His Honor Roger Averill President." Since Connecticut's lieutenant governor also serves as President of the Senate Averill identified simply as "The President" appears frequently throughout this volume. Here and there are occasional light pencil margin squiggles no doubt where recipient Arthur Averill noted items of interest. J.M. Scofield & Co., State Printers hardcover

200685185Washington DC: United States Senate 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good/No dust jacket issued. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 11 inches. 148 4 pages. Footnotes. Blacked out portions/redactions. A study conducted by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that reviewed U.S. intelligence on the existence of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs Iraq's ties to terrorist groups Saddam Hussein's threat to stability and security in the region and his violations of human rights. The Senate Report on Iraqi WMD Intelligence formally the Report of the Select Committee on Intelligence on the U.S. Intelligence Community's Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq was the report by the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence concerning the U.S. intelligence community's assessments of Iraq during the time leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The report which was released on July 9 2004 identified numerous failures in the intelligence-gathering and -analysis process. The report found that these failures led to the creation of inaccurate materials that misled both government policy makers and the American public. The Committee's nine Republicans and eight Democrats agreed on the report's major conclusions and unanimously endorsed its findings. They disagreed though on the impact that statements on Iraq by senior members of the Bush administration had on the intelligence process. The second phase of the investigation addressing the way senior policymakers used the intelligence was published on May 25 2007. Portions of the phase II report not released at that time include the review of public statements by U.S. government leaders prior to the war and the assessment of the activities of Douglas Feith and the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans. The report's "additional views"<br /> The Republican and Democratic members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted unanimously to approve the finished report. There were however significant areas of disagreement with those disagreements being expressed in the form of "additional views" attached at the end of the report proper. In the first "additional view" attached to the report Chairman Pat Roberts R-KS joined by Senators Orrin Hatch R-UT and Christopher Bond R-MO presents two conclusions that Democratic members of the Committee were unwilling to include in the report even though according to Roberts "there was no dispute with the underlying facts." Those two conclusions related to the actions of Joseph Wilson the former ambassador who was sent to Niger in 2002 to investigate allegations that the Iraqi government was attempting to purchase "yellowcake" uranium presumably as part of an attempt to revive Iraq's nuclear weapons program. The two conclusions were that the plan to send Wilson to investigate the Niger allegation was suggested by Wilson's wife a CIA employee and that in his later public statements criticizing the Bush administration Wilson included information he had learned from press accounts misrepresenting it as firsthand knowledge. This additional view also discusses the question of pressure on analysts and recommends caution in implementing reforms in the intelligence community. Senators John D. Rockefeller D-WV the Committee's vice-chairman Carl Levin D-MI and Richard Durbin D-IL used their additional view to say that the report painted an incomplete picture because the Committee had put off until phase two of the investigation the key question of "how intelligence on Iraq was used or misused by Administration officials in public statements and reports." Because of this they said "the Committee's phase one report fails to fully explain the environment of intense pressure in which Intelligence Community officials were asked to render judgments on matters relating to Iraq when policy officials had already forcefully stated their own conclusions in public." The third additional view in the report is by Senator Saxby Chambliss R-GA with Senators Orrin Hatch R-UT Trent Lott R-MS Chuck Hagel R-NE and Christopher Bond R-MO. It focuses on the issues of information sharing and Human Intelligence HUMINT and rebuts the allegation of "pressure" contained in the additional view by Senators Rockefeller Levin and Durbin. Senator Olympia Snow R-ME wrote in her additional view that the Committee's report revealed poor management and a lack of accountability in the intelligence community and she called for strong reforms.

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
