Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nomination of Leon E. Panetta: Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States, Senate One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on Nomination of Leon E. Panetta to Be Director, Office of Management and Budget, January 11, 1993 The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:36 a.m., in room SH-216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. John Glenn, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Glenn, Levin, Sasser, Lieberman, Dorgan, Roth, Cohen, and Cochran. Also Present: Senator Domenici. Staff Present: Doris Clanton, Mark Goldstein, David Plocher, Jane McFarland, Lorraine Lewis, Paul Ellis, Deborah Cohen (Senator Glenn), Susanne Marshall, Jeff Steger, and John Mercer (Senator Roth). OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR GLENN Chairman Glenn. The hearing will be in order. Good morning. Today the Committee on Governmental Affairs meets to consider the nomination of Leon Panetta to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget. As most of us here know, Mr. Panetta has distinguished himself in his 16 years as a Congressman from California's 16th District. He has served on the House Budget Committee since 1979 and has been its Chairman since 1988. His work on the Budget Committee in particular has earned him the respect of his colleagues and provided him a depth of knowledge that will be critical to President-elect Clinton in the years ahead. That Mr. Panetta, knowing so much about the details of the budget and the government, still agreed to be nominated for OMB may be admirable, but may be just a little bit crazy because Leon, in his years helping to negotiate a budget through the Congress and in the give and take over budgets between Congress and the White House, has seen firsthand how tough it is to be OMB Director. I have said frequently that I believe the job of OMB Director is, after the President, the second most powerful job in the executive branch of government, and Mr. Panetta will have a leading role in shaping national policy. As OMB Director, Mr. Panetta will recommend where every dollar of our $1.5 trillion budget is spent and will have a say in how each of the government's hundreds of programs are managed.

Book Synopsis Hard Choices by : Hillary Rodham Clinton
Download or read book Hard Choices written by Hillary Rodham Clinton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 907 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America’s 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future. “All of us face hard choices in our lives,” Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the center of world events. “Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.” In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted. Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars, and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harm’s way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden. By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, traveled nearly one million miles, and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications, and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of women, youth, and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day. Secretary Clinton’s descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer readers a master class in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use “smart power” to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world—one in which America remains the indispensable nation.
Book Synopsis Seeking Bipartisanship: My Life in Politics by : LaHood, Ray
Download or read book Seeking Bipartisanship: My Life in Politics written by LaHood, Ray and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty years since 1995 have seen their share of landmark events. Among them a contested presidential election result (2000), a terrorist attack on U.S. soil (2001), the beginning of a war in Iraq (2003), economic calamity (2008), the election and reelection of the nation's first African American president (2008, 2012), two changes in party control of the presidency, three changes in party control of the House (including the first Republican majority in 40 years as a result of the 1994 congressional elections), and five changes in party control of the Senate. Throughout these volatile times, one theme stands out: political polarization has characterized American politics, creating gridlock in Washington and breeding distrust of government among the nation's citizens. Few first-hand accounts from those who witnessed and participated in these events currently exist. Their experiences and evaluations of trends and events, however, not only help us understand the dynamics and impact of partisanship over two decades but also suggest possible remedies. This book provides a personal perspective from one of a very few individuals who served both in Congress and in a presidential Cabinet during these tumultuous times. LaHood's account covers his 14 years in Congress with 10 chapters centered on four pivotal events. The first relates to the "Gingrich Revolution" when Republicans seized control of the House in 1995. As a former staffer to House Republican leader Robert H. Michel, LaHood occupied a unique vantage point as his party won and eventually lost their majority amidst the intrigue of intraparty leadership battles and increasing confrontation between the two political parties. As the only elected Republican selected for President Obama's Cabinet, LaHood sought to bridge the partisan divide between the new Democratic administration and Republicans on Capitol Hill. It proved to be a struggle compounded by the president's governing style and Republican intransigence. President Obama's promise to govern in a bipartisan manner went unrealized for reasons LaHood addresses in this book. This book is an important volume for all political science and history collections focused on presidents, presidential administrations, Congress, political biography, and political partisanship. The book will also appeal to general readers and to political practitioners.
Book Synopsis American Government 3e by : Glen Krutz
Download or read book American Government 3e written by Glen Krutz and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.

Download or read book The Finish written by Mark Bowden and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller: The true behind-the-scenes story of the manhunt for the 9/11 mastermind is “a page-turner” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). From the author of Black Hawk Down and Hue 1968, this is a gripping account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden. With access to key sources, Mark Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and on the ground where the action unfolded. After masterminding the attacks of September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden managed to vanish. Over the next ten years, as Bowden shows, America found that its war with al Qaeda—a scattered group of individuals who were almost impossible to track—demanded an innovative approach. Step by step, Bowden describes the development of a new tactical strategy to fight this war—the fusion of intel from various agencies and on-the-ground special ops. After thousands of special forces missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, the right weapon to go after bin Laden had finally evolved. By spring 2011, intelligence pointed to a compound in Abbottabad; it was estimated that there was a 50/50 chance that Osama was there. Bowden shows how three strategies were mooted: a drone strike, a precision bombing, or an assault by Navy SEALs. In the end, the president had to make the final decision. It was time for the finish. “In-depth interviews with Obama and other insiders reveal a White House on edge, facing top-secret options, white-knuckle decisions, and unforeseen obstacles . . . Bowden weaves together accounts from Obama and top decision-makers for the full story behind the daring operation.” —Vanity Fair “The most accessible and satisfying book yet written on the climactic event in the United States’ long war against al Qaeda.” —San Francisco Chronicle
