Number range CHAPTER **U.S.-INDIA TRADE AND INVESTMENT**

In 2005, India was the 22^nd^ largest U.S. export market, taking 0.9
percent of total U.S. exports, and was our 18^th^ largest source of
imports, supplying 1.1 percent of total U.S. imports. Total bilateral
trade in goods in 2005 was worth \$26.7 billion and ran over 2.3:1 in
India\'s favor. We maintained our positive balance in our \$10.2 billion
bilateral services trade for 2005.

**The United States is India\'s largest trade and investment partner.**
U.S. exports are increasing significantly, and U.S. direct investment in
India is also on the rise.

> \- After years of stagnation, **U.S. merchandise exports to India**
> are growing dramatically. Exports were up 30 percent for 2005 compared
> to 2004, and up 24 percent for the first 9 months of 2006 compared to

Dear Representative Hare:

The undersigned national organizations are pleased to offer our strong
support for the Positive Behavior for Effective Schools Act of 2007. We
share your goals of enhancing student outcomes and improving school
climate through the promotion of school wide positive behavior supports
(PBS). The legislation provides a welcomed opportunity to strengthen the
education system by helping address student's social and emotional
barriers to learning.

As you well know, school wide positive behavior support initiatives help
reshape school climates into more conducive learning environments
appreciated by students, staff and school personnel. School wide
positive behavior supports help reduce discipline problems as well as
improve academic outcomes, including test scores. Your home state of
Illinois is a pioneer in creating a statewide comprehensive PBS
initiative, with implementation in about 600 public schools and research
demonstrating its support for school success.

The Positive Behavior for Effective Schools Act will go a long way
towards fostering effective learning environments. It gives schools the
tools and opportunity to change how schools respond to students,
reinforce desired behaviors and eliminate inadvertent reinforcements for
problem behavior to help realize the goals of academic and social
success for all students. Specifically, the legislation allows and
encourages schools and localities to support PBS as well as supports
research, technical assistance and related school reform activities that
improve school climate. Additionally, the legislation would establish a
new office within the Department of Education that would help coordinate
and administer activities assisting specialized instructional support
personnel who provide a critical role in the link between social and
academic outcomes for students.

Once again we applaud you for introducing this important legislation and
look forward to working with you to secure its enactment.

United Nations Oil-for-Food Accountability Act

(Contact Lance Walker in Rep. Flake's office -- 5-2635)

**Summary**

-   The bill would require the withholding of a portion of United States
    assessed contributions to the United Nations until the President
    certifies that the United Nations is cooperating in the
    investigation of the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.

-   Until the President certifies to Congress that the UN is meeting
    criteria spelled out in the bill, the U.S. would withhold ten
    percent assessed contributions in 2005 and twenty percent of
    assessed contributions in 2006.

-   The bill would withhold the *assessed* funding because it goes to
    the general budget of the UN---as opposed to voluntary funding that
    goes to programs like UNICEF and peace-keeping operations.

-   The Presidential certification criteria contained in the bill are
    the following:

1.  The UN has procedures in place to provide GAO access to all
    documents related to the Oil-for-Food program so that the
    Comptroller General may make nationally mandated reviews of UN
    operations;

2.  The UN Secretary General has formally confirmed that the UN will not
    assert inviolability of UN papers and internal records related to
    the program;

3.  The Secretary General has authorized the release of UN documents,
    including those in the possession of contractors, to law enforcement
    officials of any member state;

4.  The UN has waived diplomatic immunity of UN officials from the
    judicial process in the U.S. for civil or criminal acts under
    federal or state law;

5.  Any UN official who benefited from program has reimbursed the full
    amount that was received improperly.

-   The UN Oil-for-Food Accountability Act had 81 cosponsors in the
    108^th^ Congress.

    -   Senator Ensign of Nevada will introduce companion legislation in
        the Senate (S. 2389 in 108th).

**Background**

-   The General Accounting Office estimates that the former Iraqi regime
    received \$10.1 billion in illegal revenues from the oil-for-food
    program.

-   The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations estimates over
    \$20 billion in illegal revenues.

-   As many as 270 UN and foreign officials, business people, and
    political entities may have benefited from the scheme.

-   Members who have traveled to Iraq have seen the palaces that Saddam
    built with the money he received from the program while his people
    went without food, basic medicine and other necessities.

-   Key beneficiaries under the scam are from countries with permanent
    seats on the UN Security Council.
**§21.7603 Travel expenses.**

The Department of Veterans Affairs will not pay for any costs of travel
to and from the place of counseling for anyone who requests counseling
under 10 U.S.C. chapter 1606 or for whom counseling is required under
that chapter. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 111)

Wildlife Use of Agricultural Drains in the Imperial Valley, California

Allen Hurlbert, ed.\
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

INTRODUCTION

The Imperial Valley, located in southeastern California, is part of the
Salton Trough which also includes the Coachella and Mexicali Valleys and
the Salton Sea. The Imperial Valley exists geographically within the
arid Colorado desert and receives an average annual precipitation of
only 3.2 to 3.6 inches (CRWQCB 1994). Despite its aridity, the Imperial
Valley is one of the most important agricultural areas in California.
Beginning around 1901, water was first diverted from the Colorado River
into the valley for agricultural purposes. Uncontrolled flooding in 1905
resulted in the diversion of the entire flow of the river into the
Cahuilla Basin for 2 years, creating the Salton Sea. As agricultural use
in the Imperial Valley increased, the valley\'s irrigation system
evolved into the elaborate network of canals and drains managed by the
Imperial Irrigation District that exists today.

A combination of the Imperial Valley\'s alkaline soils and the presence
of salts and trace elements in the irrigation water makes salinity a
potential threat to agricultural productivity. To prevent salt
accumulation (that is, to ensure that the volume of salts introduced by
irrigation does not exceed that lost by plant uptake, deep percolation,
and surface drainage), a subsurface drainage system was devised that
discharges salt and mineral laden water which has percolated through the
soil into subsurface tile drains. In addition to this subsurface tile
water, surface drains carry tailwater and operational discharge into the
Salton Sea either directly or via the Alamo or New Rivers. The quantity
and quality of water in the irrigation drains varies with the type and
extent of irrigation practices on adjacent fields which, in turn, varies
on a daily and seasonal basis. Thus, agricultural drains are subject to
large fluctuations in the amount of flow, particularly at their upstream
ends which may occasionally be dry.

Although the system of irrigation drains is an artificial one, it
constitutes a unique mini-ecosystem in the Imperial Valley, providing
habitat for many different kinds of wildlife. The drains themselves are
used by aquatic invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and waterbirds;
reptiles, insects, and birds forage or seek shelter along the drain
banks. In recent years, the State Water Resources Control Board has
called for the development of a water conservation plan which would
ultimately reduce flow in some irrigation drains.

The purpose of this study was to document wildlife

Distribution and Mobilization of Dissolved Selenium in Ground Water of
the Irrigated Grand and Uncompahgre Valleys, Western Colorado

Winfield G. Wright, U.S. Geological Survey\
David L. Butler, U.S. Geological Survey

ABSTRACT

Distribution of dissolved selenium in ground water of the irrigated
Grand and Uncompahgre Valleys is affected by the aqueous geochemical
environment of the shallow ground-water system composed of alluvium and
shale residuum. Selenium concentrations are as high as 1,300 micrograms
per liter in water from shallow wells. The highest concentrations of
dissolved selenium were in water from wells completed in alluvium
overlying the Mancos Shale of Cretaceous Age, and the lowest
concentrations were in water from wells completed in terrace deposits on
the western side of the Uncompahgre Valley and in water from wells
completed in Mancos Shale residuum. Factors controlling the mobilization
of dissolved selenium in the Grand and Uncompahgre Valleys could include
oxidation/reduction, adsorption/desorption, and (or) ion exchange.
Infiltration of irrigation water provides oxidizing conditions for
mobilization of selenium from alluvium and shale residuum and transport
to streams and irrigation drains tributary to the Uncompahgre, Gunnison,
and Colorado Rivers.

# Summary of Flatness Measurements of Blade cooling channels

A batch of 18 CMS Forward Pixel Disk blade-cooling channels was machined
to final dimensions as shown in Fig 1.

> Flatness measurements of the parts were done with the OGP CMM for all
> channels. A wide side of the channel is "top" and narrow side is
> "bottom". The coordinate system was set on each side of the channel
> relative to mounting holes as shown in Fig. 1. A Z = 0 plane was set
> measuring three groups of 3 points around the mounting holes. A grid
> of points on the top and bottom sides of the channel with step of 4 mm
> along X and 3 mm along Y was used to measure the surface flatness
> (Fig. 2). At each grid point the X, Y and Z coordinates were recorded.
> Obtained Z-coordinates are displayed as function of X- coordinate
> (along the channel) in Fig. 3 for one of the channels. Examples of
> distributions for surface Z-coordinates in slices in X along Y
> coordinate and 3-dimensional surface presentation are displayed at
> Fig. 4 and 5. As measure of non-flatness we take maximum of difference
> between positive and negative deviations in Z from the Z = 0 plane for
> each channel, Δ = Z~max~ -- Z~min~ (Fig.3). The values of the measured
> non-flatness (warp) are presented in Table and displayed in a
> histogram in Fig. 6.
>
> All the parts are warped in the middle and three of them more than Δ =
> 100 microns. It is suggested that parts with non-flatness more than Δ
> = 70 microns (11 out of 18) should be flattened.

Additional analysis of the accuracy of positions of the mounting holes
compared to their nominal positions showed good accuracy of machining
which is better than 25 microns as shown by distribution of maximum
deviations from nominal position in Fig.7.

Abstract:

Self assembled monolayers can be used to produce surfaces with different
properties than the substrate itself. Self assembled monolayers of
decyltriethoxysilane and octadecyltriethoxysilane were formed on Al 2024
creating a hydrophobic surface. The surfaces were characterized by
contact angle, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and infrared
spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 0.5 M NaCl was
used to evaluate their corrosion protection properties. The role of the
monolayer in corrosion protection and aluminum oxide formation will be
discussed with special focus given to the hydrophobic nature of the
surface and the chemical bonding of the siloxane to the surface. Future
applications of self assembled monolayers for surface modification and
corrosion protection will be presented.

PHILLIP D. SCHERTZING, Ph.D.

Director,

Global Community Security Institute

Michigan State University

1407 S. Harrison Rd., 346 Nisbet Bldg.

East Lansing, MI 48823

Office Phone: (517-432-3156)

<schertzi@msu.edu>

Named as director of the Global Community Security Institute at Michigan
State University (MSU) in July 2002 with a dual appointment as an
academic specialist and instructor in the MSU School of Criminal
Justice, I also serve as adjunct faculty for the Academic Center for
Public Health Preparedness at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Following a twenty-five-year career with the Michigan Department of
State Police (MSP), I retired in June 2002 with the rank of inspector as
the assistant commanding officer of the Emergency Management Division.
In that role, I also served as assistant deputy state director of
emergency management and homeland security. Recognized as the
"unofficial" departmental historian for my published books and articles
preserving the historical heritage of the Michigan State Police, I am
currently conducting research for a new book tracing the historical
evolution of civil defense, emergency management and homeland security
in Michigan and the U.S. from World War I to the War in Iraq.

My education includes a B.A. degree and Master of Management degree from
Aquinas College (Grand Rapids, Michigan) and a Ph.D. in American History
from Michigan State University. Specialized training includes graduation
from the 191^st^ session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico,
Virginia, and completion of the Professional Development Series of
on-line emergency management courses offered by FEMA-EMI. This summer I
plan to complete the application and testing process for recognition by
the International Association of Emergency Managers as a Certified
Emergency Manager (CEM).

My active professional memberships and affiliations include the National
Emergency Management Association (NEMA); the International Association
of Emergency Managers (IAEM); the Michigan Emergency Management
Association (MEMA); the state and national chapters of the FBI National
Academy Associates (FBINAA); the Great Lakes Partnership for
Infrastructure Security and Interdependence; and the Institute for
Strategic Public-Private Security Standards (ISPPSS).

MSU is currently in the process of developing on-line courses in
Homeland Security and Emergency Management for academic credit at both
the graduate and undergraduate levels, and for non-credit professional
development certificates. My goal in attending this conference is to
learn and discuss ideas pertaining to course curriculum, on-line
delivery, and program marketing.

**§4.123 Neuritis, cranial or peripheral.**

Neuritis, cranial or peripheral, characterized by loss of reflexes,
muscle atrophy, sensory disturbances, and constant pain, at times
excruciating, is to be rated on the scale provided for injury of the
nerve involved, with a maximum equal to severe, incomplete, paralysis.
See nerve involved for diagnostic code number and rating. The maximum
rating which may be assigned for neuritis not characterized by organic
changes referred to in this section will be that for moderate, or with
sciatic nerve involvement, for moderately severe, incomplete paralysis.

**§4.124 Neuralgia, cranial or peripheral.**

Neuralgia, cranial or peripheral, characterized usually by a dull and
intermittent pain, of typical distribution so as to identify the nerve,
is to be rated on the same scale, with a maximum equal to moderate
incomplete paralysis. See nerve involved for diagnostic code number and
rating. Tic douloureux, or trifacial neuralgia, may be rated up to
complete paralysis of the affected nerve.

Media Advisory 24 October 2007

**Africa Partnership Station Set to Launch**

Vice Admiral James Winnefeld, Commander, U.S. 6^th^ Fleet, and Captain
John Nowell, Commodore for Africa Partnership Station (APS), will hold a
media availability to announce the launch of Africa Partnership Station
on Monday, 29 October at 1 p.m., aboard USS Fort McHenry (LSD 43),
during a visit to Naval Station Rota, Spain.

Africa Partnership Station is a concerted interagency and multinational
effort to promote maritime safety and security in Africa. With a joint
staff representing navies of more than a dozen African, European and
North American countries, APS will visit ports in Senegal, Liberia,
Ghana, Cameroon, Gabon, Sao Tome & Principe, and other African countries
to conduct training, complete humanitarian projects and build
partnerships among participating nations.

The APS agenda is not limited to Navy-related training alone. From
leadership to seamanship, and from personnel to port security, APS
events will be tailored to the unique needs of each African nation that
have been developed from an analysis and prioritization of needs in
consultation with African partners.

Utilizing the USS Fort McHenry and USS Swift (HSV-2), APS staff will
make repeated visits to each nation, taking aboard ship riders for at
sea training. Key U.S. agencies, including the National Oceanographic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and several non-governmental
organizations will also use the APS platform to further specific
scientific and humanitarian projects.
