# 									Democratic Republic of the Congo National Day							

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

June 30, 2023

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend best wishes to all Congolese people and the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the 63rd anniversary of your independence.

Democracy is the bedrock of our bilateral relationship. The right of every person to vote in free and fair elections is critical. The protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms is equally important in any democratic society to foster plurality and progress. The United States is therefore committed to working with the Congolese people for a free and fair election held successfully and peacefully in December.

Our partnership is strengthened as we work together to advance our mutual values. The United States is also committed to helping the Congolese people achieve peace and security and to assist vulnerable communities. Respecting human rights and advancing our shared goals, including health, education, economic growth, and conservation in the Congo Basin, will help ensure the prosperity of the people of the DRC.

My sincere congratulations as you celebrate this important day. In the year ahead, our partnership with the DRC will continue to strengthen as we work together to achieve a better future for both of our countries.

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

October 7, 2021

The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations celebrates the groundbreaking of the new office annex for the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. Chargé d’Affaires Michael Heath and Director-General Witchu Vejjajiva of the Department of American and South Pacific Affairs, Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs were joined by other distinguished guests for the ceremony. The new project, located on the site of the original Embassy campus across from the current Chancery, will support the continued growth of U.S.–Thai diplomatic, security, and commercial relations and strengthen ties with the Thai people. The new building will modernize the U.S. Embassy’s platform for providing consular services and conducting diplomacy and will serve as a physical manifestation of our longstanding alliance with the Kingdom of Thailand.

SHoP Architects of New York is the design architect. The construction contract was awarded to B.L. Harbert International of Birmingham, Alabama. As a result of this project, an estimated $125 million will be invested in the local economy and an estimated workforce of more than 2,000 U.S., Thai, and third-country nationals will be employed during construction.

Since the start of the Department’s Capital Security Construction Program in 1999, OBO has completed 168 new diplomatic facilities and has 50 active projects either in design or under construction worldwide.

OBO provides safe, secure, functional, and resilient facilities that represent the U.S. government to the host nation and that advance U.S. foreign policy objectives abroad.

UNITED STATES of America, and various Agencies of the Government of the United States, to include but not limited to those named defendant, *47United States Central Intelligence Agency, United States Department of Justice, United States Bureau of Prisons, United States Board of Parole, United States Office of the Comptroller, the State of Florida, the State of New York, the N.Y.S. County District Attorney's Association, Defendants-Appellees.

No. 00-6154.

United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Feb. 15, 2001.

Clarence Duke McGann, Bronx, NY, pro se.

Lisa R. Zornberg and Gideon A. Schor, Assistant United States Attorneys; Mary Jo White, United States Attorney, Southern District of New York, New York, NY, for appellees.

Present JOHN M. WALKER, JR., Chief Judge, PARKER and KATZMANN, Circuit Judges.

SUMMARY ORDER

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of said district court be and it hereby is AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-appellant Clarence Duke McGann appeals from a November 30, 1999 judgment of the district court granting dismissal pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) (lack of subject matter jurisdiction) and 12(b)(6) (failure to state a claim). In his complaint McGann sought an order, *inter alia,*(i) declaring his 1971 extradition from Jamaica to the United States for parole violation, along with his subsequent conviction for the violation, null and void, and (ii) overturning his 1982 and 1983 narcotics and weapons possessions convictions in New York and Florida, respectively. On appeal, McGann argues that the district court erred in dismissing his action without first holding an evidentiary hearing.

The factual bases underlying McGann’s suit are difficult to decipher from a reading of his complaint and his supporting papers. Nonetheless, we understand McGann to allege that the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States conspired with other federal and state agencies to cause his extradition from Jamaica, his subsequent imprisonment for parole violation, and his state court convictions. JA 11-18.

Following the government’s motion to dismiss, the district court forwarded the matter to Magistrate Judge Pitman. In a thorough report and recommendation dated November 5, 1999, Judge Pitman recommended that the case be dismissed. The district court adopted the report and recommendation in full in an order dated November 29,1999.

For the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation, we hereby AFFIRM the judgment of the district court dismissing the action.
