# 									New Partnership with Vietnam to Explore Semiconductor Supply Chain Opportunities							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

September 11, 2023

The U.S. State Department is partnering with the Government of Vietnam to explore opportunities to grow and diversify the global semiconductor ecosystem under the International Technology Security and Innovation (ITSI) Fund, created by the CHIPS Act of 2022. This partnership will help create a more resilient, secure, and sustainable global semiconductor value chain.

Vietnam shows promise as a partner in ensuring the semiconductor supply chain is diverse and resilient. Products ranging from vehicles to medical devices increasingly rely on semiconductors as the building blocks of today’s economy. By building on Vietnam’s existing strengths in assembly, testing, and packaging. This collaboration strives to identify new opportunities that attract industry investments and expand the technical workforces in both countries.

The partnership is beginning with a review of Vietnam’s current semiconductor ecosystem, regulatory framework, and workforce and infrastructure needs. The outcome of this review will inform potential future collaboration on developing this critical sector.

In August 2022, President Biden signed the CHIPS Act of 2022, a U.S. law that appropriated new funding to boost domestic manufacturing and research of semiconductors in the United States. The CHIPS Act of 2022 created the ITSI Fund, which provides the U.S. Department of State with $500 million ($100 million per year over five years, starting in Fiscal Year 2023) to promote the development and adoption of secure and trustworthy telecommunications networks and ensure semiconductor supply chain security and diversification through new programs and initiatives with our allies and partners.

#### Trumbower Estate

*M. Paul Smith,*for petitioners.

*High, Swartz, Childs & Roberts,*for executrix.

January 19, 1955.

Knight, P. J. (specially presiding),

Margaret and Susan Pusey are minors who are parties in interest in the above estate.

Acting by their guardians they filed a petition setting forth the following facts which at the present state of the pleadings we must assume as true: (1) That Margaret P. Wismer is executrix of the will of the testatrix; (2) that executrix has filed an inventory in which she did not include the following assets of decedent’s estate:

A. Assets of Flora K. Trumbower of a value of $12,000, which were acquired from decedent either by *378Margaret P. Wismer or her husband at a time when decedent was incompetent and when Mrs. Wismer and her husband stood in a relation of trust and confidence to decedent.

B. Funds of decedent to an amount of not less than $17,000 acquired monthly for several years by Margaret P. Wismer under the same conditions as set forth under A.

C. Entry in the inventory filed of the item: “Possible claim against Arthur J. Wismer, decedent’s agent under power of attorney — Value unknown” when the executrix knew the amount of the obligations of Arthur J. Wismer to decedent.

On this petition a citation was awarded commanding the executrix to show cause why she should not file a supplemental inventory containing the above items. To this citation the executrix has filed preliminary objections.

Whether exceptions can be taken to an inventory, or to accomplish the same purpose, a fiduciary can be compelled to file a supplement thereto has been a question involved in some doubt. In several of the lower courts it has been held proper practice. See December 1954 issue of the Fiduciary Review. In October of 1954 the Supreme Court, in the case of Rogers Estate,. 379 Pa. 494 (1954), held that the filing of exceptions to an inventory was improper and that such alleged assets as are contemplated by the present petition must await the audit of executrix’s account for determination as to their validity. What was said in the above case as to exceptions to the inventory in our opinion applies with equal force to a citation to show cause why a supplemental inventory should not be filed.

In reference to item C the writer of this opinion has some personal knowledge. He presided over a court of common pleas while Arthur J. Wismer underwent *379under oath a searching examination as to his assets. After hearing that examination it is obvious to the writer that no matter what the amount of the obligations of Arthur J. Wismer to decedent’s estate maybe, their value at this time is unknown. To put any amount in the inventory might lead to a loss to the estate.

And now, January 19, 1955, the preliminary objections are sustained and the citation discharged without prejudice.

Subject: Anadarko Permit and Modification Processing Priority

Hey Kelly,

As we discussed in the meeting yesterday Anadarko would like the following priority to the air permit

applications and modification EPA currently has for Anadarko:

1. Discoverer Spiri t (OCS

- EPA

- R4005

- M3) modification

2. Bob Douglas PSD/Title V air permit application

3. BlackHawk and BlackHornet PSD/Title V air permit applications

We understand that although the BlackHawk and BlackHornet (BH/BH) applications were received by

EPA prior to the others this will put BH/BH behind them.

Thanks,

Sara Carlson

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

 

No. 02-41613

Conference Calendar

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

BENJAMIN GONZALEZ-ALANIS,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. L-02-CR-863-ALL

--------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Benjamin Gonzalez-Alanis (“Gonzalez”) appeals the sentence

imposed following his conviction for illegal reentry into the

United States after commission of an aggravated felony. He

argues that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2), which was used to enhance his

sentence based on his prior aggravated felony conviction, is

unconstitutional. 

Gonzalez acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by

Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998), but
No. 02-41613

-2-

asserts that the decision has been cast into doubt by Apprendi v.

New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 490 (2000). He seeks to preserve his

argument for further review. 

Apprendi did not overrule Almendarez-Torres. See Apprendi,

530 U.S. at 489-90; United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984

(5th Cir. 2000). This court must follow Almendarez-Torres

“unless and until the Supreme Court itself determines to overrule

it.” Dabeit, 231 F.3d at 984 (internal quotation marks and

citation omitted).

Gonzalez further argues that a conflict exists between the

district court’s oral pronouncement of sentence and the written

judgment because the written judgment contains a condition of

supervised release prohibiting the possession of a dangerous

weapon while the court did not mention this prohibition at the

sentencing hearing. His argument is foreclosed by this court’s

decision in United States v. Torres-Aguilar, 352 F.3d 934, 937-38

(5th Cir. 2003). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

                         CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCKHOLDERS


FREMONT, CALIF., U.S.A. - NOVEMBER 3, 1998 -- GateField-TM- Corporation (OTCBB:
GATE) (the "Company") has been notified by Idanta Partners Ltd. and certain
other affiliated holders of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
of their request that the Company redeem on November 3, 1998 an aggregate of
981,997 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at a redemption price
equal to $4.5825 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon in cash for
an aggregate redemption price of approximately $4.6 million.  The holders of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock became entitled to request redemption of
their shares upon the delisting of the Company's Common Stock from the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.   The Board of Directors of the Company has designated a
special committee composed of Messrs. James R. Fiebiger and Horst G. Sandfort to
review the request for redemption and to assess whether the redemption is
permitted by applicable law.  The Company intends to meet its obligation for
redemption only to the extent it is permitted by applicable law.  If all 981,997
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are redeemed, an aggregate of
18,003 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will remain outstanding. 
If the holders of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock elect to redeem the
remaining 18,003 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as permitted
under the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate"),
and the Company redeems such remaining shares, then the holders of the Company's
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock would have the right, under the
