# 									New U.S. Embassy in Niamey Awarded Global Best Project by Engineering News-Record							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

September 30, 2022

Engineering News-Record (ENR), a leading construction industry news magazine, named the U.S. Embassy in Niamey, Niger, as a Global Best Project in the Government Building category. U.S. Embassy Niamey was recognized alongside other global projects that exemplify outstanding design and construction. ENR will officially present the award at the ENR Global Best Project Awards ceremony in December 2022.

The Niamey Embassy represents the best of U.S. architecture, engineering, and technology and sets a new standard for the design of diplomatic campuses overseas. The project, completed in 2022, is a showcase example of the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations’ (OBO) commitment to secure, resilient, and sustainable practices. Completed in phases, the project provides modern, functional facilities that serve as Mission Niger’s diplomatic platform. Miller Hull of Portland (Seattle) was the design architect and B.L. Harbert was the design-build contractor with Page as architect of record. The campus incorporates multiple energy conservation strategies including photovoltaic arrays that produce up to 750kWH, shading screens and canopies that reduce solar heat gain by approximately 60 percent, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. A battery energy storage system (BESS), the Department’s first ever, complements the embassy’s photovoltaic system by maximizing the site’s use and storage of solar power.

Since the start of the Department’s Capital Security Construction Program in 1999, OBO has completed 171 new diplomatic facilities and has more than 50 active projects in design or construction worldwide.

OBO provides safe, secure, functional, and resilient facilities that represent the U.S. government to the host nation and that support U.S. diplomats in advancing U.S. foreign policy objectives abroad. For further information, please contact OBO External Affairs at OBO-EA@state.gov or visit the Overseas Building Operations website.

ROBERT LEE BROWN,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

JAIME QUINTANILLA;

THOMAS B. DOHERTY,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:96-CV-367-BA

- - - - - - - - - -

October 24, 1997

Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Robert Lee Brown, Texas prisoner # 637904, appeals the

dismissal of his section 1983 claim on grounds of failure to

state a claim. We AFFIRM.

Brown has not alleged “‘a chronology of events from which

retaliation may plausibly be inferred.’” Woods v. Smith, 60 F.3d

1161, 1166 (5th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 800

(1996),(quoting Cain v. Lane, 857 F.2d 1139, 1143 n.6 (7th Cir.
No. 97-10323

-2-

1988). Other than his conclusory allegations, Brown presents no

facts indicating a retaliatory animus for Doherty’s search of his

cell or the disciplinary proceeding against him. Bald assertions

of retaliation are not enough to support a section 1983 claim. 

Id.

Brown is not entitled to relief relative to the dismissal of

his claims against appellees Clendennen and Quintanilla because

he has not adverted to them in his briefs. See Grant v. Cuellar,

59 F.3d 523, 524-25 (5th Cir. 1995). 

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

The United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs predicts 9.7 billion people will sit down every day to the global dinner table by 2050. If this prediction is correct, the world is going to need more crops, more livestock, and more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices.

# 									Joint Statement by Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Kamikawa Yoko, and Republic of Korea (ROK) Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin							

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson

December 20, 2023

The text of the following joint statement was released by the Governments of the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.

*Begin Text*

The United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea strongly condemn the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) December 17 and 18 (local time) ballistic missile launches, including an intercontinental ballistic missile. The DPRK’s continued provocations pose a grave threat to the Korean Peninsula, the region, and international peace and security, while undermining the global non-proliferation regime. The unannounced launches also threatened the safety of civil aviation and maritime traffic in the region.

These most recent ballistic missile launches are yet again blatant violations of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions and serve as a reminder of the need for all countries to fully implement DPRK-related UN Security Council resolutions that prohibit the DPRK from acquiring technologies and materials to advance its unlawful missile program. We urge the DPRK to abide by relevant UN Security Council resolutions and immediately cease all activities that violate them.

The United States reiterates that its commitments to defend the ROK and Japan are ironclad and backed by the full range of capabilities, including nuclear. The three countries welcome the full activation of a real-time DPRK missile warning data sharing mechanism as well as the joint establishment of a multi-year trilateral exercise plan.

The United States, Japan, and the ROK stand together in opposition to the DPRK’s continued development of its unlawful weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs. We reiterate how the DPRK’s human rights violations and abuses are inextricably linked with the DPRK’s unlawful WMD and ballistic missile advancements. We will continue to work closely with the international community to block the DPRK’s illicit revenue generation funding its unlawful WMD and ballistic missile programs through the exploitation of overseas workers and malicious cyber activities. We deplore the DPRK regime’s decision to divert scarce resources from the people in North Korea to its weapons programs.

Together with the international community, we call on the DPRK to stop conducting further provocations and accept our call for engaging in substantive dialogue without preconditions.

On the margins of the I2U2 Business Forum in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Under Secretary of State Jose W. Fernandez welcomed the Joint Secretary of the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dammu Ravi signing a letter expressing the Indian Government’s intention to join the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM4C). The United States and the United Arab Emirates launched AIM4C in November 2021.  AIM4C seeks to increase investment in and support for climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation. To date, the AIM4C initiative has successfully increased these investments to more than 8 billion U.S. dollars globally. With today’s announcement, India joins the more than 275 partners, including 42 governments, who are working to collectively advance AIM4C’s mission by supporting investment in climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation.

# 									U.S. Canada Air Quality Agreement (AQA)							

Office of Environmental Quality

The United States and Canada committed to addressing transboundary air pollution issues in the 1991 Air Quality Agreement (AQA), a bilateral executive agreement. The AQA established a framework for addressing shared concerns relating to transboundary air pollution, and in the first annex to the agreement, set out objectives for each country to reduce emissions leading to acidic deposition. An additional annex to the Agreement addressed Scientific Cooperation, and in 1997 the Parties signed a “Commitment to Develop a Joint Plan of Action for Addressing Transboundary Air Pollution” to jointly address the shared problems of ground-level ozone and particulate matter (PM). While science assessment activities were under way to better understand transboundary PM issues, the Parties moved ahead in 2000 to establish an annex addressing ground-level ozone in the eastern border region.

Both Parties have made excellent progress in achieving reductions in emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the two major pollutants leading to acidic deposition. Since 2000, the Parties also have made good progress in reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and further reducing emissions of NOx, to address ground-level ozone in the border region.

In 2007, the United States and Canada achieved the emissions reduction targets laid out in both the acid rain and ozone annexes, and these emissions have continued to decrease in the subsequent years. These emissions reductions have led to lower levels of acid rain and ground-level ozone, as well as decreased PM. Because of the successful completion of the AQA’s initial targets, the two countries are currently working together to update the AQA.
