# 									Liberia National Day							

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

July 26, 2022

On behalf of the United States of America, I would like to congratulate the people of Liberia on this momentous year, which sees both the bicentennial of the arrival of the first free Black American settlers in what would become Liberia, and the 175th anniversary of the republic.

Our intertwined histories are only part of what makes our relationship so special.  Equally important are our shared values – respect for democracy, human rights, and the environment.  We have worked together in recent years to fight COVID-19 and to develop innovative new ways to combat climate change.  Our economic partnership is growing stronger each year.

It has been our honor to celebrate the Liberian bicentennial with you this year.  May your Independence Day be a day of celebration for Liberia’s past accomplishments and its bright future.

#### LEGGETT et al. v. TODD et al.

Frankum, Judge.

This is the second appearance of this case in this court. See *Leggett v. Todd,*110 Ga. App. 41 (137 SE2d 742). Upon the retrial of the case the jury again returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the amount of the check sued on. Defendants made a motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict and a motion for a new trial on the general grounds which they amended by the addition of one special ground complaining of a portion of the charge of the court to the jury on the ground that it authorized the jury to base its verdict upon the defendants’ waiver of the plaintiff’s failure to secure a bona fide bid in accordance with the terms of the contract. This assignment of error is not meritorious. The only evidence introduced by the defendants was a copy of the circular or handbill advertising the sale and a copy of the contract between the plaintiffs and the defendants authorizing the plaintiffs to conduct the sale. There was not one iota of evidence that the bid rejected by the defendants was not a bona fide bid. The defendants’ answer, while at*842tempting to raise an issue as to prior fraudulent representations by the plaintiffs’ agent inducing them to execute the agreement for the plaintiffs to conduct the sale, was wholly ineffectual for that purpose. However, assuming that their answer was sufficient for this purpose, there was no evidence in support of those allegations. They further pleaded expressly that as a result of the breach of such prior representations, the high bid obtained upon the sale of the property was only $27,600, which was less than the $55,000 they contended the plaintiffs had represented to them the property would bring upon its sale. This pleaded defense clearly shows that the sole reason for the defendants’ rejection of the bid was on account of the inadequacy in the amount thereof, and there was thus no issue made either by the defendants’ plea and answer or by the evidence introduced on the trial of the case raising any issue as to the bona fides of the bid. The charge complained of could not be construed as authorizing the jury to go beyond the evidence and find a verdict for the plaintiffs on the basis of some issue not made by the pleadings or the evidence. Accordingly, the trial court properly overruled the special ground of the motion for a new trial.

Argued April 7, 1965

Decided May 11, 1965

Rehearing denied June 14, 1965.

*Gibson, McGee ■& Blount, Lamar Gibson,*for plaintiffs in error.

*Conyers, Fendig, Dickey & Harris, Albert Fendig, Jr.,*contra.

The evidence authorized the verdict for the plaintiffs, and the court properly overruled the general grounds of the motion for a new trial and the motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Bell, P. J., and Hall, J., concur.*

HomeReports – U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy...Public Diplomacy and the New “Old” War: Countering State-Sponsored Disinformation (2020)

# 									Public Diplomacy and the New “Old” War: Countering State-Sponsored Disinformation (2020)							

ACPD Special Report

September 25, 2020

The ACPD is a bipartisan panel created by Congress in 1948 to appraise all U.S. government efforts to understand, inform, and influence foreign publics. The Commission reports on and makes recommendations to improve the public diplomacy functions vested in U.S. government entities such as the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, and other interagency partners.

This ACPD special report on **Public Diplomacy and the New “Old” War: Countering State-Sponsored Disinformation** assesses recent State Department and U.S. Agency for Global Media efforts to address a sophisticated array of technology-enabled, information-based threats to national security. Disinformation, or the manipulation and dissemination of information to adversely influence public perceptions and behaviors, has emerged as a major destabilizing force in the global information space. These sophisticated threats weaken state credibility, perpetuate destabilizing narratives about national identity and values, and, most dangerously, erode public confidence in democratic institutions.

Based on targeted surveys and data calls as well as interviews with public diplomacy practitioners and researchers in Washington and the field, this report offers a unique diagnostic assessment of public diplomacy efforts to counter disinformation effects. In addition to evaluating program coordination and resource distribution, this report also provides select U.S. embassy and host country perspectives on counter disinformation program implementation and impacts. Finally, the report offers a set of recommendations to improve deterrence and strengthen resilience to malign influence campaigns.
