# 									Legislation							

Office of International Religious Freedom

On October 27, 1998, President Clinton signed into law the International Religious Freedom Act, passed unanimously by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The law has been amended several times since then, most notably by the Frank R. Wolf International Religious Freedom Act of 2016.  The law created the Office of International Religious Freedom within the Department of State, headed by an AmbassadoratLarge who serves as principal advisor to the President and Secretary of State in matters concerning religious freedom abroad.

The current version of the IRF Act, as amended, is available here:

22 U.S. Code Chapter 73  – INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

The Office of International Religious Freedom is also guided in its work by Executive Order 13926 on Advancing International Religious Freedom.

# 											Promoting Accountability for Corruption Globally 									

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

December 11, 2023

The United States is taking a series of actions today, on International Anti-Corruption Day, to promote accountability for those who engage in corruption around the world.  President Biden has signed a presidential proclamation to expand the State Department’s visa restriction authorities so those who engage in corruption and their family members can be subject to visa restrictions, strengthening our ability to deny safe haven to those who enable public corruption. Pursuant to current law, I am designating over 30 individuals, including current and former foreign officials and immediate family members, as generally ineligible for entry to the United States due to their involvement in significant corruption.  

These actions are complemented and reinforced by the Department of the Treasury’s designations under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program of two former Islamic Republic of Afghanistan government officials, and 44 associated entities, for involvement in transnational corruption. Collectively these actions reinforce our comprehensive effort to promote accountability for corrupt actors and deter future corruption.  

Today’s actions target corrupt actors around the world who have misused their public office for personal gain. Through a variety of tools to promote accountability, the United States has designated more than 200 individuals and entities for acts related to corruption in 2023. The United States will continue to coordinate with allies and partners and use all available tools to address corruption in all its forms and promote accountability for malign actors. 

*For more information on today’s action, please see the State Department fact sheet and the Department of the Treasury’s press releases*.

Motor Avenue, P.O. Box 577, Azusa, California 91702-3232, made application by letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as a bulk manufacturer of Nabilone (7379), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.                

The company plans to manufacture the bulk controlled substance for use in product development and for distribution to its customers.

                    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered the                           ( print page 47963)                        factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of Norac Inc. to manufacture the listed basic class of controlled substance is consistent with the public interest at this time. DEA has investigated Norac Inc. to ensure that the company's registration is consistent with the public interest. The investigation has included inspection and testing of the company's physical security systems, verification of the company's compliance with state and local laws, and a review of the company's background and history. Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 823, and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.33, the above named company is granted registration as a bulk manufacturer of the basic class of controlled substance listed.

Freedman, P. J.

The facts in this care are undisputed and upon those facts the judgment must be reversed. There is an entire absence of proof in the case showing that the loss of the articles claimed in the complaint, did not occur between the time of the delivery by the defendant to the persons sent by the plaintiff to take the goods from the possession of the defendant, and the time of the delivery of the package from which the articles were missing, to the plaintiff.

*“*In an action against a common carrier to recover for goods alleged to have been abstracted from packages delivered to him for transportation, which packages are duly delivered to the consignee, the burden is upon plaintiff to show that the goods were *824abstracted, while the packages were in the possession of the defendant, and before delivery; it is not sufficient to show a state of facts as consistent with the occurrence of the loss after as before the delivery.” Canfield v.

LESTER FANE WEBB APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE

----------

FROM CRIMINAL DISTRI CT COURT NO. 1 OF TA RRANT COUNTY

TRIAL COURT NO. 1304 635D

----------



### MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

----------

A jury convicted Appellant Lester Fane Webb of aggravated sexual assault

of a child under the age of fourteen years and assessed his punishment at seven

years’ confinement. The trial court sentenced him accordingly. In a single point

,

Appellant contends that the trial court reversibly erred by refusing to allow him to

present evidence concerning his good character.

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.2 As the State points out, to preserve error in a trial court ’ s exclusion of

evidence, the substance of the excluded eviden ce must be shown by an offer of

proof unless it is apparent from the context of the questions asked. 2 Error may

be preserved by an offer of proof, either in question

- and

- answer form or in the

form of a concise statement by counsel. 3 Counsel ’ s concise sta tement must

include a summary of the proposed testimony. 4 Here, trial counsel made no

offer of proof. We note, however, that by skillful questioning, able trial counsel

nevertheless managed to present to the jury the witness’s opinion:

Q. Are you familia r for

— with his reputation in the community for

being a peaceful and law

- abiding citizen?

A. Yes, we are.

Q. Okay. And what is that reputation?

A. It’s a very upstanding reputation, caring [and] law abiding.

Q. Uh

- huh. And his reputation for honesty?

A. V ery good.

Q. Okay. Would you trust him around your grandchildren?

A. I sure would.

Q. No hesitation?

Q. You understand what he is charged with here today?

A. Yes, [ I ] do.

Q. And you understand it in volves R[.]?

A. Right.

Q. And the alleg ation is sexual abuse?

A. Right.

Q. And I can sit here and go into all the details about what the

allegation involves. Would that change your opinion of Mr.

Webb?

A. No.

Because Appellant did not preserve error, we overrule his sole point and

affirm the t rial court’s judgment.
