# DoD cites candor on Afghanistan troop levels

/ Published Oct. 14, 2009

WASHINGTON (Oct. 14, 2009) – Defense Department officials have been straightforward about the number of U.S. troops flowing into Afghanistan, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said Wednesday. 

As deliberations on the way forward in Afghanistan continue at the White House, Morrell addressed media reports that implied the department was sending an extra 13,000 servicemembers to Afghanistan as enablers for added combat forces. “There was no effort under way by the president, by the secretary, by anybody in this department to try to, in any way, mislead people about the forces that had been approved and were flowing into country,” Morrell said. “We’ve been absolutely candid about that from the get-go. It’s been 21,700 that were approved, and that’s what is flowing into country.” That number includes enablers, Morrell said before going over the timeline for the personnel plus-up. President Barack Obama on Feb. 17 signed off on sending 17,700 additional forces to Afghanistan. At the time, 38,089 Americans were in the country. Another 6,059 servicemembers – approved by President George W. Bush – also were flowing into Afghanistan at the time. “That brings us to roughly 44,000 forces,” Morrell said. On March 27, Obama increased the number of forces going to Afghanistan, adding a brigade to train the Afghan security forces bringing the number of troops he had approved to 21,000. About 66,000 American servicemembers are now in Afghanistan, and the number will reach 68,000 at the end of the year. “There are no additional forces that have been surreptitiously deployed to Afghanistan in support of the mission there,” Morrell said. The British government announced today that they will add 500 more forces to Afghanistan. This will bring their contribution to the effort in the country to 9,500, the second-most after the United States. “We welcome that contribution, as we do all contributions from our alliance partners,” Morrell said. Morrell stressed that Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates expects to be able to maintain current “dwell time” intervals at home stations between deployments for servicemembers deploying to Afghanistan. “The secretary is the one who had to make the extraordinarily difficult decision of extending tour lengths when the situation was particularly bad in Iraq and required a surge of forces,” he said. “He bit the bullet and made the decision to extend tour lengths in Iraq to 15 months.” In August, the last soldiers affected by this extension came home. Now, no unit in U.S. Central Command is deploying for longer than 12 months, the press secretary said. “That is something [Gates] very much wants to hold to if at all possible,” Morrell said. “I see no indication at this point that that would have to be adjusted. But I think we always reserve the right to make adjustments if that's what national security dictates.” The secretary has said he wants to maintain predictability for servicemembers and their families.

AFFIRMED
Third Army uncasing ceremony to be conducted June 10
 By None  , Third Army Public Affairs Office
  **WHAT:** Third Army will conduct an Uncasing Ceremony June 10, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. at Patton Hall Shaw Air Force Base Sumter, SC. Third Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, will perform the ceremony as it represents Third Army’s presence here and symbolizes the start of operations. **Background:**From the earliest of times, warriors used a banner or other symbol to identify specific units and to serve as a rallying point for troops. Carrying the United States colors and the regimental colors in combat and during unit formations was a place of high honor.  Today, the colors, with battle streamers attached, join their units in formations during ceremonies to signify their history in past campaigns and the presence of the commander and his headquarters. When a unit or the headquarters of a unit undergoes a permanent change of station, the Colors are “cased”, literally furled and placed inside a canvas case, to signify that the command has ceased operations at that location. The Colors are then “uncased” at the new location to signify that the command is operational at its new station. Third Army’s main effort is to support the warfighters in support of Operations New Dawn and Enduring Freedom.  We are the Army’s longest continuously deployed warfighting headquarters, operating from five distinct locations to include its Main Command Post in Atlanta, Forward Command Post in Kuwait, ARCENT Support Element-Iraq, ARCENT Coordination Support Element-Afghanistan, and future Main Command Post –Shaw Air Force Base.  . Third Army is in the process of completing a seamless transition from Fort McPherson, Ga to Shaw AFB with no interruption to ongoing operations or support to warfighters in the Central Command area of operations. **** **WHEN:** 9 a.m. June 10, 2011 **WHERE:** Patton Hall, Shaw AFB, SC  **Media Opportunity:** The media is invited to attend the ceremony.  Interested media should contact Third Army Public Affairs as soon as possible.  **Members of the media are not permitted on Shaw AFB without prior coordination.** Please call or email to coordinate on post access in advance.  If you are unable to attend the ceremony the media can view it live at  http://www.dvidshub.net/webcast/1781

**Notice concerning the anti-dumping duties in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating, inter alia, in Croatia: modification of the name of a company from which an undertaking was accepted***Official Journal C 246 , 12/10/2002 P. 0002 - 0002*

Notice concerning the anti-dumping duties in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating, inter alia, in Croatia: modification of the name of a company from which an undertaking was accepted

(2002/C 246/02)

Imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating, inter alia, in Croatia are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 348/2000(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1515/2002(2).

Zeljezara Sisak d.d., Sisak, a Croatian company whose exports to the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in Croatia are subject to an undertaking pursuant to Commission Decision 2000/137/EC(3), as amended by Decision 2002/669/EC(4), accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating, inter alia, in Croatia, has informed the Commission that it has changed its name to Zeljezara Sisak - Nova d.o.o.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which satisfactorily demonstrates that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel are unaffected by the change of name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of company name in no way affects the findings of the investigation, in particular the exemption from the duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 and the undertaking accepted by Decision 2000/137/EC. Accordingly, the right of the renamed company to benefit from the individual measure should remain.

Hence, the reference to Zeljezara Sisak d.d., Sisak should be read as Zeljezara Sisak - Nova d.o.o. in Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 and in Article 1 of Decision 2000/137/EC.

The Taric additional code A064, previously attributed to Zeljezara Sisak d.d., Sisak shall apply to the company under its new name, Zeljezara Sisak - Nova d.o.o.

Subject: Claims Procedure for Plans Providing Disability Benefits; Extension of Applicability 

Date (RIN 1210-AB39) 

To Whom it May Concern: 

These comments are submitted on behalf of Unum Group ("Unum") which through its insurance subsidiaries is 

the nation's largest group disability insurance carrier. Unum welcomes the opportunity to comment on the 

proposed delay of the applicability date of the rule amending disability claims procedures (81 Fed Reg.92316 

(Dec. 16, 2016), the "Regulation") under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). 

Unum and its insureds are significantly impacted by ERISA disability claims regulation changes. Unum supports 

the delay of the applicability of the final rule amending Section 2560.503-1 of ERISA; however, Unum believes 

that the proposed 90-day delay does not afford the Department of Labor ("Department") sufficient time to: review 

comments on the final rule; conduct the appropriate analysis (that was not conducted by the Department under the 

prior administration) of the impact of the final rule; determine next steps; issue an appropriate final rule and allow 

time for insurers and employers to implement any changes necessary under the final rules. 

Unum is a member of the American Council of Life Insurers ("ACLI") and incorporates comments made by 

ACLI on its member companies' behalf. Unum is a joint signatory on a comment letter submitted on October 27, 

2017, by a coalition of trade associations and insurance carriers, and also incorporates those comments. For the 

reasons set forth in greater detail in those two comment letters, Unum urges the Department to delay the 

applicability date of the Regulation for a period sufficient to allow the Department to consider the effects of the 

Regulation and any necessary changes. We further support the Department's review of the true costs of the 

Regulation and we anticipate providing input on data for the Department's consideration of the true costs of the 

Regulation - costs ultimately borne by working Americans and their employers. 

Unum appreciates the Department's current effort to delay the final rule to enable it to gather, review and analyze 

data and comments regarding the ERISA disability claims regulation changes. However, Unum believes the 

proposed delay is insufficient to enable the Department to conduct the required review and to allow sufficient 

time for insurers and employers to implement any changes under the rules finalized following that process. 

Thank you for considering Unum's input.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0186/04

by Maurizio Turco (NI) to the Commission

(29 January 2004)

Subject:   Infringement of religious freedom in Italy, Spain and Portugal

Given the provisions contained in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights with regard to religious freedom and cultural and religious diversity, and Article 6(1) and (2) of the TEU, and the fact that the International Report on Religious Freedom drawn up annually by the US State Department contains the following details in its 2003 edition:

Is the Commission aware of the facts set out above,

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(11 March 2004)

As suggested in the report referred to by the Honourable Member, the laws of Member States may, under certain circumstances, attribute a particular status to certain churches. To the extent of the knowledge of the Commission this does not constitute an infringement of either national or of EU law. The Commission draws moreover the attention of the Honourable Member to declaration No 11 annexed to the Treaty of Amsterdam which states that ‘the EU respects and does not prejudice the status under national law of churches and religious associations or communities in the Member States’. This provision has now been taken up by the article I-51 of the draft Constitution submitted by the European Convention to the present Inter-Governmental Conference (IGC).

Re: Interim Final Rule for Group Health Plans and Health Insurance Coverage Relating to Status
as a Grandfathered Health Plan Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

As a consumer I wish to take this opportunity to formally comment on
the interim final rule regarding health plans and “grandfather” status (Document ID IRS-2010-
0010-0001).

I believe the consumer protections included as part of the new health care law are vitally
important and should be extended to as many people as possible. Accordingly, every effort
should be made to increase the number of individuals covered by the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA) via the above regulations. The triggers or conditions that would
extend these protections to consumers under currently existing “grandfathered” plans should not
