Attn: Lifetime Income RFI

RE: Request to Testify at DOL Hearing on Lifetime Income on September 14, 2010 

Dear Ms Solis: 

The Financial Services Roundtable1

 (“Roundtable”) submits this letter in response to the 

Department of Labor’s (“DOL”) and Department of the Treasury’s open invitation to the public 

to testify at the Joint Income Lifetime Hearing on September 14, 2010. This letter represents 

our formal request to formally participate in and testify at the Lifetime Income Joint Hearing. 

The Roundtable shares the Obama Administration’s goal of increasing opportunities for 

Americans to save and plan for their retirement. It is our belief that the preservation and 

expansion of the current workplace-based retirement system is the best way to improve 

Americans’ retirement security. Likewise, creating policies that help promote and develop 

workplace-based solutions will enable the financial services industry to better meet the longterm retirement needs of hard working Americans. We would appreciate the opportunity to 

comment on this very important issue. At this time, the issues/questions the Roundtable would 

like to testify and discuss are listed below: 

1) Certain Specific Participant Concerns Affecting the Choice of Lifetime Income Relative to 

Other Options: 

a. Incentives to Include Annuity Option in Retirement Plans; 

 b. Reduce the Taxes Applied to Annuities Upon Distribution; and 

5) Alternative Designs of In-Plan and Distribution Lifetime Income Options. 

 

1 The Financial Services Roundtable represents 100 of the largest integrated financial services companies providing banking, 

insurance, and investment products and services to the American consumer. Member companies participate through the 

Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives nominated by the CEO. Roundtable member companies provide fuel for 

America's economic engine, accounting directly for $74.7 trillion in managed assets, $1.1 trillion in revenue, and 2.3 million 

jobs. 
 a. Participant Education and Financial Literacy

Thank you again for the opportunity to share our views with you on this subject and we would 

greatly appreciate the chance to testify in greater detail at the hearing on September 14, 2010. If 

you have any questions, please contact Brian Tate at (202) 289-4322 or brian@fsround.org.

Sincerely, 

Best regards,

# April 2023 Month in Review: The Defeat ISIS Mission in Iraq and Syria

/ Published May 5, 2023

May 5, 2023

Release Number 20230505-01

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**TAMPA, Fla. -** During the month of April 2023, U.S. Central Command, along with coalition and other partners, conducted a total of 35 D-ISIS operations, resulting in 13 ISIS operatives killed and 28 detained.

These operations showcase our enduring commitment to the lasting defeat of ISIS and the continued need for targeted military efforts to prevent ISIS members from conducting attacks and regaining a foothold. We remain focused on building local partner forces’ capabilities to prevent ISIS resurgence. 

The following is a breakdown of D-ISIS operations for April 2023 by country:

In Iraq:

25 partnered operations

0 US-only operations

9 ISIS operatives killed

7 ISIS operatives detained

In Syria:

10 partnered operations

1 US-only operations

4 ISIS operatives killed

21 ISIS operatives detained

During Ramadan we observed a significant reduction in the number of ISIS attacks compared to previous years. We assess this is due to the increased operations by our partners.

In Iraq, CENTCOM troops continue to advise, assist, and enable Iraqi Security Forces, including the Kurdish Peshmerga, who lead the shared fight against ISIS in Iraq.

In Syria, CENTCOM relies heavily on our local partners, the Syrian Democratic Forces, in the fight with ISIS.

“CENTCOM is committed to the enduring defeat of ISIS,” said Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, CENTCOM commander.

Subject: RIN 1210-AB32 

A quick note to say, PLEASE, help us to keep our retirements. My husband and I have 2 year degrees, we 

are ultra conservative, and we put our daughter through a liberal arts school, and our son is a Senior at a 

liberal arts school. They both qualified for the academic scholarships, but we do not qualify for any 

financial aid. We are extremely happy that we can afford to pay and keep them out of debt, but, as we 

are trying to fund our retirement it would be so sad to have it disappear after doing things in the right 

order. We are your average white, middle class working people.

Thank you in advance.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
QVC, Inc.:

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of QVC, Inc. and

statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1998.

management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present

General Comment

We do not need the government to mandate retirement accounts for workers. Each employee has
the option of purchasing IRA's if they want.

If you want to encourage savings, make all contributions to IRA and ROTH accounts tax free.
Eliminate tax on the first IRA and ROTH payments of 50,000 or less. Raise contribution limits for
both ROTH and IRA's.

And stop spending money.

# USCENTCOM, JAF leaders hold Eager Lion 2014 press conference

/ Published May 27, 2014

******HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN –** Army Maj. Gen. Robert Catalanotti, U.S. Central Command director of Exercises and Training Directorate, and Brig. Gen. Fahad Al-Damin, director of Joint Training from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, held a press conference today regarding Exercise Eager Lion 2014.

Eager Lion, which has been recurring annually since 2011, includes more than 12,500 military and civilian participants from five continents.  The exercise focuses on strengthening the military-to-military relationships and further demonstrates the U.S. commitment to regional security and stability.  Catalanotti said Eager Lion has been the premier USCENTCOM exercise with our Jordanian partners since its inception.

“The exercise provides us with the opportunity to develop relationships and capabilities. Those relationships we build here during the exercise will be enduring ones that ensure our success in future joint endeavors,” said Catalanotti.  “All of this combined training, led by the Jordanian Armed Forces, will come together over the next two weeks, strengthening the partnership between more than 20 countries and increasing our ability to operate together during any contingency.” 

Brig. Gen Fahad Al-Damin commented on the participation in Eager Lion 2014, and noted that the exercise provides an opportunity to increase interoperability between the participating countries. 

“The growing number in the participating countries this year emphasizes the fact that this exercise is considered as a chance for elite military leadership to meet on various and different levels: strategic, operational and tactical,” said Fahad. “Eager Lion ‘14 is considered one of the main outcomes of the relationships that we hope will solidify cooperation and coordination in all military domains among the participating countries.”

Both leaders answered questions from media outlets during a questions and answer session following their opening remarks.  Planning for Eager Lion 2015 will begin sometime this summer.
