Re: Request to Testify at Lifetime Income Joint Hearing 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

As part of Milliman, Inc., I respectfully request to testify at the Lifetime Income Joint Hearing scheduled for September 

14, 2010. Milliman is a firm of consultants and actuaries serving the full spectrum of business, governmental, and 

financial organizations. Founded in 1947, the firm has 52 offices in principal cities worldwide.

best practice. My testimony evolves from Milliman’s role as the leading provider of risk management services to the 

life insurance industry for equity-based lifetime retirement income products. Globally, Milliman is responsible for the 

risk management of US$500 billion of such products, representing over 6 million client accounts. 

My testimony would focus on issue #4, Fiduciary Safe Harbor for Selection of Lifetime Income Issuer or Product. I 

intend to cover the following topics in a 10-minute discussion: 

- Describe the value of guarantee structures (currently sold in the marketplace) that allow participants to stay 

allocated to equity funds and maintain control of their assets (2 minutes)

guarantee values for products in the marketplace (2 minutes) 

- Explain the basic, industry-standard risk management techniques that companies used to meet their obligations 

in this time of crisis (2 minutes)

John CoppolaVIRIN: 210414-M-M0308-001BThe MQ-9A “Reaper” is a Remote Split Operations (RSO) product from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Incorporated. The RSO capability revolutionizes military operations by allowing the system operator to be thousands of miles away from both the launching site, and airspace covered by the aircraft. VMU-1, a squadron at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, pilots the forward deployed Reaper, which has supported daily combat operations for Task Force Southwest in Afghanistan before its end of mission, and later 5th Fleet in the Arabian Gulf.The Marine Corps took control of the MQ-9A in September of 2018, just over two and a half years from the 10 thousand flight hour milestone.“The Reaper has proven operationally effective in the Central Command region. Not only does that further CENTCOM objectives, it also clears a key pathway to achieving the Commandants vision for the Marine Corps in the Indo-Pacific,” said First Lieutenant Kyle Daugherty, an Intelligence Officer, and MQ-9 lead for Marine Corps Forces, Central Command (MARCENT).MARCENT has utilized the Marine Corps’ first MQ-9 assets to evolve the service as a force, capable of further integration of operations in naval, ground, air, and cyber domains. As the Marine Corps transitions to government owned, government operated employment of the MQ-9, this force design presents opportunities for similar implementation in the Indo-Pacific region.The Commandant of the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030 articulates his priorities and desired state for the service as it looks to modernize and align all efforts to the National Defense Strategy.For further questions, please contact U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Central Command Communication Strategy and Operations at marcentcommstrat@usmc.mil.
Study Explores African Americans’ Attitudes Toward Research


By Michelle Meadows 

Closing the Gap, Putting the Right People in the Right Places • May/June 1999 

Many African Americans view signing the informed consent form as signing 

away rights rather than protecting them, according to a recent study on research participation among African Americans in an urban hospital. The study, 

co-authored by Giselle Corbie-Smith, MD, will be published later this year in the Journal 

of General Internal Medicine. 

The study also revealed African Americans’ continuing fear of being treated like 

guinea pigs because of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. For 40 years, from 1932-72, government researchers denied treatment to 399 men with syphilis. 

The research indicates that we need to do a better job of acknowledging that these 

fears are real, said Stephen B. Thomas, PhD, a member of the research team. Dr. Thomas 

is director of the Institute for Minority Health Research and associate professor of community health at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University. He said we also need 

to do a better job of talking with young African Americans about the purpose of research. 

African American research participants generally give African American health care 

providers the benefit of the doubt when it comes to trust. “It’s not automatic, but it’s an 

advantage of establishing rapport early on,” Dr. Thomas said. 

But Dr. Thomas points out that White providers can connect with Black patients 

and vice versa. And providers and patients of the same race or ethnicity do not always 

communicate successfully. “You still have a social class gap that can be a barrier to communication.” Dr. Thomas said he saw the gap first hand about 10 years ago when he sent a 

Black graduate student into a public housing complex in Washington, DC. The African 

American student felt uncomfortable with the poverty she saw, and it was a White 

student who ultimately connected with the community. 

Stressing cultural competence and better preparation for students of all races will 

become increasingly important, Dr. Thomas said. “We can’t throw professionals into 

situations we haven’t prepared them for,regardless of their race.” 

Dr. Thomas lectured on “Assessing the Legacy of Tuskegee on Participation of African 

Americans in Medical and Public Health Research” at an anniversary meeting of the 1997 

Presidential apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. 

Tuskegee and Emory Universities held the meeting May 15-16, 1999. Also on the 

panel was Fred Gray, founder and president of the Tuskegee Human and Civil Rights 

Multicultural Center and author of Bus Ride to Justice and The Tuskegee Syphilis Study.

Marines with HMH-466 conduct final flight over Helmand province

 HELMAND PROVINCE, Afghanistan (August 15, 2012) — For the past seven months, Marines with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 466 have been resupplying forces on the front lines, as well as tactically inserting them into dangerous areas as coalition forces have been taking the fight to the enemy. The Marines with the squadron completed their last flight before they return home, Aug. 14.“We supported all the Marines in (Regional Command Southwest) every single day,” said Capt. James A. Everett, a pilot with HMH-466. “We moved a ton of people around and a ton of cargo.” In addition to general support missions, the squadron has done numerous flights inserting troops into insurgent-held territory.“We did a lot of tactical missions, a lot of raids,” said Everett, 28, from Donnelly, Idaho. “Both with our troops and with the Aussies. I also worked with the British, dropped them in a few spots.”The squadron also resupplied Marines while on operations. When the mission sent Marines far from any coalition base, HMH-466 would provide resupplies.“I think (supporting the missions in Afghanistan) is great,” said Everett. “As an assault support platform we could get just an astronomical amount of stuff out to the Marines. I think we are the best asset the Marine Corps has to do our kind of aerial delivery.”HMH-466 was formed before the deployment drawing Marines from the East Coast and the West Coast.“I think this deployment was great,” said Gunnery Sgt. Michael G. Lester, logistics chief, HMH-466. “There were hiccups in the beginning, but once everybody came together there was not one thing we could not accomplish.” The Marines flew constantly, and that led the junior Marines with the squadron learning how to properly load cargo, passengers and keep security posted on the aircraft’s guns.“A lot of our aircrew grew up from young guys who had just joined our squadron when they came out here,” said Everett. “They have blossomed into senior crew chiefs. They really ran the back of the cabin well.”The Marines are proud of their work, but they are ready to return home after seven months in Afghanistan.“We came out here and did everything they asked us to do,” said Everett. “We didn’t drop any missions and we did way more then I ever expected we would be able to. Now that we are going home, I feel like it’s well deserved. We are all pretty excited to be heading back home.” The Marines were proud to be part of the squadron, and said their efforts were a large asset to troops operating on the ground. “I think this is probably one of the best squadrons I ever worked with,” said Lester, 31, Cleveland. “The way the squadron is ran it is top-notch.”

Subject: Comments on Lifetime Income RFI

Comments on Lifetime Income RFI 

I am writing as a concerned individual. My husband and I are self-employed and manage 

our own retirement accounts. 

While I have no objections to employers retirement plans offering annuities (or other 

fixed income options), the choice is already available for anyone who rolls their 401k 

over into an IRA. If people want annuities, they can get them. 

Why would a person chose not to have an annuity? Three reasons: one, the risk of 

inflation eating up the value of the income stream; two, once bought, you cant change 

your mind; and three, the hope of a better return through other investment options. None 

of my retirement assets are in annuities and I expect to keep it that way for my lifetime. 

The big problem, as I understand it, is not a lack of annuities but lack of money set aside. 

But saving for retirement is the responsibility of the individual; not the employer, and not 

the government. Its up to the individual to spend less and save more. 

If you must meddle, there are several ways to encourage more retirement saving. Increase 

the amounts that people can set aside in tax-favored accounts (IRAs, 401ks, etc.). Keep 

tax rates low on capital gains and dividends, so people can save more than the taxfavored amount without losing half of their investment gain to the taxman. 

And, as a related concern, dont let the Solo 401k die when the 2001 Tax Reforms sunset 

next year. The self employed need the tax breaks to be able to set money aside for 

retirement. An IRA alone is not enough. 

The sellers of annuities seem to be pushing this idea that employers must offer annuities. 

They are interested in selling more of their own product, not in the welfare of retirees. 

People have a right to control their own retirement planning, even if it means nobody 

buys annuities. If the insurance companies want to sell more annuities, let them produce a 

better product. 

As for how much information an employer-sponsored plan should provide the more the 

merrier. A fully informed consumer has a better chance of making a smart choice. But do 

make sure whatever information is provided is not misleading.

# Task Force Spartan Maintainers Keep the Task Force Moving

/ Published June 23, 2020
KUWAIT 06.23.2020, 
Soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Division working in the motor pool play a critical role in keeping the division and Task Force Spartan Shield mission capable and is responsible for more than just working on equipment.

“We have to order parts to keep all of Task Force Spartan operating,” said Sgt. Eric Monk. “Without us staying on top of things here, vehicles would go down and we wouldn’t be mission capable.

Parts and general vehicle maintenance are only part of remaining mission ready.

“It’s very important that we stay focused here and complete work orders in a timely manner,” said Staff Sgt. Edward Rucker. “Working on the equipment is just a part of what we do here.”

Another component of remaining mission ready is organization.

“Work orders are used to let the mechanics know what is ready to be worked, and in what order they should be worked,” said Monk. “It can get crazy around here with all the work we have.”

The Task Force Spartan team does not just handle equipment organic to the task force or the division or even the usual military equipment.

“We work on ARCENT stuff, there’s everyone’s vehicles here on post that we work on,” said Rucker. “It’s not only the trucks you might think of like the Humvee’s, we also work on things like the gators you see on post.”  

 Added equipment means increased challenges. 

“With all the different equipment we work on, ordering parts can be a challenge sometimes,” said Staff Sgt. Jeffery Tajon. “We have to track all the parts and there special ID [identification] numbers to ensure we are getting and using the correct parts for the job.”  

Despite all the added responsibilities and work, these professionals manage to keep all supported elements mission-capable while maintaining the sections' morale.

“Tracking all the reports we have to do and still training up other Soldiers can be overwhelming at times, but we get it done,” said Monk. “We even have soldiers here that we are helping to train from other companies, like the 302nd MP’s [military police].”

“With all the work we do helping other units, working on our equipment, training Soldiers, and keeping up on reports, the most import thing we do is take care of each other,” said Rucker. “Trying to keep morale up with Soldiers helps them to stay positive, which in turn they help to keep things running.”
