Question: Were both groups, The Bolshoi and Kutless, based in the United States?

Context paragraphs:
H.Res. 565 (113th Congress): The bill , official title "Calling on Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr., to appoint a special counsel to investigate the targeting of conservative nonprofit groups by the Internal Revenue Service," was passed by the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.  The simple resolution asks U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special counsel to investigate that 2013 IRS scandal.  The Internal Revenue Service revealed in 2013 that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for closer scrutiny based on their names or political themes.

Expeditionary Strike Group: The Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) is a United States Navy concept introduced in the early 1990s, based on the Naval Expeditionary Task Force.  The U.S. Navy fields 9 Expeditionary Strike Groups and 10 carrier strike groups, in addition to surface action groups.  ESGs allow US naval forces to provide highly movable and self-sustaining forces for missions in various parts of the globe.

Kaiser Permanente: Kaiser Permanente ( ; KP) is an integrated managed care consortium, based in Oakland, California, United States, founded in 1945 by industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and physician Sidney Garfield.  Kaiser Permanente is made up of three distinct but interdependent groups of entities: the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. (KFHP) and its regional operating subsidiaries; Kaiser Foundation Hospitals; and the regional Permanente Medical Groups.  As of 2014, Kaiser Permanente operates in eight states and the District of Columbia, and is the largest managed care organization in the United States.

Lancefield grouping: Lancefield grouping is a method of grouping catalase-negative, coagulase-negative bacteria based on the carbohydrate composition of bacterial antigens found on their cell walls.  The system, created by Rebecca Lancefield, was historically used to organize the various members of the family Streptococcaceae, which includes the genera Lactococcus and Streptococcus, but now is largely superfluous due to explosive growth in the number of streptococcal species identified since the 1970s.  As of 2016, Lancefield designations are often used to communicate medical microbiological results in the United States.  Enterococcus, formerly known as Group D Streptococcus, was believed to be a member of the genus Streptococcus until 1984, after the Lancefield criteria were devised, and so were included in the original Lancefield grouping.  Many - but not all - species of streptococcus are beta-hemolytic.  Notably, Enterococcus and Streptococcus bovis (Lancefield Group D) are not beta-hemolytic.  Though there are many groups of streptococcus, only five are known to commonly cause disease in immune-competent human beings: Group A, Group B, both members of Group D, and two groups that lack the Lancefield carbohydrate antigen: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Viridans streptococci.

Race and genetics: The relationship between race and genetics is relevant to the controversy concerning race classification.  In everyday life, many societies classify populations into groups based on phenotypical traits and impressions of probable geographic ancestry and socio-economic status—these are the groups usually called "races" in countries like the United States, Brazil, and South Africa.  Patterns of variation of human genetic traits are generally clinal, with more abrupt shifts at places where steady gene flow is interrupted.  It is possible to statistically correlate genetic markers with individual geographic ancestry, and to use the genetic markers to hypothesize ancestral genetic clusters.  The frequencies of alleles tend to form clusters where populations live closely together and interact over periods of time.  This is due to endogamy within kin groups and lineages or national, cultural or linguistic boundaries.  This causes genetic clusters to correlate statistically with population groups when a number of alleles are evaluated.

Applera: Applera Corporation of Norwalk, Connecticut, at #874 on the 2007 Fortune 1000 list, was one of the largest international biotechnology companies based in the United States.  It was the successor company to what was the Life Sciences Division of Perkin-Elmer Corporation.  Applera was not publicly traded, but instead it consisted of two major groups which are publicly traded tracking stocks in the proteomics industrial sector.  These two groups were the S&P 500 listed Applera Corp-Applied Biosystems Group of Foster City, California, and Applera Corp-Celera Genomics Group of Rockville, Maryland.  In 2006, the company spun off the Celera Genomics group and changed its name from Applera to Applied Biosystems.

Finding Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress: In 2013, the IRS revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for closer scrutiny based on their names or political themes.  This disclosure led to wide condemnation of the agency and triggered several investigations, including a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal probe ordered by United States Attorney General Eric Holder.  Initial reports described the selections as nearly exclusively of conservative groups with terms such as "Tea Party" in their names.  Further investigation revealed that liberal-leaning groups and the Occupy movement had also triggered additional scrutiny, but not at nearly the same rate as conservative groups.  The only denial of tax-exempt status by the IRS was to a progressive group.  The use of target lists continued through May 2013.

Orval Hobart Mowrer: Orval Hobart Mowrer (January 23, 1907 – June 20, 1982) was an American psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Illinois from 1948 to 1975 known for his research on behaviour therapy.  Mowrer practiced psychotherapy in Champaign-Urbana and at Galesburg State Research Hospital.  In 1954 Mowrer held the position of president of the American Psychological Association.  Mowrer founded Integrity Groups (therapeutic community groups based on principles of honesty, responsibility, and emotional involvement) and was instrumental in establishing GROW groups in the United States.  A "Review of General Psychology" survey, published in 2002, ranked Mowrer as the 98th most cited psychologist of the 20th century.

Kutless: Kutless is a Christian rock band from Portland, Oregon formed in 1999.  Since their formation, they have released multiple studio albums and one live album, "Live from Portland".  They have sold over 3 million records worldwide.

The Bolshoi: The Bolshoi were a London-based music group prominent mostly in the mid to late 1980s.  They are best known for the hits "Sunday Morning" and "A way" or "Away" (the name is interchangeable and has been noted as both on different albums/singles).
