It is located in Heidelberg , Baden-Württemberg , Germany near the top of the Königstuhl , adjacent to the historic Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl astronomical observatory . The institute primarily conducts basic research in the natural sciences in the field of astronomy . In addition to its own astronomical observations and astronomical research , the Institute is also actively involved in the development of observation instruments . The instruments or parts of them are manufactured in the institutes own workshops . History . The founding of the institute in 1967 resulted from the insight that a supra-regional institute equipped with powerful telescopes was necessary in order to conduct internationally competitive astronomical research . Hans Elsässer , an astronomer , became the founding director in 1968 . In February 1969 , a first group of 5 employees started work in the buildings of the neighbouring Königstuhl State Observatory . The institute , which was completed in 1975 , was initially dedicated to the preparation and evaluation of astronomical observations and the development of new measurement methods . From 1973 to 1984 , it operated the Calar Alto Observatory on Calar Alto near Almería together with Spanish authorities . This largest observatory on the European mainland was used equally by astronomers from both countries until 2019 . On 23 May 2019 , the regional government of Andalusia and the MPG signed a transfer agreement for the 50% share in the observatory . Since then , it has been owned exclusively by Spain . Since 2005 , the MPIA has been operating the Large Binocular Telescope ( LBT ) together with partners from Germany , Italy and the USA and equipping it with measuring instruments . The LBT is located on Mount Graham near Tucson , Arizona , which is 3190 m high . On its mount , it carries two primary mirrors , each 8.4 meters in diameter , making it the largest optical reflecting telescope with single monolithic primary mirrors in the world . Research interests . Two scientific questions are given priority at the MPIA . One is the formation and development of stars and planets in our cosmic neighbourhood . The resonating question is : Is the Sun with its inhabited planet Earth unique , or are there also conditions in the vicinity of other stars , at least the numerous sun-like ones among them , that are conducive to life ? On the other hand , the area of galaxies and cosmology is about understanding the development of todays richly structured Universe with its galaxies and stars and its emergence from the simple initial state after the Big Bang . The research topics at a glance : - Star formation and young objects , planet formation , astrobiology , interstellar matter , astrochemistry - Structure and evolution of the Milky Way , quasars and active galaxies , evolution of galaxies , galaxy clusters , cosmology Together with the Center for Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg , the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies ( HITS ) and the Department of Astro- and Particle Physics of the MPI for Nuclear Physics ( MPIK ) , the MPIA in Heidelberg is a globally renowned centre of astronomical research .

] | easy | Max Planck Institute for Astronomy was managed or directed by whom from 1999 to 2001? | /wiki/Max_Planck_Institute_for_Astronomy#P1037#3 | Max Planck Institute for Astronomy The Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie ( Max Planck Institute for Astronomy , MPIA ) is a research institute of the Max Planck Society ( MPG ) . It is located in Heidelberg , Baden-Württemberg , Germany near the top of the Königstuhl , adjacent to the historic Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl astronomical observatory . The institute primarily conducts basic research in the natural sciences in the field of astronomy . In addition to its own astronomical observations and astronomical research , the Institute is also actively involved in the development of observation instruments . The instruments or parts of them are manufactured in the institutes own workshops . History . The founding of the institute in 1967 resulted from the insight that a supra-regional institute equipped with powerful telescopes was necessary in order to conduct internationally competitive astronomical research . Hans Elsässer , an astronomer , became the founding director in 1968 . In February 1969 , a first group of 5 employees started work in the buildings of the neighbouring Königstuhl State Observatory . The institute , which was completed in 1975 , was initially dedicated to the preparation and evaluation of astronomical observations and the development of new measurement methods . From 1973 to 1984 , it operated the Calar Alto Observatory on Calar Alto near Almería together with Spanish authorities . This largest observatory on the European mainland was used equally by astronomers from both countries until 2019 . On 23 May 2019 , the regional government of Andalusia and the MPG signed a transfer agreement for the 50% share in the observatory . Since then , it has been owned exclusively by Spain . Since 2005 , the MPIA has been operating the Large Binocular Telescope ( LBT ) together with partners from Germany , Italy and the USA and equipping it with measuring instruments . The LBT is located on Mount Graham near Tucson , Arizona , which is 3190 m high . On its mount , it carries two primary mirrors , each 8.4 meters in diameter , making it the largest optical reflecting telescope with single monolithic primary mirrors in the world . Research interests . Two scientific questions are given priority at the MPIA . One is the formation and development of stars and planets in our cosmic neighbourhood . The resonating question is : Is the Sun with its inhabited planet Earth unique , or are there also conditions in the vicinity of other stars , at least the numerous sun-like ones among them , that are conducive to life ? On the other hand , the area of galaxies and cosmology is about understanding the development of todays richly structured Universe with its galaxies and stars and its emergence from the simple initial state after the Big Bang . The research topics at a glance : - Star formation and young objects , planet formation , astrobiology , interstellar matter , astrochemistry - Structure and evolution of the Milky Way , quasars and active galaxies , evolution of galaxies , galaxy clusters , cosmology Together with the Center for Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg , the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies ( HITS ) and the Department of Astro- and Particle Physics of the MPI for Nuclear Physics ( MPIK ) , the MPIA in Heidelberg is a globally renowned centre of astronomical research .

Life . Her father was Welf I ( d . 825 ) , Count of Altorf in Alamannia ; her mother was Hedwig ( Heilwig ; c . 775 – after 833 ) , a daughter of the Saxon count Isambart . Emmas elder sister was Judith , who in February 819 married the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious , and thereby became Queen consort of the Franks and Holy Roman Empress . The marriage marked a crucial step forward in the rise of the Welf dynasty . In 827 , probably at the instigation of Judith , Hemma married Louis the German , the youngest son of Emperor Louis the Pious from his first marriage with Ermengarde of Hesbaye , and stepson of Hemmas sister Judith . The wedding ceremony possibly took place in Regensburg , where Louis the German resided as King of Bavaria subordinate to his father . In 833 , Hemma received Obermünster Abbey in Regensburg from her husband . Emperor Louis died in 840 . After severe innerdynastic struggles , the Carolingian Empire eventually was divided according to the Treaty of Verdun in 843 . The Kingdom of Bavaria was merged with Louis the Germans Kingdom of East Francia ( the predecessor of the Kingdom of Germany ) , and his wife Hemma became the first East Frankish queen . Hemma is rarely mentioned in contemporary sources ; she does not seem to have had much influence on her husbands rule . The Annales Bertiniani written by Archbishop Hincmar of Reims however reproach her for a pride which displeased the people of Italy . She is also said to have inordinately favoured her son Carloman , designated heir of his father in Bavaria , which led to a revolt by his brothers . Hemma suffered a stroke in 874 and subsequently became paralyzed and speechless ; King Louis visited her the last time in 875 . She died on 31 January 876 , a few months before her husband , and was buried in St . Emmerams Abbey , Regensburg . Her tomb , erected around 1300 , is considered a masterpiece of medieval sculpture . Family . By Louis , she had eight children : - Hildegard ( 827–856 ) - Carloman ( 828–880 ) - Ermengard ( c . 830-866 ) - Gisela , married to Berctolf , Count of Swabia .

He had previously worked in the clubs community department , coaching young children . He rejected a move to Manchester United in favour of Blackburn , whom he had supported since he was a child . He had a loan spell at Plymouth Argyle but did not manage to score in any of his 13 games , resulting in Mark Hughes ending the players loan early . He then joined Wrexham on loan for the final three months of the season where he made a name for himself hitting the net on 10 occasions from 16 appearances .

] | easy | Which employer did Herbert Marcuse work for from 1954 to 1965? | /wiki/Herbert_Marcuse#P108#0 | Herbert Marcuse Herbert Marcuse ( ; ; July 19 , 1898 – July 29 , 1979 ) was a German-American philosopher , sociologist , and political theorist , associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory . Born in Berlin , Marcuse studied at the Humboldt University of Berlin and then at Freiburg , where he received his PhD . He was a prominent figure in the Frankfurt-based Institute for Social Research – what later became known as the Frankfurt School . He was married to Sophie Wertheim ( 1924–1951 ) , Inge Neumann ( 1955–1973 ) , and Erica Sherover ( 1976–1979 ) . In his written works , he criticized capitalism , modern technology , Soviet Communism and entertainment culture , arguing that they represent new forms of social control . Between 1943 and 1950 , Marcuse worked in US government service for the Office of Strategic Services ( predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency ) where he criticized the ideology of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the book ( 1958 ) . In the 1960s and the 1970s he became known as the preeminent theorist of the New Left and the student movements of West Germany , France , and the United States ; some consider him the Father of the New Left . His best known works are Eros and Civilization ( 1955 ) and One-Dimensional Man ( 1964 ) . His Marxist scholarship inspired many radical intellectuals and political activists in the 1960s and 1970s , both in the United States and internationally . Biography . Early years . Herbert Marcuse was born July 19 , 1898 , in Berlin , to Carl Marcuse and Gertrud Kreslawsky . His family was Jewish . In 1916 he was drafted into the German Army , but only worked in horse stables in Berlin during World War I . He then became a member of a Soldiers Council that participated in the aborted socialist Spartacist uprising . He completed his PhD thesis at the University of Freiburg in 1922 on the German Künstlerroman after which he moved back to Berlin , where he worked in publishing . In 1924 he married Sophie Wertheim , a mathematician . He returned to Freiburg in 1928 to study with Edmund Husserl and write a habilitation with Martin Heidegger , which was published in 1932 as Hegels Ontology and the Theory of Historicity ( Hegels Ontologie und die Theorie der Geschichtlichkeit ) . This study was written in the context of the Hegel renaissance that was taking place in Europe with an emphasis on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels ontology of life and history , idealist theory of spirit and dialectic . With his academic career blocked by the rise of the Third Reich , in 1933 Marcuse joined the Institute for Social Research , popularly known as the Frankfurt School . He went almost at once into exile with them , first briefly in Geneva , then in the United States . Unlike some others , Marcuse did not return to Germany after the war . When he visited Frankfurt in 1956 , the young Jürgen Habermas was surprised that he was a key member of the Institute . In 1933 , Marcuse published his first major review , of Karl Marxs Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 . In this review , Marcuse revised the interpretation of Marxism , from the standpoint of the works of the early Marx . Emigration to the United States . After leaving Germany for Switzerland in May 1933 , Marcuse emigrated to the United States in June 1934 , where he became a citizen in 1940 . Although he never returned to Germany to live , he remained one of the major theorists associated with the Frankfurt School , along with Max Horkheimer and Theodor W . Adorno ( among others ) . In 1940 he published Reason and Revolution , a dialectical work studying G . W . F . Hegel and Karl Marx . While a member of the Frankfurt School ( also known as the Institute of Social Research ) , Marcuse developed a model for critical social theory , created a theory of the new stage of state and monopoly capitalism , described the relationships between philosophy , social theory , and cultural criticism , and provided an analysis and critique of German fascism . Marcuse worked closely with critical theorists while at the institute . World War II . During World War II , Marcuse first worked for the US Office of War Information ( OWI ) on anti-Nazi propaganda projects . In 1943 , he transferred to the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Services ( OSS ) , the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency . Directed by the Harvard historian William L . Langer , the Research and Analysis ( R & A ) Branch was in fact the biggest American research institution in the first half of the twentieth century . At its zenith between 1943 and 1945 , it employed over twelve hundred , four hundred of whom were stationed abroad . In many respects , it was the site where post-World War II American social science was born , with protégés of some of the most esteemed American university professors , as well as a large contingent of European intellectual émigrés , in its ranks . These men comprised the theoretical brain trust of the American war machine , which , according to its founder , William J . Donovan , would function as a final clearinghouse for the secret services—that is , as a structure that , although not engaged in determining war strategy or tactics , would be able to assemble , organize , analyze , and filter the immense flow of military information directed toward Washington , thanks to the unique capacity of the specialists on hand to interpret the relevant sources . In March 1943 , Marcuse joined his fellow Frankfurt School scholar Franz Neumann in R & As Central European Section as senior analyst and rapidly established himself as the leading analyst on Germany . After the dissolution of the OSS in 1945 , Marcuse was employed by the US Department of State as head of the Central European section , becoming an intelligence analyst of Nazism . A compilation of Marcuses reports was published in . He retired after the death of his first wife in 1951 . Post-war . In 1952 , Marcuse began a teaching career as a political theorist , first at Columbia University , then at Harvard University . Marcuse worked at Brandeis University from 1954 to 1965 , then at the University of California San Diego from 1965 to 1970 . It was during his time at Brandeis that he wrote his most famous work , One-Dimensional Man ( 1964 ) . Marcuse was a friend and collaborator of the political sociologist Barrington Moore Jr . and of the political philosopher Robert Paul Wolff , and also a friend of the Columbia University sociology professor C . Wright Mills , one of the founders of the New Left movement . In his Introduction to One-Dimensional Man , Marcuse wrote , I should like to emphasize the vital importance of the work of C . Wright Mills . In the post-war period , Marcuse rejected the theory of class struggle and the Marxist concern with labor , instead claiming , according to Leszek Kołakowski , that since all questions of material existence have been solved , moral commands and prohibitions are no longer relevant . He regarded the realization of mans erotic nature as the true liberation of humanity , which inspired the utopias of Jerry Rubin and others . Marcuses critiques of capitalist society ( especially his 1955 synthesis of Marx and Sigmund Freud , Eros and Civilization , and his 1964 book One-Dimensional Man ) resonated with the concerns of the student movement in the 1960s . Because of his willingness to speak at student protests and his essay Repressive Tolerance ( 1965 ) , Marcuse soon became known in the media as Father of the New Left . Contending that the students of the sixties were not waiting for the publication of his work to act , Marcuse brushed the medias branding of him as Father of the New Left aside lightly , saying It would have been better to call me not the father , but the grandfather , of the New Left . His work heavily influenced intellectual discourse on popular culture and scholarly popular culture studies . He had many speaking engagements in the US and Western Bloc in the late 1960s and 1970s . He became a close friend and inspirer of the French philosopher André Gorz . Marcuse defended the arrested East German dissident Rudolf Bahro ( author of Die Alternative : Zur Kritik des real existierenden Sozialismus [ trans. , The Alternative in Eastern Europe ] ) , discussing in a 1979 essay Bahros theories of change from within . The New Left and radical politics . Many radical scholars and activists were influenced by Marcuse , such as Norman O . Brown , Angela Davis , Charles J . Moore , Abbie Hoffman , Rudi Dutschke , and Robert M . Young ( see the List of Scholars and Activists link below ) . Among those who critiqued him from the left were Marxist-humanist Raya Dunayevskaya , fellow German emigre Paul Mattick , both of whom subjected One-Dimensional Man to a Marxist critique , and Noam Chomsky , who knew and liked Marcuse but thought very little of his work . Marcuses 1965 essay Repressive Tolerance , in which he claimed capitalist democracies can have totalitarian aspects , has been criticized by conservatives . Marcuse argues that genuine tolerance does not permit support for repression , since doing so ensures that marginalized voices will remain unheard . He characterizes tolerance of repressive speech as inauthentic . Instead , he advocates a form of tolerance that is intolerant of repressive ( namely right-wing ) political movements : Marcuse later expressed his radical ideas through three pieces of writing . He wrote An Essay on Liberation in 1969 , in which he celebrated liberation movements such as those in Vietnam , which inspired many radicals . In 1972 he wrote Counterrevolution and Revolt , which argues that the hopes of the 1960s were facing a counterrevolution from the right . After Brandeis denied the renewal of his teaching contract in 1965 , Marcuse taught at the University of California San Diego . In 1968 , California Governor Ronald Reagan and other conservatives objected to his reappointment , but the university decided to let his contract run until 1970 . He devoted the rest of his life to teaching , writing and giving lectures around the world . His efforts brought him attention from the media , which claimed that he openly advocated violence , although he often clarified that only violence of defense could be appropriate , not violence of aggression . He continued to promote Marxian theory , with some of his students helping to spread his ideas . He published his final work The Aesthetic Dimension in 1979 on the role of art in the process of what he termed emancipation from bourgeois society . Marriages . Marcuse married three times . His first wife was mathematician Sophie Wertheim ( 1901–1951 ) , with whom he had a son , Peter ( born 1928 ) . She died in 1951 . Herberts second marriage was to Inge Neumann ( 1910–1973 ) , the widow of his close friend Franz Neumann ( 1900–1954 ) . She died in 1973 . His third wife was Erica Sherover ( 1938–1988 ) , a former graduate student and forty years his junior , whom he married in 1976 . His son Peter Marcuse is professor emeritus of urban planning at Columbia University . His granddaughter is the novelist Irene Marcuse and his grandson , Harold Marcuse , is a professor of history at the University of California , Santa Barbara . Death . On July 29 , 1979 , ten days after his eighty-first birthday , Marcuse died after suffering a stroke during a visit to Germany . He had spoken at the Frankfurt Römerberggespräche , and was on his way to the Max Planck Institute for the Study of the Scientific-Technical World in Starnberg , on invitation from second-generation Frankfurt School theorist Jürgen Habermas . In 2003 , after his ashes were rediscovered in the United States , they were buried in the Dorotheenstädtischer cemetery in Berlin . Philosophy and views . Marcuses famous concept repressive desublimation refers to his argument that postwar mass culture , with its profusion of sexual provocations , serves to reinforce political repression . If people are preoccupied with inauthentic sexual stimulation , their political energy will be desublimated ; instead of acting constructively to change the world , they remain repressed and uncritical . Marcuse advanced the prewar thinking of critical theory toward a critical account of the one-dimensional nature of bourgeois life in Europe and America . His thinking could , therefore , also be considered an advance of the concerns of earlier liberal critics such as David Riesman . Two aspects of Marcuses work are of particular importance , first , his use of language more familiar from the critique of Soviet or Nazi regimes to characterize developments in the advanced industrial world ; and second , his grounding of critical theory in a particular use of psychoanalytic thought . Both of these features of his thinking have often been misunderstood and have given rise to critiques of his work that miss the point of his targets . Marcuses early Heideggerian Marxism . During his years in Freiburg , Marcuse wrote a series of essays that explored the possibility of synthesizing Marxism and Heideggers fundamental ontology , as begun in the latters work Being and Time ( 1927 ) . This early interest in Heidegger followed Marcuses demand for concrete philosophy , which , he declared in 1928 , concerns itself with the truth of contemporaneous human existence . These words were directed against the neo-Kantianism of the mainstream , and against both the revisionist and orthodox Marxist alternatives , in which the subjectivity of the individual played little role . Though Marcuse quickly distanced himself from Heidegger following Heideggers endorsement of Nazism , it has been suggested by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas that an understanding of Marcuses later thinking demands an appreciation of his early Heideggerian influence . Marcuse and capitalism . Marcuses analysis of capitalism derives partially from one of Karl Marxs main concepts : Objectification , which under capitalism becomes Alienation . Marx believed that capitalism was exploiting humans ; that by producing objects of a certain character , laborers became alienated and this ultimately dehumanized them into functional objects themselves . Marcuse took this belief and expanded it . He argued that capitalism and industrialization pushed laborers so hard that they began to see themselves as extensions of the objects they were producing . At the beginning of One-Dimensional Man Marcuse writes , The people recognize themselves in their commodities ; they find their soul in their automobile , hi-fi set , split-level home , kitchen equipment , meaning that under capitalism ( in consumer society ) humans become extensions of the commodities that they buy , thus making commodities extensions of peoples minds and bodies . Affluent mass technological societies , he argues , are totally controlled and manipulated . In societies based upon mass production and mass distribution , the individual worker has become merely a consumer of its commodities and entire commodified way of life . Modern capitalism has created false needs and false consciousness geared to consumption of commodities : it locks one-dimensional man into the one-dimensional society which produced the need for people to recognize themselves in their commodities . The very mechanism that ties the individual to his society has changed and social control is anchored in the new needs which it has produced . Most important of all , the pressure of consumerism has led to the total integration of the working class into the capitalist system . Its political parties and trade unions have become thoroughly bureaucratized and the power of negative thinking or critical reflection has rapidly declined . The working class is no longer a potentially subversive force capable of bringing about revolutionary change . As a result , rather than looking to the workers as the revolutionary vanguard , Marcuse put his faith in an alliance between radical intellectuals and those groups not yet integrated into one-dimensional society , the socially marginalized , the substratum of the outcasts and outsiders , the exploited and persecuted of other ethnicities and other colors , the unemployed and the unemployable . These were the people whose standards of living demanded the ending of intolerable conditions and institutions and whose resistance to one-dimensional society would not be diverted by the system . Their opposition was revolutionary even if their consciousness was not . Criticism . Leszek Kołakowski described Marcuses views as essentially anti-Marxist , in that they ignored Marxs critique of Hegel and discarded the historical theory of class struggle entirely in favor of an inverted Freudian reading of human history where all social rules could and should be discarded to create a New World of Happiness . Kołakowski concluded that Marcuses ideal society is to be ruled despotically by an enlightened group [ who ] have realized in themselves the unity of Logos and Eros , and thrown off the vexatious authority of logic , mathematics , and the empirical sciences . The philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre asserted that Marcuse falsely assumed consumers were completely passive , uncritically responding to corporate advertising . MacIntyre frankly opposed Marcuse . It will be my crucial contention in this book , MacIntyre stated , that almost all of Marcuses key positions are false . For example , Marcuse was not an orthodox Marxist . Like many of the Frankfurt School , Marcuse wrote of critical theory not of Marxism and MacIntyre notes a similarity in this to the Right Hegelians , whom Marx attacked . Hence , MacIntyre proposed that Marcuse be regarded as a pre-Marxist thinker . According to MacIntyre , Marcuses assumptions about advanced industrial society were wrong in whole and in part . Marcuse , concluded MacIntyre , invokes the great names of freedom and reason while betraying their substance at every important point . Legacy . Herbert Marcuse appealed to students of the New Left through his emphasis on the power of critical thought and his vision of total human emancipation and a non-repressive civilization . He supported students he felt were subject to the pressures of a commodifying system , and has been regarded as an inspirational intellectual leader . He is also considered among the most influential of the Frankfurt School critical theorists on American culture , due to his studies on student and counter-cultural movements on the 1960s .

] | easy | Who did Herbert Marcuse work for from 1965 to 1966? | /wiki/Herbert_Marcuse#P108#1 | Herbert Marcuse Herbert Marcuse ( ; ; July 19 , 1898 – July 29 , 1979 ) was a German-American philosopher , sociologist , and political theorist , associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory . Born in Berlin , Marcuse studied at the Humboldt University of Berlin and then at Freiburg , where he received his PhD . He was a prominent figure in the Frankfurt-based Institute for Social Research – what later became known as the Frankfurt School . He was married to Sophie Wertheim ( 1924–1951 ) , Inge Neumann ( 1955–1973 ) , and Erica Sherover ( 1976–1979 ) . In his written works , he criticized capitalism , modern technology , Soviet Communism and entertainment culture , arguing that they represent new forms of social control . Between 1943 and 1950 , Marcuse worked in US government service for the Office of Strategic Services ( predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency ) where he criticized the ideology of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the book ( 1958 ) . In the 1960s and the 1970s he became known as the preeminent theorist of the New Left and the student movements of West Germany , France , and the United States ; some consider him the Father of the New Left . His best known works are Eros and Civilization ( 1955 ) and One-Dimensional Man ( 1964 ) . His Marxist scholarship inspired many radical intellectuals and political activists in the 1960s and 1970s , both in the United States and internationally . Biography . Early years . Herbert Marcuse was born July 19 , 1898 , in Berlin , to Carl Marcuse and Gertrud Kreslawsky . His family was Jewish . In 1916 he was drafted into the German Army , but only worked in horse stables in Berlin during World War I . He then became a member of a Soldiers Council that participated in the aborted socialist Spartacist uprising . He completed his PhD thesis at the University of Freiburg in 1922 on the German Künstlerroman after which he moved back to Berlin , where he worked in publishing . In 1924 he married Sophie Wertheim , a mathematician . He returned to Freiburg in 1928 to study with Edmund Husserl and write a habilitation with Martin Heidegger , which was published in 1932 as Hegels Ontology and the Theory of Historicity ( Hegels Ontologie und die Theorie der Geschichtlichkeit ) . This study was written in the context of the Hegel renaissance that was taking place in Europe with an emphasis on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels ontology of life and history , idealist theory of spirit and dialectic . With his academic career blocked by the rise of the Third Reich , in 1933 Marcuse joined the Institute for Social Research , popularly known as the Frankfurt School . He went almost at once into exile with them , first briefly in Geneva , then in the United States . Unlike some others , Marcuse did not return to Germany after the war . When he visited Frankfurt in 1956 , the young Jürgen Habermas was surprised that he was a key member of the Institute . In 1933 , Marcuse published his first major review , of Karl Marxs Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 . In this review , Marcuse revised the interpretation of Marxism , from the standpoint of the works of the early Marx . Emigration to the United States . After leaving Germany for Switzerland in May 1933 , Marcuse emigrated to the United States in June 1934 , where he became a citizen in 1940 . Although he never returned to Germany to live , he remained one of the major theorists associated with the Frankfurt School , along with Max Horkheimer and Theodor W . Adorno ( among others ) . In 1940 he published Reason and Revolution , a dialectical work studying G . W . F . Hegel and Karl Marx . While a member of the Frankfurt School ( also known as the Institute of Social Research ) , Marcuse developed a model for critical social theory , created a theory of the new stage of state and monopoly capitalism , described the relationships between philosophy , social theory , and cultural criticism , and provided an analysis and critique of German fascism . Marcuse worked closely with critical theorists while at the institute . World War II . During World War II , Marcuse first worked for the US Office of War Information ( OWI ) on anti-Nazi propaganda projects . In 1943 , he transferred to the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Services ( OSS ) , the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency . Directed by the Harvard historian William L . Langer , the Research and Analysis ( R & A ) Branch was in fact the biggest American research institution in the first half of the twentieth century . At its zenith between 1943 and 1945 , it employed over twelve hundred , four hundred of whom were stationed abroad . In many respects , it was the site where post-World War II American social science was born , with protégés of some of the most esteemed American university professors , as well as a large contingent of European intellectual émigrés , in its ranks . These men comprised the theoretical brain trust of the American war machine , which , according to its founder , William J . Donovan , would function as a final clearinghouse for the secret services—that is , as a structure that , although not engaged in determining war strategy or tactics , would be able to assemble , organize , analyze , and filter the immense flow of military information directed toward Washington , thanks to the unique capacity of the specialists on hand to interpret the relevant sources . In March 1943 , Marcuse joined his fellow Frankfurt School scholar Franz Neumann in R & As Central European Section as senior analyst and rapidly established himself as the leading analyst on Germany . After the dissolution of the OSS in 1945 , Marcuse was employed by the US Department of State as head of the Central European section , becoming an intelligence analyst of Nazism . A compilation of Marcuses reports was published in . He retired after the death of his first wife in 1951 . Post-war . In 1952 , Marcuse began a teaching career as a political theorist , first at Columbia University , then at Harvard University . Marcuse worked at Brandeis University from 1954 to 1965 , then at the University of California San Diego from 1965 to 1970 . It was during his time at Brandeis that he wrote his most famous work , One-Dimensional Man ( 1964 ) . Marcuse was a friend and collaborator of the political sociologist Barrington Moore Jr . and of the political philosopher Robert Paul Wolff , and also a friend of the Columbia University sociology professor C . Wright Mills , one of the founders of the New Left movement . In his Introduction to One-Dimensional Man , Marcuse wrote , I should like to emphasize the vital importance of the work of C . Wright Mills . In the post-war period , Marcuse rejected the theory of class struggle and the Marxist concern with labor , instead claiming , according to Leszek Kołakowski , that since all questions of material existence have been solved , moral commands and prohibitions are no longer relevant . He regarded the realization of mans erotic nature as the true liberation of humanity , which inspired the utopias of Jerry Rubin and others . Marcuses critiques of capitalist society ( especially his 1955 synthesis of Marx and Sigmund Freud , Eros and Civilization , and his 1964 book One-Dimensional Man ) resonated with the concerns of the student movement in the 1960s . Because of his willingness to speak at student protests and his essay Repressive Tolerance ( 1965 ) , Marcuse soon became known in the media as Father of the New Left . Contending that the students of the sixties were not waiting for the publication of his work to act , Marcuse brushed the medias branding of him as Father of the New Left aside lightly , saying It would have been better to call me not the father , but the grandfather , of the New Left . His work heavily influenced intellectual discourse on popular culture and scholarly popular culture studies . He had many speaking engagements in the US and Western Bloc in the late 1960s and 1970s . He became a close friend and inspirer of the French philosopher André Gorz . Marcuse defended the arrested East German dissident Rudolf Bahro ( author of Die Alternative : Zur Kritik des real existierenden Sozialismus [ trans. , The Alternative in Eastern Europe ] ) , discussing in a 1979 essay Bahros theories of change from within . The New Left and radical politics . Many radical scholars and activists were influenced by Marcuse , such as Norman O . Brown , Angela Davis , Charles J . Moore , Abbie Hoffman , Rudi Dutschke , and Robert M . Young ( see the List of Scholars and Activists link below ) . Among those who critiqued him from the left were Marxist-humanist Raya Dunayevskaya , fellow German emigre Paul Mattick , both of whom subjected One-Dimensional Man to a Marxist critique , and Noam Chomsky , who knew and liked Marcuse but thought very little of his work . Marcuses 1965 essay Repressive Tolerance , in which he claimed capitalist democracies can have totalitarian aspects , has been criticized by conservatives . Marcuse argues that genuine tolerance does not permit support for repression , since doing so ensures that marginalized voices will remain unheard . He characterizes tolerance of repressive speech as inauthentic . Instead , he advocates a form of tolerance that is intolerant of repressive ( namely right-wing ) political movements : Marcuse later expressed his radical ideas through three pieces of writing . He wrote An Essay on Liberation in 1969 , in which he celebrated liberation movements such as those in Vietnam , which inspired many radicals . In 1972 he wrote Counterrevolution and Revolt , which argues that the hopes of the 1960s were facing a counterrevolution from the right . After Brandeis denied the renewal of his teaching contract in 1965 , Marcuse taught at the University of California San Diego . In 1968 , California Governor Ronald Reagan and other conservatives objected to his reappointment , but the university decided to let his contract run until 1970 . He devoted the rest of his life to teaching , writing and giving lectures around the world . His efforts brought him attention from the media , which claimed that he openly advocated violence , although he often clarified that only violence of defense could be appropriate , not violence of aggression . He continued to promote Marxian theory , with some of his students helping to spread his ideas . He published his final work The Aesthetic Dimension in 1979 on the role of art in the process of what he termed emancipation from bourgeois society . Marriages . Marcuse married three times . His first wife was mathematician Sophie Wertheim ( 1901–1951 ) , with whom he had a son , Peter ( born 1928 ) . She died in 1951 . Herberts second marriage was to Inge Neumann ( 1910–1973 ) , the widow of his close friend Franz Neumann ( 1900–1954 ) . She died in 1973 . His third wife was Erica Sherover ( 1938–1988 ) , a former graduate student and forty years his junior , whom he married in 1976 . His son Peter Marcuse is professor emeritus of urban planning at Columbia University . His granddaughter is the novelist Irene Marcuse and his grandson , Harold Marcuse , is a professor of history at the University of California , Santa Barbara . Death . On July 29 , 1979 , ten days after his eighty-first birthday , Marcuse died after suffering a stroke during a visit to Germany . He had spoken at the Frankfurt Römerberggespräche , and was on his way to the Max Planck Institute for the Study of the Scientific-Technical World in Starnberg , on invitation from second-generation Frankfurt School theorist Jürgen Habermas . In 2003 , after his ashes were rediscovered in the United States , they were buried in the Dorotheenstädtischer cemetery in Berlin . Philosophy and views . Marcuses famous concept repressive desublimation refers to his argument that postwar mass culture , with its profusion of sexual provocations , serves to reinforce political repression . If people are preoccupied with inauthentic sexual stimulation , their political energy will be desublimated ; instead of acting constructively to change the world , they remain repressed and uncritical . Marcuse advanced the prewar thinking of critical theory toward a critical account of the one-dimensional nature of bourgeois life in Europe and America . His thinking could , therefore , also be considered an advance of the concerns of earlier liberal critics such as David Riesman . Two aspects of Marcuses work are of particular importance , first , his use of language more familiar from the critique of Soviet or Nazi regimes to characterize developments in the advanced industrial world ; and second , his grounding of critical theory in a particular use of psychoanalytic thought . Both of these features of his thinking have often been misunderstood and have given rise to critiques of his work that miss the point of his targets . Marcuses early Heideggerian Marxism . During his years in Freiburg , Marcuse wrote a series of essays that explored the possibility of synthesizing Marxism and Heideggers fundamental ontology , as begun in the latters work Being and Time ( 1927 ) . This early interest in Heidegger followed Marcuses demand for concrete philosophy , which , he declared in 1928 , concerns itself with the truth of contemporaneous human existence . These words were directed against the neo-Kantianism of the mainstream , and against both the revisionist and orthodox Marxist alternatives , in which the subjectivity of the individual played little role . Though Marcuse quickly distanced himself from Heidegger following Heideggers endorsement of Nazism , it has been suggested by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas that an understanding of Marcuses later thinking demands an appreciation of his early Heideggerian influence . Marcuse and capitalism . Marcuses analysis of capitalism derives partially from one of Karl Marxs main concepts : Objectification , which under capitalism becomes Alienation . Marx believed that capitalism was exploiting humans ; that by producing objects of a certain character , laborers became alienated and this ultimately dehumanized them into functional objects themselves . Marcuse took this belief and expanded it . He argued that capitalism and industrialization pushed laborers so hard that they began to see themselves as extensions of the objects they were producing . At the beginning of One-Dimensional Man Marcuse writes , The people recognize themselves in their commodities ; they find their soul in their automobile , hi-fi set , split-level home , kitchen equipment , meaning that under capitalism ( in consumer society ) humans become extensions of the commodities that they buy , thus making commodities extensions of peoples minds and bodies . Affluent mass technological societies , he argues , are totally controlled and manipulated . In societies based upon mass production and mass distribution , the individual worker has become merely a consumer of its commodities and entire commodified way of life . Modern capitalism has created false needs and false consciousness geared to consumption of commodities : it locks one-dimensional man into the one-dimensional society which produced the need for people to recognize themselves in their commodities . The very mechanism that ties the individual to his society has changed and social control is anchored in the new needs which it has produced . Most important of all , the pressure of consumerism has led to the total integration of the working class into the capitalist system . Its political parties and trade unions have become thoroughly bureaucratized and the power of negative thinking or critical reflection has rapidly declined . The working class is no longer a potentially subversive force capable of bringing about revolutionary change . As a result , rather than looking to the workers as the revolutionary vanguard , Marcuse put his faith in an alliance between radical intellectuals and those groups not yet integrated into one-dimensional society , the socially marginalized , the substratum of the outcasts and outsiders , the exploited and persecuted of other ethnicities and other colors , the unemployed and the unemployable . These were the people whose standards of living demanded the ending of intolerable conditions and institutions and whose resistance to one-dimensional society would not be diverted by the system . Their opposition was revolutionary even if their consciousness was not . Criticism . Leszek Kołakowski described Marcuses views as essentially anti-Marxist , in that they ignored Marxs critique of Hegel and discarded the historical theory of class struggle entirely in favor of an inverted Freudian reading of human history where all social rules could and should be discarded to create a New World of Happiness . Kołakowski concluded that Marcuses ideal society is to be ruled despotically by an enlightened group [ who ] have realized in themselves the unity of Logos and Eros , and thrown off the vexatious authority of logic , mathematics , and the empirical sciences . The philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre asserted that Marcuse falsely assumed consumers were completely passive , uncritically responding to corporate advertising . MacIntyre frankly opposed Marcuse . It will be my crucial contention in this book , MacIntyre stated , that almost all of Marcuses key positions are false . For example , Marcuse was not an orthodox Marxist . Like many of the Frankfurt School , Marcuse wrote of critical theory not of Marxism and MacIntyre notes a similarity in this to the Right Hegelians , whom Marx attacked . Hence , MacIntyre proposed that Marcuse be regarded as a pre-Marxist thinker . According to MacIntyre , Marcuses assumptions about advanced industrial society were wrong in whole and in part . Marcuse , concluded MacIntyre , invokes the great names of freedom and reason while betraying their substance at every important point . Legacy . Herbert Marcuse appealed to students of the New Left through his emphasis on the power of critical thought and his vision of total human emancipation and a non-repressive civilization . He supported students he felt were subject to the pressures of a commodifying system , and has been regarded as an inspirational intellectual leader . He is also considered among the most influential of the Frankfurt School critical theorists on American culture , due to his studies on student and counter-cultural movements on the 1960s . The legacy of the 1960s , of which Marcuse was a vital part , lives on , and the great refusal is still practiced by oppositional groups and individuals .

"Chairman of the U.S . House Committee on the Budget"
] | easy | What was the position of Leon Panetta from 1991 to 1993? | /wiki/Leon_Panetta#P39#0 | Leon Panetta Leon Edward Panetta ( born June 28 , 1938 ) is an American politician who has served in several different public office positions , including the Secretary of Defense , Director of the CIA , White House Chief of Staff , Director of the Office of Management and Budget , and as a U.S . Representative from California . A Democrat , Panetta was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993 , served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget from 1993 to 1994 , and as President Bill Clintons Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 . He co-founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy and served as a Distinguished Scholar to Chancellor Charles B . Reed of the California State University System and as a professor of public policy at Santa Clara University . In January 2009 , newly elected President Barack Obama nominated Panetta for the post of CIA Director . Panetta was confirmed by the full Senate in February 2009 . As director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the operation that brought down international terrorist Osama bin Laden . On April 28 , 2011 , Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as Defense Secretary , to replace the retiring Robert Gates . In June the Senate confirmed Panetta unanimously and he assumed the office on July 1 , 2011 . David Petraeus took over as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on September 6 , 2011 . Since retiring as Secretary of Defense in 2013 , Panetta has served as Chairman of The Panetta Institute for Public Policy , located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus of the California State University that he helped establish during his tenure as congressman . The institute is dedicated to motivating and preparing people for lives of public service and helping them to become more knowledgeably engaged in the democratic process . He also serves on a number of boards and commissions and frequently writes and lectures on public policy issues . Early life , education , and military service . Panetta was born in Monterey , California , the son of Carmelina Maria ( Prochilo ) and Carmelo Frank Panetta , Italian immigrants from Siderno in Calabria , Italy . In the 1940s , the Panetta family owned a restaurant in Monterey . He was raised in the Monterey area , and attended two Catholic grammar schools : San Carlos School ( Monterey ) and Junípero Serra School ( Carmel ) . He attended Monterey High School , a public school where he became involved in student politics , and was a member of the Junior Statesmen of America . As a junior , he was the vice president of the Student Body , and as a senior , he became its president . In 1956 , he entered Santa Clara University , California , and graduated magna cum laude in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science . In 1963 , he received a Juris Doctor from the Santa Clara University School of Law . In 1964 , he joined the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant , where he served as an officer in Army Military Intelligence , and received the Army Commendation Medal . In 1966 , he was discharged as a First Lieutenant . Political career . Early political career . Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel , the United States Senate Minority Whip from California , whom Panetta has called a tremendous role model . In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H . Finch , Secretary of the United States Department of Health , Education , and Welfare under the Nixon administration . Soon thereafter he was appointed Director of the Office for Civil Rights . Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws over the objection of President Nixon , who wanted enforcement to move slowly in keeping with his strategy to gain political support among Southern whites . Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John Veneman supported Panetta and refused to fire him , threatening to resign if forced to do so . Eventually forced out of office in 1970 , Panetta left Washington to work as Executive Assistant for John Lindsay , the then-Republican Mayor of New York City ( Lindsay would switch parties the following year. ) Panetta wrote about his Nixon administration experience in his 1971 book Bring Us Together . He moved back to Monterey to practice law at Panetta , Thompson & Panetta from 1971 to 1976 . U.S . House of Representatives . Elections . Like Lindsay , Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in 1971 , because , he said , he thought that the Republican Party was moving away from the political center . In 1976 , Panetta was elected to the U.S . Congress to represent Californias then-16th congressional district , unseating incumbent Republican Burt Talcott with 53% of the vote . He would never face another contest nearly that close , and was reelected eight times . ( With a few boundary adjustments , the 16th district became the 17th district after the 1990 census and is the 20th district today . It consists of all of Monterey and San Benito Counties , plus most of Santa Cruz County , including the city of Santa Cruz . At the time of Panettas first election , it also included the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. ) Tenure . During his time in Congress , Panetta concentrated mostly on budget issues , civil rights , education , healthcare , agriculture , immigration , and environmental protection , particularly preventing oil drilling off the California coast . He wrote the Hunger Prevention Act ( Public Law 100–435 ) of 1988 and the Fair Employment Practices Resolution . He was the author of legislation establishing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary , and legislation providing Medicare coverage for hospice care . Working with Chancellor Barry Munitz of CSU , he helped establish CSU Monterey Bay at the former Fort Ord military base . He also attempted to form the Big Sur National Scenic Area with Senator Alan Cranston . The bill would have created a scenic area administered by the U.S . Forest Service . It budgeted $100 million to buy land from private land owners , up to $30 million for easements and management programs , and created a state plan for a zone about long and wide along the Big Sur coast . The bill was opposed by California Senator S . I . Hayakawa , development interests , and Big Sur residents . Local residents mocked the plan as Panettas Pave n Save , and raised a fund of more than $100,000 to lobby against the proposal . The legislation was blocked by Hayakawa in the Energy Committee and did not reach a vote . Budget Committee . A member of the House Committee on the Budget from 1979 to 1989 , and its chairman from 1989 to 1993 , Panetta played a key role in the 1990 Budget Summit . Committee assignments . His positions included : - Chairman of the U.S . House Committee on the Budget - Chairman of the Agriculture Committees Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing , Consumer Relations , and Nutrition - Chairman of the Administration Committees Subcommittee on Personnel and Police - Chairman of the Task Force on Domestic Hunger created by the U.S . House Select Committee on Hunger - Vice Chairman of the Caucus of Vietnam-Era Veterans in Congress - Member of the Presidents Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies . Director of the Office of Management and Budget . Though elected to a ninth term in 1992 , Panetta left the House at the beginning of 1993 , after President-elect Bill Clinton selected him to serve as Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget . In that role he developed the budget package that would eventually result in the balanced budget of 1998 . White House Chief of Staff . In 1994 , President Clinton became increasingly concerned about a lack of order and focus in the White House and asked Panetta to become his new chief of staff , replacing Mack McLarty . According to author Nigel Hamilton , Panetta replaced McLarty for the rest of Clintons first term—and the rest is history . To be a great leader , a modern president must have a great chief of staff—and in Leon Panetta , Clinton got the enforcer he deserved . Panetta was appointed White House Chief of Staff on July 17 , 1994 , and he held that position until January 20 , 1997 . He was a key negotiator of the 1996 budget , which was another important step toward bringing the budget into balance . Director of the CIA . Nomination . On January 5 , 2009 , President-elect Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Panetta to the post of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency . At the time of his selection , journalists and politicians raised concerns about Panettas limited experience in intelligence , aside from his two-year service as a military intelligence officer in the 1960s . California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein , the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence , expressed concerns that she was not consulted about the Panetta appointment and stated her belief that the Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time . Former CIA officer Ishmael Jones stated that Panetta was a wise choice , because of his close personal connection to the President and lack of exposure to the CIA bureaucracy . Also , Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said that Panetta did have exposure to intelligence operations as Director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton , where he sat in on the daily intelligence briefings as chief of staff , and he reviewed the nations most secret intelligence-collection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management and Budget . On February 12 , 2009 , Panetta was confirmed in the full Senate by voice vote . Tenure . On February 19 , 2009 , Panetta was sworn in as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency by Vice President Joe Biden before an audience of CIA employees . Panetta reportedly received a rock star welcome from his new subordinates . As CIA Director , Panetta traveled extensively to intelligence outposts around the world and worked with international leaders to confront threats of Islamic extremism and Taliban . In 2010 working with the Senate Intelligence Committee , he conducted a secret review of the use of torture by the CIA ( euphemistically referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques ) during the administration of George W . Bush . The review , which came to be known by 2014 as the Panetta Review , yielded a series of memoranda that , according to The New York Times , cast a particularly harsh light on the Bush-era interrogation program . The Times notes The effort to write the exhaustive history of the C.I.A.’s detention operations was fraught from the beginning . President Obama officially ended the program during his first week in office , in 2009 . The intelligence committee announced its intention to take a hard look at the program , but there was little appetite inside the [ Obama ] White House to accede to the committee’s request for all classified C.I.A . cables related to it . The findings of the Panetta Review reportedly aligned with much of what the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture found in its factual accounting . Both reports were largely seen as an effort in fact-finding and prevention , but not a governmental path towards some possible project of accountability or punishment for past interrogation or torture . Panetta supported the Obama administrations campaign of U.S . drone strikes in Pakistan , which he identified as the most effective weapon against senior al-Qaeda leadership . Drone strikes increased significantly under Panetta , with as many as 50 suspected al-Qaeda militants being killed in May 2009 alone . As Director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the hunt for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden , and played a key role in the operation in which bin Laden was killed on May 1 , 2011 . Under Panetta , the CIA advanced workplace rights and benefits for LGBT employees ; the agency for the first time implemented policies extending benefits to the same-sex partners of employees . Secretary of Defense ( 2011–2013 ) . Nomination . On April 28 , 2011 , President Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as United States Secretary of Defense as a replacement for retiring Secretary Robert Gates . On June 21 , 2011 , the Senate confirmed Panetta in an unusual 100–0 vote . He was sworn in on July 1 , 2011 . Tenure . One of Panettas first major acts as Defense Secretary was to jointly certify with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the military was prepared to repeal Dont Ask , Dont Tell , which triggered final repeal after 60 days . In August 2011 , Panetta publicly warned that deeper cuts in the defense budget risked hollowing out the military and would hamper Pentagon efforts to deal with rising powers such as China , North Korea , and Iran and he urged Congress not to go beyond the roughly $500 billion in defense cuts required over the next decade under the debt reduction bill signed by President Barack Obama . Working with military and civilian leaders at the Department of Defense , Panetta developed a new defense strategy for the 21st century . Funding the United States military , in the face of tightening budget constraints , became an ongoing theme of Panettas tenure . He also warned that future service members may see changes in retirement benefits , and that the military healthcare system may need reforms , to rein in costs , while also ensuring quality care . Another major issue during Panettas tenure as Defense Secretary was the Obama administrations diplomatic effort to dissuade Iran from developing nuclear weapons . In January 2012 , Panetta stated that nuclear weapons development was a red line that Iran would not be allowed to cross—and that the United States was keeping all options , including military ones , open to completely prevent it . He said that Iran would not be allowed to block the Straits of Hormuz . In January 2013 , shortly before his departure from the Defense Secretary post , Panetta announced that women would be allowed to enter all combat jobs in the military , citing an assessment phase in which each branch of service will examine all its jobs and units not currently integrated and then produce a timetable for integrating them . Activities outside politics . Panetta and his wife Sylvia founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in December 1997 and served as co-directors there until 2009 , when Panetta was appointed CIA director by President Obama . He has since returned to the Institute in the role of Chairman , while his wife serves as Co-Chair and CEO , supervising the institutes day-to-day operations . The institute is located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus Panetta was instrumental in creating on the site of the decommissioned Fort Ord Army base when he was a Congressman . Coincidentally , Panetta was stationed at Fort Ord in the 1960s during his service as an Army intelligence officer . Panetta served on the board of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation , as a Distinguished Scholar to the Chancellor of California State University and as a Presidential Professor at Santa Clara University . He was urged to consider running for Governor of California during the recall election in 2003 but declined in part because of the short time available to raise the necessary campaign funds . Panetta has long been an advocate for the worlds oceans . In addition to introducing legislation and winning passage of ocean protections measures such as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary during his time in Congress , he was named chairman in 2003 of the Pew Oceans Commission , which in 2005 combined with the U.S . Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative . Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D . Watkins , U.S . Navy ( Ret. ) and continues to serve as a Commission member . Panetta also serves as an advocate and information source for other ocean organizations , including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and the Monterey Bay Aquarium . In 2006 , Panetta was part of the presidentially-appointed Iraq Study Group , or Baker Commission , which studied potential changes in U.S . policy in Iraq . In 2014 , Panetta published his memoir Worthy Fights , in which he recounted his long career in public service . While overwhelmingly positive in his assessment of the Obama presidency , Panetta aired some disagreements in the book with the Presidents policies in Syria and Iraq . Panetta said : By failing to persuade Iraqs leader to allow a continuing force of US troops , the commander in chief created a vacuum . . . and its out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed . He regularly obtains fees for speaking engagements , including from the Carlyle Group . He is also a supporter of Booz Allen Hamilton . After Secretary of Defense ( 2013–present ) . Panetta was a speaker on Day 3 of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in which Hillary Clinton was nominated to run as the Democratic candidate in the presidential election that year . Notably , his speech was booed by anti-war supporters of Bernie Sanders who protested his war record . Panetta told CBS News that Congress releasing the Nunes Memo , which purported to provide intelligence about the open Russia probe , could cause damage to national security . Responsibilities . Panetta has held positions within a number of institutions and corporations , including : - Joint Ocean Commission Initiative , Commissioner and Co-Chair - Pew Oceans Commission , Commissioner and Chairman - Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget , Co-Chair - Bread for the World , Board of Directors - National Marine Sanctuary Foundation , Board of Directors - National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management , Board of Directors ( 2004–2009 ) - New York Stock Exchange , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Board of Directors ( 1997–present ) - Close Up Foundation , Board of Directors ( 1999–present ) - Connetics Investor Relations , Board of Directors ( 2000–present ) - Fleishman-Hillard , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Co-chairman of the Corporate Credibility Advisory practice - Member of the International Advisory Board - Junior Statesmen Foundation Inc. , Trustee ( 2004 ) - Public Policy Institute of California , Board of Directors - Blue Shield of California , Board of Directors ( 2013–present ) - Oracle Corporation , Board of Directors ( 2015–present ) In June 2002 , the U.S . Conference of Catholic Bishops appointed Panetta to their National Review Board , which was created to look into the Catholic Churchs sexual abuse scandal . This created controversy because of Panettas pro-choice stance on abortion and other views seen as conflicting with those of the Church . Panetta is also a member of the Partnership for a Secure Americas bipartisan Advisory Board . The Partnership is a non-profit organization based in Washington , DC that promotes bipartisan solutions to national security and foreign policy issues .

Since retiring as Secretary of Defense in 2013 , Panetta has served as Chairman of The Panetta Institute for Public Policy , located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus of the California State University that he helped establish during his tenure as congressman . The institute is dedicated to motivating and preparing people for lives of public service and helping them to become more knowledgeably engaged in the democratic process . He also serves on a number of boards and commissions and frequently writes and lectures on public policy issues . Early life , education , and military service . Panetta was born in Monterey , California , the son of Carmelina Maria ( Prochilo ) and Carmelo Frank Panetta , Italian immigrants from Siderno in Calabria , Italy . In the 1940s , the Panetta family owned a restaurant in Monterey . He was raised in the Monterey area , and attended two Catholic grammar schools : San Carlos School ( Monterey ) and Junípero Serra School ( Carmel ) . He attended Monterey High School , a public school where he became involved in student politics , and was a member of the Junior Statesmen of America . As a junior , he was the vice president of the Student Body , and as a senior , he became its president . In 1956 , he entered Santa Clara University , California , and graduated magna cum laude in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science . In 1963 , he received a Juris Doctor from the Santa Clara University School of Law . In 1964 , he joined the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant , where he served as an officer in Army Military Intelligence , and received the Army Commendation Medal . In 1966 , he was discharged as a First Lieutenant . Political career . Early political career . Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel , the United States Senate Minority Whip from California , whom Panetta has called a tremendous role model . In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H . Finch , Secretary of the United States Department of Health , Education , and Welfare under the Nixon administration . Soon thereafter he was appointed Director of the Office for Civil Rights . Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws over the objection of President Nixon , who wanted enforcement to move slowly in keeping with his strategy to gain political support among Southern whites . Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John Veneman supported Panetta and refused to fire him , threatening to resign if forced to do so . Eventually forced out of office in 1970 , Panetta left Washington to work as Executive Assistant for John Lindsay , the then-Republican Mayor of New York City ( Lindsay would switch parties the following year. ) Panetta wrote about his Nixon administration experience in his 1971 book Bring Us Together . He moved back to Monterey to practice law at Panetta , Thompson & Panetta from 1971 to 1976 . U.S . House of Representatives . Elections . Like Lindsay , Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in 1971 , because , he said , he thought that the Republican Party was moving away from the political center . In 1976 , Panetta was elected to the U.S . Congress to represent Californias then-16th congressional district , unseating incumbent Republican Burt Talcott with 53% of the vote . He would never face another contest nearly that close , and was reelected eight times . ( With a few boundary adjustments , the 16th district became the 17th district after the 1990 census and is the 20th district today . It consists of all of Monterey and San Benito Counties , plus most of Santa Cruz County , including the city of Santa Cruz . At the time of Panettas first election , it also included the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. ) Tenure . During his time in Congress , Panetta concentrated mostly on budget issues , civil rights , education , healthcare , agriculture , immigration , and environmental protection , particularly preventing oil drilling off the California coast . He wrote the Hunger Prevention Act ( Public Law 100–435 ) of 1988 and the Fair Employment Practices Resolution . He was the author of legislation establishing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary , and legislation providing Medicare coverage for hospice care . Working with Chancellor Barry Munitz of CSU , he helped establish CSU Monterey Bay at the former Fort Ord military base . He also attempted to form the Big Sur National Scenic Area with Senator Alan Cranston . The bill would have created a scenic area administered by the U.S . Forest Service . It budgeted $100 million to buy land from private land owners , up to $30 million for easements and management programs , and created a state plan for a zone about long and wide along the Big Sur coast . The bill was opposed by California Senator S . I . Hayakawa , development interests , and Big Sur residents . Local residents mocked the plan as Panettas Pave n Save , and raised a fund of more than $100,000 to lobby against the proposal . The legislation was blocked by Hayakawa in the Energy Committee and did not reach a vote . Budget Committee . A member of the House Committee on the Budget from 1979 to 1989 , and its chairman from 1989 to 1993 , Panetta played a key role in the 1990 Budget Summit . Committee assignments . His positions included : - Chairman of the U.S . House Committee on the Budget - Chairman of the Agriculture Committees Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing , Consumer Relations , and Nutrition - Chairman of the Administration Committees Subcommittee on Personnel and Police - Chairman of the Task Force on Domestic Hunger created by the U.S . House Select Committee on Hunger - Vice Chairman of the Caucus of Vietnam-Era Veterans in Congress - Member of the Presidents Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies . Director of the Office of Management and Budget . Though elected to a ninth term in 1992 , Panetta left the House at the beginning of 1993 , after President-elect Bill Clinton selected him to serve as Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget . In that role he developed the budget package that would eventually result in the balanced budget of 1998 . White House Chief of Staff . In 1994 , President Clinton became increasingly concerned about a lack of order and focus in the White House and asked Panetta to become his new chief of staff , replacing Mack McLarty . According to author Nigel Hamilton , Panetta replaced McLarty for the rest of Clintons first term—and the rest is history . To be a great leader , a modern president must have a great chief of staff—and in Leon Panetta , Clinton got the enforcer he deserved . Panetta was appointed White House Chief of Staff on July 17 , 1994 , and he held that position until January 20 , 1997 . He was a key negotiator of the 1996 budget , which was another important step toward bringing the budget into balance . Director of the CIA . Nomination . On January 5 , 2009 , President-elect Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Panetta to the post of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency . At the time of his selection , journalists and politicians raised concerns about Panettas limited experience in intelligence , aside from his two-year service as a military intelligence officer in the 1960s . California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein , the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence , expressed concerns that she was not consulted about the Panetta appointment and stated her belief that the Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time . Former CIA officer Ishmael Jones stated that Panetta was a wise choice , because of his close personal connection to the President and lack of exposure to the CIA bureaucracy . Also , Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said that Panetta did have exposure to intelligence operations as Director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton , where he sat in on the daily intelligence briefings as chief of staff , and he reviewed the nations most secret intelligence-collection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management and Budget . On February 12 , 2009 , Panetta was confirmed in the full Senate by voice vote . Tenure . On February 19 , 2009 , Panetta was sworn in as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency by Vice President Joe Biden before an audience of CIA employees . Panetta reportedly received a rock star welcome from his new subordinates . As CIA Director , Panetta traveled extensively to intelligence outposts around the world and worked with international leaders to confront threats of Islamic extremism and Taliban . In 2010 working with the Senate Intelligence Committee , he conducted a secret review of the use of torture by the CIA ( euphemistically referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques ) during the administration of George W . Bush . The review , which came to be known by 2014 as the Panetta Review , yielded a series of memoranda that , according to The New York Times , cast a particularly harsh light on the Bush-era interrogation program . The Times notes The effort to write the exhaustive history of the C.I.A.’s detention operations was fraught from the beginning . President Obama officially ended the program during his first week in office , in 2009 . The intelligence committee announced its intention to take a hard look at the program , but there was little appetite inside the [ Obama ] White House to accede to the committee’s request for all classified C.I.A . cables related to it . The findings of the Panetta Review reportedly aligned with much of what the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture found in its factual accounting . Both reports were largely seen as an effort in fact-finding and prevention , but not a governmental path towards some possible project of accountability or punishment for past interrogation or torture . Panetta supported the Obama administrations campaign of U.S . drone strikes in Pakistan , which he identified as the most effective weapon against senior al-Qaeda leadership . Drone strikes increased significantly under Panetta , with as many as 50 suspected al-Qaeda militants being killed in May 2009 alone . As Director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the hunt for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden , and played a key role in the operation in which bin Laden was killed on May 1 , 2011 . Under Panetta , the CIA advanced workplace rights and benefits for LGBT employees ; the agency for the first time implemented policies extending benefits to the same-sex partners of employees . Secretary of Defense ( 2011–2013 ) . Nomination . On April 28 , 2011 , President Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as United States Secretary of Defense as a replacement for retiring Secretary Robert Gates . On June 21 , 2011 , the Senate confirmed Panetta in an unusual 100–0 vote . He was sworn in on July 1 , 2011 . Tenure . One of Panettas first major acts as Defense Secretary was to jointly certify with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the military was prepared to repeal Dont Ask , Dont Tell , which triggered final repeal after 60 days . In August 2011 , Panetta publicly warned that deeper cuts in the defense budget risked hollowing out the military and would hamper Pentagon efforts to deal with rising powers such as China , North Korea , and Iran and he urged Congress not to go beyond the roughly $500 billion in defense cuts required over the next decade under the debt reduction bill signed by President Barack Obama . Working with military and civilian leaders at the Department of Defense , Panetta developed a new defense strategy for the 21st century . Funding the United States military , in the face of tightening budget constraints , became an ongoing theme of Panettas tenure . He also warned that future service members may see changes in retirement benefits , and that the military healthcare system may need reforms , to rein in costs , while also ensuring quality care . Another major issue during Panettas tenure as Defense Secretary was the Obama administrations diplomatic effort to dissuade Iran from developing nuclear weapons . In January 2012 , Panetta stated that nuclear weapons development was a red line that Iran would not be allowed to cross—and that the United States was keeping all options , including military ones , open to completely prevent it . He said that Iran would not be allowed to block the Straits of Hormuz . In January 2013 , shortly before his departure from the Defense Secretary post , Panetta announced that women would be allowed to enter all combat jobs in the military , citing an assessment phase in which each branch of service will examine all its jobs and units not currently integrated and then produce a timetable for integrating them . Activities outside politics . Panetta and his wife Sylvia founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in December 1997 and served as co-directors there until 2009 , when Panetta was appointed CIA director by President Obama . He has since returned to the Institute in the role of Chairman , while his wife serves as Co-Chair and CEO , supervising the institutes day-to-day operations . The institute is located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus Panetta was instrumental in creating on the site of the decommissioned Fort Ord Army base when he was a Congressman . Coincidentally , Panetta was stationed at Fort Ord in the 1960s during his service as an Army intelligence officer . Panetta served on the board of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation , as a Distinguished Scholar to the Chancellor of California State University and as a Presidential Professor at Santa Clara University . He was urged to consider running for Governor of California during the recall election in 2003 but declined in part because of the short time available to raise the necessary campaign funds . Panetta has long been an advocate for the worlds oceans . In addition to introducing legislation and winning passage of ocean protections measures such as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary during his time in Congress , he was named chairman in 2003 of the Pew Oceans Commission , which in 2005 combined with the U.S . Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative . Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D . Watkins , U.S . Navy ( Ret. ) and continues to serve as a Commission member . Panetta also serves as an advocate and information source for other ocean organizations , including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and the Monterey Bay Aquarium . In 2006 , Panetta was part of the presidentially-appointed Iraq Study Group , or Baker Commission , which studied potential changes in U.S . policy in Iraq . In 2014 , Panetta published his memoir Worthy Fights , in which he recounted his long career in public service . While overwhelmingly positive in his assessment of the Obama presidency , Panetta aired some disagreements in the book with the Presidents policies in Syria and Iraq . Panetta said : By failing to persuade Iraqs leader to allow a continuing force of US troops , the commander in chief created a vacuum . . . and its out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed . He regularly obtains fees for speaking engagements , including from the Carlyle Group . He is also a supporter of Booz Allen Hamilton . After Secretary of Defense ( 2013–present ) . Panetta was a speaker on Day 3 of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in which Hillary Clinton was nominated to run as the Democratic candidate in the presidential election that year . Notably , his speech was booed by anti-war supporters of Bernie Sanders who protested his war record . Panetta told CBS News that Congress releasing the Nunes Memo , which purported to provide intelligence about the open Russia probe , could cause damage to national security . Responsibilities . Panetta has held positions within a number of institutions and corporations , including : - Joint Ocean Commission Initiative , Commissioner and Co-Chair - Pew Oceans Commission , Commissioner and Chairman - Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget , Co-Chair - Bread for the World , Board of Directors - National Marine Sanctuary Foundation , Board of Directors - National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management , Board of Directors ( 2004–2009 ) - New York Stock Exchange , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Board of Directors ( 1997–present ) - Close Up Foundation , Board of Directors ( 1999–present ) - Connetics Investor Relations , Board of Directors ( 2000–present ) - Fleishman-Hillard , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Co-chairman of the Corporate Credibility Advisory practice - Member of the International Advisory Board - Junior Statesmen Foundation Inc. , Trustee ( 2004 ) - Public Policy Institute of California , Board of Directors - Blue Shield of California , Board of Directors ( 2013–present ) - Oracle Corporation , Board of Directors ( 2015–present ) In June 2002 , the U.S . Conference of Catholic Bishops appointed Panetta to their National Review Board , which was created to look into the Catholic Churchs sexual abuse scandal . This created controversy because of Panettas pro-choice stance on abortion and other views seen as conflicting with those of the Church . Panetta is also a member of the Partnership for a Secure Americas bipartisan Advisory Board . The Partnership is a non-profit organization based in Washington , DC that promotes bipartisan solutions to national security and foreign policy issues . Panetta serves on the Advisory Board of the Committee to Investigate Russia . Personal life .

"Director of the CIA"
] | easy | Leon Panetta took which position from Feb 2009 to Jun 2011? | /wiki/Leon_Panetta#P39#3 | Leon Panetta Leon Edward Panetta ( born June 28 , 1938 ) is an American politician who has served in several different public office positions , including the Secretary of Defense , Director of the CIA , White House Chief of Staff , Director of the Office of Management and Budget , and as a U.S . Representative from California . A Democrat , Panetta was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993 , served as Director of the Office of Management and Budget from 1993 to 1994 , and as President Bill Clintons Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 . He co-founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy and served as a Distinguished Scholar to Chancellor Charles B . Reed of the California State University System and as a professor of public policy at Santa Clara University . In January 2009 , newly elected President Barack Obama nominated Panetta for the post of CIA Director . Panetta was confirmed by the full Senate in February 2009 . As director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the operation that brought down international terrorist Osama bin Laden . On April 28 , 2011 , Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as Defense Secretary , to replace the retiring Robert Gates . In June the Senate confirmed Panetta unanimously and he assumed the office on July 1 , 2011 . David Petraeus took over as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on September 6 , 2011 . Since retiring as Secretary of Defense in 2013 , Panetta has served as Chairman of The Panetta Institute for Public Policy , located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus of the California State University that he helped establish during his tenure as congressman . The institute is dedicated to motivating and preparing people for lives of public service and helping them to become more knowledgeably engaged in the democratic process . He also serves on a number of boards and commissions and frequently writes and lectures on public policy issues . Early life , education , and military service . Panetta was born in Monterey , California , the son of Carmelina Maria ( Prochilo ) and Carmelo Frank Panetta , Italian immigrants from Siderno in Calabria , Italy . In the 1940s , the Panetta family owned a restaurant in Monterey . He was raised in the Monterey area , and attended two Catholic grammar schools : San Carlos School ( Monterey ) and Junípero Serra School ( Carmel ) . He attended Monterey High School , a public school where he became involved in student politics , and was a member of the Junior Statesmen of America . As a junior , he was the vice president of the Student Body , and as a senior , he became its president . In 1956 , he entered Santa Clara University , California , and graduated magna cum laude in 1960 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science . In 1963 , he received a Juris Doctor from the Santa Clara University School of Law . In 1964 , he joined the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant , where he served as an officer in Army Military Intelligence , and received the Army Commendation Medal . In 1966 , he was discharged as a First Lieutenant . Political career . Early political career . Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel , the United States Senate Minority Whip from California , whom Panetta has called a tremendous role model . In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H . Finch , Secretary of the United States Department of Health , Education , and Welfare under the Nixon administration . Soon thereafter he was appointed Director of the Office for Civil Rights . Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws over the objection of President Nixon , who wanted enforcement to move slowly in keeping with his strategy to gain political support among Southern whites . Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John Veneman supported Panetta and refused to fire him , threatening to resign if forced to do so . Eventually forced out of office in 1970 , Panetta left Washington to work as Executive Assistant for John Lindsay , the then-Republican Mayor of New York City ( Lindsay would switch parties the following year. ) Panetta wrote about his Nixon administration experience in his 1971 book Bring Us Together . He moved back to Monterey to practice law at Panetta , Thompson & Panetta from 1971 to 1976 . U.S . House of Representatives . Elections . Like Lindsay , Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in 1971 , because , he said , he thought that the Republican Party was moving away from the political center . In 1976 , Panetta was elected to the U.S . Congress to represent Californias then-16th congressional district , unseating incumbent Republican Burt Talcott with 53% of the vote . He would never face another contest nearly that close , and was reelected eight times . ( With a few boundary adjustments , the 16th district became the 17th district after the 1990 census and is the 20th district today . It consists of all of Monterey and San Benito Counties , plus most of Santa Cruz County , including the city of Santa Cruz . At the time of Panettas first election , it also included the northern part of San Luis Obispo County. ) Tenure . During his time in Congress , Panetta concentrated mostly on budget issues , civil rights , education , healthcare , agriculture , immigration , and environmental protection , particularly preventing oil drilling off the California coast . He wrote the Hunger Prevention Act ( Public Law 100–435 ) of 1988 and the Fair Employment Practices Resolution . He was the author of legislation establishing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary , and legislation providing Medicare coverage for hospice care . Working with Chancellor Barry Munitz of CSU , he helped establish CSU Monterey Bay at the former Fort Ord military base . He also attempted to form the Big Sur National Scenic Area with Senator Alan Cranston . The bill would have created a scenic area administered by the U.S . Forest Service . It budgeted $100 million to buy land from private land owners , up to $30 million for easements and management programs , and created a state plan for a zone about long and wide along the Big Sur coast . The bill was opposed by California Senator S . I . Hayakawa , development interests , and Big Sur residents . Local residents mocked the plan as Panettas Pave n Save , and raised a fund of more than $100,000 to lobby against the proposal . The legislation was blocked by Hayakawa in the Energy Committee and did not reach a vote . Budget Committee . A member of the House Committee on the Budget from 1979 to 1989 , and its chairman from 1989 to 1993 , Panetta played a key role in the 1990 Budget Summit . Committee assignments . His positions included : - Chairman of the U.S . House Committee on the Budget - Chairman of the Agriculture Committees Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing , Consumer Relations , and Nutrition - Chairman of the Administration Committees Subcommittee on Personnel and Police - Chairman of the Task Force on Domestic Hunger created by the U.S . House Select Committee on Hunger - Vice Chairman of the Caucus of Vietnam-Era Veterans in Congress - Member of the Presidents Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies . Director of the Office of Management and Budget . Though elected to a ninth term in 1992 , Panetta left the House at the beginning of 1993 , after President-elect Bill Clinton selected him to serve as Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget . In that role he developed the budget package that would eventually result in the balanced budget of 1998 . White House Chief of Staff . In 1994 , President Clinton became increasingly concerned about a lack of order and focus in the White House and asked Panetta to become his new chief of staff , replacing Mack McLarty . According to author Nigel Hamilton , Panetta replaced McLarty for the rest of Clintons first term—and the rest is history . To be a great leader , a modern president must have a great chief of staff—and in Leon Panetta , Clinton got the enforcer he deserved . Panetta was appointed White House Chief of Staff on July 17 , 1994 , and he held that position until January 20 , 1997 . He was a key negotiator of the 1996 budget , which was another important step toward bringing the budget into balance . Director of the CIA . Nomination . On January 5 , 2009 , President-elect Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Panetta to the post of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency . At the time of his selection , journalists and politicians raised concerns about Panettas limited experience in intelligence , aside from his two-year service as a military intelligence officer in the 1960s . California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein , the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence , expressed concerns that she was not consulted about the Panetta appointment and stated her belief that the Agency is best-served by having an intelligence professional in charge at this time . Former CIA officer Ishmael Jones stated that Panetta was a wise choice , because of his close personal connection to the President and lack of exposure to the CIA bureaucracy . Also , Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said that Panetta did have exposure to intelligence operations as Director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton , where he sat in on the daily intelligence briefings as chief of staff , and he reviewed the nations most secret intelligence-collection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management and Budget . On February 12 , 2009 , Panetta was confirmed in the full Senate by voice vote . Tenure . On February 19 , 2009 , Panetta was sworn in as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency by Vice President Joe Biden before an audience of CIA employees . Panetta reportedly received a rock star welcome from his new subordinates . As CIA Director , Panetta traveled extensively to intelligence outposts around the world and worked with international leaders to confront threats of Islamic extremism and Taliban . In 2010 working with the Senate Intelligence Committee , he conducted a secret review of the use of torture by the CIA ( euphemistically referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques ) during the administration of George W . Bush . The review , which came to be known by 2014 as the Panetta Review , yielded a series of memoranda that , according to The New York Times , cast a particularly harsh light on the Bush-era interrogation program . The Times notes The effort to write the exhaustive history of the C.I.A.’s detention operations was fraught from the beginning . President Obama officially ended the program during his first week in office , in 2009 . The intelligence committee announced its intention to take a hard look at the program , but there was little appetite inside the [ Obama ] White House to accede to the committee’s request for all classified C.I.A . cables related to it . The findings of the Panetta Review reportedly aligned with much of what the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture found in its factual accounting . Both reports were largely seen as an effort in fact-finding and prevention , but not a governmental path towards some possible project of accountability or punishment for past interrogation or torture . Panetta supported the Obama administrations campaign of U.S . drone strikes in Pakistan , which he identified as the most effective weapon against senior al-Qaeda leadership . Drone strikes increased significantly under Panetta , with as many as 50 suspected al-Qaeda militants being killed in May 2009 alone . As Director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the hunt for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden , and played a key role in the operation in which bin Laden was killed on May 1 , 2011 . Under Panetta , the CIA advanced workplace rights and benefits for LGBT employees ; the agency for the first time implemented policies extending benefits to the same-sex partners of employees . Secretary of Defense ( 2011–2013 ) . Nomination . On April 28 , 2011 , President Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as United States Secretary of Defense as a replacement for retiring Secretary Robert Gates . On June 21 , 2011 , the Senate confirmed Panetta in an unusual 100–0 vote . He was sworn in on July 1 , 2011 . Tenure . One of Panettas first major acts as Defense Secretary was to jointly certify with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the military was prepared to repeal Dont Ask , Dont Tell , which triggered final repeal after 60 days . In August 2011 , Panetta publicly warned that deeper cuts in the defense budget risked hollowing out the military and would hamper Pentagon efforts to deal with rising powers such as China , North Korea , and Iran and he urged Congress not to go beyond the roughly $500 billion in defense cuts required over the next decade under the debt reduction bill signed by President Barack Obama . Working with military and civilian leaders at the Department of Defense , Panetta developed a new defense strategy for the 21st century . Funding the United States military , in the face of tightening budget constraints , became an ongoing theme of Panettas tenure . He also warned that future service members may see changes in retirement benefits , and that the military healthcare system may need reforms , to rein in costs , while also ensuring quality care . Another major issue during Panettas tenure as Defense Secretary was the Obama administrations diplomatic effort to dissuade Iran from developing nuclear weapons . In January 2012 , Panetta stated that nuclear weapons development was a red line that Iran would not be allowed to cross—and that the United States was keeping all options , including military ones , open to completely prevent it . He said that Iran would not be allowed to block the Straits of Hormuz . In January 2013 , shortly before his departure from the Defense Secretary post , Panetta announced that women would be allowed to enter all combat jobs in the military , citing an assessment phase in which each branch of service will examine all its jobs and units not currently integrated and then produce a timetable for integrating them . Activities outside politics . Panetta and his wife Sylvia founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in December 1997 and served as co-directors there until 2009 , when Panetta was appointed CIA director by President Obama . He has since returned to the Institute in the role of Chairman , while his wife serves as Co-Chair and CEO , supervising the institutes day-to-day operations . The institute is located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus Panetta was instrumental in creating on the site of the decommissioned Fort Ord Army base when he was a Congressman . Coincidentally , Panetta was stationed at Fort Ord in the 1960s during his service as an Army intelligence officer . Panetta served on the board of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation , as a Distinguished Scholar to the Chancellor of California State University and as a Presidential Professor at Santa Clara University . He was urged to consider running for Governor of California during the recall election in 2003 but declined in part because of the short time available to raise the necessary campaign funds . Panetta has long been an advocate for the worlds oceans . In addition to introducing legislation and winning passage of ocean protections measures such as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary during his time in Congress , he was named chairman in 2003 of the Pew Oceans Commission , which in 2005 combined with the U.S . Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative . Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D . Watkins , U.S . Navy ( Ret. ) and continues to serve as a Commission member . Panetta also serves as an advocate and information source for other ocean organizations , including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and the Monterey Bay Aquarium . In 2006 , Panetta was part of the presidentially-appointed Iraq Study Group , or Baker Commission , which studied potential changes in U.S . policy in Iraq . In 2014 , Panetta published his memoir Worthy Fights , in which he recounted his long career in public service . While overwhelmingly positive in his assessment of the Obama presidency , Panetta aired some disagreements in the book with the Presidents policies in Syria and Iraq . Panetta said : By failing to persuade Iraqs leader to allow a continuing force of US troops , the commander in chief created a vacuum . . . and its out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed .

Also , Washington Post columnist David Ignatius said that Panetta did have exposure to intelligence operations as Director of the OMB and as Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton , where he sat in on the daily intelligence briefings as chief of staff , and he reviewed the nations most secret intelligence-collection and covert-action programs in his previous post as director of the Office of Management and Budget . On February 12 , 2009 , Panetta was confirmed in the full Senate by voice vote . Tenure . On February 19 , 2009 , Panetta was sworn in as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency by Vice President Joe Biden before an audience of CIA employees . Panetta reportedly received a rock star welcome from his new subordinates . As CIA Director , Panetta traveled extensively to intelligence outposts around the world and worked with international leaders to confront threats of Islamic extremism and Taliban . In 2010 working with the Senate Intelligence Committee , he conducted a secret review of the use of torture by the CIA ( euphemistically referred to as enhanced interrogation techniques ) during the administration of George W . Bush . The review , which came to be known by 2014 as the Panetta Review , yielded a series of memoranda that , according to The New York Times , cast a particularly harsh light on the Bush-era interrogation program . The Times notes The effort to write the exhaustive history of the C.I.A.’s detention operations was fraught from the beginning . President Obama officially ended the program during his first week in office , in 2009 . The intelligence committee announced its intention to take a hard look at the program , but there was little appetite inside the [ Obama ] White House to accede to the committee’s request for all classified C.I.A . cables related to it . The findings of the Panetta Review reportedly aligned with much of what the Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture found in its factual accounting . Both reports were largely seen as an effort in fact-finding and prevention , but not a governmental path towards some possible project of accountability or punishment for past interrogation or torture . Panetta supported the Obama administrations campaign of U.S . drone strikes in Pakistan , which he identified as the most effective weapon against senior al-Qaeda leadership . Drone strikes increased significantly under Panetta , with as many as 50 suspected al-Qaeda militants being killed in May 2009 alone . As Director of the CIA , Panetta oversaw the hunt for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden , and played a key role in the operation in which bin Laden was killed on May 1 , 2011 . Under Panetta , the CIA advanced workplace rights and benefits for LGBT employees ; the agency for the first time implemented policies extending benefits to the same-sex partners of employees . Secretary of Defense ( 2011–2013 ) . Nomination . On April 28 , 2011 , President Obama announced the nomination of Panetta as United States Secretary of Defense as a replacement for retiring Secretary Robert Gates . On June 21 , 2011 , the Senate confirmed Panetta in an unusual 100–0 vote . He was sworn in on July 1 , 2011 . Tenure . One of Panettas first major acts as Defense Secretary was to jointly certify with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the military was prepared to repeal Dont Ask , Dont Tell , which triggered final repeal after 60 days . In August 2011 , Panetta publicly warned that deeper cuts in the defense budget risked hollowing out the military and would hamper Pentagon efforts to deal with rising powers such as China , North Korea , and Iran and he urged Congress not to go beyond the roughly $500 billion in defense cuts required over the next decade under the debt reduction bill signed by President Barack Obama . Working with military and civilian leaders at the Department of Defense , Panetta developed a new defense strategy for the 21st century . Funding the United States military , in the face of tightening budget constraints , became an ongoing theme of Panettas tenure . He also warned that future service members may see changes in retirement benefits , and that the military healthcare system may need reforms , to rein in costs , while also ensuring quality care . Another major issue during Panettas tenure as Defense Secretary was the Obama administrations diplomatic effort to dissuade Iran from developing nuclear weapons . In January 2012 , Panetta stated that nuclear weapons development was a red line that Iran would not be allowed to cross—and that the United States was keeping all options , including military ones , open to completely prevent it . He said that Iran would not be allowed to block the Straits of Hormuz . In January 2013 , shortly before his departure from the Defense Secretary post , Panetta announced that women would be allowed to enter all combat jobs in the military , citing an assessment phase in which each branch of service will examine all its jobs and units not currently integrated and then produce a timetable for integrating them . Activities outside politics . Panetta and his wife Sylvia founded the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in December 1997 and served as co-directors there until 2009 , when Panetta was appointed CIA director by President Obama . He has since returned to the Institute in the role of Chairman , while his wife serves as Co-Chair and CEO , supervising the institutes day-to-day operations . The institute is located at California State University , Monterey Bay , a campus Panetta was instrumental in creating on the site of the decommissioned Fort Ord Army base when he was a Congressman . Coincidentally , Panetta was stationed at Fort Ord in the 1960s during his service as an Army intelligence officer . Panetta served on the board of the UC Santa Cruz Foundation , as a Distinguished Scholar to the Chancellor of California State University and as a Presidential Professor at Santa Clara University . He was urged to consider running for Governor of California during the recall election in 2003 but declined in part because of the short time available to raise the necessary campaign funds . Panetta has long been an advocate for the worlds oceans . In addition to introducing legislation and winning passage of ocean protections measures such as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary during his time in Congress , he was named chairman in 2003 of the Pew Oceans Commission , which in 2005 combined with the U.S . Commission on Ocean Policy to establish the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative . Panetta now co-chairs the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative with Admiral James D . Watkins , U.S . Navy ( Ret. ) and continues to serve as a Commission member . Panetta also serves as an advocate and information source for other ocean organizations , including the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and the Monterey Bay Aquarium . In 2006 , Panetta was part of the presidentially-appointed Iraq Study Group , or Baker Commission , which studied potential changes in U.S . policy in Iraq . In 2014 , Panetta published his memoir Worthy Fights , in which he recounted his long career in public service . While overwhelmingly positive in his assessment of the Obama presidency , Panetta aired some disagreements in the book with the Presidents policies in Syria and Iraq . Panetta said : By failing to persuade Iraqs leader to allow a continuing force of US troops , the commander in chief created a vacuum . . . and its out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed . He regularly obtains fees for speaking engagements , including from the Carlyle Group . He is also a supporter of Booz Allen Hamilton . After Secretary of Defense ( 2013–present ) . Panetta was a speaker on Day 3 of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in which Hillary Clinton was nominated to run as the Democratic candidate in the presidential election that year . Notably , his speech was booed by anti-war supporters of Bernie Sanders who protested his war record . Panetta told CBS News that Congress releasing the Nunes Memo , which purported to provide intelligence about the open Russia probe , could cause damage to national security . Responsibilities . Panetta has held positions within a number of institutions and corporations , including : - Joint Ocean Commission Initiative , Commissioner and Co-Chair - Pew Oceans Commission , Commissioner and Chairman - Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget , Co-Chair - Bread for the World , Board of Directors - National Marine Sanctuary Foundation , Board of Directors - National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management , Board of Directors ( 2004–2009 ) - New York Stock Exchange , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Board of Directors ( 1997–present ) - Close Up Foundation , Board of Directors ( 1999–present ) - Connetics Investor Relations , Board of Directors ( 2000–present ) - Fleishman-Hillard , - Co-chairman of the Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Committee - Co-chairman of the Corporate Credibility Advisory practice - Member of the International Advisory Board - Junior Statesmen Foundation Inc. , Trustee ( 2004 ) - Public Policy Institute of California , Board of Directors - Blue Shield of California , Board of Directors ( 2013–present ) - Oracle Corporation , Board of Directors ( 2015–present ) In June 2002 , the U.S . Conference of Catholic Bishops appointed Panetta to their National Review Board , which was created to look into the Catholic Churchs sexual abuse scandal . This created controversy because of Panettas pro-choice stance on abortion and other views seen as conflicting with those of the Church . Panetta is also a member of the Partnership for a Secure Americas bipartisan Advisory Board . The Partnership is a non-profit organization based in Washington , DC that promotes bipartisan solutions to national security and foreign policy issues . Panetta serves on the Advisory Board of the Committee to Investigate Russia . Personal life .

It was originally a medieval fortified manor house , founded by Ednyfed Fychan . In 1438 , Ioan ap Gruffudd was granted a licence to crenellate and he founded the stone castle and added a tower house . Samuel Wyatt reconstructed the property in the 1780s . The present building was built between about 1822 and 1837 to designs by Thomas Hopper on behalf of its owner , who expanded and transformed the building beyond recognition . The owner of the castle had many slaves , and was compensated for being deprived of them after the abolition of slavery with about the same sum as construction of the castle had cost . Later history . George Hay Dawkins-Pennant ( 1764–1840 ) had inherited the Penrhyn Estate on the death of his second cousin , The 1st Baron Penrhyn ( first creation ; 1737–1808 ) , who had made his fortune from sugar plantations and slaves in Jamaica and local slate quarries . The eldest of Georges two daughters , Juliana , married an aristocratic Grenadier Guard , Edward Gordon Douglas ( 1800–1886 ) , who , on inheriting the estate on Georges death in 1840 , adopted the hyphenated surname of Douglas-Pennant . Edward , the grandson of The 14th Earl of Morton , was created The 1st Baron Penrhyn ( second creation ) in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1866 . After the 1822–1837 rebuild a spiral staircase remains from the original structure , and a vaulted basement and other masonry were incorporated into the new structure . The cost of the construction of this vast castle is disputed , and very difficult to work out accurately , as much of the timber came from the familys own forestry , and much of the labour was acquired from within their own workforce at the slate quarry . It cost the Pennant family an estimated £150,000 . This is the current equivalent to about £49,500,000 . Penrhyn is one of the most admired of the numerous mock castles built in the United Kingdom in the 19th century ; Christopher Hussey called it , the outstanding instance of Norman revival . The castle is a picturesque composition that stretches over 600 feet from a tall donjon containing family rooms , through the main block built around the earlier house , to the service wing and the stables . It is built in a sombre style which allows it to possess something of the medieval fortress air despite the ground-level drawing room windows . Hopper designed all the principal interiors in a rich but restrained Norman style , with much fine plasterwork and wood and stone carving . The castle also has some specially designed Norman-style furniture , including a one-ton slate bed made for Queen Victoria when she visited in 1859 . The 4th Baron Penrhyn died in June 1949 , and the castle and estate passed to his niece , Lady Janet Pelham , who , on inheritance , adopted the surname of Douglas-Pennant . In 1951 , the castle and 40,000 acres ( 160 km ) of land were accepted by the treasury in lieu of death duties from Lady Janet . It now belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public . The site received 109,395 visitors in 2017 . Slavery . Dawkins-Pennant , an opponent of the emancipation of slaves , was after the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 compensated for being deprived of 764 slaves , being paid £14,683 17s 2d—about the cost of building the castle . In 2020 the National Trust was working on a plan to include coverage about the former owners of its properties who had links to colonialism and slavery . Penrhyn Castle was built using profits made by a family that used hundreds of enslaved people .

The PQR ran close to Penrhyn Castle , and when the castle was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1951 a small museum of industrial railway relics was created in the stable block . The first locomotive donated to the museum was Charles , one of the three remaining steam locomotives working on the PQR . Over the years a number of other historically significant British narrow-gauge locomotives and other artifacts have been added to the collection . Art collection .

"United States National Historic Landmark"
] | easy | Which site was the heritage designation of La Fortaleza from Oct 1960 to Oct 1966? | /wiki/La_Fortaleza#P1435#0 | La Fortaleza La Fortaleza ( The Fortress ) is the official residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico . It was built between 1533 and 1540 to defend the harbor of San Juan . The structure is also known as Palacio de Santa Catalina ( Santa Catalinas Palace ) . It is the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the New World . It was listed by UNESCO in 1983 as part of the World Heritage Site La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site . During the 1640 reconstruction , the chapel of Santa Catalina , which originally stood outside the walls , was integrated into the walls of the structure , resulting in the alternate name Santa Catalinas Castle . The structure . La Fortaleza was the first defensive fortification built for the city of San Juan , and the first of a series of military structures built to protect the city which included the Fort San Felipe del Morro and the Fort San Cristóbal . The construction was authorized by Charles V , Holy Roman Emperor as a defense against attacks from Island Caribs and the European powers of the time . Initially , the structure consisted of four walls enclosing an interior patio with a circular tower known as the Homage Tower . From the top of the tower , the governor , following military tradition , would take oaths of fidelity at critical moments to the King and Queen of Spain . Later , a second tower named the Austral Tower was constructed . At present , the complex consists of a few attached buildings with formal living quarters in the second floor , and private quarters in the third . It overlooks the high city walls that front the bay , and within the north perimeter of the house are sheltered gardens and a swimming pool . History .

In September 1892 he was appointed acting member of the Committee of Directors of the Nederlands-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij ( Dutch East Indian Railway Company ) . In July 1893 Van Deventer was promoted to the military rank of first lieutenant at the Schutterij in Semarang . He left for a second short stay in Europe in May 1894 and was , after his return , appointed member of the supervisory committee of the HBS in Semarang .

Early political career . In 1899 Van Deventer wrote a very influential article , called Een Ereschuld ( a debt of honour ) in the Dutch magazine De Gids . In this article Van Deventer stated that the Netherlands had a dept of honor of nearly 190 million gulden opposite the Dutch East Indies and had to pay for this dept of honor . When the Dutch East Indian budget was discussed in the House of Representatives a lot of attention was paid to Van Deventers article , although not all members agreed with the content of the article . Van Deventer was appointed member of the editorial board of The Gids as of 1 January 1901 . Over the next years until his death he would write numerous articles in this magazine . In June 1901 Van Deventer accepted his candidacy for the electoral association Schiedam ( for the Free-thinking Democratic League ) , located the Schiedam , for the elections for the House of Representatives , but was not chosen . In lectures Van Deventer showed himself a supporter for the installation of a Dutch East Indian House of Representatives in the Dutch East Indies . In June 1902 he was appointed member of the Algemeen Nederlands Verbond ( General Dutch Covenant ) and wrote in het Tijdschrift voor Nederlands-Indië ( Magazine for the Dutch East Indies ) together with others , a concept colonial program ; in this program the authors stated that the administrative power should lie more with the residents of the Dutch East Indies and that the government of the Netherlands should limit its interference to general government principles only . It seems contradictory that he also signed the telegram , send to general J . B . van Heutsz , in which he was complemented with the submission of Panglima Polim ( a local leader ) , which was achieved by military force , in Aceh .

In September 1904 he was appointed knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion .

On 19 September 1905 Van Deventer was elected as a Free-thinking Democratic member of the House of Representatives for the constituency Amsterdam IX and as such he emphasized his three focus points regarding Dutch East Indian policy : education , irrigation and emigration . He was also a promoter of the so-called Dutch Ethical Policy but at the same time said in a speech given in the House of Representatives on 16 November 1905 , that if persuasion did not work it would be inevitable to use military force . In a series of articles in the Soerabajasch Handelsblad in August 1908 called Insulindes toekomst ( the future of the Dutch East Indies ) he wrote about the importance of eductation and the creation of new jobs for natives on higher management levels .

He visited almost all islands , including but not limited to Sumatra , Java , Celebes and Borneo . He remained a Senate member until 16 September 1913 , when he was reelected as a member of the House of Representatives for the constituency Assen .

His voting record had been very conservative even by Mississippi Democratic standards , and he had often broken with his party . Palazzo established himself as Taylors strongest opponent since 1996 .

Overall , it’s a terrible , sad situation that unfortunately has been created by years of liberal policies that lead illegal immigrants to believe they can freely stroll through our borders . There is no law requiring separation of families at the border . In April , Attorney General Sessions implemented a zero-tolerance policy that mandates that each person caught illegally crossing the U.S . border be criminally prosecuted . I stand firmly behind that policy . He continued , this separation of families is the adverse effect created by a past liberal policy , and I will not allow the Democrats and liberal media to use this issue to push amnesty or other unsafe immigration policies down the throats of the American people .

Pennsylvania , a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election , in which Joe Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump .

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that called signing the amicus brief an act of election subversion . She also reprimanded Palazzo and the other House members who supported the lawsuit : The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House . Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution , they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions . New Jersey Representative Bill Pascrell , citing section three of the 14th Amendment , called for Pelosi to not seat Palazzo and the other Republicans who signed the brief supporting the suit , arguing that the text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States . Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that . Legislation . Palazzo was one of the initial co-sponsors of the Social Media Working Group Act of 2014 ( H.R . 4263 ; 113th Congress ) , a bill that would direct the United States Secretary of Homeland Security to establish within the United States Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) a social media working group ( the Group ) to provide guidance and best practices to the emergency preparedness and response community on the use of social media technologies before , during , and after a terrorist attack . Palazzo said , social media has played a crucial role in emergency preparedness and response in Mississippi , including during disasters like Hurricane Isaac and the tornadoes that hit the Hattiesburg area a little over a year ago . He said the bills goal was to build upon existing public-private partnerships and use social media in a more strategic way in order to help save lives and property . On April 7 , 2014 , Palazzo introduced the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2014 ( H.R . 4412 ; 113th Congress ) , a bill that would authorize the appropriation of $17.6 billion in fiscal year 2014 to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) . NASA would use the funding for human exploration of space , the Space Launch System , the Orion multipurpose crew vehicle , the commercial crew program , the International Space Station ( ISS ) , and various technological and educational projects . Palazzo said , American leadership in space depends on our ability to put people and sound policy ahead of politics . With the Trump administration at an impasse regarding appropriations for border security , Palazzo proposed his own border wall funding solution in December 2018 . Under his Border Bonds for America Act , individual American citizens would fund the costs of building a wall on the southern border by buying revenue bonds from the U.S . Treasury . His bill drew little support , dying before the new Democratic House majority was sworn in in January 2019 .

Mississippi State Representative David Baria , a Democrat , sent the National Guard a letter asking them to look into Palazzo’s hours of service . Baria said the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) was investigating the claims .

"Austrian Imperial Parliament"
] | easy | Karl Lueger took which position from 1885 to 1890? | /wiki/Karl_Lueger#P39#0 | Karl Lueger Karl Lueger ( ; 24 October 1844 – 10 March 1910 ) was an Austrian politician , mayor of Vienna , and leader and founder of the Austrian Christian Social Party . He is credited with the transformation of the city of Vienna into a modern city . The populist and antisemitic politics of his Christian Social Party are sometimes viewed as a model for Adolf Hitlers Nazism . Life and early career . Karl Lueger came from a modest background , born at Wieden ( since 1850 the 4th district of Vienna ) to Leopold Lueger of Neustadtl an der Donau and his wife Juliane . His birthplace is now the western part of the main building of the Vienna University of Technology at Karlsplatz where Luegers father worked as an usher at the Vienna Polytechnic . He nevertheless was able to attend the renowned Theresianum boarding school ( Theresianische Ritterakademie ) as a day student . He studied law at the University of Vienna , receiving his doctorate in 1870 . While at the university he was a member of the Catholic Student Association ( Katholische akademische Verbindung Norica Wien , K.A.V . Norica Wien ) , part of the Österreichische Cartellverband ( ÖCV ) fraternities . He established his own lawyers office in Vienna in 1874 and soon became known as a little peoples ( „kleinen Leute“ ) advocate . In this his role model and mentor was the popular Jewish physician and local politician Ignaz Mandl , known as God of the Little People in Luegers district of Landstraße ( Third District ) , whom he followed into political life . The association ended when Lueger became identified with antisemitism . Political career . Lueger played a part in many political spheres , including Vienna City Council where he eventually became mayor , the federal Austrian parliament , and the state parliament of Lower Austria . Viennese municipal politics . In 1875 , he was elected to Viennas City Council ( Gemeinderat ) , initially as a liberal . He would serve on the council until his death , save for a two-year break from 1876 to 1878 . He campaigned against the government of liberal mayor Cajetan Felder and achieved popularity as a campaigner against corruption . In 1888 he brought together the German National ( Deutschnationale ) and Christian Social factions at City Hall to form a group that later became known as the United Christians ( Vereinigte Christen ) . After the 1895 elections for the Vienna Gemeinderat , the Christian Socials won two thirds of the seats , ending the long Liberal rule . The Christian Social supermajority subsequently elected Lueger as mayor . However , during imperial times , mayors had to be confirmed in office by Emperor Franz Joseph . The emperor allegedly loathed Lueger as a person and considered him a dangerous revolutionary . He was also concerned about Luegers antisemitism . With the support of Prime Minister Kasimir Felix Badeni , Franz Joseph refused to confirm Lueger as mayor . The Christian Socials retained a large majority in the council , and reelected Lueger as mayor three more times , only to have Franz Joseph refuse to confirm him each time . He was elected mayor for a fifth time in 1897 , and after a personal intercession by Pope Leo XIII , his election was finally sanctioned later that year . He was a zealous Catholic and wished to “capture the university” for the Church . He would have neither Social Democrats nor Pan-Germans nor Jews in the municipal administration . He secured good treatment for Czech immigrants . He planned to make Vienna one of the most beautiful of garden cities . In his incumbency , Lueger is credited with the extension of the public water supply by its second main aquifer ( Hochquellwasserleitung ) , which provides tap water of mineral-water quality to large parts of the city . He also pursued the municipalization of gas and electricity works as well as the establishment of a public transport system , introducing streetcars , and of numerous institutions of social welfare , most of which strongly relied on debt financing . He incorporated the suburbs , and built parks , gardens , hospitals , and schools . Der schöne Karl ( handsome Karl ) achieved tremendous popularity among the citizens . During his tenure , Vienna ultimately changed its appearance as the capital of a great power of the pre-World War I era—a heritage that remained even in Red Vienna after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918 . A significant part of the infrastructure and organisations that are responsible for the high standard of living in the contemporary city were created during his terms of office . Lueger served as mayor of Vienna until his early death from diabetes mellitus in 1910 . He was buried in the crypt of the newly erected St . Charles Borromeo Church at the Zentralfriedhof ( also called Dr . Karl Lueger Memorial Church ) , whose groundbreaking ceremony he had performed . Christian Social movement . Luegers early political life was associated with Georg von Schönerer and the German National Party , which was antisemitic . From the late 1880s onwards Lueger was a regular attendee at the influential circles of clerical social conservative politicians around Karl von Vogelsang , Prince Aloys Franz de Paula Maria of Liechtenstein , and the theologian Franz Martin Schindler . In view of the rising labour movement , the participants on the basis of Catholic social teaching developed ideas to overcome social polarisation by several measures of social security legislation and the common Catholic faith . Moreover , after an 1882 electoral reform had expanded the electorate suffrage , Lueger focussed on petty bourgeois tradespersons , who assumed the Jewish competition to be the underlying cause of their precarious situation , and discovered that raising the Jewish Question earned him enormous popularity . In 1885 he was elected to the lower house ( Abgeordnetenhaus ) of the Austrian Imperial Parliament ( Reichsrat ) , representig the Fifth District of Vienna , and was returned in the 1891 election . From 1890 he was also a member of the Lower Austria parliament ( Landtag ) . Lueger , Prince Liechtenstein , Vogelsang and Schindler met regularly at the Hotel Zur goldenen Ente ( Golden Duck , Riemergasse 4 ) in Viennas First District , and would refer to their meetings as Enten-Abende ( Duck Evenings ) . This working group became the focus for social reform , and they organised the Second Austrian Katholikentag in 1889 . From this Schindler developed the platform of the fledgling Christian Social Party ( Christlichsoziale Partei , CS ) . Lueger was to found and lead the party in 1893 , which quickly rivaled the Social Democrats ( Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs , SPÖ ) . He remained one of its most effective leaders till his death and developed his partys federation policy as a means of dealing with the monarchys issues of multiple nationalities . Much of Luegers popularity stemmed from his appeal to women ; his female followers were variously known as Luegers Amazons , the Lueger Garde or Lueger Gretls and were organised in the Christian Social Womens League . Although women could not vote , he calculated that they could significantly influence how their menfolk voted , and they also inculcated the party ideology in their children . To maintain his female following , Lueger remained a bachelor and publicly disavowed any private life , claiming that he was too busy because he belonged totally to my Viennese . After his death there was a scandal when his long-time mistress , Marianne Beskiba , published a tell-all memoir including facsimiles of love letters from him ; the book provides useful information about his political tactics and how the party was run . Antisemitism . Lueger was known for his antisemitic rhetoric and referred to himself as an admirer of Edouard Drumont , who founded the Antisemitic League of France in 1889 . Decades later , Adolf Hitler , an inhabitant of Vienna from 1907 to 1913 , saw him as an inspiration for his own views on Jews . Though not an explicit pan-Germanist , Lueger advocated racist policies against non-German speaking minorities in Austria-Hungary and in 1887 voted for a bill proposed by his long-time opponent Georg von Schönerer to restrict the immigration of Russian and Romanian Jews . He also overtly supported the völkisch movement of Guido von List and created the pun Judapest , referring to supposed Jewish domination of the Hungarian capital , Budapest . The historian Léon Poliakov wrote in The History of Anti-Semitism : It soon became apparent that especially in Vienna any political group that wanted to appeal to the artisans had no chance of success without an anti-Semitic platform . [ ... ] It was at that time that a well-known phrase was coined in Vienna : Anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools . The situation was exploited by the Catholic politician Karl Lueger , the leader of Austrian Christian-Social party with a program identical to that of the Berlin party of the same name led by Pastor Stoeker . In 1887 , Lueger raised the banner of anti-Semitism . [ ... ] However , the enthusiastic tribute that Hitler paid him in Mein Kampf does not seem justified , for the Jews did not suffer under his administration . Other observers contend that Luegers public racism was in large part a pose to obtain votes , being one of the first who made use of populism as a political tool . Historian William L . Shirer wrote that his opponents , including the Jews , readily conceded that he was at heart a decent , chivalrous , generous and tolerant man . According to Amos Elon , Luegers anti-Semitism was of a homespun , flexible variety—one might almost say gemütlich . Asked to explain the fact that many of his friends were Jews , Lueger famously replied , I decide who is a Jew . Viennese Jewish writer Stefan Zweig , who grew up in Vienna during Luegers term of office , recalled that His city administration was perfectly just and even typically democratic . German nationalism . Lueger expressed some scepticism about German nationalism , but as with his antisemitism was quick to exploit the sentiments for his own political purposes . He opposed Austro-Hungarian dualism in favour of federalism and the equality of all the nations making up the empire . Further influences . His general style of politics later inspired some of the right-wing leaders of the First Austrian Republic in 1918–1933 , such as Ignaz Seipel , Engelbert Dollfuss and Kurt Schuschnigg , who led the Austrian society towards Austrofascism . Unlike Hitler , he did not so much inspire antisemitism in them ( none of these three were particularly antisemitic ) , but rather provided one important role model for their generally combative , unrelenting stance towards ideological political opponents , which ultimately proved to be detrimental to the cohesion of the Austrian state . In Vienna , Lueger has a square named after him , at least two statues were erected in his honour , and until April 2012 a section of the Ringstraße bore his name . It has been very difficult to decide what to do with monuments honouring historical figures whose reputation has been widely called into question as Europeans ( and others ) reflect on the historical background to the holocaust . With the Anschluss of Austria in 1938 street names carrying Jewish names or the names of pacifists were changed . After World War II , Austria started a full-scale program of de-Nazification on both cultural and topographical levels . Nazified street signs were torn down and their names changed back from Nazi to Habsburg heroes . Luegers monuments present a difficult case because they are genuinely local , yet he was inspirational for the Nazis . For some , the Lueger monuments show that Vienna has neglected its obligations to the victims of the Holocaust in order to keep its nostalgic appeal as the grand Imperial City . For example , when Austrian-born neurobiologist Eric Kandel won the Nobel Prize in 2000 , he stuck it to the Austrians by saying it was certainly not an Austrian Nobel ; it was a Jewish-American Nobel . He was subsequently telephoned by the Austrian president Thomas Klestil who asked him , How can we put things right ? Kandel said that first , Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Ring should be renamed . Kandel was offended that the address of the University of Vienna is on that street . After yearlong debates , the Ring was renamed to Universitätsring in April 2012 . The monument to Lueger at Dr . Karl Lueger Platz at the Stubenring as well as the memorial plaque at the TU Wien have since been contextualized by descriptions highlighting Luegers antisemitism and his influence on National Socialism . Lueger was the subject of a 1943 biopic Vienna 1910 , in which he was played by Rudolf Forster . External links . - Photo of monument Dr .

He was a zealous Catholic and wished to “capture the university” for the Church . He would have neither Social Democrats nor Pan-Germans nor Jews in the municipal administration . He secured good treatment for Czech immigrants . He planned to make Vienna one of the most beautiful of garden cities . In his incumbency , Lueger is credited with the extension of the public water supply by its second main aquifer ( Hochquellwasserleitung ) , which provides tap water of mineral-water quality to large parts of the city . He also pursued the municipalization of gas and electricity works as well as the establishment of a public transport system , introducing streetcars , and of numerous institutions of social welfare , most of which strongly relied on debt financing . He incorporated the suburbs , and built parks , gardens , hospitals , and schools . Der schöne Karl ( handsome Karl ) achieved tremendous popularity among the citizens . During his tenure , Vienna ultimately changed its appearance as the capital of a great power of the pre-World War I era—a heritage that remained even in Red Vienna after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918 . A significant part of the infrastructure and organisations that are responsible for the high standard of living in the contemporary city were created during his terms of office . Lueger served as mayor of Vienna until his early death from diabetes mellitus in 1910 . He was buried in the crypt of the newly erected St .

In view of the rising labour movement , the participants on the basis of Catholic social teaching developed ideas to overcome social polarisation by several measures of social security legislation and the common Catholic faith . Moreover , after an 1882 electoral reform had expanded the electorate suffrage , Lueger focussed on petty bourgeois tradespersons , who assumed the Jewish competition to be the underlying cause of their precarious situation , and discovered that raising the Jewish Question earned him enormous popularity . In 1885 he was elected to the lower house ( Abgeordnetenhaus ) of the Austrian Imperial Parliament ( Reichsrat ) , representig the Fifth District of Vienna , and was returned in the 1891 election . From 1890 he was also a member of the Lower Austria parliament ( Landtag ) . Lueger , Prince Liechtenstein , Vogelsang and Schindler met regularly at the Hotel Zur goldenen Ente ( Golden Duck , Riemergasse 4 ) in Viennas First District , and would refer to their meetings as Enten-Abende ( Duck Evenings ) . This working group became the focus for social reform , and they organised the Second Austrian Katholikentag in 1889 . From this Schindler developed the platform of the fledgling Christian Social Party ( Christlichsoziale Partei , CS ) . Lueger was to found and lead the party in 1893 , which quickly rivaled the Social Democrats ( Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs , SPÖ ) . He remained one of its most effective leaders till his death and developed his partys federation policy as a means of dealing with the monarchys issues of multiple nationalities . Much of Luegers popularity stemmed from his appeal to women ; his female followers were variously known as Luegers Amazons , the Lueger Garde or Lueger Gretls and were organised in the Christian Social Womens League . Although women could not vote , he calculated that they could significantly influence how their menfolk voted , and they also inculcated the party ideology in their children . To maintain his female following , Lueger remained a bachelor and publicly disavowed any private life , claiming that he was too busy because he belonged totally to my Viennese . After his death there was a scandal when his long-time mistress , Marianne Beskiba , published a tell-all memoir including facsimiles of love letters from him ; the book provides useful information about his political tactics and how the party was run . Antisemitism . Lueger was known for his antisemitic rhetoric and referred to himself as an admirer of Edouard Drumont , who founded the Antisemitic League of France in 1889 . Decades later , Adolf Hitler , an inhabitant of Vienna from 1907 to 1913 , saw him as an inspiration for his own views on Jews . Though not an explicit pan-Germanist , Lueger advocated racist policies against non-German speaking minorities in Austria-Hungary and in 1887 voted for a bill proposed by his long-time opponent Georg von Schönerer to restrict the immigration of Russian and Romanian Jews . He also overtly supported the völkisch movement of Guido von List and created the pun Judapest , referring to supposed Jewish domination of the Hungarian capital , Budapest .

Viennese Jewish writer Stefan Zweig , who grew up in Vienna during Luegers term of office , recalled that His city administration was perfectly just and even typically democratic .

In Vienna , Lueger has a square named after him , at least two statues were erected in his honour , and until April 2012 a section of the Ringstraße bore his name .

Norica Wien ) , part of the Österreichische Cartellverband ( ÖCV ) fraternities . He established his own lawyers office in Vienna in 1874 and soon became known as a little peoples ( „kleinen Leute“ ) advocate .

However Masi himself also suspended two times , both due to being sent off ( one direct sent off , one due to second caution ) . He was also booked 4 times , including the 2 aforementioned . Moreover , Masi also booked once in the playoffs . At the end of season both clubs failed to agree a price for Masi before the deadline , thus both clubs submitted a bid in a sealed envelope to the Lega Serie B in order to buy the shares from opposite side . On 23 June 2012 Lega Serie B announced that Pro Vercelli had bidded a higher price to buy Masi outright from Sampdoria , for €421,000 fee . Juventus . After winning the bid for the young defender , Pro Vercelli decided to sell Masi immediately . On 5 July 2012 , Masi joined Serie A and Piedmont club Juventus F.C . in another co-ownership deal on a 4-year contract . On 22 August 2012 Juventus bought the player outright , buying the remaining half of his registration rights from Pro Vercelli by selling the co-ownership of Elio De Silvestro plus and undisclosed cash sum . Juventus later revealed in its annual financial report that Masi had cost the club €2 million and 50% of De Silvestros contract which was valued at €800,000 ; thus , the fee involved €1.2 million cash . On 31 August 2012 , Masi returned to Pro Vercelli from Juventus on a temporary loan deal along with Gabriel Appelt Pires . After spending the first half of the 2012-13 Serie B season in the Pro Vercelli starting line-up , making 14 league appearances , Masi was surprisingly called back to Turin in order to be re-located during the 2013 January transfer window . He was sent out on loan to fellow Serie B outfit , Ternana Calcio until 30 June 2013 , with an option to purchase . Ternana . On 9 July 2013 , Juventus announced the sale of Alberto Masi to Ternana on a co-ownership deal worth €2 million . ( €1.35 million plus half of the registration rights of Simone Russini ) Masis registration rights will therefore remain with the Umbria club for the 2013–14 Serie B campaign . In June 2014 the co-ownership deals of Masi and Russini were renewed . On 2 February 2015 Ternana signed Masi outright for €1.5 million , as part of the deal that Juventus signed Alberto Brignoli from Ternana for €1.75 million on the same day . In June 2015 Russini also returned to Ternana for €150,000 fee , matching the €1.5 million price tag of 50% registration rights of Masi . Bari . On 11 July 2017 Masi joined Bari on a one-year deal . However , on 31 August , he joined fellow Serie B club Spezia on a temporary deal , with an option to buy the players contract . Return to Pro Vercelli . On 23 August 2019 , he signed with Pro Vercelli . International career . On 15 August 2012 , he made his debut with the Italy U-21 team in a friendly match against Netherlands .

"Prime Minister"
] | easy | What position did Zine El Abidine Ben Ali take in Oct 1987? | /wiki/Zine_El_Abidine_Ben_Ali#P39#0 | Zine El Abidine Ben Ali Zine El Abidine Ben Ali ( ; 3 September 1936 – 19 September 2019 ) , commonly known as Ben Ali ( ) or Ezzine ( ) , was a Tunisian politician who was the second President of Tunisia from 1987 until his fall in 2011 after the revolution of Tunisia . Ben Ali was appointed Prime Minister in October 1987 . He assumed the Presidency on 7 November 1987 in a bloodless coup détat that ousted President Habib Bourguiba by declaring him incompetent . Ben Ali was subsequently reelected with enormous majorities , each time exceeding 90% of the vote ; his final re-election coming on 25 October 2009 . Ben Ali was the penultimate surviving leader deposed in the Arab Spring who was survived by Egypts Hosni Mubarak , the latter dying in February 2020 . On 14 January 2011 , following a month of protests against his rule , he was forced to flee to Saudi Arabia along with his wife Leïla Ben Ali and their three children . The interim Tunisian government asked Interpol to issue an international arrest warrant , charging him with money laundering and drug trafficking . A Tunisian court sentenced Ben Ali and his wife in absentia to 35 years in prison on 20 June 2011 on charges of theft and unlawful possession of cash and jewelry , which was put up for auction . In June 2012 , a Tunisian court sentenced him in absentia to life imprisonment for inciting violence and murder and another life sentence by a military court in April 2013 for violent repression of protests in Sfax . He served none of those sentences , subsequently dying in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia on 19 September 2019 at the age of 83 after nearly a decade in exile . Early life , education and military career . Ben Ali was born in 1936 to moderate-income parents as the fourth of eleven children in the family . His father worked as a guard at the port city of Sousse . Ben Ali joined the local resistance against French colonial forces and was imprisoned . His expulsion from secondary school was the reason why he never completed his secondary education . He studied at the Sousse Technical Institute but failed to earn a professional certificate and joined the newly formed Tunisian Army in 1958 . Nevertheless , after being chosen as one of a group of young officers , he was awarded training in France at Special Inter-service School in Coëtquidan and the Artillery School in Châlons-sur-Marne , and also in the United States at the Senior Intelligence School in Maryland and the School for Anti-Aircraft Field Artillery in Texas . He also held a diploma in electronics engineering from a local university . Returning to Tunisia in 1964 , he began his professional military career the same year as a Tunisian staff officer . During his time in military service , he established the Military Security Department and directed its operations for 10 years . He briefly served as military attaché in the Tunisian embassy of Morocco and Spain before being appointed General Director of National Security in 1977 . In April 1980 , Ben Ali was appointed ambassador to Poland , and served in that position for four years . He also served as the military intelligence chief from 1964 to 1974 and later Director General of national security between December 1977 and 1980 until he was appointed as Minister of Defense . Soon after the Tunisian bread riots in January 1984 , he was reappointed director-general of national security . Ben Ali subsequently served as Minister of State in charge of the interior before being appointed Interior Minister on 28 April 1986 then Prime Minister by President Habib Bourguiba in October 1987 . Rise to the presidency . On 7 November 1987 Morning , doctors attending to President Bourguiba filed an official medical report declaring him medically incapacitated and unable to fulfill the duties of the presidency . Ben Ali , as the next in line to the presidency , removed Bourguiba from office and assumed the presidency himself . The day of his accession to power was celebrated annually in Tunisia as New Era Day . Two of the names given to Ben Alis rise to the presidency include the medical coup détat and the Tunisian revolution . Ben Ali favoured the latter . In conformity with Article 57 of the Tunisian Constitution , the peaceful transition occurred . The country had faced 10% inflation , external debt accounting for 46% of GDP and a debt service ratio of 21% of GDP . In 1999 Fulvio Martini , former head of Italian military secret service SISMI , declared to a parliamentary committee that In 1985 to 1987 we organized a kind of golpe in Tunisia , putting president Ben Ali as head of state , replacing Burghiba ( the Italian spelling of the name ) who wanted to flee . Bourguiba , although a symbol of anti-colonial resistance , was considered incapable of leading his country any longer , and his reaction to the rising Islamic integrism was deemed a bit too energetic by Martini ; Bourguibas threat to execute the suspects might have generated strong negative responses in neighbouring countries . Acting under directives from Bettino Craxi , Italian Prime Minister , and foreign minister Giulio Andreotti , Martini claims to have brokered the accord that led to the peaceful transition of powers . Bettino Craxi had visited Algiers in November 1984 , and was warned by president Chadli Benjedid that Algeria was ready to invade that region of Tunisia that was crossed by the pipeline towards Italy , if Bourguiba was not able to guarantee the stability of his own country . Algeria was trying to diversify its foreign policy , feeling isolated by Spain and French President François Mitterrands accord with Morocco and Libya over Chad . For two years , according to Martini , Italian and Algerian secret services worked together in order , on one hand , to avoid the growing destabilisation of Tunisia spilling over into Algeria , and on the other hand to control pro-Palestinian activities in Italy . Finally , Ben Ali was singled out as possible replacement for Bourguiba : as chief of the Tunisian secret services and as Minister of the Interior , he had opposed plans to execute Islamic fundamentalists . SISMIs action did not have the consent of René Imbot , head of the French secret service , and the USA allegedly was not informed . According to Martini , the SISMI did not have an operational role in Ben Alis rise to power , but organised a move to support his new government politically and economically , preventing Tunisia from falling into an open confrontation with fundamentalists , as happened in Algeria in the following years . Presidency . Politics . Ben Ali initially promised a more democratic way of ruling the country than had prevailed under Bourguiba . One of his first acts upon taking office was to loosen restrictions on the press ; for the first time state-controlled newspapers published statements from the opposition . In 1988 , he changed the name of the ruling Destourian Socialist Party to the Democratic Constitutional Rally ( RCD ) , and pushed through constitutional amendments that limited the president to three five-year terms , with no more than two in a row . However , the conduct of the 1989 elections was little difference from past elections . The RCD swept every seat in the legislature , and Ben Ali appeared alone on the ballot in Tunisias first presidential election since 1974 . Although opposition parties had been legal since 1981 , presidential candidates were required to get endorsements from 30 political figures . Given the RCDs near-absolute dominance of the political scene , prospective opposition candidates discovered they could not get their nomination papers signed . The subsequent years saw the return of several Bourguiba-era restrictions . For many years , the press had been expected to practice self-censorship , but this increasingly gave way to official censorship . Amendments to the press code allowed the Interior Ministry to review all newspaper and magazine articles before publication . In 1992 , the presidents younger brother Habib Ben Ali was tried in absentia in France for laundering the proceeds of drug trafficking , in a case known as the couscous connection . French television news was blocked in Tunisia during the trial . At the 1994 elections , opposition parties polled 2.25% and gained 19 of 163 seats in Parliament—the first time opposition parties had actually managed to get into the chamber . Ben Ali was unopposed for a second full term , again after being the only candidate to get enough endorsements to qualify . Turnout was officially reported at 95% . However , at this and subsequent elections , opposition parties never accounted for more than 24 percent of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies . All legislation continued to originate with the president , and there was little meaningful opposition to executive decisions . In 1999 , Ben Ali became the first Tunisian president to actually face an opponent after the 30-signature requirement was lifted a few months earlier . However , he won a third full term with an implausible 99.4 percent of the vote . A constitutional referendum in 2002—the first ever held in Tunisia—established a two-chambered parliament , creating the Chamber of Advisers . It also allowed the president to run for an unlimited number of five-year terms and amended the upper age limit for a presidential candidate to 75 years old ( previously 70 ) . The latter measures were clearly aimed at keeping Ben Ali in office ; he faced having to give up the presidency in 2004 . He was duly reelected in 2004 , again by an implausibly high margin—this time 94 percent of the vote . Tunisia under Ben Ali had problems with human rights violations , such as freedom of the press , highlighted by the official treatment of the journalist Taoufik Ben Brik , who was harassed and imprisoned for his criticism of Ben Ali . By the dawn of the new millennium , Ben Ali was reckoned as leading one of the most repressive regimes in the world . Under his rule , Tunisia consistently ranked near the bottom of most international rankings for human rights and press freedom . On 25 October 2009 , Ben Ali was re-elected for a fifth term with 89% of the vote . The African Union sent a team of observers to cover the election . The delegation was led by Benjamin Bounkoulou , who described the election as free and fair . However , a spokesperson from the US State Department indicated that Tunisia had not permitted monitoring of the election by international observers , but that the U.S . was still committed to working with the Ben Ali and the Tunisian government . There also were reports of mistreatment of an opposition candidate . In December 2010 and January 2011 , riots over unemployment escalated into a widespread popular protest movement against Ben Alis government . On 13 January 2011 , he announced he would not run for another term in 2014 , and pledged steps to improve the economy and loosen restrictions on the press . The following day , however , thousands demonstrated in the center of Tunis , demanding Ben Alis immediate resignation . On 14 January 2011 , Ben Ali , his wife and children fled to Saudi Arabia , and a caretaker ruling committee headed by Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi was announced . Economy . As president , Ben Ali instituted economic reforms that increased Tunisias growth rate and foreign investment . During his administration , Tunisias per capita GDP more than tripled from $1,201 in 1986 to $3,786 in 2008 . Although growth in 2002 slowed to a 15-year low of 1.9% due to drought and lackluster tourism ( partly due to some tourists being nervous about flying in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in New York ) , better conditions after 2003 helped push growth to about 5% of GDP . For about 20 years after 1987 , the GDP annual growth averaged nearly 5% . A report published in July 2010 by the Boston Consulting Group ( The African Challengers : Global Competitors Emerge from the Overlooked Continent ) listed Tunisia as one of the African Lions and indicated the eight such countries account for 70% of the continents gross domestic product . Steady increases in GDP growth continued through positive trade relations with the European Union , a revitalised tourism industry and sustained agricultural production . Privatization , increasing foreign investment , improvements in government efficiency and reduction of the trade deficit presented challenges for the future . The 2010/11 Global Competitiveness Report ( Davos World Economic Forum ) ranked Tunisia 1st in Africa and 32nd globally out of 139 countries but it dropped to 40th in 2011/12 as a result of political instability and was not ranked in 2012/13 . According to the Oxford Business Group , Tunisias economy was likely to grow from 2008 due to its diversified industries . Committed to fighting poverty at home , Ben Ali instituted reforms including the National Solidarity Fund which slashed the Tunisian poverty rate from 7.4% in 1990 to an estimated 3.8% in 2005 . The National Solidarity Fund was part of a dual strategy to fight current and potential terrorism through economic assistance , development and the rule of law , but also increased opportunities for corruption and clientelism . The fund provided opportunities to those living in impoverished areas and are vulnerable to recruitment by terrorists . It was a critical element in the fight against terrorism . However , Tunisia continued to suffer from high unemployment , especially among youth . Left out of the recent prosperity were many rural and urban poor , including small businesses facing the world market . This and the blocking of free speech were the causes of the Tunisian revolution . Diplomacy . During Ben Alis presidency , Tunisia pursued a moderate foreign policy promoting peaceful settlement of conflicts . Tunisia took a middle of the road approach contributing to peacemaking , especially in the Middle East and Africa . Tunisia hosted the first-ever Palestinian American dialogue . While contributing actively to the Middle East peace process , Tunisian diplomacy has supported the Palestinian cause . As host to the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1982–1993 , Ben Alis government tried to moderate the views of that organisation . Tunisia , since the early 1990s , called for a concerted international effort against terrorism . It was also a key US partner in the effort to fight global terrorism through the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative . Ben Ali mostly retained his predecessors pro-western foreign policy , though he improved ties with the Arab-Muslim world . He took several initiatives to promote solidarity , dialogue and cooperation among nations . Ben Ali initiated the creation of the United Nations World Solidarity Fund to eradicate poverty and promote social development based on the successful experience of the Tunisian National Solidarity Fund . Ben Ali also played a lead role in the UNs proclaiming 2010 as the International Year of Youth . International characterisations . Ben Alis government was considered to have one of the worst human rights records in the world , and largely bucked the trend toward greater democracy in Africa . His regime was dictatorial , and massively repressive , especially towards the conclusion of his 23-year iron grip on the country . It was deemed authoritarian and undemocratic by international human rights groups such as Amnesty International , Freedom House , and Protection International . They criticised Tunisian officials for not observing international standards of political rights and interfering with the work of local human rights organisations . In The Economists 2010 Democracy Index , Tunisia was classified as an authoritarian regime , ranking 144th out of 167 countries studied . In 2008 , in terms of freedom of the press , Tunisia was ranked 143 out of 173 . Ousted from the presidency . In response to the protests , Ben Ali declared a state of emergency , dissolved the government on 14 January 2011 , and promised new legislative elections within six months . However , events moved quickly , and it appears the armed forces and key members of the legislature had lost confidence in Ben Ali and had decided to take steps of their own . With power slipping from his grasp , Ben Ali resigned the presidency at about 16:00 and delegated prime minister Mohamed Ghannouchi to act as head of state during his temporary absence . With the army surrounding the Presidential Palace in Tunis , Ben Ali and close members of his family hastily left and headed to Laouina airport ( annexed to the civil airport of Tunis Carthage ) . The military allowed Ben Alis plane to take off , immediately after which the Tunisian airspace was closed . The presidential plane headed first to France . But after the plane was denied landing rights on French territory , it directly flew to Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . Ben Ali and his family were accepted by King Abdullah to live there under the condition that he should keep out of politics . Ben Ali and his family went to exile in Jeddah , the same city where Idi Amin , the late dictator of Uganda , lived in exile until his death in 2003 , after being removed from power in 1979 , at the end of the Uganda–Tanzania War . Other close associates and family members who attempted to leave the country via Tunis–Carthage International Airport were prevented from doing so by the army , which had seized the airport . Succession confusion . At about 18:00 , Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi went on state television to say Since the president is temporarily unable to exercise his duties , it has been decided that the prime minister will exercise temporarily the ( presidential ) duties . However , this arrangement was very short-lived , because early the following day ( 15 January 2011 ) the Constitutional Council of Tunisia determined that Ben Ali was not temporarily unable to exercise his duties and that the presidency was in fact vacant . The arrangements he had made with the Prime Minister before leaving the country were found to be unconstitutional under article 57 of the constitution . The countrys constitutional council , at the time the highest legal authority on constitutional matters , announced the transition saying that Fouad Mebazaa ( the Speaker of Parliament ) had been appointed acting president . Mebazaa took the oath in his office in parliament , swearing to respect the constitution in the presence of his senate counterpart , Abdallal Kallel , and representatives of both houses . It was also announced that the speaker of parliament would occupy the post of president temporarily and that elections would be held within a period of between 45 and 60 days . Arrest and trial . On 26 January 2011 , the Tunisian government issued an international arrest warrant for Ben Ali , accusing him of taking money out of the nation illegally and illegally acquiring real estate and other assets abroad , Justice Minister Lazhar Karoui Chebbi said . Videos show that the president stashed cash and jewellery in the presidents palace . The gold and jewellery will be redistributed to the people by the government . The Swiss government announced that it was freezing millions of dollars held in bank accounts by his family . On 28 January 2011 , Interpol issued an arrest warrant for Ben Ali and his six family members , including his wife Leïla . After Ben Ali fled Tunisia following the Tunisian revolution , he and his wife were tried in absentia for his suspected involvement in some of the countrys largest businesses during his 23-year-long reign . On 20 June 2011 , Ben Ali and his wife were sentenced to 35 years in prison after being found guilty of theft and unlawful possession of cash and jewelry . The verdict also included a penalty of 91 million Tunisian dinars ( approximately €50 million , and $64 million ) that Ben Ali was required to pay . This verdict was dismissed as a charade by some Tunisians dissatisfied with the trial and as a joke by Ben Alis lawyer . The sentences were to take immediate effect , although Ben Ali and his wife were living in Saudi Arabia and the Saudi government ignored Tunisias requests to extradite them . In November 2016 , Ben Ali made a statement via the office of his lawyer , Mounir Ben Salha , acknowledging his regime made errors , abuses and violations . His statement came as a reaction to the public hearing sessions made by the Truth and Dignity Commission in Tunisia . Family . Ben Ali and his family were accused of corruption , which was a major contribution to the 2010–2011 Tunisian protests which led to the fall of his government . Many of Ben Alis family members subsequently also fled the country . On 20 January 2011 , Tunisian television reported that 33 members of Ben Alis family had been arrested in the past week , as they tried to flee the country . Leïla Ben Ali was the chair of the Basma Association , a group that promotes social integration and provides employment opportunities for the disabled . She was also the president of the Arab Women Organization , which works to empower women in Arab states . She has three children : Nesrine , Halima and Mohamed Zine El Abidine . Ben Ali has three daughters from his first marriage : Ghazwa , Dorsaf and Cyrine . Health and death . On 17 February 2011 , it was reported that Ben Ali had suffered a stroke , and had been hospitalised for an indefinite period . Al Jazeera reported that a Saudi source had confirmed that Ben Ali had indeed sustained severe complications of a stroke and that he was in critical condition . The information has never been confirmed or denied by the Saudi Government . However , on 17 June 2011 , Ben Alis attorney , Jean-Yves Leborgne , stated that Ben Ali is not in the state that hes said to be in and that a meeting with his client took place under normal circumstances . Ben Ali died at a hospital in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , due to prostate cancer on 19 September 2019 at the age of 83 . He was buried on 21 September at the Al-Baqi Cemetery in Medina . |

By the dawn of the new millennium , Ben Ali was reckoned as leading one of the most repressive regimes in the world . Under his rule , Tunisia consistently ranked near the bottom of most international rankings for human rights and press freedom . On 25 October 2009 , Ben Ali was re-elected for a fifth term with 89% of the vote . The African Union sent a team of observers to cover the election . The delegation was led by Benjamin Bounkoulou , who described the election as free and fair . However , a spokesperson from the US State Department indicated that Tunisia had not permitted monitoring of the election by international observers , but that the U.S . was still committed to working with the Ben Ali and the Tunisian government . There also were reports of mistreatment of an opposition candidate . In December 2010 and January 2011 , riots over unemployment escalated into a widespread popular protest movement against Ben Alis government . On 13 January 2011 , he announced he would not run for another term in 2014 , and pledged steps to improve the economy and loosen restrictions on the press . The following day , however , thousands demonstrated in the center of Tunis , demanding Ben Alis immediate resignation . On 14 January 2011 , Ben Ali , his wife and children fled to Saudi Arabia , and a caretaker ruling committee headed by Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi was announced . Economy . As president , Ben Ali instituted economic reforms that increased Tunisias growth rate and foreign investment . During his administration , Tunisias per capita GDP more than tripled from $1,201 in 1986 to $3,786 in 2008 . Although growth in 2002 slowed to a 15-year low of 1.9% due to drought and lackluster tourism ( partly due to some tourists being nervous about flying in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in New York ) , better conditions after 2003 helped push growth to about 5% of GDP . For about 20 years after 1987 , the GDP annual growth averaged nearly 5% . A report published in July 2010 by the Boston Consulting Group ( The African Challengers : Global Competitors Emerge from the Overlooked Continent ) listed Tunisia as one of the African Lions and indicated the eight such countries account for 70% of the continents gross domestic product . Steady increases in GDP growth continued through positive trade relations with the European Union , a revitalised tourism industry and sustained agricultural production . Privatization , increasing foreign investment , improvements in government efficiency and reduction of the trade deficit presented challenges for the future . The 2010/11 Global Competitiveness Report ( Davos World Economic Forum ) ranked Tunisia 1st in Africa and 32nd globally out of 139 countries but it dropped to 40th in 2011/12 as a result of political instability and was not ranked in 2012/13 . According to the Oxford Business Group , Tunisias economy was likely to grow from 2008 due to its diversified industries . Committed to fighting poverty at home , Ben Ali instituted reforms including the National Solidarity Fund which slashed the Tunisian poverty rate from 7.4% in 1990 to an estimated 3.8% in 2005 . The National Solidarity Fund was part of a dual strategy to fight current and potential terrorism through economic assistance , development and the rule of law , but also increased opportunities for corruption and clientelism . The fund provided opportunities to those living in impoverished areas and are vulnerable to recruitment by terrorists . It was a critical element in the fight against terrorism . However , Tunisia continued to suffer from high unemployment , especially among youth . Left out of the recent prosperity were many rural and urban poor , including small businesses facing the world market . This and the blocking of free speech were the causes of the Tunisian revolution . Diplomacy . During Ben Alis presidency , Tunisia pursued a moderate foreign policy promoting peaceful settlement of conflicts . Tunisia took a middle of the road approach contributing to peacemaking , especially in the Middle East and Africa . Tunisia hosted the first-ever Palestinian American dialogue . While contributing actively to the Middle East peace process , Tunisian diplomacy has supported the Palestinian cause . As host to the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1982–1993 , Ben Alis government tried to moderate the views of that organisation . Tunisia , since the early 1990s , called for a concerted international effort against terrorism . It was also a key US partner in the effort to fight global terrorism through the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative . Ben Ali mostly retained his predecessors pro-western foreign policy , though he improved ties with the Arab-Muslim world . He took several initiatives to promote solidarity , dialogue and cooperation among nations . Ben Ali initiated the creation of the United Nations World Solidarity Fund to eradicate poverty and promote social development based on the successful experience of the Tunisian National Solidarity Fund . Ben Ali also played a lead role in the UNs proclaiming 2010 as the International Year of Youth . International characterisations . Ben Alis government was considered to have one of the worst human rights records in the world , and largely bucked the trend toward greater democracy in Africa . His regime was dictatorial , and massively repressive , especially towards the conclusion of his 23-year iron grip on the country . It was deemed authoritarian and undemocratic by international human rights groups such as Amnesty International , Freedom House , and Protection International . They criticised Tunisian officials for not observing international standards of political rights and interfering with the work of local human rights organisations . In The Economists 2010 Democracy Index , Tunisia was classified as an authoritarian regime , ranking 144th out of 167 countries studied . In 2008 , in terms of freedom of the press , Tunisia was ranked 143 out of 173 . Ousted from the presidency . In response to the protests , Ben Ali declared a state of emergency , dissolved the government on 14 January 2011 , and promised new legislative elections within six months . However , events moved quickly , and it appears the armed forces and key members of the legislature had lost confidence in Ben Ali and had decided to take steps of their own . With power slipping from his grasp , Ben Ali resigned the presidency at about 16:00 and delegated prime minister Mohamed Ghannouchi to act as head of state during his temporary absence . With the army surrounding the Presidential Palace in Tunis , Ben Ali and close members of his family hastily left and headed to Laouina airport ( annexed to the civil airport of Tunis Carthage ) . The military allowed Ben Alis plane to take off , immediately after which the Tunisian airspace was closed . The presidential plane headed first to France . But after the plane was denied landing rights on French territory , it directly flew to Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . Ben Ali and his family were accepted by King Abdullah to live there under the condition that he should keep out of politics . Ben Ali and his family went to exile in Jeddah , the same city where Idi Amin , the late dictator of Uganda , lived in exile until his death in 2003 , after being removed from power in 1979 , at the end of the Uganda–Tanzania War . Other close associates and family members who attempted to leave the country via Tunis–Carthage International Airport were prevented from doing so by the army , which had seized the airport . Succession confusion . At about 18:00 , Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi went on state television to say Since the president is temporarily unable to exercise his duties , it has been decided that the prime minister will exercise temporarily the ( presidential ) duties . However , this arrangement was very short-lived , because early the following day ( 15 January 2011 ) the Constitutional Council of Tunisia determined that Ben Ali was not temporarily unable to exercise his duties and that the presidency was in fact vacant . The arrangements he had made with the Prime Minister before leaving the country were found to be unconstitutional under article 57 of the constitution . The countrys constitutional council , at the time the highest legal authority on constitutional matters , announced the transition saying that Fouad Mebazaa ( the Speaker of Parliament ) had been appointed acting president . Mebazaa took the oath in his office in parliament , swearing to respect the constitution in the presence of his senate counterpart , Abdallal Kallel , and representatives of both houses . It was also announced that the speaker of parliament would occupy the post of president temporarily and that elections would be held within a period of between 45 and 60 days . Arrest and trial . On 26 January 2011 , the Tunisian government issued an international arrest warrant for Ben Ali , accusing him of taking money out of the nation illegally and illegally acquiring real estate and other assets abroad , Justice Minister Lazhar Karoui Chebbi said . Videos show that the president stashed cash and jewellery in the presidents palace . The gold and jewellery will be redistributed to the people by the government . The Swiss government announced that it was freezing millions of dollars held in bank accounts by his family . On 28 January 2011 , Interpol issued an arrest warrant for Ben Ali and his six family members , including his wife Leïla . After Ben Ali fled Tunisia following the Tunisian revolution , he and his wife were tried in absentia for his suspected involvement in some of the countrys largest businesses during his 23-year-long reign . On 20 June 2011 , Ben Ali and his wife were sentenced to 35 years in prison after being found guilty of theft and unlawful possession of cash and jewelry . The verdict also included a penalty of 91 million Tunisian dinars ( approximately €50 million , and $64 million ) that Ben Ali was required to pay . This verdict was dismissed as a charade by some Tunisians dissatisfied with the trial and as a joke by Ben Alis lawyer . The sentences were to take immediate effect , although Ben Ali and his wife were living in Saudi Arabia and the Saudi government ignored Tunisias requests to extradite them . In November 2016 , Ben Ali made a statement via the office of his lawyer , Mounir Ben Salha , acknowledging his regime made errors , abuses and violations . His statement came as a reaction to the public hearing sessions made by the Truth and Dignity Commission in Tunisia . Family . Ben Ali and his family were accused of corruption , which was a major contribution to the 2010–2011 Tunisian protests which led to the fall of his government . Many of Ben Alis family members subsequently also fled the country . On 20 January 2011 , Tunisian television reported that 33 members of Ben Alis family had been arrested in the past week , as they tried to flee the country . Leïla Ben Ali was the chair of the Basma Association , a group that promotes social integration and provides employment opportunities for the disabled . She was also the president of the Arab Women Organization , which works to empower women in Arab states . She has three children : Nesrine , Halima and Mohamed Zine El Abidine . Ben Ali has three daughters from his first marriage : Ghazwa , Dorsaf and Cyrine . Health and death . On 17 February 2011 , it was reported that Ben Ali had suffered a stroke , and had been hospitalised for an indefinite period . Al Jazeera reported that a Saudi source had confirmed that Ben Ali had indeed sustained severe complications of a stroke and that he was in critical condition . The information has never been confirmed or denied by the Saudi Government . However , on 17 June 2011 , Ben Alis attorney , Jean-Yves Leborgne , stated that Ben Ali is not in the state that hes said to be in and that a meeting with his client took place under normal circumstances . Ben Ali died at a hospital in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , due to prostate cancer on 19 September 2019 at the age of 83 . He was buried on 21 September at the Al-Baqi Cemetery in Medina . |
