Revolution in Military Affairs and Operational Maneuver from the Sea
From the thesis abstract: "A Revolution in Military Affairs [RMA] consists of technological advances, operational innovation, and organizational adaptation, all of which combine to transition to a new form of warfare. While there is debate on whether we are experience an RMA, there is no doubt that there are dramatic changes taking place that we need look at new ways of coping with. Operational Maneuver from the Sea [OMFTS] is a new concept which applies the principles of maneuver warfare to maritime power projection. With a few changes, OMFTS is an appropriate concept for leveraging new technologies and employing new organizations like Naval Expeditionary Forces in what may be new forms of warfare emerging from a RMA. While embedded in police statements at the highest levels of the Department of the Navy, OMFTS has yet to be implemented. The concepts of Composite Warfare Commander and Battlespace Dominance should be folded into OMFTS to provide a compelling vision for the future employment of Naval forces."

Bill to Relocate United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem: Memorandum Opinion for the Counsel to the President [May 16, 1995]
"In general, because the venue at which diplomatic relations occur is itself often diplomatically significant, Congress may not impose on the President its own foreign policy judgments as to the particular sites at which the United States' diplomatic relations are to take place. More specifically, Congress cannot trammel the President's constitutional authority to conduct the Nation's foreign affairs and to recognize foreign governments by directing the relocation of an embassy. This is particularly true where, as here, the location of the embassy is not only of great significance in establishing the United States' relationship with a single country, but may well also determine our relations with an entire region of the world. Finally, to the extent that S. 770 is intended to affect recognition policy with respect to Jerusalem, it is inconsistent with the exclusivity of the President's recognition power."

RMA and the Post Goldwater-Nichols World: More Tinkering Ahead for the JCS?
From the thesis abstract: "Defense organization reform is a recurrent issue linked to tradeoffs between civilian control and military efficiency. The 'myth of reorganization' complicates efforts at defense reform. This myth springs from a belief in the applicability of quantification to all defense issues, leading to the idea that reorganization is the solution to all of our military problems. An opposing belief holds that inadequacies in our defense system are due to the personalities of the stake holders, and that we should concentrate our efforts on identifying the ablest leaders, rather than tinkering with organizational structures. The 'Revolution in Military Affairs' [RMA] and the end of the Cold War have changed the nature of our national interests, calling our bipolar defense orientation into question. The evolution of the Joint Chiefs of Staff [JCS] System responded to our assumption of international responsibilities and eventually superpower status in a bipolar world. The Goldwater-Nichols Act culminated the cycle of Cold War changes to our defense establishment by addressing the issues of Service Parochialism, Jointness, and the Quality of Military Advice. Our national interests in the post-Cold War would involve new challenges that will inevitably call for adjustments in our National Defense System. More flexibility and adaptation of our planning and analysis organizations to joint and combined operations will be the prime factors in continuing efforts at defense reform."

Second Annual Conference on Law Enforcement Technology for the 21st Century: Conference Report
"Technologies can provide new options for law enforcement agencies seeking ways to reduce the use of violent or lethal force in confronting uncooperative suspects. Furthermore, new technologies are essential to assist law enforcement in maintaining at least some parity with the methods criminals employ in trying to escape detection and avoid apprehension. This second Law Enforcement Technology Conference was designed to generate and illuminate discussion on core issues; to continue a strong dialog and partnership among law enforcement, industry, and government; and to facilitate the goal of bringing the criminal justice community into the 21st century. The conference considered a host of law enforcement issues-liability, public safety, business opportunities, technology needs, technology as a force multiplier, technology affordability, government responsibility, and opportunities to leverage research and development. In addition, the program highlighted technology achievements since the first conference and examined the movement of technology to the marketplace, including production and marketing, creative financing, and the role of government agencies."

"This is in response to your request for a legal opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel ('OLC') on whether the Secretary of the Treasury ('Secretary') has the authority to order the closing to vehicular traffic of (1) Pennsylvania Avenue between 17th Street and Madison Avenue, (2) State Place, (3) and the segment of South Executive Avenue that connects into State Place in furtherance of his responsibility to protect the President under 18 U.S.C. § 3056. Based on a review of § 3056 and related statutes, their legislative histories, and relevant court and OLC opinions, we conclude that § 3056 grants the Secretary broad authority to take actions that are necessary and proper to protect the President. In light of the recommendations of the White House Security Review and the United States Secret Service's unique expertise and special responsibility in this matter, we agree with your conclusion that § 3056 authorizes the actions contemplated by the Secretary."
Whether 18 U.S.C. § 603 Bars Civilian Executive Branch Employees and Officers from Making Contributions to a President's Authorized Re-Election Campaign Committee: Memorandum Opinion for the Counsel to the President [May 5, 1995]
"You have asked for our opinion with respect to whether 18 U.S.C. § 603 would bar civilian executive branch employees and officers from making contributions to a President's authorized re-election campaign committee. For the reasons expressed below, we conclude that such employees and officers would not violate § 603 by making such contributions, without more."
H. Rept. 104-110, Part 2: Pipeline Safety Act of 1995, Report Together with Dissenting and Additional Dissenting Views to Accompany H.R. 1323, Including Cost Estimate of the Congressional Budget Office, May 1, 1995
From the Purpose and Summary: "H.R. 1323 reauthorizes the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 and the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act of 1979. These two Acts were combined into Chapter 601 of Title 49 of the United States Code during recodification of laws in 1994."
Few international dangers confronting the United States have more serious and far-reaching implications for national security and worldwide stability than the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The legendary Chinese master of military strategy, Sun Tzu, is reported to have said that the best method of preserving security is to avoid direct battle and instead attack the enemy's plans and strategies. That, in essence, is a fundamental principle of the nonproliferation policy of the United States. If we can determine and understand the plans and intentions of would-be proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, and then frustrate those plans before they reach fruition, we will have preserved the security of our nation without having to confront the devastating power of the weapons themselves. The proliferation of WMD is a global problem that cuts across geographic, political, and technological lines. It involves some of the largest and smallest, richest and poorest countries led by some of the most reactionary and unstable regimes Many potential proliferators are convinced that they need to develop WMD and associated delivery systems to protect their national security.
H. Rept. 104-110, Part 1: Pipeline Safety Act of 1995, Report Together with Additional Views to Accompany H.R. 1323, Including Cost Estimate of the Congressional Budget Office, May 1, 1995
From the Purpose: "The purpose of this legislation is to reauthorize the Natural Gas and Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety programs and to reduce risk to public safety and the environment associated with pipeline transportation of natural gas and hazardous liquids."
Reengineering Defense Acquisition: A Concept of Operations for Waging the Acquisition Campaigns of the 21st Century
The defense acquisition system has earned a reputation of being unable to provide the weapons the warfighters need at a value the Congress and American taxpayers deserve. At the macro level, acquisition is the convergence of five processes--requirements, technology, budgeting, management and operations and support. Micro-management of acquisition execution, when coupled with unstable requirements, technology and budgeting processes, results in a system that is not responsive to the customers' needs. It is time to implement dramatic changes based on a process-oriented reengineering of the entire system and radically improve its performance. To generate recommendations for system improvement, we assessed and restructured the top-level, macro processes associated with defense acquisition--relying on the time-proven tenet of centralized control with decentralized execution. To address current system shortfalls, we propose greatly expanding the role of the joint staff in preparing, planning and executing joint acquisition campaigns. The authors suggest the Department of Defense (DoD) execute acquisition campaigns by mirroring the way military forces plan and execute joint battle campaigns. They suggest process improvements which will strengthen the link between requirements definition and technology insertion. They also suggest altering the budgeting process to enable the DoD to submit a more unified budget position each fiscal year. They then developed a phased, methodical approach for implementing the proposed changes. The recommendations are controversial. The authors are challenging dogmatically accepted paradigms regarding the way the DoD bureaucracy functions and the roles of the joint staff. Before any of the proposed changes can be implemented, dramatic changes in current laws will have to occur. The recommendations are not consistent with either the current interpretations of Title 10 or the law governing the size of the Joint Staff. However, only by changing the current bureaucratic organizations and culture will the acquisition community have a chance at providing the capabilities US warfighters need in the resource constrained environment in which the DoD will continue to find itself.

Selected Annotated Bibliography on Youth and Gang Violence Prevention, Community Team Organizing and Training, and Cultural Awareness Curricula
"This document has been prepared as a resource for youth-serving organizations and individuals, researchers, and policymakers concerned with youth issues. In their efforts to deal proactively with youth violence, gangs, and drug involvement-and to address the opportunities and challenges of collaborating with diverse communities to enhance youth development-many hard-working groups and individuals find that they lack the time to stay current on important literature in their fields. This annotated bibliography deals with this dilemma by providing brief summaries of materials ranging from reports and monographs to curricula, training manuals, articles, and other literature and products. The topics covered in this bibliography reflect the wide array of issues facing youthserving groups and professionals. The original impetus for the creation of this document was a set of expert meetings held in the spring and summer of 1993 to develop a guide to building and training community-based violence prevention teams. Participants in those meetings suggested that a multi-topic, annotated bibliography would meet the diverse informational needs of a broad spectrum of concerned parties."

Human Radiation Studies: Remembering the Early Years, Oral History of Merril Eisenbud
"In December 1993, U.S. Secretary of Energy Hazel R. O'Leary announced her Openness Initiative. As part of this initiative, the Department of Energy undertook an effort to identify and catalog historical documents on radiation experiments that had used human subjects. The Office of Human Radiation Experiments coordinated the Department's search for records about these experiments. […] In September 1994, the Office of Human Radiation Experiments, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, began an oral history project to fulfill this goal. The project involved interviewing researchers and others with firsthand knowledge of either the human radiation experimentation that occurred during the Cold War or the institutional context in which such experimentation took place. The purpose of this project was to enrich the documentary record, provide missing information, and allow the researchers an opportunity to provide their perspective. […] Merril Eisenbud was selected for the oral history project because of his former positions as Director of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission's (ABC's) Health & Safety Laboratory (HASL) and Manager of the New York Operations Office, and because of his research into the effects of environmental radioactivity. The oral history covers Mr. Eisenbud's long career, focusing on the years spent founding and managing the Health & Safety Laboratory, his research on radioactive fallout in the United States and abroad, and his experiences with early occupational exposure, especially in uranium processing."

"This report examines how to estimate the parameters of a chaotic system given noisy observations of the state behavior of the system. Investigating parameter estimation for chaotic systems is interesting because of possible applications for high precision measurement and tor use in other signal processing, communication, and control applications involving chaotic systems. In this report, we examine theoretical issues regarding parameter estimation in chaotic systems and develop an efficient algorithm to perform parameter estimation. We discover two properties that are helpful for performing parameter estimation on non-structurally stable systems. First, it turns out that most data in a time series of state observations contribute very little information about the underlying parameters of a system, while a few sections of data may be extraordinarily sensitive to parameter changes. Second, for one-parameter families of systems, we demonstrate that there is often a preferred direction in parameter space governing how easily trajectories of one system can 'shadow' trajectories of nearby systems. This asymmetry of shadowing behavior in parameter space is proved for certain families of maps of the interval. Numerical evidence indicates that similar results may be true for a wide variety of other systems. Using the two properties cited above, we devise an algorithm for performing parameter estimation Standard parameter estimation techniques such as the extended Kaiman filter perform poorly on chaotic systems because of divergence problems. The proposed algorithm achieves accuracies several orders of magnitude better than the Kaiman filter and has good convergence properties for large data sets. In some systems the algorithm converges at a rate proportional to $\frac{l}{nA{2}}$ where $n$ is the number of state samples processed. This is significantly better than the $\frac{l}{\sqrt{n}}$ convergence one would expect from nonchaotic oscillators based on purely stochastic considerations."

Operations Other Than War: A Selected Bibliography
Impact of the NBC Clothing Ensemble on Respiratory Function and Capacities During Rest and Exercise
This study examined the effects of wearing a modified MOPP (mMOPP) over garment (Protective Clothing, PC), configured with body armor (BA), Load Bearing Equipment (LBE), and M40 CB mask on the pattern and mechanics of breathing and cognitive functioning in 15 male soldiers at rest and during sustained sub-maximal exercise (approx. 600 W). The M40 CB mask reduced breathing capacity 20%, and the PC+BA+LBE components of the mMOPP reduced it 5%. Total respiratory system compliance decreased by 16% in the mMOPP. Thus, wearing the PC+BA+LBE increased the "stiffness" of the soldier's respiratory system. During exercise, the mMOPP decreased tidal volume and increased respiratory rate, a compensation for the decreased respiratory system compliance. Although the M40 CB mask imposes a significant impairment to breathing, the PC with BA and LBE presents a unique external constraint on breathing, which may be more aversive than that imposed by the CB mask. These impairments may be reduced by wearing BA and LBE that are properly fitted over the PC and incorporating, in future designs, enhancements that allow for outward expansion of the PC, BA or LBE with inhalation.

"With the end of the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as the only remaining superpower in a world increasingly characterized by disorder, the U.S. has found itself involved in a number of 'peace operations'. These are complex, untraditional missions that are as much political as they are military. Moreover, their successful conduct requires the U.S. military to work with a wide variety of institutions and organizations including foreign governments, non-national political actors, international organizations, and private voluntary organizations (PVOs), as well as the variety of U.S. Government agencies and foreign military forces that are typically part of a peace operation coalition."

Profile Series China: Family Planning Policy and Practice in the People's Republic of China
"China's family planning program represents one of the world's most comprehensive and controversial efforts to achieve rapid population stabilization. China experts differ in their assessment of the extent of coercion in the family planning program. There is general agreement, however, on the use of coercion in parts of China, including Fujian province. A recent informal review of asylum applications by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor reported that approximately 75 per cent of Chinese asylum seekers come from Fujian Province. In view of this, available information pertaining specifically to the family planning program in Fujian Province has been included in this report."
