Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, was founded in 1942 by William 'Wild Bill' Donovan under the direction of President Roosevelt, who realized the need to improve intelligence during wartime. A rigorous recruitment process enlisted agents from both the armed services and civilians to produce operational groups specializing in different foreign areas including Italy, Norway, Yugoslavia and China. At its peak in 1944, the number of men and women working in the service totaled nearly 13,500. This intriguing story of the origins and development of the American espionage forces covers all of the different departments involved, with a particular emphasis on the courageous teams operating in the field. The volume is illustrated with many photographs, including images from the film director John Ford who led the OSS Photographic Unit and parachuted into Burma in 1943.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the quality and timeliness of services provided by National Park Services' (NPS) Denver Service Center, focusing on: (1) how NPS sets priorities for funding construction projects and how Congress modifies those priorities during consideration of annual NPS budget requests; (2) the process NPS uses to develop project cost estimates; and (3) the makeup of the projects' contingency and supervision funds. GAO found that: (1) park managers were generally satisfied with the Center's service quality and timeliness for projects completed during fiscal year (FY) 1991 through FY 1993; (2) reported problems did not appear to be systemic, since they varied among the construction projects and park units; (3) park managers' decisions not to use the Center's services were generally not based on concerns about the quality of those services; (4) NPS sets construction priorities through a bottom-up decision making process with input from individual park units; (5) NPS is planning to revise its priority-setting process, since the current process is not based on objective criteria; (6) Congress often funds construction projects in addition to those on the NPS priority list, and also provides funding levels far above those requested by NPS; (7) the gap between NPS budget requests and appropriations is narrowing because of annual limits on discretionary spending; (8) although the Center develops and refines cost estimates prior to funding requests, congressionally designated projects are often funded before they are planned and designed; (9) contingency and project supervision costs are usually included in project cost estimates; and (10) historically, contingencies and project supervision have accounted for 16 percent and 15 percent, respectively, of a project's cost, but there are no standards for reasonable contingency or supervision costs.

Download or read book America s National Parks and Their Keepers written by Ronald A. Foresta and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. This book is a study of an expanding National Park System; it is also a study of the bureaucracy that shaped it, how it grew, and the stresses it faces. As Dr. Foresta shows, the Park Service is no stranger to controversy and change. One of the Service's strengths has been its pragmatism and adaptability, but current guidelines are hard to come by and the decisions of the future will be neither simple nor easy. This study is valuable not only for its analysis but for the informed, revealing picture it presents of an agency and a system that have enriched the lives of countless citizens and visitors to this country.
