Book excerpt: On June 21, 2000, the House passed the VA-HUD FY2001 appropriations bill, H.R. 4635, that recommends $30.0 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This is an increase of nearly 16% or $4.1 billion more than the $25.9 billion enacted last year. But, it is $2.5 billion less than the Administration's request for $32.5 billion. The Housing Certificate Fund would receive $13.275 billion, $853 million less than the Administration's request. No funds are specifically designated for the 120,000 incremental rental housing vouchers that the Administration requested. However, the House-passed bill provides for 10,000 vouchers to be used with low income housing tax credit projects and another 10,000 new limited-use vouchers that could be used by public housing authorities with a 97% voucher utilization rate. While the VA-HUD subcommittee believes the $13.275 billion approved for the Housing Certificate Fund is sufficient to renew all expiring Section 8 rental assistance contracts and protect all current tenants, the Administration is concerned that this may not be the case. Some HUD programs would receive less funding than last year: the public housing capital fund, HOPE VI, Community Development Block Grants and the HOME programs. Programs for the homeless, the elderly, and the disabled would receive the same level of funding as in FY2000. The Senate Appropriations Committee has not yet approved a HUD budget. In addition to deliberations over the HUD budget, other agenda items during the second session of the 106th Congress include bills to increase the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (H.R. 175/S. 1017) and private activity bonds (H.R. 864, S. 459). On July 25, 2000, a community renewal bill supported by both the Speaker of the House and the President, H.R. 4923, passed the House. This bill would phase-in an increase in both the housing tax credit and the private activity bond program. H.R. 1776, a bill containing homeownership initiatives, was passed by the House on April 6 by a vote of 417 to 8. Other bills with hearings or committee votes include H.R. 21, which would reinsure state disaster insurance programs, and H.R. 1073, which would consolidate McKinney Act homeless housing programs into a block grant to states. Bills have been introduced to address concerns over ''predatory lending'' to lower income homebuyers, including fraudulent appraisals, exorbitant loan fees and other onerous mortgage terms. These include H.R. 3901, H.R. 4213, H.R. 4250, S. 2405 and S. 2415. There are also recent bills proposing alternative uses for an estimated $5 billion of ''excess'' Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance program reserves. H.R. 4795 and S. 2914 would require HUD to make partial rebates of FHA excess reserves to certain FHA-insured homeowners. On July 27, 2000, S. 2997 was introduced to establish a national affordable housing trust fund financed by excess incomes (reserves) generated by the FHA mortgage insurance program and by HUD's Government National Mortgage Association.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1959, the Supreme Court ushered in a new era of Indian law, which recognizes Indian tribes as permanent governments within the federal constitutional system and, on the whole, honors old promises to the Indians. Drawing together historical sources such as the records of treaty negotiations with the Indians, classic political theory on the nature of sovereignty, and anthropological studies of societal change, Wilkinson evaluates the Court's work in Indian law over the past twenty five years and considers the effects of time on law.
Download or read book Fate of the Oil from the Deepwater Horizon Spill written by Colin J. Branwell and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The April 20th 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig led to the largest oil spill in U.S. waters. Federal government officials estimated that the deepwater well ultimately released over 200 million gallons of crude oil. Although decreasing amounts of oil were observed on the ocean surface following the well's containment on July 15th 2010, oil spill response officials and researchers have found oil in other places. This new book examines the fate of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill. Direct observation and measurement of the fate of the vast majority of the estimated 200 million gallons of oil presents a considerable challenge.

Download or read book Preventive Defense written by Ashton B. Carter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William J. Perry and Ashton B. Carter, two of the world's foremost defense authorities, draw on their experience as leaders of the U.S. Defense Department to propose a new American security strategy for the twenty-first century. After a century in which aggression had to be defeated in two world wars and then deterred through a prolonged cold war, the authors argue for a strategy centered on prevention. Now that the cold war is over, it is necessary to rethink the risks to U.S. security. The A list--threats to U.S. survival--is empty today. The B list--the two major regional contingencies in the Persian Gulf and on the Korean peninsula that dominate Pentagon planning and budgeting--pose imminent threats to U.S. interests but not to survival. And the C list--such headline-grabbing places as Kosovo, Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, and Haiti--includes important contingencies that indirectly affect U.S. security but do not directly threaten U.S. interests. Thus the United States is enjoying a period of unprecedented peace and influence; but foreign policy and defense leaders cannot afford to be complacent. The authors' preventive defense strategy concentrates on the dangers that, if mismanaged, have the potential to grow into true A-list threats to U.S. survival in the next century. These include Weimar Russia: failure to establish a self-respecting place for the new Russia in the post-cold war world, allowing it to descend into chaos, isolation, and aggression as Germany did after World War I; Loose Nukes: failure to reduce and secure the deadly legacy of the cold war--nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons in Russia and the rest of the former Soviet Union; A Rising China Turned Hostile: failure to shape China's rise to Asian superpower status so that it emerges as a partner rather than an adversary; Proliferation: spread of weapons of mass destruction; and Catastrophic Terrorism: increase in the scope and intensity of transnational terrorism.They also argue for
Download or read book Kumba Africa written by Sampson Ejike Odum and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.
Download or read book A World Transformed written by George H. W. Bush and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was one of the pivotal times of the twentieth century--during George Bush's presidency, an extraordinary series of international events took place that materially changed the face of the world. Now, former President Bush and his national security advisor, Brent Scowcroft, tell the story of those tumultuous years. Here are behind-the-scenes accounts of critical meetings in the White House and of summit conferences in Europe and the United States, interspersed with excerpts from Mr. Bush's diary. We are given fresh and intriguing views of world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and François Mitterrand--and witness the importance of personal relationships in diplomacy. There is the dramatic description of how President Bush put together the alliance against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War. There are the intensive diplomatic exchanges with Beijing following the events of Tiananmen Square, and the intricate negotiations leading up to German reunification. And there is the sometimes poignant, sometimes grim portrayal of Gorbachev's final years in power. A World Transformed is not simply a record of accomplishment; Bush and Scowcroft candidly recount how the major players sometimes disagreed over issues, and analyze what mistakes were made. This is a landmark book on the conduct of American foreign policy--and how that policy is crucial to the peace of the world. It is a fascinating inside look at great events that deepens our understanding of today's global issues.
