2006Best.-Nr. 84998Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good/No dust jacket issued. iii 1 118 4 pages. Robert Jones Portman born December 19 1955 is an American attorney and politician serving as the junior United States senator from Ohio since 2011. A member of the Republican Party Portman was the 35th director of the Office of Management and Budget OMB from 2006 to 2007 the 14th United States trade representative from 2005 to 2006 and a U.S. representative from 1993 to 2005 representing Ohio's 2nd district. In 1993 Portman won a special election to represent Ohio's 2nd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He was reelected six times before resigning upon his appointment by President George W. Bush as the U.S. trade representative in May 2005. As trade representative Portman initiated trade agreements with other countries and pursued claims at the World Trade Organization. In May 2006 Bush appointed Portman the director of the Office of Management and Budget. In 2010 Portman announced his candidacy for the United States Senate seat being vacated by George Voinovich. He easily defeated then-Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher and was reelected in 2016. On January 25 2021 he announced that he would not seek a third term in 2022. On April 18 2006 Bush nominated Portman for Director of the Office of Management and Budget replacing Joshua Bolten who was appointed White House Chief of Staff. Portman said that he looked forward to the responsibility adding "It's a big job. The Office of Management and Budget touches every spending and policy decision in the federal government". Bush expressed his confidence in Portman saying "The job of OMB director is a really important post and Rob Portman is the right man to take it on. Rob's talent expertise and record of success are well known within my administration and on Capitol Hill." The U.S. Senate confirmed him unanimously by voice vote on May 26 2006. As OMB director from May 2006 to August 2007 Portman helped craft a $2.9 trillion budget for fiscal year 2008. The Cincinnati Enquirer wrote "The plan called for making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent at a cost of more than $500 billion over the five-year life of the proposal. It requested a hefty increase in military spending along with reductions in low-income housing assistance environmental initiatives and health care safety-net programs." Portman is said to have been "frustrated" with the post calling the budget that Bush's office sent to Congress "not my budget his budget" and saying "it was a fight internally." Edward Lazear of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers said that Portman was the leading advocate for a balanced budget while other former Bush administration officials said that Portman was the leading advocate for fiscal discipline within the administration. On June 19 2007 Portman resigned as OMB director citing a desire to spend more time with his family and three children. Democratic Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee Kent Conrad expressed regret at Portman's resignation saying "He is a person of credibility and decency that commanded respect on both sides of the aisle."

Has some wear and soiling Some pages have small creases or wrinkles. iv 262 p. Part 1 ONLY. From Wikipedia: "Henry Alfred Kissinger born Heinz Alfred Kissinger; May 27 1923 is an American diplomat and political scientist. A recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize he served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. After his term his opinion was still sought by some subsequent U.S. presidents and other world leaders. A proponent of Realpolitik Kissinger played a prominent role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union orchestrated the opening of relations with the People's Republic of China and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. Kissinger is still considered an influential public figure. He is the founder and chairman of Kissinger Associates an international consulting firm. To others Kissinger's actions while in office 'yielded much that was little short of evil'. He has been accused of 'war crimes crimes against humanity and offences against common or customary or international law'.At the height of Kissinger's prominence many commented on his wit. In one instance at the Washington Press Club annual congressional dinner "Kissinger mocked his reputation as a secret swinger." He was quoted as saying "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." Kissinger has shied away from mainstream media and cable talk shows. He granted a rare interview to the producers of a documentary examining the underpinnings of the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt entitled Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace. In the film a candid Kissinger reveals how close he felt the world was to nuclear war during the 1973 Yom Kippur War launched by Egypt and Syria against Israel. A feature length documentary titled Kissinger by Scottish historian Niall Ferguson and produced by Chimerica Media was released in 2011 on the National Geographic Channel. Since he left office some efforts have been made to hold Kissinger responsible for perceived injustices of American foreign policy during his tenure in government. These charges have at times inconvenienced his travels. Christopher Hitchens the late British-American journalist and author was highly critical of Kissinger authoring The Trial of Henry Kissinger in which Hitchens called for the prosecution of Kissinger "for war crimes for crimes against humanity and for offenses against common or customary or international law including conspiracy to commit murder kidnap and torture"."
