Title continues; One Hundred Sixth Congress First Session July 22 1999. Serial No. 106-126. From Wikipedia: "Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome HIV/AIDS is a disease of the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus HIV. During the initial infection a person may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is typically followed by a prolonged period without symptoms. As the illness progresses it interferes more and more with the immune system making people much more likely to get infections including opportunistic infections and tumors that do not usually affect people with working immune systems. HIV is transmitted primarily via unprotected sexual intercourse including anal and even oral sex contaminated blood transfusions and hypodermic needles and from mother to child during pregnancy delivery or breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids such as saliva and tears do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease. There is no cure or vaccine; however antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of death and complications from the disease these medications are expensive and may be associated with side effects. Genetic research indicates that HIV originated in west-central Africa during the early twentieth century. AIDS was first recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC in 1981 and its cause HIV infection was identified in the early part of the decade. Since its discovery AIDS has caused nearly 30 million deaths as of 2009. As of 2010 approximately 34 million people have contracted HIV globally. AIDS is considered a pandemic a disease outbreak which is present over a large area and is actively spreading. HIV/AIDS has had a great impact on society both as an illness and as a source of discrimination. The disease also has significant economic impacts. There are many misconceptions about HIV/AIDS such as the belief that it can be transmitted by casual non-sexual contact. The disease has also become subject to many controversies involving religion."

Slight wear and soiling to covers. Serial No. 109-167 Drowning in a Sea of Faux Secrets: Policies on Handling of Classified and Sensitive Information is a March 14 2006 congressional hearing by the House Subcommittee on National Security Emerging Threats and International Relations. It investigated how excessive secrecy and "fake" secrets hinder national security arguing for a shift from "need to know" to "need to share". The hearing examined how over-classification and the proliferation of "sensitive but unclassified" labels created a "sea of faux secrets" that obscured critical information. While excessive secrecy was considered useful during the Cold War it was seen as harmful in the context of modern terrorism as it hides information that if linked could stop attacks. The hearing addressed reports of a secret program to reclassify previously declassified documents. The hearing was chaired by Rep. Christopher Shays focusing on government reform and oversight of national security policies. Government Printing Office paperback

2003rif. 91222Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 2003. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 83 1 pages. Illustrations. This item includes the statements of Gregory Kutz Alan Lamoreaux Patrick McNamee and Paul Pastorek. This year the status of two agencies deteriorated. One of these agencies is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For the last 5 consecutive years NASA had received unqualified or clean audit opinions on its financial statements. Similarly for the last 5 consecutive years NASA received a grade of A on the subcommittee's score card on Federal financial management. For fiscal year 2001 however NASA was unable to provide timely documentation to substantiate the accuracy and classification of its obligations expenses property plant and equipment and materials. These problems were so severe that NASA's new auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers was unable to provide an opinion on whether the amounts on the fiscal year 2001 financial statements were reasonable. The auditors also found that the agency had significant material weaknesses in its system of internal controls. For the first time since fiscal year 1997 auditors reported that NASA's systems were not in compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996. The GAO the General Accounting Office had questioned NASA's compliance with the act in two reports last year. In addition the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide detailed support for amounts obligated against the space station or the shuttle. In another report the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide support for amounts on its fiscal year 1999 statement of budgetary resources. In this same report the General Accounting Office questioned NASA's previous auditor Arthur Andersen's support for an unqualified opinion on this statement. The status of NASA's financial management has been consistently questioned by the General Accounting Office and others yet Arthur Andersen continued for years to give NASA a clean bill of health. Is NASA a Government Enron Did the Agency's financial management problems begin in fiscal year 2001 or were they always present In this hearing we will focus on what went wrong at NASA for fiscal year 2001 and what actions are being taken to resolve the financial management issues.

In-8, broché, couverture papier ocre, 151 p. Édition originale. L'archevêque de Besançon réfute l'essai de Beaufort, qui eut un très important retentissement: ce dernier émît le projet de réunir toutes les communions chrétiennes pour parvenir à une religion nationale, "qui seule peut produire des vertus et des moeurs nationales", en excluant de prendre l'Église catholique pour centre de ralliement. Bon exemplaire.
