The Vital Role of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the New Administration
No full textThe director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) plays a central role in advising the president on the impact of science and technology on domestic and global affairs, and on federal funding of scientific research. This paper provides recommendations for the next president to consider when choosing a science advisor and establishing science and technology policy priorities. The project also offers guidance to the next science advisor for developing effective policy while serving in the White House. The recommendations are based on lessons learned from past presidential science advisors as well as feedback from more than 60 reviewers, including individuals who currently serve or have served the OSTP, the Presidentﾒs Council of Advisors for Science and Technology, federal agencies, Congress or congressional staff, and nongovernmental organizations as well as policy scholars. The project, released on Sept. 14, 2016, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., was funded by a grant from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation and by the Baker Institute Science and Technology Policy Program

An aggressive vascular-inhabiting <i>Phoma</i> (<i>Phoma tracheiphila</i> f. sp. <i>chrysanthemi</i> nov. f. sp.) weakly pathogenic to chrysanthemum
No full text A form of Phoma tracheiphila (Petri) Kant. & Gik., newly designated as f. sp. chrysanthemi Baker et al., massively invades the phloem and xylem and to a lesser extent the cortex and pith of chrysanthemum plants but causes only slight injury in the first season. However, infected plants either produce weak shoots the following year or commonly fail to resume growth. Injury appears to result from depletion of photosynthates and nutrients rather than from vascular plugging or toxins. Infection occurs through intact roots or through wounds of roots or stems, and the pathogen spreads to the top of 120-cm stems in 3 months. Infection occurs readily from 10–29.4 but most abundantly at 10–21° C. Mycelial development in the stems is retarded at 10 and is optimal at 21° C. This Phoma decline disease was prevalent in commercial and home chrysanthemum plantings in California in 1948–1956, but it has since been controlled by the annual planting of healthy cuttings in fumigated soil, as practiced for control of verticillium wilt. In home gardens the disease may cause severe losses if plants are grown as perennials, but if healthy cuttings are planted annually, the disease will be minimal even in plants grown in infested soil. The pathogen is indistinguishable morphologically from Phoma tracheiphila f. sp. tracheiphila Baker et al., cause of "mal secco" of citrus, but will not infect sour orange or rough lemon plants. </jats:p
Book Review: Boots and Suits: Historical Cases and Contemporary Lessons in Military Diplomacy
No full textAuthor: Philip S. Kosnett (editor)
Reviewed by Kenneth Weisbrode, assistant professor of history, Bilkent University
Historian and professor Kenneth Weisbrode reviews retired US ambassador Philip S. Kosnett’s anthology on “just how contested, and how significant,” military diplomacy is. After highlighting the value of General Kenneth F. McKenzie’s (US Marine Corps, retired) instructive foreword, which defines military diplomacy, Weisbrode outlines the book’s range of case studies across history (from the Confederacy to Afghanistan), author perspectives (“academics and government officials”), and subject matter (“strategy, operations, and tactics”). He distills some of the book’s essential policy lessons for readers and notes the book’s wide-ranging utility for “teachers, students, and aspiring (or even veteran) military diplomats.”https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1036/thumbnail.jp

The institutionalization of treasury note and bond auctions, 1970-75
No full textThe substitution of auctions for fixed-price offerings was expected to lower the U.S. Treasury's cost of financing the federal debt. Despite this and other potential benefits, the Treasury failed in both 1935 and 1963 in its attempts to introduce regular auction sales of coupon-bearing securities. This article examines the Treasury's third and successful attempt between 1970 and 1975. The author identifies three likely reasons why the Treasury succeeded in the early 1970s: it closely imitated its successful and well-understood bill auction process, it extended the maturity of auction offerings gradually, and it was willing to modify the auction process when shortcomings became apparent.Auctions ; Treasury notes ; Treasury bonds ; Debts, Public
