Algeria Chat

The Internet is also known as a new forum for public and private speech. This speech is carried-out via electronic mail (e-mail), chat rooms and bulletin boards. These forums are often used by potential money launderers to provide misleading and inaccurate stock and commodity market information. The idea of the money launderer is to provide penny stock or initial public offering stock information that misleads investors to interpret the electronic communication as potential (unofficial) investment advice. This information causes many investors to purchase or sell stocks by anticipating an increase or decrease in market prices. The criminals then use these market adjustments to realize millions of dollars in profits. These profits are then placed into stock transactions via the Internet with commingled lawful cash transactions. ... [Read More]

Commission Reviews Middle Eastern Perceptions of the United States

I want to just briefly bring the Commission up to date on some of the things that have happened since our last meeting; primarily things that I have done and have not had an opportunity to fill you in on. Yesterday, for instance, I was invited with Matt to meet with Congressman Adam Smith who has the new caucus, I think fairly new caucus in the Congress of 74 Democrats of the New Democratic Coalition, I think it is called. They are interested in developing foreign policy positions, and are particularly interested in public diplomacy. So, the Congressman just wanted to chat about what the Commission’s findings were over the last few months and a little bit about the Commission’s history. We want to do that, and I think we all agree it is something we want to do. We are hoping that other caucuses in the Congress that are interested in foreign affairs and taking positions on foreign affairs issues will invite us to have similar discussion. Chuck (Charles Dolan) is going to report a little ... [Read More]

The Shah then asked the Secretary's opinion regarding the prospects for disarmament. The Secretary began his reply by expressing the hope that his colleagues would not hear of his response, but frankly while there would be lots of discussion, there was one utterly fundamental point on which no agreement could be reached: inspection. Secrecy and disarmament were utterly incompatible. The Secretary continued at some length to discuss the history of the testing discussions, and the breakdown over inspection. Gromyko had noted to him that one man on an inspection team could conduct espionage of vital significance to the Soviet Union. Noting that the inspection we had proposed in connection with testing did not provide "a farthing's worth", the Secretary indicated that no progress could be made, although he foresaw that we would go ahead talking, perhaps in moderate terms. Noting that the point we had now reached was that we could inspect what had come to be known as the "bonfire," but noth ... [Read More]
