Extractions: To provide data on Federal government expenditures by state, county, and subcounty area. The United States Code, Titles 13 and 31, and a 1981 designation by the Office of Management and Budget, authorize this program and provide for mandatory responses. Other federal agencies fully fund the Census Bureau's work on this program. Nearly all Federal agencies responsible for financial transactions that can be attributed to a state or U.S. territory are covered. Agencies include departments and independent agencies, and quasi-Federal agencies such as the United States Postal Service (USPS) and Tennessee Valley Authority. Territories include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Expenditures by national security agencies, international transactions, and interest on the national debt are excluded. In fiscal year 1998, direct Federal expenditures that could be attributed to domestic areas totaled $1.5 trillion, direct Federal loans totaled $24 billion, and insurance and loan guarantees amounted to $659 billion. Data are obtained on the amount of virtually all Federal expenditures, including grants, loans, direct payments, insurance, procurement, salaries and wages, and other awards (such as price supports and research awards). Data represent actual expenditures (or outlays) with some exceptions. For example, contract amounts may represent obligations, loans and insurance can include cash and contingent liability values, and grants to individuals may reflect benefit commitments. Expenditures are reported by responsible department or agency, and classified by affected program (such as Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief grants, or Social Security Administration Black Lung payments).

Extractions: Email this page to a friend! San Juan and the University of Puerto Rico Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493, the island of Puerto Rico was ceded to the U.S. in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. A popularly-elected government has been in authority since 1948. Puerto Rico is a typical Caribbean island in many ways, with its lush tropical vegetation, hot climate and beautiful blue seas. Its Spanish Colonial atmosphere is apparent in many aspects of life, language, cuisine and architecture. At the same time it is unique in the Caribbean for its official status as a commonwealth of the U.S., which provides a political and economic infrastructure with which Americans will be familiar. Puerto Rico is one of the most dynamic economies of the Caribbean region. The island is about three times the size of Rhode Island and is located between the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean east of the Dominican Republic. The inland terrain is mountainous with sandy beaches along most coastal areas. The temperature varies slightly throughout the year with an average high of 84 degrees F and a low of 73 degrees F. There are two official languages, Spanish and English.

Extractions: Puerto Rico is situated some 1,000 miles southeast of Florida at the hub of the Caribbean chain of islands. This American commonwealth is the most easterly and smallest of the four major islands that form the Greater Antilles. The three other are Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola (the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.) Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south, Puerto Rico is flanked by a trio of smaller islands, Vieques and Culebra to the east and Mona to the west, which also are its political and geological satellites. The island of Puerto Rico measures approximately 110 miles east to the west and 35 miles north to the south. Thus, it is roughly half the size of the state of New Jersey (Puerto Rico, Borinquen Querida, Roger A. LaBrucherie, 1993). HISTORY Although the Spanish occupation was the decisive factor defining Puerto Ricos current culture, the island was settled many thousands of years ago by Amerindians. But that culture had disappeared by about AD 600, bringing to an end the islands historic era of pottery making. Ethnologists opinions differ as to whether the tribes were eradicated by new invasions from South America, or succumbed to starvation or plague, or simply evolved into the next culture that dominated Puerto Rico - the Ostinoids.

Extractions: The CFC disinvestment proposal would reduce corporate income tax rates 80 percent in the case of money that companies take out of their CFCs and reinvest in the States during a single six-month period chosen by each company. Establishing a CFC enables a company based in the States to delay federal income taxation of earnings outside the States until the funds are repatriated to the States. Multinational companies based in the States can keep the earnings out of the States and untaxed on a permanent basis. The "Incentives to Reinvest Foreign Earnings in [the] United States" would only apply to earnings now permanently invested outside the States and repatriations in excess of a company’s average repatriation level. The report also states that tax rates would return to their normal levels after the six months period. In fact, Resident Commissioner Anibal Acevedo Vila ("commonwealth"/D) asked to have CFCs in Puerto Rico included when the Senate Finance Committee considered a proposal similar to Thomas’ in May. The Committee then voted 12-6 to do so. Acevedo saw the measure as a step towards the proposal of Governor Sila Calderon ("commonwealth/no national party) and some major companies based in the States with CFCs in Puerto Rico to permanently cut federal income taxes on CFC profits repatriated from U.S. territories 85-100 percent.

Extractions: The Legacy of Criminal Libel in the U.S. After Sullivan Garrison Seventeen states and two American territories still have statutes allowing for the prosecution of criminal libel, according to a study released today by the Media Law Resource Center (MLRC). MLRCs Bulletin 2003: 1 "Criminalizing Speech About Reputation: The Legacy of Criminal Libel in the U.S. After Sullivan & Garrison," shows that while criminal defamation prosecutions are rare 77 such prosecutions threatened since late 1964 the cases that are brought are highly selective and used most often as a political weapon. The overwhelming majority of prosecutions more than 65 percent involve speech about public officials, public figures or matters of public interest. Law enforcement officers and elected public officials are the most frequent complainants in these prosecutions. MLRCs study was spurred by the 2002 criminal libel conviction of an alternative political newspaper

Extractions: Smithsonian Institution This roundtable discussion proposes to take up the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Rice v. Cayetano On behalf of the Respondent, Hawai`i's Governor Benjamin Cayetano, the state argued that the OHA's limitation on the right to vote was not based upon race but the unique status of Hawaiian people and that the classification met rational basis review under Morton v. Mancari because the state and federal government have a "special relationship"-trust and obligation-to "native Hawaiians" that is analogous to the federal government's relationship with American Indian tribes. Hence, the limitation on the right to vote for the OHA trustees is based on a legal classification determined by those who constitute the beneficiaries of the trust managed by that Office. However, the state obligations to Hawai`i's indigenous people were not sufficient to convince the Supreme Court of the unique political situation of Hawaiian people that justified the exclusive OHA elections process.
