Abstract:
My reflections on the Gold Commission deal with four subjects. First, I describe the establishment of the Commission, covering both its political background and the economic views of the sponsors. Second, I give some consideration to the purpose the Commissicvn was designed to serve, as viewed by its sponsors. Both the size and composition of the Commission provide clues to be analyzed in this connection. I then consider what the sponsors gained from the Commission's recommendations and the minority report. I conclude with some speculations about the likely impact of the Commission's Report.Cite
While hearings at the Khampepe Commission received extensive media coverage, very few from the research community have written to provide insights into the drama that unfolded during proceedings at the commission. This paper is therefore intended to fill this void. However, it does not purport to provide a legal analysis of arguments presented during the commission, but seeks only to offer a general overview of what was at stake during the proceedings. The overall aim is to ensure that, before President Mbeki makes a pronouncement on the questions the commission dealt with, members of the public know how the proceedings unfolded.

Abstract : This report presents a revised version of a briefing given in October 1983 to the National Bipartisan Commission on Central America, chaired by Dr. Henry Kissinger. The revisions consist primarily of background material that the authors had assembled but were not able to provide in the actual briefing. The views expressed here are based largely on findings from earlier Rand research, but they also reflect the authors' collective judgments about why and how the United States should be interested in Central America. The report, like the briefing, is intended for a broad public audience. Central America is a fast-moving subject. Even before the publication of this report, the Kissinger Commission had issued its report, and the Reagan Administration had submitted the Central America Democracy, Peace, and Development Initiative Act of 1984 (also known as the Jackson Plan) to Congress. The present report has not been updated to reflect these or other recent developments. Its purpose is to document the information that the authors provided to the Commission. Contents: The New Policy Environment; U.S. Interests in Central America; Security Trends and Potential Threats; The Challenge of Nicaragua; General Implications for U.S. Policy.

witnessed by about 20 members of the administration, including cabinet secretaries and White House and agency officials. Later that day the Commission delivered its report to Senators Earnest Hollings and Ted Stevens, the leading proponents for ocean policy reform in the U.S. Senate. These actions culminated a three-year comprehensive study into virtually all aspects of U.S. ocean policy. In the view of Commissioners, commission staff and advisors, and all the people who participated in and followed the Commission’s work, this was a very important moment. Thirty-five years had passed since the Stratton Commission issued its influential report in 1969 2 and now the U.S. had a new “blueprint” for its ocean affairs for the next decades. 3 The purpose of this article is to begin to describe the history of the Commission’s work. The assumption is that the Commission’s report will influence measurably how the U.S. approaches its ocean and coastal resources, and for this reason it is important to document the Commission and its work. The Commission went out of business officially on December 19, 2004, and the work of implementation passed to others. Part IV of this article shows how federal and state actions have already begun in response to the recommendations of the report. There are many dimensions to this story ‐ historical, legislative, and political. Prior to the initiation of the Commission’s work there was a considerable literature outlining ocean and coastal

I have been asked to comment briefly on the work of the Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland. This paper complements and overlaps with two other pieces I have recently written on the work of the Commission.
