Missoulian: BP suspended from new US gov't contracts
“For the Deepwater Horizon investigation, EPA was designated
as the lead agency for suspension and debarment actions. Federal executive
branch agencies take these actions to ensure the integrity of Federal programs
by conducting business only with responsible individuals or companies.
Suspensions are a standard practice when a responsibility question is raised by
action in a criminal case.”
Missoulian: Senate takes up UN disability treaty
“ As you may know, tomorrow the Senate will vote on the
Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, CRPD. Unfortunately, I
am currently at Walter Reed and so cannot call you personally, but wanted to
connect with you via e-mail on this time sensitive matter and ask for your
help. I hope you will support this important treaty.
The CRPD is the
first international treaty to address disability rights globally. It is an
opportunity to advance the great American tradition of supporting the rights
and inclusion of people with disabilities on a global basis. Ratification of
the CRPD will improve fiscal, technological, and communication access outside
the United States, thereby helping to ensure that Americans--particularly many
thousands of disabled American veterans--have equal opportunities to live,
work, and travel abroad. It will also create a new global market for
accessibility goods.”- Bob Dole
