Would be subject to minimal regulatory requirements where as a larger aircraft over Populated Areas where require highly reliable avionics, additional training, and felt they mechanisms like a parachute. Even the types of risks models used to allow commercial operations in europe today including france and. I am please the faas stated its intention to f switch to this test model. The critical question is how quickly can it be implemented . Finally i would like to discuss the effect of delayed regulation on u. S. Businesses. France allows low risk commercial application that has canada, united kingdom, australia and many other countries. The United States typically a leader in aviation is one of only a few countries that prohibits commercial operations. Small and Large Businesses are moving casting and operations abroad. More regulations are more advanced. Delayed and overly restrictive regulations are not just slowing growth of the industry. The Largest Industries and corporations in a
Concept of the militia is that it is everybody or virtually everybody in the body politic. One of the more recent discussions of the militia concept i found in the d. C. Heller case, an individual Second Amendment case, however there was some dicta in there discussing the militia in its collective sense, and in there, the Supreme Court stated that unlike armies and navies, the militia is assumed by article 1 to already be in existence. Although the militia consists of all able bodied men the federal organized militia may consist of a subset of them, so there is a distinction between organized militia and unorganized militia, and the type of militia im going to discuss today is the organized militia, which is the National Guard. And this particular distinction between organized and unorganized militia is carried through into each state. Under state law, for example in maryland, where im a judge advocate in maryland as well, in the Maryland National guard, you can see that the state code
The Intelligence Community to try to increase the amount of transparency about what that community does but thats running against the culture of that community and its a challenge because there are legitimate security reasons you dont blab about what you do but i do think that the lessons the last two years are that to the extent to a much greater extent than in the past the Intelligence Community would benefit from Greater Transparency about what its doing and why. Which is easy to say and hard to do. Do any of our panelists have any comments on the usa freedom act pending in congress and the differences between the house and the Senate Version of the bill, one of our questions related to the provision thats not in the house bill but in the senate bill regarding the special advocate for to be present before the fisa court. There was a provision in the house bill thats somewhat different than the senate bill. So i mean the house bill also had its not exactly special advocate. What it i
To be our last question. Hi. Hows the reseptember economic struggles impacted how states align with federal support and ability of the federal government toates align with fe support and ability of the federal government to give support . So here is the bottom line. There is a lot of downward pressure economically at all levels of government. And so, states and their political subdivisions, we have seen an increase in request for federal assistance, both inside and outside of the disaster declarations, to help offset the impact on budgets. Ill give you a great example. When it snows, there is a need to do removal of snow and ice from the roads. One would expect that most states and local governments would plan and budget for that. As a policy matter we generally dont provide assistance for road treatment unless there is a record or near record know fall. That policy is meeting resistance because record or near record snow falls, governments are struggling to meet their snow removal bud
For example, if we have a Truck Company that needs training on how to drive trucks, it is it makes more sense if theyre driving trucks that they can also, for example, haul goods and water or whatever to benefit perhaps a relief effort than to just take their empty trucks and drive around in circles on a military base and benefit nobody but themselves, so, a lot of assistance is provided as an incident to training or operations. And the distinction there is that it has to be a training operation. The primary purpose is training and the incidental purpose is the assistance. Even though to the recipients of that assistance that may be everything in the world to them. But, again, for lawyers, you know, you have to carefully make sure that its captioned in the right terms because otherwise you run into fiscal issues when youre using training money for nontraining purposes and finally have state active duty. And thats per state law. And state law is a little different. Normally speaking the
