Remarks at the U.S.-Russia "Civil Society to Civil Society" Summit

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Renaissance Marriott Hotel

Washington, DC

June 24, 2010

SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I want to thank you and everyone who has really seen this vision and is working to realize it. I love the whiteboards on both ends with what looks to be a very comprehensive and complex agenda. And I am very pleased to be here to thank you and to celebrate the work that you and colleagues do every single day to create and sustain strong civil societies in Russia and the United States.

We also had a very important summit today between Presidents Medvedev and Obama. Mike McFaul from the National Security Council is here. And Mike, as you know, is a very longtime supporter of a vibrant civil society in Russia. And, as President Obama said when he met with many of you in Moscow last summer, we recognize the critical nature of civil society to a vibrant democracy, and we want to create those relationships between our two countries and between civil society in each country that can assist in answering questions and solving problems.

Some quick examples that I just saw with the exhibits here this afternoon ?we need creative, committed, courageous organizations like you and yours to find innovative solutions, to expose corruption, to give voice to the voiceless, to hold governments accountable to their citizens, to keep people informed and engaged on the issues that matter most to them.

As part of the Bilateral Presidential Commission that the two presidents established that Foreign Minister Lavrov and I are coordinating, we launched a Working Group on Civil Society. And I was privileged to meet with civil society leaders. I don’t know if anybody ?was anybody here at the meeting that I had at Spaso House last ?yeah, yeah, good ?last October? And I was extraordinarily impressed and moved by the stories and the level of commitment and connection.

And we want to keep building on these relationships. We want to share best practices. We want to find new avenues for collaboration. We want to disseminate new technologies. We want to expand ...

My Friend,

Only thirty five days from today, the voters of Arizona will start voting to determine their nominees for the U.S. Senate. I am proud of my service to the people of Arizona and to our country. With your continued support I will be able to continue fighting for the conservative principles you and I share.

I face a competitive primary election against former Congressman JD Hayworth who earned a reputation as a pork barrel spender by voting for absurd projects like the $233 million "Bridge to Nowhere" and pitching hundreds of billions of dollars in accessible money from the government during a late-night TV infomercial. (And as you know, the money Hayworth was referring to was your hard earned tax dollars!) I am confident this is not the representation you expect or want from members of the US Senate.

However, before our primary takes place, we face our next federal fundraising deadline on June 30th. Our campaign is focused on reporting strong fundraising numbers and any amount you ...

Carson City - Governor Jim Gibbons announced the reappointment of George Ogilvie III to the Colorado River Commission. Ogilvie was first appointed to the Commission in 2007. Ogilvie is a native Nevadan and is managing partner of the Las Vegas office of the law firm McDonald Carano Wilson.

Rory Reid: Supporting Strong Schools for a Stronger Economy

From: Nevada State Democratic Party [news@nvdems.com]Add to Contacts
To: Tony Lei [tojulei@yahoo.com]

Tony,

Gubernatorial candidate Rory Reid released his first television ad this week. The ad can be viewed at Rory2010.com. Titled "Smart Kids," the 30-second spot focuses on education as the key to transforming Nevada's economy.

"Smart Kids" features several Nevada students talking about the most important qualities to consider when choosing our next governor.

Rory knows that bringing fundamental change to our education system is essential to building a new economy in Nevada. We need to attract dynamic new businesses to our state - but they won't come if we do not have quality schools for children and the ability to educate the workforce needed for 21st Century jobs.

Released in March, Rory's budget-neutral EDGE plan cuts bureaucracy in Carson City and at the district level, moving resources directly into Nevada classrooms.

Rory's opponent Brian Sandoval's agenda for education continues Jim Gibbons' legacy of devastating, economy-killing cuts. Brian Sandoval does not understand the crucial link between education and economy - that we will never have a first-rate economy if we continue to accept second-rate schools.

Among the proposals in Brian Sandoval's pink slip agenda for education:

Brian Sandoval wants to slash teacher salaries by 20 percent or lay off more than 5,000 teachers. That's 1-in-5 Nevada teachers. (link: http://rory2010.com/en/vision/sandoval-teacher-cuts)
Brian Sandoval wants to divert $110 million from class-size reduction programs, particularly targeting 7- and 8-year-olds.
Brian Sandoval pushes a voucher program that would drain millions from our public schools and wouldn't even begin to cover tuition for the average private school.
Brian Sandoval wants a 12 percent cut to faculty and staff at our colleges and universities - that's more than 750 professor and staff jobs lost.

Rory Reid is the only candidate for governor to offer solutions for today and a plan for Nevada's future success - supporting strong schools for a stronger economy. For more information about Rory's campaign or to download his plans -- visit Rory2010.com.

Dear Fellow Nevadan,

One year ago, Congress passed, and President Obama signed into law, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. This law is making it harder for tobacco companies to target children, will make it easier for those who smoke to overcome their addictions, and will make tobacco products less toxic for those who cannot or do not want to stop smoking.

Prior to the enactment of the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act, tobacco products went unregulated, even though they are the leading preventable cause of death in Nevada and across our nation. One of the first actions taken as a result of the law was that candy and fruit-flavored cigarettes intended to attract and addict children to nicotine were banned. I am pleased that many tough new restrictions on tobacco marketing and sales to children that are required in the new law will now take effect. For example, the new rules will: ban tobacco sponsorships of sports and entertainment events; ban free tobacco samples and giveaways of non-tobacco items with the purchase of tobacco; prohibit the sale of cigarettes in packs of less than twenty to appeal to kids; require stores to place tobacco products behind the counter, and establish a nationwide prohibition on tobacco sales to children under 18 years of age.

A number of other important provisions will also take effect, including a ban on misleading cigarette descriptions such as ~{!0~}light~{!1~} and ~{!0~}low-tar.~{!1~} All smokeless tobacco products will be required to carry a larger warning label, and packs of cigarettes will soon be required to have large, graphic health warnings that cover the top half of both sides of the package.

These reforms are critical for Nevada, where smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. Every day, it is estimated that 2,500 children in Nevada become regular smokers and that 22,400 of our high school students are smokers. These numbers take a tremendous toll on our state. Thirty-three hundred adults in Nevada die from their own smoking each year, and an additional 440 adults die each year from exposure to secondhand smoke. During these difficult financial times, smoking creates an avoidable financial burden for our State. Smoking results in $565 million annually in health care costs and results in over $900 million in productivity losses in Nevada. The Family Smoking and Prevention Act will help to reverse these trends, save lives and strengthen Nevada~{!/~}s future.

For more information on my work in the Senate, I encourage you to visit my webpage, reid.senate.gov, or sign up for my general e-mail newsletter, The Reid Report.

HARRY REID

Singapore's strategic move into the world of casino gaming was never intended to make Singapore into a casino destination, but rather, to protect and enhance the country's strategic tourism position in greater Asia. We expect that Singapore will finish off 2010 with approximately 11 million tourist visits, which constitutes significant growth over previous years. There is no doubt in our minds that the new integrated casino resorts will achieve great strides in Singapore achieving its tourism visitation goals.

The casino gaming industry is highly and ethically regulated in Singapore (following the page from Nevada's playbook) and we strongly advocate that Singapore maintains its strict regulatory approach to this industry. In fact, the stronger regulatory and ethical framework that Singapore maintains for this new industry, the more likely both RWS and MBS will be able to attract a new kind of customer in Asia. These new customers will seek a transparent, safe, honest, and reliable destination to engage in casino entertainment, and Singapore now provides that. ---Galaviz & Company [info@galaviz.com]

GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES EFFORT TO HELP HOMEOWNERS

Carson City – Governor Jim Gibbons is pleased to announce that the United States Treasury has completed its Participation Agreement with the State’s Nevada Affordable Housing Assistance Corporation (NAHAC). He also applauded the timely efforts of the Nevada Housing Division in assisting with NAHAC’s application.

Nevada continues battling both high unemployment and high foreclosure rates. Under the Participation Agreement, the NAHAC will bring more than $102-million into Nevada to assist homeowners facing foreclosures or experiencing trouble shoring up their mortgage situation. “I am proud of our Nevada Housing Division for providing guidance to the NAHAC in preparing its Business Plan for U.S. Treasury’s review and ultimate acceptance,” Governor Gibbons said, “Nevadans need these funds. We will make sure funds are distributed to qualified applicants as quickly as possible”.

The Governor noted that no direct funding from the U.S. Treasury program will flow through the State Housing Division. All funding for the program will flow through the non-profit NAHAC. The NAHAC business plan included three primary programs that the U.S. Treasury has signed off on for Nevada. Those programs consist of: (1) principal reduction for first mortgages to help qualified borrowers stay in homes; (2) second mortgage relief to assist qualified borrowers whose second lien is interfering with a first mortgage loan modification; and (3) short-sale acceleration to assist homeowners who can no longer reasonably expect to sustain ownership of their homes due to extended layoff periods or lack of meaningful near-term job prospects.

“While we applaud the U.S. Treasury’s initiative to help bring elements of its Hardest Hit Funding program to Nevada and we certainly welcome the $102 million, no one should expect that this amount of federal funding will resolve the mortgage crisis Nevada faces now and into the immediate future,” Governor Gibbons said. Testimony at public hearings indicated, for example, that the underwater problem (mortgages in excess of current home values) in Clark County alone stood at over $44 billion as of March, 2010.

Governor Gibbons is encouraging all banking institutions and loan servicing organizations holding Nevada home mortgages to quickly sign up with the NAHAC principal and second lien relief programs. The success of these programs will depend upon the banking industry stepping up and participating in these new programs to help stabilize our housing industry.

Governor Gibbons further challenged the NAHAC to “beat the deadline for readiness and begin processing qualified applicants prior to mid-August. Nevadan’s need relief now and any delays must be minimized.”
