extremists: Mr. Daniel Pearl. But we
also hold this event to support and promote values shared across the globe:
tolerance, love, and freedom of expression and press.” (From AIT)

“So, greater prosperity and greater
security — that’s what American and Chinese cooperation can deliver. That’s why
I want to say again, the United States welcomes the rise of a China that is
peaceful, stable, prosperous, and a responsible player in global affairs. And
I’m committed to expanding our cooperation, even as we address disagreements
candidly and constructively.” (From Share America)

Could China's
Economic Troubles Spark a War?
National Interest,
September 6, 2015, 2 pages.
“The focus on the possible wider
economic consequences of a severe Chinese economic slowdown is understandable,
since the ramifications could be extremely unpleasant for the U.S. and global
economies. But we should also be vigilant about how such economic stress might
affect Beijing’s diplomatic and military behavior. It is not unprecedented for
a government that feels besieged to attempt to distract a discontented public
by fomenting a foreign policy crisis.” (From The National Interest)

Iraqi Stability
and the “ISIS War.”
Center for
Strategic and International Studies, August 12, 2015, 18 pages.
“The war against ISIS is a critical U.S.
national security interest. It not only threatens to create a major center of
terrorism and extremism in a critical part of the Middle East, and one that
could spread to threaten the flow of energy exports and the global economy, but
become a major center of international terrorism. It is important to
understand, however, that ISIS is only one cause of instability in the region,
and only one of the threats caused by spreading sectarian and ethnic violence." (From the CSIS)

Inflation Dynamics
and Monetary Policy.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, September 24, 2015,
11 pages.
“I will discuss inflation and its role
in the Federal Reserve's conduct of monetary policy. I will begin by reviewing
the history of inflation in the United States since the 1960s, highlighting two
key points: that inflation is now much more stable than it used to be, and that
it is currently running at a very low level. I will then consider the costs
associated with inflation, and why these costs suggest that the Federal Reserve
should try to keep inflation close to 2 percent.” ( From the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System)

“Restoring America's Strength: My Vision for
U.S. Foreign Policy.”
Foreign Affairs, September/October 2015, pp.108-116.
“The first and most important pillar of my foreign policy
will be a renewal of American strength. This is an idea based on a simple
truth: the world is at its safest when America is at its strongest. When
America’s armed forces and intelligence professionals, aided by our civilian
diplomatic and foreign assistance programs, are able to send a forceful message
without firing a shot, the result is more peace, not more conflict. Yet when
the United States fails to build or display such strength, it weakens our
global hand by casting doubt on our ability and willingness to act.” (From
Foreign Affairs)

Americans’
Concerns about China: Economics, Cyberattacks, Human Rights Top the List.
Pew
Research Center, September 9, 2015, 4 pages.
“But it’s not just economic issues that trouble
Americans. They are also worried about cyberattacks, Beijing’s human rights
record, China’s impact on the environment and its growing military strength. On
many of these issues, there is a sharp partisan divide, with Republicans
expressing stronger concerns than either Democrats or independents.” (From Pew
Research Center)

Migrant Crisis isn’t Just
Europe’s Problem; it’s our Problem, too.

International Peace, September 1, 2015, 3 pages.
“Europe’s
illegal immigration problems are daily growing more serious, evidenced by the
human tragedies of North Africans and Middle Easterners dying at sea or in

"Energy Policy in the Age of Wishful
Thinking"
Vital Speeches of the Day, September 2015, pp. 262-264.
“I have the solution to our energy and environment problems.
The solution is W T. As you know, everything in this business sounds better as
an acronym. W T is Wishful Thinking. We are in the midst of an energy
revolution. It’s not the revolution we were expecting: solar and wind have
advanced in the laboratory and the field but are still small players.
Cellulosic ethanol is still a dream. Tinkering with photosynthesis to make it
work better is in the same category. The revolution that is in full swing is
fracking, and we should look at this carefully and draw several lessons from
it.” (From Vital Speeches of the Day)

zero-emission houses. Using today’s technology, these houses represent the
