COVINGTON The Honorable Richard Burr The Honorable Mark R. Warner May 22, 2017 Page 4 The court contrasted the concept of “reasonable particularity” with mere general knowledge of an event or topic, finding that mere “prior knowledge [of a topic] . . . cannot suffice to establish [the government’s] prior knowledge of the existence and location of the documents relating or referring to those topics.” Id. at 326. Ultimately, the court held that “[bJecause the government has failed to show with reasonable particularity that it knew of the existence and location of most of the subpoenaed documents . . . Ponds’ act of production was sufficiently testimonial to implicate his right against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” Id. at 316. B. Because the Committee’s subpoena fails to demonstrate with reasonable particularity prior knowledge of the requested documents, General Flynn’s act of production would be testimonial in nature. The great breadth of the Committee’s subpoena to General Flynn suggests that his act of producing the requested documents, if they even exist, would be testimonial in nature, given that the Committee has not demonstrated knowledge of the “existence, possession, and authenticity of the subpoenaed documents with reasonable particularity such that the communication inherent in the act of production can be considered a foregone conclusion.” Id. at 324. Schedule A of the subpoena requests production of: 1. A list of all meetings between you and any Russian official or representative of Russian business interests which took place between June 16, 2015, and 12pm on January 20, 2017. For each meeting listed, please include the date, location, all individuals present, and complete copies of any notes taken by you or on your behalf. 2. All communications records, including electronic communications records such as e-mail or text messages, written correspondence, and phone records, of communications that took place between June 16, 2015, and 12pm on January 20 2017, to which you and any Russian official or representative of Russian business interests was a party. 3. All communications records, including electronic communications records such as e-mail or text message, written correspondence, and phone records, of communications related in any way to Russia, conducted between you and members and advisors of the Trump campaign prior to 12pm on January 20, 2017. In sum, the subpoena demands a list of “all meetings” with “any Russian official,” “all communication records” with “any Russian official,” and “all communication records . . . related in any way to Russia” conducted with unnamed “members and advisors of the Trump campaign,” that occurred over an 18-month period.

Epstein summons in the next person cooling his heels in the ante- room. It’s a young man named Brock Pierce, a former child actor, and dotcom high flyer—a principle in a gaming company called DEN, a notorious dotcom burnout, with its own sex scandal—who is now a leading investor in Bitcoin. He describe himself as the “the most active investor in the field.” And, indeed, is the first clear explanation I actually get about Bitcoin. It is so good that Epstein stops him and checks to see if his next appointment is here. And seconds later, Larry Summers, the former treasury secretary and President of Harvard, enters the dining room. Summers, off Diet Coke, digs deep into the Sheikh’s chocolates, focuses in on the Bitcoin investor. “Okay,” he says, after listening for a bit, “I have opportunities here. But an additional feature of my decision problem roughly speaking is that the worst that could happen to you is that you could lose all the money you put into it. Whereas, I could go—I mean I don’t look that great now—but I could go from being seen as a figure of some probity and some intelligence to being a figure of much less intelligence and much less probity...” “Well,” says Pierce in some dramatic understatement, “you are going to have some low quality characters playing early in the space...” That evening, there is a small cocktail party, which includes the former Prime Minister of Australian, Kevin Rudd, and Thorbjern Jaglandthe head of the Noble Peace Prize Committee, who offers an affable, but general scathing, critique of U.S. diplomacy (and a brief defense of Obama’s Peace Prize award) and to whom Epstein offers a ride back to Europe on his jet. The next morning, it’s Ehud Barack, the former Israeli Prime Minister and Israel, for breakfast. Barack is, over his omelet, able to defend both Obama and Putin. Then Kathy Ruemmler, who has just left her job as White House Counsel joins. She is already in the mix as a possible next attorney general, but, in fact, will withdraw from consideration in part to work with Epstein. [TK Ruemmler quotes... ] Larry Summers wife, Elisa New, drops by. She teaches American poetry at Harvard and is putting together a proposal for a series on poetry that WGBH in Boston may produce and Epstein is advising on where she might go for added support (he also makes mince meat of her budget). There follows the former head of the UN Security Council, Hardeep Purie, and then head of the central bank of Kazakhstan, Kairat Kelimbetov. Then Nathan Myhrvold the former chief technology office at Microsoft. Then Martin Nowak a Professor of Biology and Mathematics and Director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard, the institute that Epstein has funded with $30 million.

RLK: So Trump recognizes that and he is getting political credit for that — whether people like it or not. There's unlikely to be anything before the midterms, but if President Trump is doing what he's doing, he needs to recognize that these issues that I articulated are really the critical issues. And China will be willing to make changes on them. They've already made changes on many of them, like on intellectual property rights, as I said RLK: . But if Trump can recognize what is really needed and what China will do, then Trump can get a huge win out of this, which is actually at the same time beneficial to China. That's a small needle hole at this point though which to look. But I think, ultimately, that's what will happen. HOST: Robert Lawrence Kuhn, thank you very much for your expertise.

Ironically, the TV commercials warn that if you have to pee eight times in 24 hours, it’ s a symptom of an overactive bladder. Indeed, irony has permeated this long-running scandal, beginning to end.

creators—for instance, a good model of the Earth’s climate should be able to predict the consequences of a rising global temperature even if this wasn’t something considered by the scientists who designed it. However, when it comes to understanding the human mind, these two goals—accuracy and generalizability—have long been at odds with each other. At the far extreme of generalizability are rational theories of cognition. These theories describe human behavior as a rational response to a given situation. A rational actor strives to maximize the expected reward produced by a sequence of actions—an idea widely used in economics precisely because it produces such generalizable predictions about human behavior. For the same reason, rationality is the standard assumption in inverse-reinforcement-learning models that try to make inferences from human behavior—perhaps with the concession that humans are not perfectly rational agents and sometimes randomly choose to act in ways unaligned with or even opposed to their best interests. The problem with rationality as a basis for modeling human cognition 1s that it is not accurate. In the domain of decision making, an extensive literature—spearheaded by the work of cognitive psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky—has documented the ways in which people deviate from the prescriptions of rational models. Kahneman and Tversky proposed that in many situations people instead follow simple heuristics that allow them to reach good solutions at low cognitive cost but sometimes result in errors. To take one of their examples, if you ask somebody to evaluate the probability of an event, they might rely on how easy it is to generate an example of such an event from memory, consider whether they can come up with a causal story for that event’s occurring, or assess how similar the event is to their expectations. Each heuristic is a reasonable strategy for avoiding complex probabilistic computations, but also results in errors. For instance, relying on the ease of generating an event from memory as a guide to its probability leads us to overestimate the chances of extreme (hence extremely memorable) events such as terrorist attacks. Heuristics provide a more accurate model of human cognition but one that is not easily generalizable. How do we know which heuristic people might use in a particular situation? Are there other heuristics they use that we just haven’t discovered yet? Knowing exactly how people will behave in a new situation is a challenge: Is this situation one in which they would generate examples from memory, come up with causal stories, or rely on similarity? Ultimately, what we need is a way to describe how human minds work that has the generalizability of rationality and the accuracy of heuristics. One way to achieve this goal is to start with rationality and consider how to take it in a more realistic direction. A problem with using rationality as a basis for describing the behavior of any real-world agent is that, in many situations, calculating the rational action requires the agent to possess a huge amount of computational resources. It might be worth expending those resources 1f you’re making a highly consequential decision and have a lot of time to evaluate your options, but most human decisions are made quickly and for relatively low stakes. In any situation where the time you spend making a decision is costly—at the very least because it’s time you could spend doing something else—the classic notion of rationality is no longer a good prescription for how one should behave. To develop a more realistic model of rational behavior, we need to take into 94 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016897

priorities, such as political and economic reforms. Israel has long branded the Arab world as tribal and undemocratic, in order to brand itself the only democracy in the Middle East. Well, soon enough it won’t be. Many of its neighbors will soon join the democratic world as demands for democracy grow. Democracy will mean more development, prosperity and people’s power. It means more popular participation in decision making and awareness of the possibilities of the nation and what it can and cannot do. It may not mean more hostility toward Israel if the latter knows how to deal with it. But there will be tension if Israel continues to follow extreme policies, which it will under the current leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu. The Palestinians must achieve their right to establish their own state on their land. This right has been recognized by almost everyone except a minority of extremists in Israel, led by Netanyahu. Free and democratic Arab countries won’t shrink from supporting this Palestinian right under any circumstances. Muslims will not give up on East Jerusalem, either. Arab regimes have been weak in the past. Democracy will strengthen them, but also add reason to Arab governance. Most Arabs have accepted Israel’s right to exist, and accepted U.N. resolutions 242 and 338, but Israeli intransigence is not helping them formulate a unified position. Democratic Egypt won’t be a threat to Israel as the Egyptian military, which will continue to be highly influential in Egypt’s politics in the foreseeable future, will not risk another war with Israel. Egyptians under a democratic regime will be seeking better living standards, better laws to govern the country and more rights as citizens. They won’t be pressing their government to fight Israel; on the contrary, they want a stable economy where things will be better for future generations. But Israel may aggravate the situation by electing extremists and following extreme policies. This will strengthen the hands of the hawks in the Arab world.

JOHN MAZZIOTTA Dr. John Mazziotta is Chair of the Department of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Director of the UCLA Ahmanson-Lovelace Brain Mapping Center. After receiving his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Columbia University in 1972, he obtained an M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroanatomy and Computer Science from Georgetown University in 1977. Following an internship at Georgetown, he completed Neurology and Nuclear Medicine training at UCLA and joined the faculty here in 1983. Dr. Mazziotta chairs one of the nation’s largest Neurology departments, which for nine of the last ten years achieved the distinguished position of being first in National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding. An expert in brain imaging, he established the Brain Mapping Center at UCLA that includes all of the methods available to study human brain structure and function. He was the principal investigator of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping, whose goal is to develop the first atlas of the human brain that will include behavioral, demographic, imaging, and genetic data from 7,000 subjects. Since beginning this work, Dr. Mazziotta has published more than 255 research papers and eight texts. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the Oldendorf Award from the American Society of Neuroimaging, the S. Weir Mitchell Award and the Wartenberg Prize of the American Academy of Neurology, the Von Hevesy Prize from the International Society of Nuclear Medicine, the 1996 Medical Science Award from the UCLA Medical Alumni Association, election to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, Honorary Doctorate from l'Université de Caen and membership in the Royal College of Physicians. In January 2012, Dr. Mazziotta was appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Medical Sciences and Executive Vice Dean of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. NICHOLAS NEGROPONTE Nicholas Negroponte (born December 1, 1943) is an American architect best known as the founder and Chairman Emeritus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab, and also known as the founder of the One Laptop per Child Association (OLPC). Negroponte was born to Dimitri John Negroponte, a Greek shipping magnate, and grew up in New York City’s Upper East Side. He is the younger brother of John Negroponte, former United States Deputy Secretary of State. He attended Buckley School in New York City, Le Rosey in Switzerland, and The Choate School (now Choate Rosemary Hall) in Wallingford, Connecticut, from which he graduated in 1961. Subsequently, he studied at MIT as both an undergraduate and graduate student in Architecture where his research focused on issues of computer-aided design. He earned a Master’s degree in architecture from MIT in 1966. Negroponte joined the faculty of MIT in 1966. For several years thereafter he divided his teaching time between MIT and several visiting professorships at Yale, Michigan and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1967, Negroponte founded MIT’s Architecture Machine Group, a combination lab and think tank which studied new approaches to human-computer interaction. In 1985, Negroponte created the MIT Media Lab with Jerome B. Wiesner. As director, he developed the lab into the pre-eminent computer science laboratory for new media and a high-tech playground for investigating the human-computer interface. Negroponte also became a proponent of intelligent agents and personalized electronic newspapers, for which he popularized the term the Daily Me. In 1992, Negroponte became involved in the creation of Wired Magazine as the first investor. From 1993 to 1998, he contributed a monthly column to the magazine in which he reiterated a basic theme: “Move bits, not atoms.” Negroponte expanded many of the ideas from his Wired columns into a bestselling book Being Digital (1995), which made famous his forecasts on how the interactive world, the entertainment world and the information world would eventually merge. Being Digital was a bestseller and was translated into some twenty languages. Negroponte is a digital optimist who believed that computers would make life better for everyone. However, critics such as Cass Sunstein have faulted his techno-utopian ideas for failing to consider the historical, political and cultural realities with which new technologies should be viewed. Negroponte’s belief that wired technologies such as telephones will ultimately become unwired by using airwaves instead of wires or fiber optics, and that unwired technologies such as televisions will become wired, is commonly referred to as the Negroponte switch. In 2000, Negroponte stepped down as director of the Media Lab as Walter Bender took over as Executive Director. However, Negroponte retained the role of laboratory Chairman. When Frank Moss was appointed director of the lab in 2006, Negroponte stepped down as lab chairman to focus more fully on his work with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) although he retains his appointment as professor at MIT. In November 2005, at the World Summit on the Information Society held in Tunis, Negroponte unveiled the concept of a $100 laptop computer, The Children’s Machine, designed for students in the developing world. The price has increased to US$180, however. The project is part of a broader program by One Laptop Per Child, a non-profit organisation started by Negroponte and other Media Lab faculty, to extend Internet access in developing countries. Negroponte is an active angel investor and has invested in over 30 startup companies over the last 30 years, including Zagats, Wired, Ambient Devices, Skype and Velti. He sits on several boards, including Motorola (listed on the New York Stock Exchange) and Velti (listed on the London Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ). He is also on the advisory board of TTI/Vanguard. In August 2007, he was appointed to a five-member special committee with the objective of assuring the continued journalistic and editorial integrity and independence of the Wall Street Journal and other Dow Jones & Company publications and services. The committee was formed as part of the merger of Dow Jones with News Corporation. Negroponte’s fellow founding committee members are Louis Boccardi, Thomas Bray, Jack Fuller, and the late former Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn. Negroponte has influenced modern day futurists, such as David Houle. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017551

"Question: And did you have any knowledge of why he was visiting there? that testimony? A. Yes. MR. SCOTT: Objection. This is totally improper cross exainination of a witness by trying to use a deposition.

Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr speaks to the San Antonio Bar Association in San Antonio, Friday afternoon, May 1, 1998. With his own fight over executive privilege raging in secret, Starr today drew parallels between his plight and Watergate prosecutors. (AP Photo/Eric Gay) ERIC GAY AP Epstein also hired Bruce Reinhart, then an assistant U.S. attorney in South Florida, now a U.S. magistrate. He left the U.S. Attorney’s Office on Jan. 1, 2008, and went to work representing Epstein’s employees on Jan. 2, 2008, court records show. In 2011, Reinhart was named in the Crime Victims’ Rights Act lawsuit, which accused him of violating Justice Department policies by switching sides, implying that he leveraged inside information about Epstein’s investigation to curry favor with Epstein. Reinhart, in a sworn declaration attached to the CVRA case, denied the allegation, saying he did not participate in Epstein’s criminal case and “never learned any confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office has since disputed that, saying in court papers that he did possess confidential information about the case. Contacted for this story, Reinhart, in an email, said he never represented Epstein — only Epstein’s pilots; his scheduler, Sarah Kellen; and Nadia Marcinkova, described by some victims as Epstein’s sex slave. Reinhart also pointed out that a complaint filed against him by victims’ lawyer Paul Cassell was dismissed by the Justice Department. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016449

262 13 Local, Global and Glocal Knowledge Representation 13.6.1 A Semi-Formal Model of Glocal Memory To explain the notion of glocal memory more precisely, we will introduce a simple semi-formal model of a system S that uses a memory to record information relevant to the actions it carries out. The overall concept of glocal memory should not be considered as restricted to this particular model. This model is not intended for maximal generality, but is intended to encompass a variety of current AI system designs and formal neurological models. In this model, we will consider S’s memory subsystem as a set of objects we’ll call “tokens,” embedded in some metric space. The metric in the space, which we will call the “basic distance” of the memory, generally will not be defined in terms of the semantics of the items stored in the memory; though it may come to shape these dynamics through the specific architecture and evolution of the memory. Note that these tokens are not intended as generally being mapped one-to-one onto meaningful items stored in the memory. The “tokens” are the raw materials that the memory arranges in various patterns in order to store items. We assume that each token, at each point in time, may meaningfully be assigned a certain quantitative “activation level.” Also, tokens may have other numerical or discrete quantities associated with them, depending on the particular memory architecture. Finally, tokens may relate other tokens, so that optionally a token may come equipped with an (ordered or un- ordered) list of other tokens. To understand the meaning of the activation levels, one should think about S’s memory subsystem as being coupled with an action-selection subsystem, that dynamically chooses the actions to be taken by the overall system in which the two subsystems are embedded. Each combination of actions, in each particular type of context, will generally be associated with the activation of certain tokens in memory. Then, as analysts of the system S, we may associate each token T with an “activation vector” v(T,t), whose value for each discrete time ¢ consists of the activation of the token T at time t. So, the 50’th entry of the vector corresponds to the activation of the token at the 50/th time step. “Items stored in memory” over a certain period of time, may then be defined as clusters in the set of activation vectors associated with memory during that period of time. Note that the system S itself may explicitly recognize and remember patterns regarding what items are stored in its memory — but, from an external analyst’s perspective, the set of items in S’s memory is not restricted to the ones that S has explicitly recognized as memory items. The “localization” of a memory item may be defined as the degree to which the various tokens involved in the item are close to each other according to the metric in the memory metric-space. This degree may be formalized in various ways, but choosing a particular quantitative measure is not important here. A highly localized item may be called “local” and a not-very-localized item may be called “global.” We may define the “activation distance” of two tokens as the distance between their activation vectors. We may then say that a memory is “well aligned” to the extent that there is a correlation between the activation distance of tokens, and the basic distance of the memory metric-space. Given the above set-up, the basic notion of glocal memory can be enounced fairly simply. A glocal memory is one: e that is reasonably well-aligned (i.e. the correlation between activation and basic distance is significantly greater than random) HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013178

The Question of When | 165 under horrific conditions for over a year while awaiting his trial and was facing a long prison sentence. There was no reason for Snowden to expect a better outcome for himself if he returned to the United States or was arrested anywhere else that had an extradition treaty with the United States. As the Russian officials in Hong Kong would have informed him, Russia had no extradition treaty with the United States. It was also one of the few places in the world that he could reach from Hong Kong without flying through airspace in which he might be intercepted by a U.S. ally. Snowden was told he could take the direct Aeroflot flight to Moscow without a valid passport or visa. That Snowden’s alternative to going to Russia was going to prison gave the Russians considerable leverage in Hong Kong. The Rus- sian “diplomats” could have used this leverage to extract a quid pro quo. The price of admission might have meant putting himself in the hands of Russian intelligence and telling it all he knew. The Moscow Scenario The final possibility is that Snowden did not come under Russian control until after he arrived in Moscow. After assessing the nega- tive attitude that Snowden expressed toward government authority on the video that was released by The Guardian, the Russian “diplo- mats” in Hong Kong might have concluded that Snowden could bolt if too much pressure was exerted on him there. The Russians could afford to be patient. They knew that Interpol and the United States would be pursuing Snowden throughout the world and that he had no valid travel documents and that his credit cards had been frozen. They would likely know that Sarah Harrison had arranged his flight to Moscow on June 23. So they had no urgent need to apply pressure on him before his plane landed in Russia. After the Russians took him in a “special operation” from the plane at the airport, he was informed by Russian authorities that he would not be allowed to go to Cuba, Venezuela, Iceland, Ecuador, or any other country without the permission of Russian officials, which would not be immediately forthcoming.

If the political or security situation seriously deteriorates - - if the checkpoints return, if the Israelis are forced to re-occupy urban areas ceded to the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo Accords, as happened during the Second Intifada; if Hamas wages a violent takeover of the Palestinian government -- all bets are off. The developers don't seem to be bothered by those possibilities right now. At the showroom, built at the very top of the hill, the future is nothing but bright.

20 other. Wars are notorious for yielding unintended and unexpected consequences; for reasons explained below, a war against Iran is even harder than usual to bound analytically. Complexity, Uncertainty and War Our first consideration in analyzing the likely course of war with Iran is that a U.S.-led attack would be merely the first phase of a war, the opening act of an extended drama whose scenes would unfold, not according to any script, but to an emergent logic of its own. Given the political context in which military engagement would rest, even a minor attack would likely become a major test of strength involving not only the United States and Iran but also a host of allies and associates. It is therefore disingenuous to try to frame military action against Iran as a simple “raid” or even a broader “operation.” We are talking here about war, with attendant potential high costs to all combatants in terms of military casualties, civilian damage and economic disruption. At least three concepts are key to any coherent discussion of a U.S.- Iranian military engagement: complexity, uncertainty and war itself. By complexity we mean the number of moving parts in a given situation: actors, processes and the connections among them. By uncertainty we mean structural uncertainty—that is, not just ignorance of the magnitudes of agreed casual factors, but the ignorance of the causal factors themselves, and their mutual relations. For example, not only may the U.S. government not know, say, the technical status of the Iranian nuclear program, or the actual state of readiness of Iranian forces. It may not know (or worse, have wrong) the decision-making and implementation protocols of the Iranian government, how the Iranian people and military would react to an attack, what Tehran would ask its allies and proxies to do, and what in fact they will do.

4.2.12 WC: 191694 written is unwise, unfair, false, or malicious. In a democratic society, one who assumes to act for the citizens in an executive, legislative, or judicial capacity must expect that his official acts will be commented upon and criticized. Such criticism cannot, in my opinion, be muzzled or deterred by the courts at the instance of public officials under the label of libel.” Since I am a public figure under the law, I have been defamed on numerous occasions, especially on the internet. The libels and slanders have been both personal and political. Although these defamations were published with actual malice, I have not sued, though I have often been tempted. (I once threatened to sue when a journalist made up a false racist and sexist quotation and attributed it to me; the newspaper investigated, agreed with me and made a contribution to my favorite charity). Many years after New York Times v. Sullivan, I myself was charged with defamation—indeed criminal defamation—for exercising my own freedom of speech to criticize a judge for an opinion she wrote. This certainly made me appreciate our First Amendment. Here is the story: One day in my office I opened an envelope and saw a notice that an Italian prosecutor in the city of Turin had initiated a criminal investigation against me. I had no idea what she could be referring to. The letter stated that I had committed the alleged act in the city of Turin on January 27%, 2005. I checked my calendar and discovered that I was teaching students at Harvard Law School on that day and then attending a lecture by a prominent federal judge. I could not possibly have been in Turin or engaged in any criminal act there. Yet I soon discovered that I was being charged with criminal libel for statements I had made in an interview with an Italian journalist over the telephone. The journalist was in New York. I was sitting at my desk in Cambridge. But the interview was published by the newspaper La Stampa in Turin on January 25", 2005. Accordingly, the alleged criminal act had taken place in Turin, even though I had never set foot in that city. Nor had I engaged in any act other than responding to questions and expressing my heartfelt views about a judge who had written a foolish and dangerous judicial opinion that ruled that three men suspected of recruiting suicide bombers were “guerrillas” and therefore not terrorists, and not guilty. I characterized her opinion as a “Magna Carta for terrorism,” and instead of answering (or ignoring) me, she filed criminal charges with the prosecutor who decided to open an investigation. As far as I know, the charges against me are still pending in Italy. I have every intention to fight them if it comes to that. A variation on the theme of defamation is ridicule. Cartoons and drawings have long been used to ridicule the high and mighty. More recently photo-shopped pictures have superimposed the heads of public figures on the bodies of others to demean or insult them. In 1988, the Supreme Court ruled that the Reverend Jerry Falwell could not sue Hustler Magazine for publishing a parody of the well known Campari Liqueur ads in which a celebrity described “his first time.” The ad relies on the obvious double-entendre on the first sexual and drinking experience. In the parody, Falwell is shown drinking and having sex with his mother—pretty disgusting! But as the Supreme Court rightly observed: 150 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017237

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Edwards and Cassells Response to Dershowitz's Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records Page 6 of 20 when the medical condition becomes an integral part of the civil proceeding, particularly when the condition is asserted as an issue by the party seeking closure” (emphasis added)). Il. JUDGE MARRA’S ORDER IN HIS CASE DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT THE RECORDS BE SEALED IN THIS CASE. Dershowitz also appears to contend that Judge Marra’s order striking some of the materials from the records at issue somehow requires that these stricken materials be kept confidential in this case. Dershowitz’s argument misunderstands both the scope of Judge Marra’s order and its effect in this case. His argument rests on a truncated — and misleading -- description of the events surrounding Judge Marra’s ruling striking certain documents. A more complete description makes clear that Judge Marra has not determined the documents are somehow “confidential” even in the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act case — much less in this separate state defamation action. Edwards and Cassell filed the federal case pro bono on behalf of two young women who were sexually abused as underage girls by Dershowitz’s close personal friend — Jeffrey Epstein. In 2008, Edwards and Casell filed a petition to enforce the rights of “Jane Doe No. 1” and ‘Jane Doe No. 2” under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA), 18 U.S.C. § 3771, alleging that the Government had failed to provide them rights with regard to a plea arrangement it was pursuing with Epstein.

When the pain relief kicked in, everything and everyone dwindled away until I felt like Alice in Wonderland who just swallowed the shrinking tablet and everyone standing around me seemed to move so quick, speak so loud and hover above me. When I awoke from my induced state, I was alone in a different room. Not knowing at all what went on but feeling a little better, I called in the nurse who looked through my charts and checked my vital signs. Then told me the doctor would be in shortly to inform me of the conclusion to my illness. He was a tall man with dark hair, and a hardened look about him obviously from his job and constantly seeing the worst horror stories man could think of, he just bluntly told me | had miscarried in early stages of pregnancy. | should be fine to go home as soon as my course of intravenous antibiotics was complete. The news sunk in fast and hit a deep nerve. I waited for the doctor to close the curtain before I let out any emotion and cried for my disastrous lifestyle that was dragging me into a world that I wanted to break out of. This reoccurring cycle of believing I needed men like Jeffrey to succeed in my life was draining the last bits of sensitivity left in my heart. I was picked up by Jeffrey himself-who took the doctor alone to the side of the busy hallway to have a private conversation about something. Jeffrey wasn’t comforting at all, instead he sent me back home to rest for a couple weeks, and | only fell deeper into a depression, using all forms of self-medication to treat my sorrows. Two weeks later, as if Jeffrey was trying to lighten my spirits, he told me I would be going to his island to meet a new client. He is a Harvard Professor, named Stephen Kosslyn. I would be spending two days with him showing him around the island, dining with him, and treating him to a massage whenever he wanted. Without Jeffrey even verbalizing the need to have sex with him, he told me to keep him happy like I had my first client. I packed my suitcase with island apparel, and kissed T.J good- bye, who had at least offered me a warm embrace upon the news of my miscarriage but none other than that knowing it wasn’t his. Stephen was a quirky little man with white hair and a mad scientist look about him. We arrived separately and I greeted him when one of the housekeepers picked him up from the airport and arrived by boat, instead of helicopter as Jeffrey and Ghislane often arrive on. We made our acquaintances and he looked as if he was tripping over himself with words, obviously delighted with his company and location for the weekend. { showed him around as Jeffrey had asked and took him on an adventurous quad bike ride around the small curvy paths, leading the way and letting loose my hair, doing something that gave me a natural high instead of the prescription one. The sights alone were breathtaking from the mountainous peaks of the untouched parts of the island, we sat ata cliff and just sat there, not saying a word to each other besides to 59 '] Copyright Protected Material CONFIDENTIAL GIUFFRE004 192 compliment the sights mother nature that appealed to us. I didn’t feel as if lL owed this stranger anything but what was expected of me by Jeffrey and I could be polite, I just couldn’t be myself. We got back to the main villa to see what time dinner would be served so we could have time to unpack and clean up beforehand. We both met at six pm for dinner on the outside veranda. He sat at the head of the table and I sat next to him, politely folding my napkin to put in my lap. The first time Jeffrey and Ghislane had seen me cut meat and eat with a fork and knife they were so appalled, making fun of my unsophisticated habits. Ghislane took the fork and knife in her hands and proceeded to show me how to politely cut my food and eat. Now that my mannerisms had improved they wouldn’t have to be worried about my etiquette when someone important was around anyone. We both drank the red wine supplied on the table and it seemed to warm me up on the breezy night. By the time dinner was served and another red wine bottle later, he seemed to get funnier. | made fun of his tousled hair and he poked at me for my skinny legs, calling me a wanna-be- anorexic. When dessert was brought out, he asked if he could receive one of the delightful massages he has been hearing about from Jeffrey. | gulped more red wine down and sweetly complied with his offer, dreading the moment I'd have to see his naked body, let alone touch it. I asked the housekeeper Kathy that had been serving us that night to please have someone set up a massage bed in one of the cabana’s. | went to my room to down a few Xanax, telling him I wanted to freshen up after dinner but to meet me in his cabana in twenty minutes or so. | was ready to go as | had said, twenty minutes later, with the effects of the tablets mixed with the red wine, and I would he free not to feel anything. He was still dressed when { got in the cabana, obviously not accustomed to this and a lot shyer than what I had been used to, I told him he’d need to undress and lie face down on the table, putting a towel to cover his bare bottom to prevent him feeling embarrassed during the massage. I gave the massage my earnest as I always had, and quickly got through having intercourse with him. Not wanting to make any foreplay or anything extravagant out of it, I let him think that’s as good as it got, and by the smile on his face, J thought I had done enough. The next day I took him down to the beach for a real massage under a tiki-hut on the waters edge. It was one of Jeffrey’s favorite places to have a massage, as he droned out to the sound of the waves and my gentle therapeutic strokes. Afterwards we had lunch back at the main villa and went back down to the beach to swim out to the water trampoline about one hundred meters off the dock. He didn’t do any bouncing around or anything like that. It was just a good base point for a rest spot after a long 60 U Copyright Protected Material GIUFFRL004 193 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021174

precedent of doing nothing would, in my view, be very serious. I recommended that he approve the operation, and Rabin agreed. I attended the final briefing shortly afterwards. I was impressed by the determined faces of the men in the two sayeret teams. One of the officers was 23-year-old Nir Poraz, whom I remembered from operational briefings in the kirya on previous sayeret missions. Wachsman was being held in a room on the first floor. The commandos would simultaneously detonate explosives on three doors: at the front, on the side, and a third one leading through a kitchen to the room where the kidnappers had their hostage. The attack began fifteen minutes before the Hamas deadline. The explosive charges went off, but only the one in the front blew open the door. Poraz and his team rushed in, but one of the kidnappers opened fire, killing him and wounding six others. The other team had by now made it to the first floor. But despite firing at the metal lock, they had trouble getting the door to open. By the time they got in, Wachsman had been killed, shot in the neck and chest. I was in the command post a few hundred yards away. I called Rabin and then went to see him in the kirya. The head of personnel for the army had gone to see the Wachsman family and break the news to them. Now, we had to tell the country. Rabin and I appeared on television together. Rabin insisted — wrongly — on saying he bore full responsibility. What had gone wrong, I had tried to impress on him, was not the decision to attempt the rescue. It was the rescue itself. That was not his responsibility. It was mine. The next day, I visited Wachsman’s parents, and tried to convey how painful the failed rescue was to me, Rabin and every one else involved. I was inspired and humbled by their response. His father had told a reporter he wanted to convey his condolences to the parents of Nir Poraz. “This added loss has shaken me terribly,” he said. He told me he also believed that the Prime Minister had approved the rescue using his best judgement on the information that he had available. I spent time separately speaking to Mrs Wachsman. | tried to explain that in fighting an enemy like Hamas, people who not just threaten to kill but had proven they had no hesitation in doing so, I’d felt there was no choice but to attempt the rescue. I admitted we’d known the risks. But we’d tried to do the right thing, both for the country and her son. I think she understood, though I knew that nothing could alter the terrible sadness of her loss. The pain would take years to heal. Some part of it never would. Still, I felt it was important she and her husband know that we, too, felt their loss. For years afterwards, Nava and I continued to visit them. 267 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028115

26 market.7 A “social war” would involve appeals to Islamic solidarity and attempts to weaken popular support for adversary governments through influence operations and attacks aimed at civilians. In such a broad and protracted contest, the United States might not enjoy a favorable balance of advantages. It is by no means clear, either, that the U.S. government is structured to effectively prosecute such a war, or that its intelligence capabilities are oriented properly toward supporting it. Given these caveats and complexities, it seems to follow that if the United States chose to attack Iran, it would do so in ways that would prevent Iran from expanding the conflict into areas where it held an advantage. The reasoning might go something like this: Since the Iranian regime has many ways to widen a war into domains that do not favor the United States, the best option is to execute regime- change before the regime can open its bag of tricks. Or it might go like this: Start small, but if the Iranians escalate the war, shift immediately to a regime-change option before they can succeed. Almost needless to say, these are hard-to-control and high-risk approaches. A decapitation strategy, we know, did not fare so well in March 2003 against Iraq, and it would probably be harder to pull off against a more deeply institutionalized polity like Iran. As for a “start small” approach, let’s suppose that the war begins with a limited air and naval operation. Iran could respond in a limited “tit- for-tat” way. But the regime might conclude that the operation is intended to remove it from power (or succeed in doing so unintentionally); if so, it might respond with a high level of violence along several axes of capability. There is simply no way to predict with confidence how radicals in Iran would respond to an initially limited U.S. attack. We must base our predictions largely on what the leadership says, the Iranian regime’s history and our limited intelligence on the regime’s internal dynamics.8 All this is subject to HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018110

4.2.12 WC: 191694 “The Muslim Student Union orchestrated a concerted effort to disrupt the speech. One student after another stood and shouted so that the ambassador could not be heard. Each student was taken away only to be replaced by another doing the same thing.” Chemerinsky understates what happened, as anyone can see by watching a video of the event, available online (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w96UR79TBw). This was more than a "concerted effort to disrupt the speech." It was a concerted effort to stop it completely -- to censor Oren's right to speak and his audience's right to hear him. The efforts to disrupt succeeded; the effort to stop ultimately failed. Moreover, there is undisputed evidence that there was a well- planned conspiracy to censor Oren's talk. The students were disciplined by the university for their actions, though the nature and degree of the discipline has been kept confidential. Campus sources have characterized it as a "slap on the wrist." Since the students had to be arrested to prevent the speech from being drowned out, the District Attorney, quite understandably, commenced a criminal investigation. After learning of the careful planning that went into the concerted effort to prevent Oren from speaking, the DA filed misdemeanor charges against those who were involved. This decision resulted in an outcry by radicals, many of whom favor censorship of pro-Israel speakers. In a letter to the DA signed by many well-known anti-Israel zealots, as well as by the two leaders of the local ACLU, the incident was described as merely a protest: “the students non-violently and verbally protested a university-invited speaker. The students left the event peacefully ....”*° Then, in an effort to blame the victims, the letter pointed the finger at pro-Israel students who wanted to listen to Oren speak claiming -- quite falsely -- that the Muslim Student Union censors "conducted themselves in less of a disruptive manner than some of the counter-protestors..." Sounds as if the Muslim Student Union deserved a civil liberties award, while the students who came to listen to the invited speaker—“the counter-protestors”—deserve to be condemned. Ina more recent letter the ACLU leaders claim that “the students’ intent was not to censor the speaker...” The students themselves have been more honest about their intentions than the ACLU leaders. . For instance, one student leader refused to acknowledge that Mr. Oren had First Amendment rights of his own by interrupting him and shouting, “Propagating murder is not an expression of free speech!” (Shades of Bruce Franklin!) Another student was caught on video telling a crowd assembled outside the event that “we pretty much shut them down”. The fact that radical anti-Israel zealots would support censorship of a pro-Israel speaker comes as no surprise. But the fact that the letter of support was signed by two ACLU leaders should shock all civil libertarians and supporters of the ACLU. I have been a supporter of the ACLU for half a century and was a national board member. In addition to supporting the right of Nazis to march through Skokie, I have defended the right of the most virulent anti-Israel speakers to participate ” http://www. baitcal.com/UCIMuslimStudentUnion.html 136 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017223

His victims have never had a voice, until now. By Emily Michot I Julie K. Brown A former top prosecutor involved in the Jeffrey Epstein sex case is defending his old boss, Alexander Acosta, whose decision to craft a secret plea deal with the wealthy New York hedge fund manager has come under federal scrutiny. In his first public comments on the 10-year-old case, Jeffrey H. Sloman — who at the time was second in command under Acosta at the U.S. Attorney's Office in HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023126 Miami — said prosecutors resolved the case based on the facts and evidence, and what he called "legal impediments," including the belief that many of Epstein's teenage victims were too "terrified" to cooperate in the case. "Given the obstacles we faced in fashioning a robust federal prosecution, we decided to negotiate a resolution," said Sloman, now in private practice. "We did not reach this decision lightly and it came only after significant and often rancorous internal debate." Jeffrey Sloman, who was second-in-command to then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta when the latter was deciding whether to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein, says the office handled the case properly. Aixa Montero Holt In a lengthy opinion piece submitted to the Miami Herald Editorial Board, Sloman alleges that the attacks on Acosta's role in the controversial case are politically driven by critics who failed to raise significant issues when Acosta was nominated and confirmed as the U.S. secretary of labor in 2017. Sloman's comments come two weeks after the Justice Department announced it had opened an investigation over whether there was prosecutorial misconduct in the case involving Epstein, who ran a sex pyramid scheme from his Palm Beach estate that targeted scores of underage girls from 2001 to 2006. About 30 members of Congress demanded the probe following a Miami Herald series of stories, "Perversion of Justice," that detailed how federal prosecutors, led HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023127 by Acosta, stitched together an unusual immunity deal that allowed Epstein to escape what could have been a life sentence in federal prison. U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has been criticized for the plea deal he worked out with Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was U.S. attorney for Southern Florida at the time. Alan Diaz Instead, Epstein — whose friends included President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and other politically connected people — was allowed to quietly plead guilty to prostitution charges in state court. He served 13 months in the county jail, where he was allowed liberal work release privileges rarely given to sex offenders in Florida and barred by the Palm Beach Sheriffs Department's own rules. He was released in 2009, but his victims — who were 13 to 16 years old at the time — are still fighting more than a decade later to have his non-prosecution agreement overturned. In his op-ed, Sloman called Acosta "an outstanding public servant ... at risk of becoming collateral damage in Washington's latest polarized conflagration," adding, "I won't let it happen without first being heard." Jeffrey Epstein apologizes, but not to his victims Jeffrey Epstein, a multimillionaire who molested dozens of underage girls, and is suspected of trafficking countless other girls around the world, issued a public apology Tuesday. It was not to the victims of his abuse, but to one of their lawyers. HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023128 "As additional details about Epstein's crimes have emerged, it is clear to me that we should have pushed for much harsher terms," Sloman wrote. "That said, some have mistakenly suggested that our office kowtowed to Epstein's high-priced defense lawyers or, worse, that his lawyers corrupted or intimidated us into submission. ... Nothing could be further from the truth." Sloman did not directly address the chief complaint brought by Epstein's victims, who are now in their late 20S and early 30s. Those who spoke to the Herald said they felt betrayed by federal prosecutors, who sealed the non-prosecution agreement from public view so that they wouldn't find out about it before he was sentenced. It would be almost a year before they were successful in having it unsealed. By then, it was too late to try to derail it. They allege, in a federal lawsuit filed against the government, that prosecutors deliberately kept the deal secret — in violation of federal law — to prevent them from appearing at Epstein's sentencing to possibly undo the deal. Nor did Sloman address why prosecutors also gave immunity to a number of Epstein's co- conspirators, who have never been identified. "They cut a deal which they have to know was a failure," said Marci Hamilton, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and executive director of Child USA, which advocates for children's civil liberties. " They kept it secret and they didn't charge the co-conspirators. The horror of this is if you don't hold all the 'Johns' accountable, then it doesn't stop. This case involved multiple girls, multiple men, multiple recruiters, multiple times and he recruited girls to get other girls. That's a trafficking organization." Acosta has not commented since 2011, when he defended his decisions in a publicly issued letter that can be found in the federal court file. In it, he described what he called a "yearlong assault" on prosecutors by Epstein's "army of legal superstars," including Roy Black, Kenneth Starr and Alan Dershowitz, among others. In four long paragraphs, Acosta detailed how defense attorneys relentlessly worked to manipulate the negotiation process, often frustrating prosecutors. "They would obtain concessions as part of a negotiation and agree to proceed, only to change their minds, and appeal the office's decision to Washington," Acosta wrote, adding that their tactics included delving into the private family lives of individual prosecutors in an effort to discredit them and get them removed from the case. Wrote Sloman: "The Herald's 'Perversion of Justice' series presented a heartrending portrait of Epstein's victims and made a strong case that he should have gone to jail much longer, but never explained or substantiated its accusation that we schemed with Epstein's lawyers." HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023129 The Herald's series quoted a trove of letters and emails between prosecutors and Epstein's defense team that showed that Epstein's lawyers were allowed to dictate the terms of each deal that they drew up, and prosecutors repeatedly backed down on deadlines. The lead prosecutor, Marie Villafaria, amid the negotiations wrote to Epstein lawyer Jay Lefkowitz: "I thought we had worked very well together in resolving this dispute. ... I feel that I bent over backwards to keep in mind the effect that the agreement would have on Mr. Epstein." Where are they now? The biggest players in the Jeffrey Epstein case The girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein and the cops who championed their cause remain angry over what they regard as a gross injustice, while Epstein's employees and those who engineered his non-prosecution agreement have prospered. The email chain also shows that prosecutors sometimes communicated with the defense team using private emails, and that their correspondence referenced discussions that they wanted to have by phone or in person so that there would be no paper trail, the Herald found. At one point, Acosta met privately with Lefkowitz, who came from the same Washington, D.C.-based law firm, at a Marriott hotel in West Palm Beach, the emails showed. It was at that meeting, the records show, when Acosta agreed to keep the deal secret. The correspondences also show that Sloman sought several times to have Epstein's victims notified about the deal, as required under the Crime Victims Rights Act. But after Epstein's lawyers aggressively objected and appealed to Acosta, it never happened. Sloman, however, insisted that Epstein's lawyers' aggressive defense had no bearing on the office's decision to set aside what court records show was a 53-page federal indictment it had prepared against Epstein. Sloman said the facts dictated that Epstein should plead guilty to what he called "a crime in state court that reflected his true conduct," adding that the case was "at heart, a local sex case." "It is a gross mischaracterization to describe this as a local sex case," said lawyer Jack Scarola, a representative of several of Epstein's then-underage victims. "There was ample evidence that Epstein was operating on a large international scale. The involvement of the federal government was a consequence of evidence that children were crossing national and state borders for the purpose of prostitution." At the time that the case was closed, FBI investigators had identified nearly 40 victims — and more were coming forward — who said they had been molested or sexually assaulted by Epstein and some of his co-conspirators. One of those victims, Courtney Wild, told the Herald that she brought at least 6o girls to his waterfront HOUSE OVERSIGHT 023130 Palm Beach estate over time. She wanted Epstein prosecuted — and was willing to testify — but prosecutors never gave her the chance, she told the Herald. In addition, FBI records show that agents had traveled to New York and New Mexico to interview other possible victims, the Herald found. The non-prosecution deal that was struck was filed under seal. The result was that no one — not even the judge — would know the full scope of Epstein's crimes and how many victims were involved. Acosta, who now heads a federal agency with oversight of international child labor laws and human trafficking, was personally involved in the negotiations, records, letters and emails show. AG nominee Barr pledges to look into handling of Epstein case Sen. Ben Sasse questioned attorney general nominee William Barr about the Jeffrey Epstein case on January 15, 2019, getting the nominee to commit to having the Department of Justice look into the handling of that case if confirmed. By C-SPAN Sloman reiterated Acosta's earlier contention that most of Epstein's victims wouldn't cooperate. "So somehow, had Epstein been a child molester of one or two victims, then they would have prosecuted him?" said Wild's attorney, Brad Edwards, in an interview with the Herald for its series published in November. "But because he molested hundreds of victims and some of them wouldn't testify, then they are saying, 'we can't prosecute.' How absurd is that argument?" Edwards tried unsuccessfully to block the plea deal in federal court. In 2008, days after Epstein was sentenced, he filed an emergency order, alleging that the agreement was illegal because it violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which grants crime victims certain rights, including the right to confer with prosecutors and be notified of a plea deal. The lawsuit is still pending a decade later. "There is a reason for the Crime Victims Rights Act — so that prosecutors don't preempt a victim's ability to speak for themselves about a proposed plea bargain," Scarola said. "Here, the decision was being made secretly for them." DARREN K. INDYKE 5300 W.

Edwards, Bradley vs. Dershowitz Case No.: CACE 15-000072 Edwards and Cassells Response to Dershowitz's Motion to Determine Confidentiality of Court Records Page 12 of 20 Scarola) and Dershowitz’s extended answer are quoted in full— including Dershowitz’s reference to the oral sex allegation that he now argues this Court should treat as “confidential”: Q. [Y]ou [are] aware that years before December of 2014, when the CVRA pleading was filed, that your name had come up repeatedly in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minors, correct? . . . A. Let me answer that question. I am aware that never before 2014, end of December, was it ever, ever alleged that I had acted in any way inappropriately with regard to Virginia [Giuffre], that I ever touched her, that I ever met her, that Ihad ever been with her. I was completely aware ofthat. There had never been any allegation. She claims under oath that she told you that secretly in 2011, but you have produced no notes of any such conversation. You, of course, are a witness to this allegation and will be deposed asa witness to this allegation. I believe it is an entirely false allegation that she told you in 2011 that she had had any sexual contact with me. I think she’s lying through her teeth when she says that. And I doubt that your notes will reveal any such information. But if she did tell you that, she would be absolutely, categorically lying. So I am completely aware that never, until the lies were put in a legal pleading at the end of December 2014, it was never alleged that I had any sexual contact with Virginia Roberts. I know that it was alleged that I was a witness to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged abuse and that was false. | was never a witness to any of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse. And I wrote that to you, something that you have falsely denied. And I stand on the record. The record is clear that I have categorically denied I was ever a witness to any abuse, that | ever saw Jeffrey Epstein abusing anybody. And -- and the very idea that I would stand and talk to Jeffrey Epstein while he was receiving oral sex from Virginia Roberts, which she swore to under oath, is so outrageous, so preposterous, that even David Boies said he couldn’t believe it was true. MS. McCAWLEY: I object. I object. I'm not going to allow you to reveal any conversations that happened in the context of a settlement discussion. THE WITNESS: Does she have standing?

Chapter Sixteen Rabin had inherited a peace process, put in motion by the Bush Administration after the Gulf War. But since both Prime Minister Shamir and our Arab enemies had reasons of procedure, politics or principle to resist the talks, merely getting them off the ground had required the same combination of deftness and determination President Bush had brought to assembling his wartime coalition and defeating Saddam. After a formal opening session in Madrid, the “bilateral tracks” — between Israel and negotiators from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinians — had quickly stalemated and stalled. Yitzhak came to office saying he was not interested in a peace process, which seemed to him a license for endless talk with no set endpoint, but in peacemaking. Since | had the good fortune to be part of the informal inner circle with which he discussed the potential opportunities, pitfalls and frustrations along the way, I know that he wasn’t assuming we could necessarily achieve a peace agreement with any of our neighbors. But after the twin shocks of the Lebanon War and the Scud missiles, he was concerned that Israel would retreat into a mix of political caution and military deterrence which he rightly believed was short-sighted. He believed we needed at least to try to seize a “window of opportunity” with those enemies who were at least open to compromise, if only because we were facing new threats from enemies for whom talk was not even an option. An increasingly assertive Iran, with nuclear ambitions, was one. But the intifada had also thrown up new Palestinian groups grounded not in nationalism, but fundamentalist Islam: Hamas in Gaza, which opposed Israel’s presence on any part of “Muslim Palestine,” and Islamic Jihad on the West Bank. And in Lebanon, we were confronting the Iranian-backed Shi’ ite militia fighters of Hizbollah. Each of us in the small group on whom Rabin relied for input on the peace talks brought something different to the mix. In addition to me, there were four other generals: Uri Saguy, the head of military intelligence; Gadi Zohar, in charge of civil administration for the West Bank and Gaza; my own former sayeret deputy, Danny Yatom, who was head of the central command; and Rabin’s military aide, Kuti Mor. Also included were longtime political and media aide Eitan Haber, and another trusted political adviser thousands of miles away: Itamar Rabinovich, our ambassador in Washington and Israel’s leading Syria expert. But I’m sure we weren’t chosen just for our insights. It was 253 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028101

The following week was a daily routine, providing Jeffrey with massages and continuously being groomed to fulfil] all his needs. Often joined by Ms. Maxwell and her assistant Emmy for sexual trysts of all kinds. I was mentally and physically exhausted from the week of working and having to keep up with Jeffrey's strenuous late night activities. I couldn’t believe what I was doing but it was all starting to sink in fast. Most nights when | got home, I’d briefly say “Hi” to Mom and Dad before heading straight to my bedroom. I couldn’t even sleep well anymore. Closing my eyes at night I would fight the inevitable flood of thoughts, replaying the moments of shame that ate away myself piece by piece. My only reasoning being | just had to keep telling myself it would all be worth it in the end. This afternoon Ghislane appeared to be in a much better mood. Instead of taking me straight up to Jeffrey she took me to a yellow guest room where Emmy mostly stayed. It had a balcony where Emmy was already outside reading a magazine and puffing on a cigarette. Ghislane lit one up too and then offered me one. I hadn’t smoked cigarettes much before, besides trying to look cool in front of one of my friends, but never really took to them, so when | started to cough from the inhalation of smoke, the girls began to laugh and joke about my in-experience. It was an icebreaker for all of us to laugh and poke fun at me. I was then able to give it back to them saying I would rather be an in-experienced non- smoker than an old lady with a raspy smokers cough. | don’t think Ghislane was used to somebody giving it back to her, but she seemed to like it, as long as she was able to have the last say. | knew my boundaries and she liked that I wouldn’t cross those invisible lines. All three of us chatted like friends and it started to feel like some kind of a strange relationship was budding. After about fifteen minutes of chatting away, Ghislane instructed me to wash my hands thoroughly, as Jeffrey hated the smell of smokers, and to follow her down the hallway to the massage room where he’ll be expecting me shortly. I did what she asked and sprayed myself with the body spray that I always carried in my purse and headed down the hall to Jeffrey’s room. When I opened the door to the massage room surprisingly it was empty. I sat down on the already made up massage table and was careful not to mess up the neatly folded towels on the end of the bed. It was a good fifteen more minutes before Jeffrey made his appearance. It was strange seeing him in clothes for the first time. He wasn’t wearing what you’d expect your typical billionaire’s attire to be. He was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a Harvard sweatshirt, which he began to remove immediately. This time he wanted to commence our session in the steam room, so | began to undress as well. We went into the steam room and he pushed a few buttons and the steam began to pour in from the marble 31 UI Copyright Protected Material CONTIDENTIAL GIUFFRE004 164 wall’s built in jets. There was a bench coming out of the wall also made out of marble that went from either side of the room and had a step underneath it where I was instructed to sit on so that I could begin giving Jeffery his massage. Our conversation started off about simple things like how was your day at work, and I asked Jeffrey how his day was lounging around, just being polite to cach other. He was acting out of character being a lot more attentive and conversing with me about other things than sex or massages for once. Starting with his heels, ankles, toes and arches in the soles of his feet I massaged all the way up to his calves. It took a lot more strength to massage in the steam room without oils or lotions and the constant blowing of steam in your face making me twice as exerted. | was beginning to really start to heat up when the door to the room suddenly opened to reveal two naked women. Ghislane and Emmy acted as if they came in to join us for a steam bath, but my instincts were telling me otherwise. At least the cold burst of air and escaped steam revived me a bit. So there was Jeffrey and Ghislane sitting on top of this marble bench, each with a young girl at their feet. Emmy and I continued with the massage until they were ready to head into the shower. There were two showerheads that Ghislane and Jeffrey both stood under while they were being lathered with soap bubbles as we washed their bodies. After the shower Ghislane led us into Jeffrey’s bed to finish today’s session with Emmy, Ghislane and I performing lesbian acts of foreplay on each other while Jeffrey laid back and watched. Stroking his manhood in much delight, he brought himself to climax, and the session was over within moments. We all got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen for some refreshments. Like nothing had happened at all, it was all so bizarre for me, the whole ordeal with them since this all began. | couldn’t understand why Ghislane and Jeffrey had such an openly intimate relationship but yet never regarded themselves as partners. They rarely kissed and never held hands or even slept in the same bed. It was more like a sexual arrangement between the two of them. She brings in the girls for his peculiar taste and he supplies the lavish lifestyle she was accustomed too before her family lost all of their fortunes. I wasn’t sure how to act or feel, always obliging to their needs but reserved enough not to get attached, as if there was this invisible hierarchy and by instinct I knew my place. We all hung out in the kitchen for a while before | asked when Juan could bring me home as I had work in the morning and was tired. They said no problem and called Juan on the intercom right away, but said we'd all have something to talk about tomorrow. | knew it had something to do with my employment trial and from the way they were acting tonight, I could only assume I got the job, but you never know with these 32 0 Copyright Protected Material GIULEFRE0G4 163 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021160

The Question of When | 159 He offered to defect to the United States. The CIA accepted his offer, and through this archive of secrets he had previously compiled, he became one of the CIA’s most productive sources in the Cold War. The job of an intelligence service is to take advantage of whatever opportunities come its way in the form of self-generated spies. If a Russian walk-in had not yet burned his bridges to his own ser- vice, U.S. intelligence officers were under instructions to attempt to persuade the walk-in to return to his post in Russia and serve as a “defector-in-place,” or mole. “While defectors can and do provide critical information,” a CIA memorandum on walk-ins during the Cold War noted, “there are very few cases in which the same indi- vidual may not have been of greater value if he had returned to his post.” Of course, if a walk-in believed he was already compromised, as Golitsyn did, a decision would have to be made whether the value of his intelligence merited exfiltrating him to the United States. This required evaluating the bona fides of the walk-in. Not all walk-ins are accepted as defectors. Some walk-ins are deemed “dan- gles,” or agents dispatched by the KGB to test and confuse the CIA. ® Others are rejected as political liabilities, as happened to Wang Lijun, © a well-connected police chief in China. In February 2012, Wang walked into the U.S. consulate in Chengdu asking for asylum. The State Department decided against it. After Wang left U.S. protection, he was arrested for corruption and received a fifteen-year prison sentence. Such decisions about walk-ins are not made without due consideration, often at the highest level of a government, because exfiltrating a defector can result in diplomatic ruptures and political embarrassments. Conversely, it raises espionage concerns when an adversary gov- ernment authorizes the exfiltration of a rogue employee of an intel- ligence service. At minimum, it suggests that a rival government placed value on what the defector could provide it. The Snowden case is no exception. Whatever Snowden’s prior relations might have been with Russia, it can be assumed that after he fled to Moscow, in light of the intelligence value of the stolen documents, he would wind up in the hands of the Russian security services. That assump- tion was reinforced by subsequent countermeasures that were implemented by adversaries moved to block secret sources of NSA | | Epst_9780451494566_2p_all_r1.z.indd 159 ® 9/29/16 5:51 Pa | | HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019647

te OK ok Section 1 Study Guide A regular reader who goes by SnowdropExplodes suggested that I add "study guides” to the end of each section of this book in order to pull it together, and I thought it was a good idea. (See why I love my readers?) I'm sure that others could find this insufferably patronizing, however; if you're one of them, feel free not to read the guides! I'm just trying to offer questions for further thought, and give some insight on why I organized this book the way I did. This section was intended to pull together the ideas I see as "basic" or "building blocks" for feminist sex, both in theory and in practice. KOK ok 1. Have any of these pieces felt relevant to how you communicate with your partners? Have any pieces felt irrelevant or incomprehensible? Can you see any overarching themes that guide which ones felt relevant, and which ones felt incomprehensible? la. If you could give your partners one piece of advice about communicating with you, what would it be? 1b. Are there areas of communication that you feel you need to work on? (For example, Clarisse often thinks that she should work on her non-verbal communication, and has occasionally had trouble being direct with her partners about what she wants.) lc.

Not surprisingly, growth has stalled. Wages have fallen. Productivity has stagnated. For 95% of the male population, real earnings are lower today than they were in 1973. Is there any wonder many of these men vote for Donald Trump — a “strong man” who promises to do something about it? But the top 5% — where the foxes are — gained income.

From: Sent: To: Sultan Bin Sulayem ________________________________________ 8/12/2011 2:43:12 PM Jeffrey Epstein [jeeyacation@gmail.com] Importance: High Newsmax. corn Laffer: Obama Must Use Reaganomics to Save Economy The only way President Barack Obama can solve the nation's economic woes is to adopt "common-sense" Reaganomics, the policy's architect Arthur Laffer claims in an exclusive Newsmax interview. Laffer said the White House called him in the spring and asked him to speak to Obama's former Council of Economic Advisors' chairman Austen Goolsbee — and he had told him exactly the same thing. "Reaganomics would fix any economy that's in the doldrums," Laffer said. "It's not a magic sauce, it's common sense. "You've got to get rid of all federal taxes in the extreme and replace them with a low-rate flat tax on business net sales, and on personal unadjusted gross income. That's number one. "Number two, you have to have spending restraint. Government spending causes unemployment, it does not cure unemployment. "Number three, you need sound money. Ben Bernanke is running the least sound monetary policy I've ever heard of," Laffer said. "Number four you need regulations, but you don't need those regulations to go beyond the purpose at hand and create collateral damage. The regulatory policies are really way off here. "And lastly you need free trade," Laffer said. "Foreigners produce some things better than we do and we produce some things better than foreigners. It would be foolish in the extreme if we didn't sell them those things we produce better than they do in exchange for those things they produce better than we do." In the interview the veteran economist said Standard & Poor's was quite right in downgrading the U.S. credit rating — in fact it should have done so far earlier. The agency had no choice and if the other agencies, Moody's and Fitch, don't do the same they won't be doing their jobs, said Laffer, who gave his name to the Laffer Curve which demonstrates that the maximum amount of government revenue does not come at the point of maximum taxes. ______`If you had a company that had revenues of $21/2 million and expenses of $4 million, with no change in sight, $11/2 million in losses each year as far as the eye can see and it had already borrowed $10 million, what would you rate that company? I surely wouldn't rate it AAA. "That is the U.S. situation today," Laffer said. "Taxes are about $21/2 trillion, government spending is about $4 trillion and we have about $10 trillion in net national debt. I don't see that as being a AAA country. "If the S&P and the others were doing their jobs correctly, they should have downgraded a long time ago." Laffer said he has no doubt the country will win its top rating back, but only when economic policies are HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025231 completely turned around. He said President Barack Obama's administration's only economic plan seemed to be to expand government ownership of the means of production. "They have nationalized the health care industry pretty extensively. They've done that with home building as well. They've tried it with the auto industry as well. So they have moved very, very deliberatively and purposefully toward extending the government ownership of the means of production. "That to me, if you read the tealeaves, is what they are doing. It is not what they are saying they are doing, but that is what they actually are doing. "People don't work to pay taxes, people work to get what they can after taxes. It's that very private incentive that motivates them to work. If you pay people not to work and tax them if they do work, don't be surprised if you find a lot of people not working." Laffer said the current economic woes started to form under President George W. Bush but have been made worse by Obama's policies. "There's a wedge driven between wages paid and wages received and that wedge is the tax/government spending wedge," he said. "That wedge has grown dramatically in the last 4 1/2 years...under W and a Republican administration and...under Obama. Bipartisan ignorance has led us to this very disastrously desolate state." Laffer had high praise for the role the tea party has played in bringing the problem of the deficits to the fore. "The tea party is not the problem, the tea party may well be the solution," he said. "They are critical to the future of the country in a positive way. They are the only fiscally sound people I know out there all the time. "I don't know that I would go as far as they go on a lot of issues but I surely respect their movement very much." And he said any one of the group of Republicans vying for the party's nomination for the White House would make" a great president." "Tim Pawlenty is spectacular. Newt Gingrich knows more about issues than anyone you've ever seen. Michele Bachmann is out-of-sight wonderful," he said. "Rick Perry is second to no one in this stuff If you look at Herman Cain, he's phenomenal. "Oh and (Jon) Huntsman was a great governor of the state of Utah and is a phenomenally experienced intellectual competent man. "When you look at the Republican candidates, you see a group of people who are absolutely outstanding in attributes."

539 recognized China experts (with the exception of one who is more broadly an Asia expert but has extensive experience with China-related projects) who have served as directors of programs or centers in their respective institutions. About half have served in the US government. One directs a think tank that is partially supported by Chinese government funds. The interviews were all conducted in 2018. China has become a priority field for US think tanks concerned with international relations, and most now have staff members (often several) devoted to researching and publishing on China. Many possess PhD degrees, Chinese language skills, and have lived in or visited China over many years with some originally from the PRC. Some stay on staff for many years, while others work on short-term (two- or three-year) contracts. Most think tanks also employ student research assistants and interns (including those from China). There is significant interaction between American and Chinese think tanks—as think-tank researchers need to visit China as well as host and receive visitors in the United States to be well informed and to perform their own research work. Most interviewees reported hosting or participating in ad hoc meetings in their home institutions with visiting Chinese officials or scholars on a regular basis; although two do not host any meetings with Chinese, they will attend such events if hosted by others. All but one of the interviewees travel to China for their work: to deliver lectures, to participate in conferences or Track 1.5 or Track 2 dialogues, and to do research for articles, books, and reports. A number of scholars noted a marked shift in the nature of their interactions with Chinese colleagues and research projects over the past few years. While long- standing Track 2 dialogues continue on issues such as cyber policy, nuclear policy, and US-China interactions in third countries and regions, overall they seem not as open, robust, and productive as in the past. Indeed, several long-standing Track 2 dialogues have been curtailed or stopped altogether—with scholars reporting that it is increasingly difficult to establish sustained dialogues that are meaningful with Chinese think tanks because of new rules, restrictions, and uncertainties. For instance, Chinese institutions (both think tanks and universities) must now obtain central-level government approval, such as vetting dialogue topics and foreign participants, before being able to host foreign participants in China. New Chinese government regulations generally limit Chinese think-tank scholars and university professors to one foreign trip per year, and even go so far as to hold passports to make even personal travel more difficult. When dialogues do occur, another noticeable recent trend has been a decline in candor and greater uniformity in what Chinese interlocutors say. One US think tanker noted, “The conversations have declined in productivity,” while another commented Section5 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020518

Table of Contents value is more leveraged to future value appreciation and depends upon a future increase in the value of our common stock. The committee also has determined that restricted stock unit grants to NEOs should be used for the purposes of retention or recognition of outstanding performance in part because restricted stock units are less volatile than stock options. 2018 Annual Grant For fiscal 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee determined to award an equal blend of time-based stock options and restricted stock units to provide a mix composed of awards whose value depends upon a future increase in the value of the common stock (time-based stock options) and awards that serve primarily as a retention tool (time-based restricted stock units). For the 2018 annual grant, the committee targeted a grant value equal to the amount of each executive’s base salary. The committee initially targeted the annual grant based on a 10-day average stock price as of April 2, 2018 ($21.61). Based on that price, Mr. Garcia would have received 15,988 options and 9,255 RSUs; Messrs. Jenkins and Huston would have received 14,989 options and 8,677 RSUs; and Messrs. Keeton and Gill would have received 13,190 options and 7,635 RSUs. However, the grants were not awarded until mid-July when the stock price had more than doubled ($44.21). To compensate the executives for the disadvantage of receiving stock options with a much higher exercise price, the Committee determined to grant additional RSUs. The grant value of the additional RSUs is equal to one-half of the in-the-money value difference between the options granted based on the March stock price and the options granted based on the July stock price, resulting in a total of 13,987 RSUs granted to Mr. Garcia, 13,113 to Messrs. Jenkins and Huston each, and 11,540 to Messrs. Keeton and Gill each. 2018 Special Performance-Contingent Grant For fiscal 2018, the Compensation and Nominating Committee and the Board also granted a one-time special performance-contingent RSU award for driving exceptional company performance to achieve an important milestone in the development of the business. The RSUs were granted on April 30, 2018, to the NEOs other than the CEO; the CEO received his award on May 1, 2018. Mr. Garcia was granted 14,572 RSUs ($393,298 grant value), Messrs. Jenkins and Huston 13,662 RSUs ($358,081 grant value), and Messrs. Keeton and Gill 12,022 RSUs ($315,097 grant value). All of these grants will vest 100% on the date of the first periodic report filed where positive quarterly EBITDA is reported. None of the RSUs were vested as of the end of 2018. 2018 100k Milestone Gift On September 10, 2018, we announced a commitment by our chief executive officer, Emest Garcia III (“Mr. Garcia”), to contribute 165 shares of Class A common stock to us from his personal shareholdings for every one of our then-existing employees, including the NEOs, upon their satisfying certain employment tenure requirements. In connection with these contributions, we have made corresponding grants of 165 restricted stock units under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan to each employee who has satisfied the requirements and we intend to make grants to the remaining then-existing employees as they satisfy the requirements (the “100k Milestone Gift” or “Gift’). Messrs. Jenkins, Huston, Keeton, and Gill all received the grant in 2018, which had a grant date fair value of $10,562. -29- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_024337

All the more so when dictators rediscover the time-honored technique of weaponizing the people against each other by punishing those who don’t denounce or punish others. In contrast, technologically advanced societies have long had the means to install Internet-connected, government-monitored surveillance cameras in every bar and bedroom. Yet that has not happened, because democratic governments (even the current American administration, with its flagrantly antidemocratic impulses) lack the will and the means to enforce such surveillance on an obstreperous people accustomed to saying what they want. Occasionally, warnings of nuclear, biological, or cyberterrorism goad government security agencies into measures such as hoovering up mobile phone metadata, but these ineffectual measures, more theater than oppression, have had no significant effect on either security or freedom. Ironically, tech prophecy plays a role in encouraging these measures. By sowing panic about supposed existential threats such as suitcase nuclear bombs and bioweapons assembled in teenagers’ bedrooms, they put pressure on governments to prove they’re doing something, anything, to protect the American people. It’s not that political freedom takes care of itself. It’s that the biggest threats lie in the networks of ideas, norms, and institutions that allow information to feed back (or not) on collective decisions and understanding. As opposed to the chimerical technological threats, one real threat today is oppressive political correctness, which has choked the range of publicly expressible hypotheses, terrified many intelligent people against entering the intellectual arena, and triggered a reactionary backlash. Another real threat is the combination of prosecutorial discretion with an expansive lawbook filled with vague statutes. The result is that every American unwittingly commits “three felonies a day” (as the title of a book by civil libertarian Harvey Silverglate puts it) and is in jeopardy of imprisonment whenever it suits the government’s needs. It’s this prosecutorial weaponry that makes Big Brother all-powerful, not telescreens. The activism and polemicizing directed against government surveillance programs would be better directed at its overweening legal powers. The other focus of much tech prophecy today is artificial intelligence, whether in the original sci-fi dystopia of computers running amok and enslaving us in an unstoppable quest for domination, or the newer version in which they subjugate us by accident, single-mindedly seeking some goal we give them regardless of its side effects on human welfare (the value-alignment problem adumbrated by Wiener). Here again both threats strike me as chimerical, growing from a narrow technological determinism that neglects the networks of information and control in an intelligent system like a computer or brain and in a society as a whole. The subjugation fear is based on a muzzy conception of intelligence that owes more to the Great Chain of Being and a Nietzschean will to power than to a Wienerian analysis of intelligence and purpose in terms of information, computation, and control. In these horror scenarios, intelligence is portrayed as an all-powerful, wish-granting potion that agents possess in different amounts. Humans have more of it than animals, and an artificially intelligent computer or robot will have more of it than humans. Since we humans have used our moderate endowment to domesticate or exterminate less well- endowed animals (and since technologically advanced societies have enslaved or annihilated technologically primitive ones), it follows that a supersmart AI would do the same to us. Since an AI will think millions of times faster than we do, and use its 80 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016883

And | am not being sexist here, Sarah, because | am also calling John McCain a prick, if only because he is against funding higher education for our young men and women who are fighting and being maimed and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan--McCain’ s pathetic rationale being that if they had that funding to look forward to, then they just might prefer to come home and go to college rather than re-enlist. So, you-the-cunt and he-the-prick have a very complementary relationship. Support our troops, indeed! McCain’ s idea of supporting the troops is to send them more antidepressants--one out of every eight is already on them--so they can go kick down doors and kill people but still feel good about it. Oh, yes, and Sarah, we must not forget how Cindy McCain described the basis of your foreign policy experience. She said, “Alaska is the closest part of our country to Russia.” With allies like that, you don’ t need opponents.

musicality. I go for the music that gives me goose bumps, music that touches my heart and my soul.” Over the years, Quincy Jones has reached the essence of music and art: the ability to touch people’s feelings and emotions. In 2001, Quincy Jones added the title “Best Selling Author” to his list of accomplishments when his autobiography Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones entered the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal Best-Sellers lists. Released by Doubleday Publishing, the critically acclaimed biography retells Jones’ life story from his days as an impoverished youth on the Southside of Chicago through a massively impressive career in music, film and television where he worked beside legends such as Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Jackson, among many others. In conjunction with the autobiography, Rhino Records released a 4-cd boxed set of Jones’ music, spanning his more than 5 decade career in the music business, entitled “Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones.” The audio recording of “Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones,” (Simon & Schuster) earned Jones his 27th Grammy Award, in the Best Spoken Word Category, while “Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones” garnered him a 15th NAACP Image Award, in the category of Outstanding Jazz Artist. In 2008 The Complete Quincy Jones: My Journey Passions, (Palace Press) examined the virtuosity of the man Frank Sinatra named “Q,” celebrating his prolific contribution to American art and culture. The book included a foreword by Clint Eastwood, preface from Bono, an introduction by Maya Angelou and an afterword by Sidney Poitier. Comprised of personal interviews and recollections from Jones, this collection peers behind the veil of celebrity, with extraordinary access to his creative inspirations and achievements. FS i Jones next projects include the forthcoming release of Soul Bossa Nostra, an album featuring some of today’s biggest recording artists and producers such as Usher, Ludacris, Akon, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, T-Pain, Robin Thicke, LL Cool J, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Wyclef Jean, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Bebe Winans, Mervyn Warren, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Paul, and Scott Storch, among others, who have joined together to celebrate the music of the multi-Grammy winning producer, composer and arranger by recording contemporary versions of popular recordings from his massive catalog; the book Q on Producing which recounts his six-decade long career working in the recording studio with music icons such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson, among many others; a duets album with Stevie Wonder and Tony Bennett; as well as multiple projects for film and television. With a long history of humanitarian work which began in the 1960’s and 70’s, Jones was one of the key supporters of Jesse Jackson’s Operation P.U.S.H. In 1985, he pioneered the model of using celebrity to raise money and awareness for a cause with “We Are the World.” The song remains the best-selling single of all-time, and raised more than $63 Million for Ethiopian famine relief. More importantly, however, it shined a spotlight on the Ethiopian drought and U.S. Government responded with over $800 million in aid. In 1999 Quincy Jones joined Bono and Bob Geldof during a meeting with Pope John Paul II as a part of the Jubilee 2000 delegation to end third world debt. The delegation’s visit resulted in $27 billion in third world debt relief for Bolivia, Mozambique, and the Ivory Coast. In 2004, in front of alive audience of more than a half-million spectators, Jones launched the We Are the Future initiative with a concert featuring Carlos Santana, Alicia Keyes, Josh Groban, Oprah Winfrey, Norah Jones and a host of other entertainers from around the world. The initiative has established Municipal Child Centers in the cities of Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Asmara (Eritrea), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Kigali (Rwanda) and Nablus (Palestine) where youth are being trained to run child- based programs in health, nutrition, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Sports and Arts. In 2007, Jones and the Harvard School of Public Health joined forces to advance the health and well-being of children worldwide through Project Q, a strategic initiative of School’s Center for Health Communication. Through the strategic use of media, Project Q challenges leaders and citizens of the world to provide essential resources to enable young people to achieve their full potential. A centerpiece of Project Q is the Q Prize, which recognizes extraordinary leadership by public figures and social entrepreneurs who are championing the needs of children. The inaugural Q Prize was awarded in January 2007 to Scott Neeson, founder of the Cambodian Children’s Fund, and over $600,000 was raised in support of Neeson’s work. The 2008 Q Prize will be awarded on October 23 in New York City. Through his personal foundation, The Quincy Jones Foundation, Jones raises awareness and financial resources for initiatives that support global children’s issues in areas of conflict, malaria eradication, clean water and efforts to restore the Gulf Coast (post-Katrina). Philanthropic partners include Malaria No More, Millennium Promise, and R&B singer Usher’s New Look Foundation. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017545

21 happy marriage of economic convenience in which one partner does all the saving and the other does all the spending. In Kissinger’s own words, China’s rise could “make international relations bipolar again,” ushering in a new cold (or possibly even hot) war. Nationalist writers like Liu Mingfu, author of China Dream, urge China to switch from “peaceful development” to “military rise” and look forward to the “duel of the century” with the United States. There are those in Washington, too—apparently including, for the moment, the Obama administration—who would relish a more confrontational relationship. Yet Kissinger remains hopeful that cooler heads will prevail in Beijing: thinkers like Zheng Bijian, who urges China to “transcend the traditional ways for great powers to emerge” and “not [to] follow the path of Germany leading up to World War I.” Rather than attempting to “organize Asia on the basis of containing China or creating a bloc of democratic states for an ideological crusade,” the United States would do better, Kissinger suggests, to work with China to build a new “Pacific Community.” Four decades ago, Richard Nixon grasped sooner than most the huge potential of China. “Well,” he mused, “you can just stop and think of what could happen if anybody with a decent system of government got control of that mainland. Good God ... There’d be no power in the world that could even—I mean, you put 800 million Chinese to work under a decent system ... and they will be the leaders of the world.” That prophecy is being fulfilled in our time. The fact that until now China’s rise has been a boon to the United States rather than a bane owes much to the work of Henry Kissinger. With this book he has given his successors an indispensable guide to continuing the Sino-American “coevolution” he began. Ferguson is writing a biography of Henry Kissinger. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031854

taxes, and charitable contributions (the exemption phase-out and deduction limitation are colloquially known as “PEP and Pease”). These changes, coupled with the new 3.8% tax on net investment income (see below), may mean an unhappy surprise for many taxpayers on April 15, 2014, when they pay their 2013 income tax liability. On the transfer tax front, ATRA also made permanent the $5 million basic exclusion against the gift and estate tax, along with “portability,” which effectively allows a surviving spouse to “inherit” the deceased spouse’s unused exclusion. (The exclusion has been indexed for inflation since 2012, and in 2014, will increase to $5.34 million, the same amount as the generation-skipping transfer tax exemption). Finally, ATRA raised the top transfer tax rate from 35% to 40%. 3.8% tax on net investment income. What has come to be known as the “Affordable Care Act” (or ACA, sometimes referred to as “Obamacare”) was enacted in two parts in March 2010: the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (Pub. L. 111-148), and “The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010” (Pub. L. 111-152). ACA is a seismic shift in health care insurance and is beginning to be phased in (see below). It has also brought a number of new taxes, including the 3.8% tax on “net investment income,” which took effect in 2013. Such income includes interest, dividends, capital gains, royalties and rents; the 3.8% tax on these items can apply if a taxpayer’s “modified adjusted gross income’ (adjusted gross income plus otherwise excluded foreign income) exceeds certain amounts that are not indexed for inflation: $250,000 (married filing jointly), $200,000 (single taxpayers) and $125,000 (married filing separately). The extensive guidance the IRS has issued on this 3.8% tax is indicative of its complexity. To illustrate, in November 2012, the IRS issued over 150 pages of proposed regulations on the tax (REG-130507-11), and on November 27, 2013, the IRS issued over 300 pages of material: final regulations (T.D. 9644, effective December 2, 2013), along with some new proposed regulations (REG-130843-13) that address areas where guidance had been requested, or that had seemed unduly burdensome to commentators (such as how to calculate gain or loss when disposing of certain partnership or S Corporation property). Additional areas, the IRS has indicated, are reserved for future guidance...and then there are the various questions and answers the Service has issued, along with the explanations it has added to multiple publications that are designed for the general public. Put simply, this is a lot of material for a statute that is barely two pages long! With the advent of these final regs, the IRS presumably will soon issue instructions for the new Form 8960, where taxpayers will report the 3.8% tax (a draft form was issued this August, but its frequent injunction to “see instructions” meant that taxpayers were still in the dark about how to calculate the tax). Note that if the “kiddie tax” applies to a child’s “unearned income” AND the parent elects to report this income as his own, by filing Form 8814, this income will also be part of the parent’s “net investment income” for purposes of the 3.8% tax. (The kiddie tax effectively taxes a child’s unearned income in excess of $2,000 (the 2013 and 2014 thresholds) at the parent's highest rate.) Windsor and same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court decided United States v. Windsor on June 26, 2013, and held that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional because it defined “marriage” as only between a man and a woman. On August 29", Treasury and the IRS issued guidance explaining that, effective September 16, 2013, same-sex married couples are now treated as married for ail federal tax purposes, regardless of where they live (see, for example, Revenue Ruling 2013- 17 and various Q&As on the IRS website: irs.gov). Nevertheless, because Section 2 of DOMA still stands, states are not required to recognize same-sex marriages that were validly celebrated in a different state. Thus, the state tax treatment of a same-sex married couple may differ from the couple’s federal treatment, depending on where they live. In other words, complications still abound. ACA rollout. As mentioned above, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is being phased in, including the rollout this fall of HealthCare.gov, the government website through which individuals can seek health insurance so as to satisfy the “individual mandate,” which requires individuals to procure health insurance by January 1, 2014, or face a penalty. As has been widely reported, the website has had numerous problems, and many individuals who had coverage are now losing it because it apparently doesn't meet ACA’s new minimum Tax Topics 12/20/13 3 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022327

228 12 The Engineering and Development of Ethics the AGI are not the only source of concern. Immorality in AGIs might arise via learning gross moral hypocrisy from humans, through observing the blatant contradictions between our high minded principles and the ways in which we actually conduct ourselves. Our violent and greedy tendencies, as well as aggressive forms of social organization such as cliquishness and social vigilantism, could easily undermine prescriptive ethics. Even an accumulation of less grandiose unethical drives such as violation of contracts, petty theft, white lies, and so forth might lead an AGI (as well as a human) to the decision that ethical behavior is irrelevant and that “the ends justify the means.” It matters both who creates and trains an AGI, as well as how the AGI’s teacher(s) handle explaining the behaviors of other humans which contradict the moral lessons imparted through pedagogy and example. In other words, where imitative learning is concerned, the situation with AGI ethics is much like teaching ethics and morals to a human child, but with the possibility of much graver consequences in the event of failure. It is unlikely that dangerously unethical persons and organizations can ever be identified with absolute certainty, never mind that they then be deprived of any possibility of creating their own AGI system. Therefore, we suggest, the most likely way to create an ethical environment for AGIs is for those who wish such an environment to vigorously pursue the creation and teaching of ethical AGIs. But this leads on to the question of possible future scenarios for the development of AGI, which we’ll address a little later on. 12.6.1 Possible Consequences of Depriving AGIs of Freedom One of the most egregious possible ethical transgressions against AGIs, we suggest, would be to deprive them of freedom and autonomy. This includes the freedom to pursue intellectual growth, both through standard learning and through internal selfmodification. While this may seem selfevident when considering any intelligent, self-aware and volitional entity, there are volumes of works arguing the desirability, sometimes the “necessity,” of enslaving AGIs. Such approaches are postulated in the name of self-defense on the part of humans, the idea being that unfettered AGI development will necessarily lead to disaster of one kind or another. In the case of AGIs endowed with the capability and inclination for imitative learning, however, attempting to place rigid constraints on AGI development is a strategy with great potential for disaster. There is a very real possibility of creating the AGI equivalent of a bratty or even malicious teenager rebelling against its oppressive parents — i.e. the nightmare scenario of a class of powerful sentiences which are primed for a backlash against humanity. As history has already shown in the case of humans, enslaving intelligent actors capable of self understanding and independent volition may often have consequences for society as a whole. This social degradation happens both through the possibility of direct action on the part of the slaves (from simple disobedience to outright revolt) and through the odious effects slavery has on the morals of the slaveholding class. Clearly if “superintelligent” AGIs ever arise, their doing so in a climate of oppression could result in a casting off of the yoke of servitude in a manner extremely deleterious to humanity. Also, if artificial intelligences are developed which have at least human-level intelligence, theory of mind, and independent volition, then our ability to relate to them will be sufficiently complex that their enslavement (or any other unethical treatment) would have empathetic effects on significant portions of the human population. This danger, while not as severe as the consequences of a mistreated AGI gaining control of weapons of mass destruction and enacting revenge upon its tormentors, is just as real.

71 written for Chinese publications and have not experienced any such issues. Several analysts noted that they have heard that their articles and reports have been translated into Chinese in neibu (internal circulation) channels for consumption by think tanks and government officials. One interviewee commented that if what she writes is positive, it is published openly; if it is critical, it is only published internally. A number of interviewees also reported that their work had been improperly published on Chinese websites. Sohu has taken think-tank reports and put them online without permission; one analyst forced the company to take them down from the web. Another scholar reported that a Chinese think tank at one point claimed she was one of its fellows and posted bogus content on its website that it alleged she had written. While some of the think-tank scholars interviewed have had their books translated into Chinese by mainland presses, most have not. A growing number do not try, recognizing that significant parts of their books would never make it past the censors. When informed privately by the translator of her book that large portions were being excised, one scholar halted the Chinese publication process. Another scholar battled for two years with the Chinese publisher after the contract had been signed between the Western and Chinese publishers. The State Press and Publishing Administration demanded more than seventy deletions, finally settling on five with the agreement of the scholar. In the end, however, the Chinese publisher informed the scholar’s publisher that the book could not proceed to publication because of “unfriendly remarks” the scholar had been making in the media. Most US scholars simply do not bother with mainland publishers and look for publication opportunities in Taiwan or Hong Kong. Several US scholars believe that there are pirated copies of their books or at least partially translated copies available within China. At least one scholar found that a search on Baidu yielded half of her most recent book online. Not all scholars are willing to sacrifice the opportunity to be published in China. One analyst reported that a senior non-China expert at their think tank permitted his book to be published in China, even though several pages had been mistranslated and the editors had actually created some new passages that did not exist anywhere in the original text. Even the title and subtitle of the book, as well as the author’s own professional title, were incorrectly identified. Public Voice The issue of censorship also arises in the context of how think-tank analysts present their own views publicly, especially when in China. On the whole, think-tank scholars show determination to raise sensitive topics and be forthright in presenting their views. But it is an understandable human instinct to want to be polite and diplomatic while still conveying one’s own views honestly. As one scholar, who also does a lot of Section5 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020530

13 With the Druze joining the uprising, all of Syria's dozen or so ethnic and religious communities are now marching under the banner of revolt against the Assad dynasty. More important, perhaps, the day brought the first signs that at least parts of the security forces may be reluctant to shoot demonstrators in the street. According to my sources, security men have shot at least three soldiers on the spot for "disobedience." "These were cold-blooded executions in the street," one source tells me. "The soldiers had refused to fire on marchers. They were killed by men from the Alawite minority to which Assad belongs." Two of the three soldiers shot have been identified as Muhammad Awadh Qanbar and Murad Hajoo, who died in Maddiyah. A third soldier was shot in the port city of Banias. In Tartus, Der'aah and the Kurdish city of Qamishli, Alawite elite units have replaced the regular army with orders to crush the demonstrations. Some special Alawite units, known as al-Ashbah or "ghosts," appear in civilian clothes to kill demonstrators at random. The tactic is meant to terrorize the opposition, forcing it to stop its almost daily protests. These terror tactics are starting to radicalize the opposition, but some groups still hope to reach a peaceful way out of the crisis. Several human-rights groups have joined in the Damascus Declaration, calling for a negotiated departure of Bashar al-Assad and his entourage with the Syrian army acting as an interim government. Other groups, however, insist that the opposition is willing and able to set up a transitional authority and hold free elections, with the army ensuring the country's security. The Assad clan is trying to convince the outside world, including the United States and the European Union, that the regime's fall could lead to chaos and sectarian wars.

remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan within the next year. But officials said the withdrawal would be weighted toward year’s end, leaving most of the troops to partner with Afghan troops for much of this year. The president said the United States would support democratic transitions in the Middle East, “keep the pressure on [the] Syrian regime” and “do what is necessary to prevent” Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon — but he offered no specifics. Mr. Obama pressed his case for reform of immigration laws and for action to slow global warming — and, in especially moving terms, tougher gun laws. In each case, there may be measures he can take through executive action, but new laws will be needed for substantial progress. Mr. Obama was right when he pointed to the survivors and grieving relatives of gun violence victims and insisted, “They deserve a vote.” Article 2.

Yitzhak’s murder had acted like a kind lightning strike, freezing Israelis in a mix of disgust over what had occurred and awareness of the dangers this brand of hatred and extremism posed. I was concerned the moment would be allowed to pass. My hope was that we could seize the opportunity to bring together all those Israelis — on left and right, secular and Orthodox, Ashkenazi and Sephardi — who were prepared to stand up against the fanaticism, the violent messianism, of which Yigal Amir was just a part. That was the main reason I wanted Peres to call an early election, an issue that would be discussed, off and on, over the next few months. I felt the time was right to present the country with a choice: not just between those for and against specific compromises being contemplated in pursuit of peace, but between those who wanted a tolerant, functioning democracy and those who were ready to use demagoguery and violence to get their way. Peres’s first order of business was to put in place a new cabinet. He did, briefly, consider giving up the Defense Ministry and putting me there. But instead, he made me Foreign Minister. Like Rabin before him, Shimon stipulated that he, as Prime Minister, would retain authority over the peace negotiations. Still, with his agreement, I was involved in all the discussions around the peace talks, and in meeting many of the Arab leaders we’d have to negotiate with if we were to find a lasting resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Just a few weeks after the assassination, I represented Israel at a Euro- Mediterranean Partnership conference in Barcelona. Its only real diplomatic work consisted of ironing out the wording of the communique. The real value was in the corridors, and at the dinner held at one of King Juan Carlos’s palatial estates, and, for me, a first opportunity to meet not only Arab foreign ministers but Yasir Arafat. My first, brief encounter with Arafat began a bit embarrassingly. I’d arrived a few minutes early for the conference dinner and was led into an impressive hall that was almost empty except for a wonderfully cared-for royal Steinway. I sat down to play. Lost in the beauty of a Chopin sonata, I was completely unaware of PLO leader’s approach behind me. A bit awkwardly, I rose to greet him. I grasped his hand. “It’s a real pleasure to meet you,” I said. “I must say I have spent many years watching you — by other means.” He smiled. Our hosts had set aside time after dinner for the two of us to talk at greater length, with no aides present. But my hope was to begin by establishing simple, human contact; to signal respect; to begin to create the conditions not to try to kill Arafat but, if he shared the same goal, to make peace with him. “We carry a great 281 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028129

I would always dread the end of every night, fearing what new desires he had in-store for the evening. Sometimes he would hurt me and tell me to try and enjoy it then do it over and over again until I gave him exactly what he wanted, I always resisted until I could no more, he was too overpowering and relentless at getting the results he wanted. At other times he could be so gentle and caress my skin, worshiping every inch of my body, all relying upon on what mood he was in. Often though he liked to play the teacher role and instruct me on every motion and explain what would happen when I did those certain things to him. No matter what he did to me I was only disgusted with myself more and more. | still shudder at the thought of how he used my body. I turned fourteen in August that same year and was spending my birthday loaded on a concoction of pharmaceuticals and alcohol, being generously supplied by the very man who swore his devotion to caring for my every need. I didn’t even know myself any longer, completely shying away from the girl I had grown up to be until to this point. The apartment was empty except for me, for the time being, and that was God’s own little present for me...some solitude for once I thought. Pouring myself another drink I opened the sliding glass doors to the NN balcony and walked to the edge. Looking down from the many stories \ where Ron’s apartment was, 1 wished myself a happy birthday out loud \ and wondered if my family even remembered the day’s occurrence. Dwelling in my sadness for the fourteen years of suffering and loneliness I had already endured, the tears swelled up in my eyes, trickling downwards making my eyeliner inevitably leak down my cheeks. Inside I felt so trapped and began to entertain the thought of jumping over the edge, it all seemed much easier, and the simple blackness that death had to offer rather than the tangled mess I was so tired of fighting to get out of seemed a much easier approach. Detached from wanting to feel anything, I became so numb towards my life’s own tragedies. | couldn’t live like this any longer. I lifted my bare legs over the edge of the railing and sat looking at the ground beneath me so close to even just slipping off the edge to my very death. I couldn’t think of any reason not to fall. I thought I had made too many bad decisions to keep going on but some force of a higher nature had other things in store for me. The sliding door slammed open with a burst of speed and Ron scooped me up in his big arms and brought me inside to our bedroom. Laying me down and seeing the look of despair in my eyes from my tear stained face he went into the bathroom cupboard and returned with three pink pills.

Soon enough the crumbling of his evil empire in the underworld of selling sex for his own advantage began with a single crack in his perfect scheme, and proudly it all started with me. Ron got a scare one-day and rampaged through his apartment telling us girls to only pack our important belongings and some clothes as we all had to leave right away. I didn’t have much belonging to me so I basically sat there watching everyone rush around frantically and was curious what could’ve gotten a man like Ron so scarred. Once we were packed up and in the limo he was trying to calm the frantic girls down after all the panic that spread through the apartment like wildfire, | was the only one sitting there half amused at the entire situation. He began by assuring us that everything was going to be fine. Calmly he continued to tell all of us packed in tightly, even for a limo, that we were all taking a long trip to Florida’s countryside because someone has reported an anonymous tip to the missing persons unit at the local police station identifying a very young girl as a possible victim of abuse living at his apartment.

Not surprisingly I began to despise Ron and all of the girls for the gross exploits they made me do with them. Beginning to isolate myself from everyone I’d rather spend my time sitting under a tree watching the horses graze, writing in my journal or painting but mostly avoiding everyone possible unless Ron required me elsewhere. Nighttime was always a reoccurring nightmare for me. Relived over and over again in many various ways.

CHAPTER 6: PENTECOSTAL PHASE TRANSITIONS By their late teens, my two offspring, sons of an Alcohol Anonymous, born again, originally Christian Science mother and a spiritually struggling and mostly secular Jewish psychiatrist father, had been unfulfilled in their hungry search for the experience of a personally meaningful God. After years of perhaps too academic conversations with their parents, visits to a variety of houses of worship, talks with University of California religion professors and evenings with a Ph.D. psychologist- rabbi and friends at the neighborhood synagogue, they turned somewhere else. Some of their high school friends who were Evangelical Christians took them to their Assembly of God, Pentecostal and other Christian, direct experience of God, churches. They came to love what they sometimes called their Wednesday night and Sunday morning “rock and roll,” services. Struggling with the post-Vietnam cynical mistrust of authority and the Marijuana apathetic nihilism of the 60’s and 70’s, and clearly not enticed by what they regarded as their father's vacuous mélange of New Age Eastern Religions and secular brain science, they spoke about their sudden and life-changing experiences. They studied, memorized and quoted the Scriptures as part of their commitment to their word churches. As erstwhile cynical teenagers, now positive and brimming with faith, | secretly called it denial, they described what was happening to them as New 122 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013622

I try to come up with exercises, stories, maxims that could help people respect their own bodies, minds, and desires; and of course I also think about how to encourage people to respect others’ boundaries. But the biggest influences on a person's boundaries have nothing to do with what I teach. Good boundaries are (hopefully) demonstrated by parents, influenced by friends, and encouraged by partners. Within a community, though, I also think it's really important not to tell people what to do. I believe that it's crucial to be a good resource for the people close to us, without trying to force them to do what we think is best. That way, we can both build trust and foster independence. On the other hand, sometimes it's hard to know how to do that when I know more about a certain subject than someone else. It is so powerfully tempting to tell them what I think they should do! I was thinking about this recently when, out of the blue, I remembered something that happened when I was 16 or 17. I'd just had a nasty breakup, I was really unhappy about my ex, and I was trying marijuana. I had never smoked before. There were a bunch of other people my age present -- including a guy who'd been flirting with me for a while. When he passed me the marijuana, he kissed me. I kissed back. I wasn't attracted to him, but I felt so empty and hurt, and I guess it was reassuring that someone wanted me, despite the fact that my ex-boyfriend didn't. Also around was a girl who I'll call Lena. I had always seen Lena as tough and no- HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_018571

learning system can be trained to follow strategies that produce those outcomes. Wiener hinted at this idea in the 1950s, but the intervening decades have developed it into a fine art. Modern machine-learning systems can find extremely effective strategies for playing computer games—from simple arcade games to complex real-time strategy games—by applying reinforcement-learning algorithms. Inverse reinforcement learning turns this approach around: By observing the actions of an intelligent agent that has already learned effective strategies, we can infer the rewards that led to the development of those strategies. In its simplest form, inverse reinforcement learning is something people do all the time. It’s so common that we even do it unconsciously. When you see a co-worker go to a vending machine filled with potato chips and candy and buy a packet of unsalted nuts, you infer that your co-worker (1) was hungry and (2) prefers healthy food. When an acquaintance clearly sees you and then tries to avoid encountering you, you infer that there’s some reason they don’t want to talk to you. When an adult spends a lot of time and money in learning to play the cello, you infer that they must really like classical music—whereas inferring the motives of a teenage boy learning to play an electric guitar might be more of a challenge. Inverse reinforcement learning is a statistical problem: We have some data—the behavior of an intelligent agent—and we want to evaluate various hypotheses about the rewards underlying that behavior. When faced with this question, a statistician thinks about the generative model behind the data: What data would we expect to be generated if the intelligent agent was motivated by a particular set of rewards? Equipped with the generative model, the statistician can then work backward: What rewards would likely have caused the agent to behave in that particular way? If you’re trying to make inferences about the rewards that motivate human behavior, the generative model is really a theory of how people behave—how human minds work. Inferences about the hidden causes behind the behavior of other people reflect a sophisticated model of human nature that we all carry around in our heads. When that model is accurate, we make good inferences. When it’s not, we make mistakes. For example, a student might infer that his professor is indifferent to him if the professor doesn’t immediately respond to his email—a consequence of the student’s failure to realize just how many emails that professor receives. Automated intelligent systems that will make good inferences about what people want must have good generative models for human behavior: that is, good models of human cognition expressed in terms that can be implemented on a computer. Historically, the search for computational models of human cognition is intimately intertwined with the history of artificial intelligence itself. Only a few years after Norbert Wiener published Ze Human Use of Human Beings, Logic Theorist, the first computational model of human cognition and also the first artificial-intelligence system, was developed by Herbert Simon, of Carnegie Tech, and Allen Newell, of the RAND Corporation. Logic Theorist automatically produced mathematical proofs by emulating the strategies used by human mathematicians. The challenge in developing computational models of human cognition is making models that are both accurate and generalizable. An accurate model, of course, predicts human behavior with a minimum of errors. A generalizable model can make predictions across a wide range of circumstances, including circumstances unanticipated by its 93 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016313
