India 2008: Friends and Rivals
By Edward Luce on March 30, 2010
It has become commonplace to describe the future of the world as belonging to China and India—Chindia, as the ugly neologism would have it. Both economies are roaring along, of course, with China hitting double-digit growth rates and India reaching the high single digits. It is widely assumed that in just a few decades China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy with India likely to follow by 2050.
But if 21st-century economic interests have supplanted traditional geopolitics as the primary driver of foreign policy, then somebody forgot to tell China and India. The two nations are in the midst of ambitious, multibillion-dollar military modernizations, with implications that stretch across the globe.
Although Beijing and New Delhi have strengthened ties in recent years, the neighbors have long had an awkward, at times tense, relationship, going back to a bitter war in 1962 over still-unresolved territorial disputes along their 2,500-mile border. China's aiding of Pakistan's nuclear and missile capabilities continues to chafe India, and to be sure, China hasn't forgotten the slip of the tongue by the Indian defense minister who said the chief aim of the country's 1998 nuclear weapons tests was, in fact, to deter China.
Since then India has become America's newest best friend. Partly as a way to counterbalance China, the Bush administration has actively sponsored India's rise and pursued close military relations with New Delhi. Last year battleships from India, the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Australia conducted one of the largest peacetime naval exercises in history. Operation Overlord it was not, though China might have been forgiven for thinking otherwise. The five days of war games in the Bay of Bengal, dubbed Exercise Malabar, sparked noisy protests from India's Communists. China, which had been invited to participate but declined, said nothing.
It was a telling moment between India and China. Neither wants war with the other. But as Bill Emmott notes in his absorbing new book, Rivals, conflict between China and its neighbors "is not inevitable, but nor is it inconceivable."
Even if, in the interest of politeness, neither would admit to it, India and China seem to be preparing for the worst while hoping for the best. It is hard to interpret their movements any other way. China is now building a "blue water" navy to rival that of India. The latter already has two aircraft carriers and is on course to have at least three by 2020. China's first carrier should be ready by 2015. Both countries, particularly China, are developing space-based military capabilities.
In addition, China is establishing a "string of pearls" around the Indian Ocean—naval ports in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, all India's neighbors and some, like Pakistan, openly antagonistic. China says the ports are peaceful in design, but some Indians see them as "forward bases," part of a Chinese strategy of encirclement.
India is leaving nothing to chance. Whereas New Delhi might once have accepted China's explanation or simply pretended it wasn't happening, 21st-century India is a much more hard-nosed operator. It has set about building closer ties with China's most neurotic neighbors, particularly Japan and key members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But India's most significant step has been its move closer to the United States, even calling the two countries "natural allies"—words Gandhi and Nehru, who viewed Americans as neocolonialists, could never have uttered.
Were it not for India's Communist parties, which prop up Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's waning coalition government and are motivated as much by Americaphobia as by Sinophilia, New Delhi would have already implemented its historic 2005 civil nuclear agreement with the United States. The deal would allow access to nuclear fuel technology India wants to feed its fast-growing, energy-guzzling economy. It would also, at least implicitly, shore up India's nuclear weapons capability.
The agreement has the necessary support in India and may be approved by the U.S. Congress this fall. But even if the deal sinks into the Bay of Bengal, the ships overhead will be conducting ever more elaborate naval maneuvers. The next Exercise Malabar is scheduled for 2009. By then China will be another year closer to completing its string of pearls.

June 24, 2011, Pat Parenteau: "Just Don't Bore the Judge" →
June 24, 2011, Belly Buttons and Blarney in Brattleboro
John Herron, CEO of Entergy's nuclear operations, seems affable enough. He drew a laugh in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro on Thursday when he referred to a "belly button count" as a folksy synonym for the number of people working at his company's Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. But there was nothing affable about the implied threat that Herron delivered a few minutes later in the courtroom of Judge J. Garvan Murtha. The backdrop, of course, was the lawsuit Entergy has filed against Gov. Shumlin and other high state officials seeking to block the state's assertion of veto power over the Vernon plant's continued operation after March 21, 2012. Judge Murtha convened the parties in his courtroom starting Thursday for a two-day hearing to consider Entergy's request for a preliminary injunction—a pre-trial order that would keep Vermont Yankee in business past March 2012 while the case works its way toward a possible date with the U.S. Supreme Court. Sitting in the witness box just a few feet away from the judge, Herron noted that Vermont Yankee has plans for a refueling outage beginning in late October. Then Herron explained that, in order to conduct the planned replacement of one-third of the fuel rods in the reactor, which is necessary to the facility's continued operation at full power, he would have to commit, by July 23 at the latest, to buy the radioactive material from the supplier, General Electric. The price tag, according to Herron—a cool $60 million. Herron looked Judge Murtha in the eye and testified that, unless Entergy gets its preliminary injunction, the New Orleans-based company just might close down Vermont Yankee—permanently. "Here's the challenge I have," Herron said. "I have to make a $60 million investment here that I may not ever be able to recover." Of course, the permanent shutdown of Vermont Yankee is precisely what Gov. Shumlin and lots of other Vermonters desire. But Judge Murtha is supposed to be—and by all appearances actually is—a neutral arbiter. As such, he could not have enjoyed being told by a high official of the plaintiff in an important lawsuit pending before him that unless he grants extraordinary and emergency relief—ruling along the way that the plaintiff is likely to win its case—the litigation will be pointless and hundreds of Vermonters (all those belly buttons) will lose their jobs. So here's what Judge Murtha did. He waited patiently until the lawyers were finished questioning Herron and then he posed some questions of his own. First, Judge Murtha asked Herron whether he would commit to spending that $60 million in July given that even with a preliminary injunction, the case might still end in defeat for Entergy—a process that could take years. "I would release GE to manufacture those fuel assemblies based on that," Herron testified. Then Judge Murtha pounced. "What happens if I don't?" he asked, meaning grant a preliminary injunction. Herron equivocated. "I don't want to say we would agree to shut down," he told the judge. "It's a decision we have not really finalized yet." Meanwhile, the threat stands. And Judge Murtha will have to assess it in light of a notably unpersuasive argument by Entergy. One threshold Entergy must clear is demonstrating a likelihood of success on the merits. And it is here that Entergy has its strongest case. Although there are colorable arguments on both sides, what looms large is federal legislation that, under the Constitution's supremacy clause, grants to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission the exclusive right to regulate radiological safety at nuclear power plants. When the Vermont Legislature in 2005 and 2006 adopted the bills that claimed for the lawmakers themselves the right to veto Vermont Yankee's continued operation, legislative leaders were careful to omit any mention of safety from the final draft of the bill. The second of the two contains formal legislative findings to the effect that everything but safety was the basis of the enactment. Among other things, this yielded a theatrical morning on Thursday in U.S. District Court that featured Entergy lawyer Kathleen Sullivan playing a series of "gotcha" sound bites from the legislative record. These were designed to convince Judge Murtha that no matter what the Legislature declared formally, everyone knew that the stated reasons were pretextual and the law was grounded in, to quote Sullivan's persistent refrain, "safety, safety, safety." "Okay . . . let's find another word for safety," Sen. Ann Cummings is heard saying during deliberations on the 2006 legislation. Attorney Sarah Hofmann, then the chief of public advocacy for the Vermont Department of Public Service, is likewise heard telling legislators that "we can help you come up with some language that you could put at the top (i.e., in the declaration of findings) to hopefully prevent preemption problems." Sullivan showed Murtha successive versions of at least one legislative document suggesting that lawmakers simply deleted the word "safety" prior to final enactment. It is, of course, abysmal public relations for a company that wishes to remain in Vermont to be heard trashing the state's citizen-lawmakers. So, Sullivan kept praising as "conscientious" the state legislators who were talking about safety, maintaining that this was the issue constituents seemed to care about. Vermont Assistant Attorney General Bridget Asay countered by playing a series of "anti-gotcha" sound bites on behalf of the defendants. "We are not looking at safety, we are looking at reliability," the Court heard Sen. Ginny Lyons advise her colleagues from the Senate floor. In any event, Murtha gave every indication that he regarded the sound bites as a waste of his time. He offered the very plausible theory that, by listening to those urging that references to safety be stricken from the measures, lawmakers were not being disingenuous but were, rather, simply following good legal advice to avoid the regulation of safety issues. More persuasive—and quite possibly dispositive—was Sullivan's comparison of this situation to the famous Sherlock Homes story in which the sleuth solved the case by noting the failure of a dog to bark one dark and dreary night on some moor. Here, the dog that didn't bark was the lack of references during hearings and debates to other reasons for authorizing a legislative veto of continued Vermont Yankee operations. Legislative history—all the stuff that gets said or written on the record as bills are considered—has fallen from favor in the federal courts, and for good reason. Anyone can say anything about any bill, and none of it really explains what was in the heart or head of any given legislator when he or she votes. But, in this case, the court will still want to assure itself that if the legislation in question is not about nuclear safety, it has some rational purpose. And, as was amply debated in court on Thursday, Vermont doesn't have much to regulate about Vermont Yankee other than safety for the simple reason that the plant is no longer owned by any of the state's regulated utilities. Thus, if the plant falters for some reason, the economic consequences do not inure to Vermont electric customers. This is in sharp contrast to the situation the U.S. Supreme Court confronted in its 1983 Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) case, much debated in Vermont these days. California had banned the development of new nuclear power plants on the ground that dire economic consequences could befall the state's citizenry given the lack of options for disposing of nuclear waste. The Supreme Court said this assertion was not preempted because it was not an effort to regulate safety but, rather, the economic aspects of nuclear power. But the unbuilt California plants would have been owned by regulated utilities that would have passed on those waste-related costs to their customers. Vermont Yankee is a merchant generator; if the plant goes broke over waste disposal, Entergy does not get to send the bill to Vermont electric customers. That was the whole reason for allowing Entergy to buy the plant from regulated utilities in Vermont (and elsewhere in New England) in the first place. But forget Entergy's likelihood of success on the merits for the moment. For it is Vermont Yankee's status as a merchant generator that undermines its argument on another hurdle Entergy must clear to win a preliminary injunction. Entergy must demonstrate that without the injunction, it will suffer irreparable harm as the result of the state's unconstitutional assertion of authority. In fact, what Entergy has demonstrated is that it now confronts, in admittedly stark terms, adverse consequences of the very business risk it knowingly undertook when it bought Vermont Yankee in 2002. This became patently clear as Herron was explaining why Entergy could not simply shut Vermont Yankee down temporarily and await a hoped-for final victory in court. He agreed that other nuclear plants have closed temporarily in analogous circumstances, but then he described Vermont Yankee as a "merchant plant" that is a "separate business entity that has to survive on its own." In other words, Vermont Yankee is a separate subsidiary of Entergy that has no guaranteed revenue stream from retail customers paying regulated rates. "I don't have the option of going to the ratepayers to see if I can get recovery—that option's not there for me," Herron explained to Judge Murtha. Precisely so. When Entergy bought Vermont Yankee in 2002, it did so knowing that the plant's federal operating license expired on March 21, 2012, along with its state-law authority to operate. Indeed, Entergy explicitly agreed to seek permission from the state Public Service Board for permission to continue running after that date. And Entergy knew that it would have to eat any financial losses if further licenses and permits were not forthcoming—that's what makes Vermont Yankee a merchant generator. And then there is the longstanding legal principle that one who comes before a court seeking equitable relief—in this case, a preliminary injunction—must do so with "clean hands." Entergy has a problem in this regard: It actively lobbied in favor of the first of the two bills it now challenges as unconstitutional. "That should matter," Asay argued. She has a point. Judge Murtha, for his part, seemed to be struggling with a coolness to injunctive relief on the one hand and a desire to find a middle ground on the other. He suggested during his colloquy with Herron that he might enter an injunction of limited duration and, despite previous references to trial in October, the judge also disclosed that he now plans to hear the merits of the case in September. One question this raises is: Why have a trial at all? Trials are to resolve disputed issues of fact. Here, the dispute is purely one of law: Is Vermont's assertion of authority over Energy preempted by the federal Atomic Energy Act or not? The question has been extensively briefed in connection with the request for preliminary injunction and, after this week's courtroom proceedings, the issue has now been exhaustively argued. Call me an omphaloskeptic if you want, but sometimes I think that if Entergy was really concerned with irreparable harm, it would stop talking about belly buttons and just get on with the case.

In my last post I showed you how to make Hedgehog rolls, so now I thought I'd introduce you to some real ones! These two are the more prickly members of the Angel Eden Blog family.
If you've never seen them before they are African Pygmy Hedgehogs and are significantly smaller than their European cousins. They make absolutely wonderful pets, although being an exotic animal they do require specific care such as heating. A lack of adequate warmth can result in hibernation attempts which for this small hog is extremely dangerous. With colder weather on the horizon I needed to sort out a permanent and safe solution to keep my hoggies nice and cozy.
I was quite surprised by the simplicity of this heat mat, just plug and go! As I've never used one before the instructions were very handy, although quite short. The mat has a built in thermostat and therefore does not require a separate device which is a good feature for a newbie keeper.
The instructions did make me chuckle when I read 'Keep out of reach of children and pets.' Erm… this is made for pets? I assume this is just one of those strange safety notes that has to be included, or they are in fact referring to pets like cats and dogs but it still bemused me slightly.
The thermometer was my favourite of the three products. Setting it up is simplicity itself, just pull the plastic tab out from the back then hang the probe inside your animals enclosure, ta-da an accurate reading of the ambient temperature. This gives me a lot of reassurance and is so simple and clear that even the kids can read the temperature. A must have if you have hedgehogs or reptiles!
Try saying that ten times without getting tongue tied! This is a professional looking piece of kit that provides peace of mind. It's quite unnerving when you first attach a heat mat, the fear of overheating and pets being hurt is a legitimate concern (or at least it was for me) so a professional thermostat provides peace of mind and is an absolute essential.
Would you recommend these products and Swell Reptiles?
Obviously only time will tell in regards to the products but so far I've no complaints at all and would happily recommend them. As for Swell Reptiles, the goods arrived the day after dispatch and wrapped securely. The team are very friendly via email and they have resident experts should you have any questions. Swell Reptiles sell a huge variety of goods for exotic pets and so far I can't fault them at all. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy exotic store I think this is a great place to look. Swell also offer a price matching service where they try to beat their competitors which in these hard economic times is a great feature!
It's perhaps not an obvious consideration but apparently the instructions included with the Swell Pro Heat Mat are delicious. Our naughty little miss carried them away and then anointed over them. Anointing is a curious hedgehog behaviour where they bite something they like the smell of and then lick themselves all over ! They really are funny little characters.

Keeping the old elevator design.It is a two door system. But if you like a touch of "boutiqueness" it is fine & does the job. Only two parking spots are reserved for all the guests of the hotel considering Crete as a destination that needs a rental car. In case of no parking, which happened four times during our week stay, Which is a pain if you don't find a side parking near the hotel or parking in the free parking side of the port + 7 mins walk.
Noisy at night and in early morning. The hotel is located in quite a busy area, you can hear cars, people, music. Every morning a garbage truck arrives at around 5/6 am and makes a lot of noise (beeping loudly, bins loaded, etc.). One of our rooms had a window right in front of an electricity generator pole, which keeps making a buzzing noise. Small room is either is too cold or too hot. Swimming pool very small and is in the shade most of the day.
The elevator very small and narrow. The stairs also narrow and not friendly .
Quite expensive for the facilities and the comfort but overall it's a very good hotel.
The breakfast and the view is excellent.
Would have liked higher-quality bath amenities; there was no body lotion. WiFi in the room was slow and dropped frequently.

Criminologist and white collar crime expert aims to better understand occupational and organizational offending
Criminologist Jordan Harel, PhD, aims to better understand white collar criminal offending, and consequently help prevent its victimization. A Lecturer in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, and a social justice advocate, Dr. Harel joined UOIT in 2013, and teaches courses including Issues in Organized Crime, Social Control, and Cybercrime.
His journey to criminology began with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Human Behaviour - Psychological and Social Perspectives at the University of Western Ontario (UWO). The financial crisis of 2008 prompted growing attention to the issue of white collar crime, intriguing Dr. Harel who earned a Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology at the University of Waterloo. In an effort to connect business with criminology, he earned a Doctorate of Philosophy in Sociology at UWO. His doctoral research explored the notion of the exceptionality of white collar criminals. For his analysis, he examined the criminal backgrounds and substance abuse histories of white collar offenders, comparing them to other types of offenders. Additionally, his work also led to the creation of a typology of occupational offending. He is currently supervising undergraduate research on digital piracy and white collar crime.
In 2015, he was awarded a UOIT Teaching and Innovation Fund grant to create two videos to foster a sense of community and awareness of services to help new students succeed academically in a supportive campus environment. He also serves on a number of university committees.

Design contests have been around for years and were one of the earliest successful crowsourcing models. The concept is simple, instead of paying one designer for a few concepts, offer a prize to the winner and get many designers competing with their concepts. The higher the prize, the more designers will compete.
When I ran my first design contest for a new website I was building for a client, I realized that one of the big problems with a design contest is you are choosing the design that you like, not necessarily the one that converts best or serves your marketing needs more successfully.
Along comes Dispop, a new design marketplace focused just on banner ads, that lets you create a banner ad design contest, but the winner is not chosen by you, but rather the design with the highest Click Through Rate wins. You still have lots of influence on which designs compete in your advertising test.
Basically, you write the ad copy, and create a design brief. Designers submit concepts, and you choose 5 or 10, or more depending on the package you order of designs to test. The site than integrates with google ads or facebook advertising and runs a limited advertising test to see which design gets the highest CTR, and the top ads split the prize.
An excellent idea definitely worth exploring .I just hope someone does with landing pages and A/B tests it, that would be awesome.
There is already a service for text ads called BoostCTR where you only pay if your text out gets a higher CTR than the control ad its competing against.
Check it out if you have a chance and let me know your thoughts.
I should note though that some clever brands that pay per click on their ads, and track the lift their impressions have on their search traffic, etc… might optimize for lower click through rates so they can get more impressions for less money. Perhaps they can mine the losing ads for inspiration.
Regardless, this is a clever concept which I hope to experiment with one of these days.

05 Jun C.A.M.P. ROPED PARTY WITH I RAGNI DI LECCO
Posted at 00:00h in Company by ricky
C.A.M.P. and I Ragni di Lecco are pleased to announce their new partnership: a collaboration between two historical realities that look to the future, united by the same passion and the desire to go further, innovating the equipment and drawing paths on the walls of the world.
These goals today meet, red sweaters can reach their new goals thanks to C.A.M.P., and the company from Premana will have in I Ragni a team of excellence ambassadors, from the Alps to the extra-European mountains.
Here is the sense of the rope, of being together in the wall. I Ragni, a 71 year old mountain climbing history of excellence with leading companies, believe us by their very nature as a group; C.A.M.P., founded in 1889 and international leader in the design and distribution of the most innovative outdoor equipment, believes that it is a company in which everyone works in synergy to achieve something special.
Team spirit, passion, desire to improve and of course Riccado Cassin. It is on these pillars that C.A.M.P. And the Rags have built their partnership, made more significant by being born in the presence of the same mountains and then moving further and further away
"Spiders represent a natural partner for us, driven by our own passion – says Eddy Codega, president of C.A.M.P. – In recent years, involving many young people who are already talking about themselves, the group has been able to collect the legacy of characters like Riccardo Cassin, Carlo Mauri and Casimiro Ferrari, and also succeed in widening its activity from mountaineering tout court to ' Sport climbing at the highest levels. We are therefore extremely pleased with this important partnership, which will give both great satisfaction".
Fabio Palma, president of the red sweaters, responds to Codega's words as follows: "C.A.M.P. Is a real talent expression because it takes uncommon qualities to become a world reference starting from a small mountain village like Premana. This is a first common feature with the Spiders, born at the foot of Grignetta, who have established themselves in all continents. On both sides there is then an exasperated attention to the quality of the goals, not content with repeating the already done. So we can only keep looking up, proud to collaborate with C.A.M.P. In this great new rope".

Doesn't this photo just make you want to be taking notes in school? Or at least sporting a crazy cool pony and a graphic skirt? I miss school (so much) – but I don't know if I'll have such a lust factor once I'm back in it!
I think we are on the same page. I want to go back to school so so bad. But…if I were in it, I probably wouldn't want to be there. I gotcha girl! haha.
Oh I love the midi skirt. If only I had the height for it. Thank you for the lovely comment on my blog 🙂 made my day!!

Citizens' Alliance seeking to raise minimum wage for all jobs
By Evie Andreou October 17, 2018 0228
The Citizens' Alliance party on Wednesday said they have submitted a bill proposal to raise the minimum monthly wage to €1,125 for all occupations.
The party said that this would put an end to the exploitation of private sector workers, since "employers are addicted to cheap labour force."
The current monthly minimum wage of €924, which in any case only applies to some jobs, allows employers to take advantage of their staff the party said.
"As a result, 27.5per cent of workers in Cyprus are being paid less than €1,000 per month."
The party said that most Cypriot companies could handle a raise in the minimum wage.
"The last three years, deposits of Cypriot companies in the local banking system have increased to €8.7 billion in 2017 from €5.5bn in 2015, recording thus a €3.2bn increase," it said.
Furthermore, businesses in Cyprus have declared as taxable income last year, €4.3bn compared to €3bn in 2015.
"We believe that we need to see workers as participants in growth and not as a means to increase business profits," the party said.
At the moment, a minimum wage decree is applicable for only certain occupations – such as shop assistants, clerks, child-care workers and personal care workers (nursing assistants). According to labour ministry data, the minimum monthly wage for these jobs is €870 upon recruitment rising to €924 once they have completed six months with the same employer.
Labour minister, Zeta Emilianidou, reiterated on Wednesday that a dialogue would be launched with stakeholders for the introduction of a national minimum wage for all occupations when conditions of full employment are achieved.
She was addressing an event organised by Deok trade union.
The minister said that when unemployment levels are below five per cent, meaning full employment has been achieved, "the time will be right to look into this major issue which is necessary for our country."
Emilianidou said that currently the unemployment rate in Cyprus is 7.3per cent which is lower than the EU average. For the past 53 months, she said, unemployment rates have been decreasing.
Both in 2017 and this year, Cyprus has been recording the biggest reduction in unemployment rates among EU member states, the minister said.

Mueller: "Different approach to fighting terror needed"
A United States congressional inquiry into intelligence failures in the run-up to 11 September is to give high priority to allegations that the FBI hindered an investigation of a terrorism suspect.
Coleen Rowley, an FBI agent based in Minnesota, has sent a letter to the head of the FBI and key congressmen, accusing the bureau's headquarters of setting up a "roadblock" to the investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui ahead of the terror attacks on New York and Washington.
A French citizen of Moroccan origin, Mr Moussaoui has been accused of conspiring to carry out the 11 September attacks.
Moussaoui: Minnesota agents suspected "terrorist links"
Senator Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the allegations showed there was a "lack of aggressive follow-through" over the Moussaoui case.
These concerns "deserved to have gotten greater attention," the Florida Democrat said.
Senator Graham will co-chair a congressional inquiry examining the US intelligence system, including any failures leading up to the 11 September attacks.
The inquiry, set up by a joint committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives, will begin its hearings on 4 June, he announced on Friday.
In a highly unusual step for an FBI agent, Ms Rowley sent a 13-page classified letter to FBI headquarters.
It said the bureau should have approved a request from her office for a search warrant for Mr Moussaoui, who was detained in August after arousing suspicions at a local flight school.
Ms Rowley's letter marks the first known time an FBI agent has formally complained about the agency's failure to pursue warnings before the 11 September attacks.
In the letter, she reportedly complained about a lack of co-ordination, mix-ups and even obstacles put in the way of her office's investigations from FBI headquarters.
The Minnesota office asked FBI headquarters to issue a warrant to search Mr Moussaoui's computer hard drive in August, but were told there was "insufficient probable cause" to grant the request at the time.
But according to the Washington Post, Minneapolis investigators believed there was significant evidence of Mr Moussaoui's links to terrorists.
When the request for a warrant was denied, the office tried to bypass FBI headquarters and notify the CIA's counter-terrorist operation directly. Minnesota agents were reprimanded, according to Ms Rowley's letter.
After receiving the letter on Tuesday, FBI director Robert Mueller acknowledged that his agency needed a "different approach" to fighting terror threats.
The directors of the CIA and the FBI will both be asked to attend the closed-door session of the congressional inquiry. There are plans for public hearings to take place later in the summer.
Senator Graham said the process was designed to inform Congress and the American public about what happened before, on and after 11 September, specifically as it related to the performance of the intelligence agencies.
The senator said the 23 member panel had already interviewed 175 people and gathered more than 30,000 documents.
The White House is hoping that this will be the only inquiry into intelligence issues surrounding 11 September.
But there are a significant number of influential voices calling for a much wider inquiry, conducted by a group of respected people from outside the intelligence world.
BBC Washington correspondent Justin Webb says it is already plain that the US intelligence agencies did not talk to each other as often as they should have done before 11 September, and the committee will almost certainly concentrate on the need for much better co-ordination in the future.
